| 要約: | A socio-literary theory achieves coherence by running a complex abstraction of human
experiences through a philosophical prism. Its internal consistency is derived both from the
universal legitimacy bestowed by its audience, as well as the mathematical precision of its logic.
Critical Theory, with its foundational claims to an emancipatory politics, thus derives part of its
legitimacy from its promises of a moral and ethical future. Here, the plurality of experiences
disrupts the objective and distanced abstraction with an invested, particular engagement. The
context of this paper is provided by a battle over the right to represent/mediate political
modernity in Kerala. I focus on two Adivasi self-representations which challenge the identity strait-jackets projected on to the Adivasis and attempt to refashion and recreate their identities,
politically as well as culturally, on the basis of their lived experience. |
