This is one of the first books in any language on the life and work of Miraji (1912 49) a member of the triumvirate of canonical Urdu poets of the twentieth century. Lyrical Movements Historical Hauntings aims to unravel the paradox of an acclaimed modernist writer whose poems are widely regarded as impossibly difficult to comprehend. It also grapples with the vexed issue of how to speak of a Muslim male poet who wrote under a Hindu woman's name and whom contemporary critics described as mad sexually perverse and a voyeur. Miraji's short life spanned the final period of British colonialism in South Asia and his work played a part in the nationalist struggle. This book locates Miraji's writings in the colonial milieu of his time by linking them to the literary and theoretical concerns of a prior generation of writers. By contextualizing Miraji's life and lyric within a literary history of modernist poetry it suggests new ways of conceiving modernizing nationalisms and their relationship to gender and sexuality. In a manner consistent with Miraji's own poetics the author traces the logic of nationalist discourses in order to identity multiple intersections and possibilities foreclosed in the process of state formation in India and Pakistan. Lyrical Movements Historical Hauntings does more than delineate the construction of a modern Urdu literary canon from the 1920 to the 1940. It teases out the threads that wove Urdu modernism into the global Marxist and progressive literary movements of the time it resituates Miraji as an anticolonial nationalist writer it examines the way critics have played Miraji's life off his work and provides an alternative biography and it presents close readings of some of his most compelling and challenging poems. In the process the author reconceived the relationships among nationalism gender and sexuality. Appendixes offer a rich sampling of new translation of Miraji's poems essays and other prose works. 470 pp.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Risky Bodies and Techno-Intimacy traverses the technologically mediated intimacies that people fashion as they grapple with the radical uncertainties that inhabit their lives. Elusive snarls and double binds dog the everyday. By working with materials salvaged from various genres of science, this provocative, cutting-edge book charts uncommon routes through enigmatic stalemates: political economies of cinematic archives; domesticity; lyrical temporalities; aesthetic mobilisations; and emergent financial forms. Along the way, Patel's poetic, edgy, brutal, and compassionate analyses burrow deep under the skin of habits that we hold dear, habits that breathe us into life even as they clasp us. (jacket).…
