Every narrative, however, carries the imprint of the times it was released in. \u003ci\u003eKannagi through the Ages: From the Epic to the Dravidian \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eMovement\u003c\/i\u003e aims to understand the ways in which representations of Kannagi in the epic \u003ci\u003eSilappatikaram\u003c\/i\u003e differ in every new narrative. Looking at the portrayals of Kannagi in plays, commentaries and folk narratives, the book examines how representations of gender and culture have evolved over time. Focusing on the interrelationships between a text and a society as well as between society and the way it moulds the category of 'woman' at different times through symbols and icon, the author analyses the social, cultural and political processes that contributed to the emergence of Kannagi as an icon of Tamil culture and epitome of Tamil womanhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Prabha Rani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9354355315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789354355318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.32w x 1.00d","brand":"Prabha Rani","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072384430335,"sku":"9789354355318","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7fa265c-7c80-412d-8262-b1ee6f7d2db3.jpg?v=1685441640","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kannagi-through-the-ages-prabha-rani-9789354355318","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
