Title: Inter-sections
Subtitle: Essays on Indian Literatures, Translations and Popular Consciousness
Description: Inter-sections: Essays on Indian Literatures, Translations and Popular Consciousness is a collection of eighteen discursive essays on a diverse range of subjects; from the history of literary genres to the future of humanities, from locating Indian Literatures to mapping Indian English fiction/drama, from Punjabi literature, history and culture to the theory and practice of translation, from media-driven literary evaluation to multiple ways of shaping popular consciousness. Written over the past decade or so, these essays raise some questions of fundamental nature in our post-colonial, post modern era, emphasising the need for an inter-disciplinary approach to mediate both thought and knowledge. Born of intellectual convictions of the author developed over time, and written in an easy, accessible, non-pedantic style, these essays fall across a range of contemporary issues and concerns that are bound to engage scholars as well as lay readers, with the same gusto.
