"South Asian literature": research-related question
Amardeep Singh
I have some questions for you -- sort of a mini-survey -- pertaining
to an essay I'm writing on the "state of South Asian literary
studies." If you know of people who teach & write on South Asian
literature, but who are not SALA members, I would be VERY grateful if
you could forward this message to them as well.
Please answer whichever questions you feel like, and feel free to
ignore the others. (This is not a scientific survey ;-)
1. Do you teach courses exclusively on South Asian literature on a
regular basis? (Or are your South Asian authors generally folded into
courses on "postcolonial," "world," or "global" literature?)
2. Either way, could you send me (off list) the titles of courses that
in some way involve South Asian authors, and the names of some
books/authors you've taught recently.
3. How often do you teach South Asian literature in translation (i.e.,
from Bengali, Hindi, Kannada, etc.)?
4. Are any South Asian languages taught at the institution where you
teach/study?
5. What journals do you know of that specialize in South Asian
literature? (The ones I know are South Asian Review and the Annual of
Urdu Studies)
6. What journals would you go to if you wanted to publish an essay on
a South Asian author or a topic specifically related to South Asian
literature?
7. What publishers might you go to if you had a book manuscript on a
specifically South Asian literature theme? What is a recent title from
that press on South Asian literature?
Thanks in advance!
Amardeep
