Book Synopsis Performance and Performativity in Contemporary Indian Fiction in English by : Maria-Sabina Draga Alexandru
Book excerpt: Through a comparison with theatrical performance the argument develops that in both theatre and fiction the concepts of performance and performativity transform classical Indian mythic poetics. In the mythic symbiosis of performance and storytelling in Indian tradition, myth becomes a liberating space of consciousness, where rigid categories and boundaries are transcended.
