Deadline: 30 June 2011
We are glad to inform you that we are going to edit jointly our one more book of research papers on Marginal Voices in Literatures in English. Authentic, scholarly and unpublished research papers are invited from scholars/faculty/researchers/writers/professors from all over the world for this volume.
Proposed Publisher: The volume will be published with an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) by a renowned publisher.
Thematic Focus of the Volume: If Gayatri Chakravarty Spivak explores the issue of the ‘subaltern voice’ in one of the foundational essays of Postcolonial Studies, “Can the Subaltern Speak?” and notes that any attempt to recover the voices, perspectives and subjectivities of the socially outcaste is heavily compromised. We also have Frantz Fanon and of course, Homi Bhabha who argue in favour of the pathos of ‘cultural confusion’. The questions of their identities have been effectively tackled through Dalit literature. How far have the marginalised voices reached? Do other social/cultural theories offer a way out of this silence/confusion? How have the marginalised been portrayed in Literature in English? To explore these issues, we invite critical scholarly perspectives on such texts as put forth the marginalised subjectivity in literature. The articles should be on any theme of any work of literature in English, which gives an exposure to unheard voices of the Dalit and marginalized. Right from “unmarginalised”writers who have written a lot about marginalized lives to several Dalit writers who have been translated/translated other works into English, this volume welcomes an analysis of all of them. Lakshman Mane’s Upara translated as The Outsider, Vasant Moon’s Growing Up As An Untouchable translated by Gail Omvedt, Late Kishore Shantabai Kamble’s Against All Odds , and works collected by Arjun Dangle in Poisoned Bread and Homeless In My Land, Sharankumar Limbale’s Akkarmashi translated as the Outcaste are only some of the examples. We would love to explore the problem involved in crushing or establishing the “oppressive power structures” through a study of such translated texts as voice the marginalised silences or at any rate establish a “hegemonic silence” through literature.
