{"product_id":"mahabharata-now-arindam-chakrabarti-9781138660113","title":"Mahabharata Now: Narration, Aesthetics, Ethics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eMahabharata \u003c\/i\u003eis at once an archive and a living text, a sourcebook complete by itself and an open text perennially under construction. Driving home this striking contemporary relevance of the famous Indian epic, \u003ci\u003eMahabharata Now \u003c\/i\u003efocuses on the issues of narration, aesthetics and ethics, as also their interlinkages. The cross-disciplinary essays in the volume imaginatively re-interpret the 'timeless' classic in the light of the pre-modern Indian narrative styles, poetics, aesthetic codes, and moral puzzles; the Western theories on modern ethics, aesthetics, metaphysics, psychoanalysis, and philosophy of science; and the contemporary social, ethical and political concerns. The essays are all united in their effort to situate the \u003ci\u003eMahabharata\u003c\/i\u003e in the context of \u003ci\u003ehere \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003enow \u003c\/i\u003ewithout violating the sanctity of the 'written text' as we have it today. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of Indian and comparative philosophy, Indian and comparative literature, cultural studies, and history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arindam Chakrabarti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138660116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138660113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.67d","brand":"Arindam Chakrabarti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48850314461439,"sku":"9781138660113","price":70.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mahabharata-now-arindam-chakrabarti-9781138660113","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
