Retelling Time

Retelling Time challenges the hegemony of colonial modernity over academic disciplines and over ways in which we think about something as fundamental as time. It reclaims a bouquet of alternative practices of time from premodern South Asia, which stem from worldviews that have been marginalized. These practices relate to a range of classical and vernacular genres including alaṃkāra , theravāda , yoga , rāmakathā , tasawwuf , āyāraṃga , purāṇa, trikā - tantra , navya-nyāya , pratyabhijñā , carita
