About the Book: Uneasy Translations Self: Experience and Indian Literature
Uneasy Translations: Self, Experience and Indian Literature interweaves the
personal journey of an academic into reflections around self, language and
translation with an eye on the intangibly available category of experience. It
dwells on quieter modes of being political, of making knowledge democratic and
of seeing gendered language in the everyday. In an unusual combination of
real-life incidents and textual examples, it provides a palimpsest of what it is
to be in a classroom; in the domestic sphere, straddling the manyness of
language and, of course, in a constant mode of translation that remains
incomplete and unconcluded.
