Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In Doing Style, Constantine V. Nakassis explores the world of youth and mass media in South India, where what Tamil youth call ?style? anchors their day-to-day lives and media worlds. Through intimate ethnographic descriptions of college life in Tamil Nadu, Nakassis explores the complex ways that acts and objects of style such as brand fashion, English slang, and film representations express the multiple desires and anxieties of this generation, who live in the shadow of the promise of global modernity.             As Nakassis shows, while signs of the global, modern world are everywhere in post-liberalization India, for most of these young people this world is still very distant?a paradox that results in youth?s profound sense of being in between. This in-betweenness manifests itself in the ambivalent quality of style, the ways in which stylish objects are necessarily marked as counterfeit, mixed, or ironical. In order to show how this in-betweenness materializes in particular media, Nakassis explores the entanglements between youth peer groups and the sites where such stylish media objects are produced, arguing that these entanglements deeply condition the production and circulation of the media objects themselves. The result is an important and timely look at the tremendous forces of youth culture, globalization, and mass media as they interact in the vibrancy of a rapidly changing India.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Throughout history, speech and storytelling have united communities and mobilized movements. Protestant Textuality and the Tamil Modern examines this phenomenon in Tamil-speaking South India over the last three centuries, charting the development of political oratory and its influence on society. Supplementing his narrative with thorough archival work, Bernard Bate begins with Protestant missionaries' introduction of the sermonic genre and takes the reader through its local vernacularization. What originally began as a format of religious speech became an essential political infrastructure used to galvanize support for new social imaginaries, from Indian independence to Tamil nationalism. Completed by a team of Bate's colleagues, this ethnography marries linguistic anthropology to performance studies and political history, illuminating new geographies of belonging in the modern era.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Tamil is one of the longest continuous written traditions of any language in the world. It is also very much a language of the modern worldan official language in three countries, and a recognised minority language in several others that is used across a variety of domains, from education to media to religious practice, literature, everyday talk, and beyond. To engage with Tamil and its culture, in all their dimensions is, therefore, to grapple with social, political, religious, literary, and performative traditions of remarkable depth, nuance and complexity. The Chicago Tamil Forum, an annual workshop at the University of Chicago that brings together international scholars of Tamil language, culture, and history, began in 2014 to advance exciting new approaches to understanding Tamil and the Tamil-speaking world. This volume collects sixteen papers presented at the Forum between 2014 and 2023, which together seek to understand Tamil as a site of politics and power, to explore Tamil language and literature as a medium of social life, and to unravel the dynamics of Tamil within a changing media landscape. The chapters explore a wide range of topics, from studies of poetics, literature and lexicography to language politics, caste and political identity; from populist politics and filmic stardom to theatrical adaption and early modern temple murals. Offering diverse perspectives on South India and disciplinary approaches to studying it, this volume refines and redefines the field of Tamil Studies. It will be of interest to scholars of South India as well as to South Asianists of all stripes. …
