1.
Discuss Identity and Hybridity, Kshetra and Desha vis-à-vis folklore and
culture studies in India.
Folklore is an expression of our existence, with folk
paintings, narratives, language, culture and literature. Until about 4000 BC,
all literatures were basically folk literatures due to their orality. Writing
developed in the years between 4000 and 3000 BC, in both Egypt and the
Mesopotamian civilizations at Sumer. Thereafter, the written literature spread
rapidly from Asia, North Africa and the Mediterranean lands to rest of the
world. Nevertheless, during all these centuries when the world was learning how
to write, there still existed a large and important activity carried on by the
unlettered practitioners of oral literatures. Each one of those groups has
handled folk literature in its own way, so neither its origin nor its evolution
can be explicitly spoken of. Its transmission from person to person and its
exposure to various influences affecting it consciously or unconsciously has
brought about its constant change. In the process, some of those items may find
improvement and develop into a new literary form or may die out from the oral
repertory due to overwhelming alien influences. The skilled practitioners of
the tradition, storytellers or epic singers have preserved their literary
expression in the memory of folk who have poetically and explicitly talked
about ‘Kshetra’ and ‘Desha’ in their narratives. In due course of time, at
various places, special poetic forms have been perfected and passed on from
bard to bard. This block deals with the issues of identity and hybridity of
folk forms vis-à-vis the concepts of ‘Kshetra’, a cultural construct, and
‘Desha’, a political construct.
FOLK LANGUAGE AS A Repository of Culture REPOSITORY OF
CULTURE
The notion of language has been understood down times
and across spaces in multifarious ways. The understandings have been almost as
diverse as the processes of language itself. As a mode of communication in the
domain of culture and creative expressions, language has occupied an
intermedial matrix comprising the oral, verbal, non-verbal, visual, aural,
performative, literary and so on. In defining “speech genres”, Bakhtin writes:
All the diverse areas of human activity involve the use of language. Quite
understandably, the nature and forms of this use are just as diverse as are the
areas of human activity…Language is realized in the form of individual concrete
utterances (oral and written) by participants in various areas of human
activity.
Language is that flowing entity in contradistinction to
the apparently fixed theoretical construction of the folk. But both are
connected in a certain “social” linkage. Language is as much individual as it
is social and so is the folk. It is important to distinguish at this point the
territory of discourse and that of actual lived reality. Although the two
continuously inform each other, naming something is very much different from
the lived reality of the same. The seeming discursive fixity of the term folk
is connected to a sense of location of the people associated with it. Seen to
be located either in a far off time or a fixed place, a certain purity is
accorded to them. That way of seeing entails a certain attitude of separating
groups of people on the basis of some essential difference they carry.
Language, belonging to this sanctified domain, becomes the repository of a
particular kind of culture.
