Oral Tradition A Study in Historical Methodology

Oral Tradition A Study in Historical Methodology

Oral traditions are historical sources of a special nature. Their special nature derives from the fact that they are unwritten sources couched in a form suitable for oral transmission and that their preservation depends on the powers of memory of successive generations of human beings. In many parts of the world inhabited by peoples without writing oral tradition forms the main available source for a reconstruction of the past. Do the special characteristics of oral traditions u unwritten information dependent on the memory of successive generations u invalidate them as sources of historical data? If not are there means for testing their reliability? Professor Vansina shows in Oral Tradition that with knowledge of the language and of the society the anthropologist and historian can extract or deduce the historical content of oral testimonies. Based on the author's many years of fieldwork in Africa this definitive work explores the possibility of reconstructing the history of non-literate peoples from their oral traditions surveys existing literature offers a typology of oral traditions and evaluates methods of collection and interpretation. On first publication Daniel McCall in the American Anthropologist called Oral Tradition a tour de force. Indeed this may well be the most significant work written on the relation of oral tradition to history in thirty yearsafor any field worker who intends to collect oral traditions this work is indispensable. | Oral Tradition A Study in Historical Methodology

Migration and Identity

The theme of Migration and Identity is of special concern at a time both of massive worldwide migration and of apparently intensifying national ethnic and racial conflicts. Problems of migration and the resulting reconfigurations of social identity are fundamental issues for the twenty-first century. This volume spans the whole complex global web of migratory patterns with contributions linking Africa Asia Australia Europe North and South America without losing the particularities of local and personal experience. This paperback edition in the Memory and Narrative series explores these issues and the sustaining or abandoning of memory and identity as people move between fundamentally different cultures in a number of recent social settings from a number of methodological perspectives. These focused case studies offer glimpses into the interior migration experiences into the processes of constructing and reconstructing identity without forgetting that both theoretically and empirically the problem of identity is complex and multifaceted. All of the essays rely heavily on oral history and personal testimony highlighting the experience of individuals and small groups without ignoring the tension that exists between the local and the global. Memories of oppression or totalitarianism are one of the driving forces behind some of these migrations; and the transmission of memories and myths between family generations is one of the ways in which migrations are interpreted. In looking both backward and forward Migration and Identity offers an acute view of migratory patterns and their impact on the newcomers and the local cultures. It will be of interest to cultural and oral historians and researchers of concerned with migration and integration.

Colonial Authority and Tamiḻ Scholarship A Study of the First English Translations

Colonial Authority and Tamiḻ Scholarship A Study of the First English Translations

This book—an English translation of a key Tamiḻ book of literary and cultural criticism—looks at the construction of Tamiḻ scholarship through the colonial approach to Tamiḻ literature as evidenced in the first translations into English. The Tamiḻ original Atikāramum tamiḻp pulamaiyum: Tamiḻiliruntu mutal āṅkila moḻipeyarppukaḷ by N Govindarajan is a critique of the early attempts at the translations of Tamiḻ literary texts by East India Company officials specifically by N E Kindersley. Kindersley who was working as the Collector of South Arcot district in the late eighteenth century was the first colonial officer to translate the Tamiḻ classic Tirukkuṟaḷ and the story of King Naḷa into English and to bring to the reading public in English the vibrant oral narrative tradition in Tamiḻ. F W Ellis in the nineteenth century brought in another dimension through his translation of the same classic. The book thus focuses on the attempts to translate the Tamiḻ literary works by the Company’s officials who emerged as the pioneering English Dravidianists and the impact of translations on the Tamiḻ reading community. Theoretically grounded the book makes use of contemporary perspectives to examine colonial interventions and the operation of power relations in the literary and socio-cultural spheres. It combines both critical readings of past translations and intensive research work on Tamiḻ scholarship to locate the practice of literary works in South Asia and its colonial history which then enables a conversation between Indian literary cultures. In this book the author has not only explored all key scholarly sources as well as the commentaries that were used by the colonial officials chiefly Kindersley but also gives us an insightful critique of the Tamiḻ works. The highlight of the discussion of Dravidian Orientalism in this book is the intralinguistic opposition of the “mainstream” Tamiḻ literature in “correct/poetical” Tamiḻ and the folk literature in “vacana” Tamiḻ. This framework allows the translators to critically engage with the work. Annotated and with an Introduction and a Glossary this translated work is a valuable addition to our reading of colonial South India. The book will be of interest to researchers of Tamiḻ Studies Orientalism and Indology translation studies oral literature linguistics South Asian Studies Dravidian Studies and colonial history. | Colonial Authority and Tamiḻ Scholarship A Study of the First English Translations
