Hardcover. Zustand: New. Knowledge germinates in the fields of imagination. Even truth to be accepted as truth need to correlate with the collective imagination. Those who control imagination have the power to shape the worldview. Women s participation in the imaginative creations has been the basic question of the debate on their share in cultural practices, economic resources and power. This volume takes this debate forward in relation to Indian texts and contexts in 21st century. The present century is a century of paradoxes as far as the female lived-world is concerned. On the one hand she is experimenting with her recently discovered freedom of thought and action, on the other, she is still shackled in the age-old cultural practices in which she is viewed as inferior to the male, and is subjected to all kinds of violence and marginalities. The chapters in this volume discuss the emerging trends in the female narratives in genres like poetry, drama, fiction, fantasy, science fiction, social media, film, television advertisements etc.
