Janu Authors: Jacob, Asha Susan Abstract: The current explosion of lived narratives has necessitated a renewed perception of the canonical concept of expression of the self as a genre. The conventional, patriarchal, western, elitist subject position stands confronted by voicing of the postcolonial, the female, the abject, the surplus, the redundant. Through Janu’s Unfinished Story the paper proposes to establish how the rendering of a tribal woman’s life story becomes a significant slice of the history of Kerala, the state eulogised for it’s unique model of development. The mobilization of the tribal community by an unschooled tribal woman to establish and exercise their rights in a society that brands them as encroachers and primitives, and evidences women’s agency for social change. 2018-12-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/5181 Title: Cultural Revitalization and the Experience of Revival Movement in Mizoram (1906-1937) Authors: Rohmingmawii Abstract: The establishment of colonial rule in Mizoram since 1890 and the advent of Christianity in 1894 marked the beginning of a new era for the Mizos. In a short span of time, the people experienced overwhelming changes which affect all aspects of the Mizo life and turned their ‘world upside down’. Yet, the Mizos refused to be passive observer but assert their resistance through the revival movement that led to the so called ‘indigenization of Christianity’ in Mizoram. Though it was a religious movement, the people’s response swerved it from its primary objective and turned it to a movement which soothe the deep mental longing of the people. It was through the revival movement in Christianity that the Mizos laid their claim for their space in the new politicosocial and cultural set up. 2018-12-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/jspui/handle/123456789/5180 Title: The Narrative Gravity of Weepingsikkim.blogspot.com Authors: Arora, Vibha Abstract: Initiated in June 2007, weepingsikkim is a mediated ‘framed’ cyberspace censored/operated by a blogger/ webmaster(s) in order to narrate a particular perspective and disseminate information about the multi-sited activities and protests enacted by some indigenous people against the proposed and ongoing construction of hydropower projects over River Teesta in Sikkim and North Bengal in India. The activists reiterate emphatically in words and through visual content that they want to cherish and preserve their fragile Himalayan landscape from greedy capitalists. The visual narrative frames and represents the Lepchas as environmentalists and the true custodians of Sikkim’s environment. The blog has functioned as an electronic bulletin board, an online chronicle of the activities, and is subsisting in cyberspace as a multimedia archive about the Teesta movement (2007-09). 2018-12-01T00:00:00Z
