MESSAGE 4 : Figuring the Past: The Literary and Historical Imagination,
3-5 March 2011, New Delhi
The difference between historian and poet is, according to Aristotle,
that the one describes the thing that has been, and the other a kind of
thing that might be. He sees a clear and evident distinction between a
historian, who describes events and a writer, who invents them. This
distinction has been the subject of debate over the last few decades
with some calling it into question and others looking more closely at
the relationship between the two. The debate has moreover taken place
in the midst of rapid and radical changes brought on by the forces of
globalisation eroding the national frameworks within which literature
and history have for so long been viewed. In the field of history this
has driven efforts to evolve transnational or global perspectives and
to questions about the colonial and imperialist dimensions of much of
modern history. In literary studies this has fuelled the revisiting of
canonical texts to see how they are embedded in and reflect these
dimensions and their impact on the emergence of genres, literary
movements, narrative practices. A further aspect of these new ways of
seeing is the increasingly interdisciplinary practice of cultural
history, the turn to questions of cultural memory, and the focus on
popular culture and popular fiction to provide insights into the
mentalities and anxieties of past ages.
The contemporary boom of the historical novel, a literary genre that
embodies the complex interdependence of history and literature,
underscores the relevance of the debate. Initially emerging as a
vehicle for popularizing national histories, the historical novel
appears today to reflect a very different sense of the world. Its
protagonists seem to be increasingly drawn from the margins of society,
from the subaltern classes. In place of (his)story, we often have
(her)story. And it seems to be less concerned with constructing a
singular identity than with questioning this idea. Are these
observations generally valid? And why this resort to history in times
that exhort us daily to forget the past and focus on the future?
Even as we reflect on the ways in which history and literature figure
the past, our concerns are with the present, and with its no less
compelling conflicts and crises. We invite papers that explore the
interactions of history and literature in the light of these concerns.
Papers focusing on other artistic forms, on film or on related debates
in other disciplines are also welcome.
