South Asian Expressions: Reimagining Narratives, Histories, and Cultures

South Asian literature presents an intricate and layered depiction of the life, history, and identity of the people within their geopolitical spaces of belonging and beyond. These narratives delve into the socio-political complexities, cultural tensions, and resilient identities shaped by colonial legacies and postcolonial realities. Addressing themes such as the impact of British colonialism and the upheavals of national and cultural divisions, this body of literature intricately portrays intersections of gender, caste, religion, and class, capturing the evolving dimensions of South Asian identity.

Philosophy and its Form

Throughout its history, philosophy has appeared in myriad forms: Plato’s dialogues; Montaigne’s Essais; Nietzsche’s aphorisms; Rosa Luxemburg’s Public Lectures; Simone de Beauvoir’s journalism, travelogs, and novels; Aimé Césaire’s dramas; and Fred Moten’s poetry collections. This is before we recognize the variety of styles employed by philosophers within more traditional essay forms: Benjamin’s critical biographies of Baudelaire, Deleuze’s Plateaus, and W. E. B. DuBois’ interpolation of musical passages in The Souls of Black Folk.
