Alice Ekka and the question of authenticity in Hindi Adivasi literature
No full textThis paper investigates the question of authenticity developed in the contemporary Adivasi literary discourse in light of some short stories of Alice Ekka, an until recently unknown Adivasi author active in the 1960s. The discovery of this author moves further back in time the beginning of Hindi Adivasi literature, previously believed to have emerged between the 1980s and 1990s following the rise of Dalit literature. As a forerunner, Alice Ekka manifests in her narrative some elements that are peculiar when analyzed in relation to the assumptions made in contemporary literary discourse on Adivasi writing. From her short stories, it becomes clear that besides her Adivasi background, she was also informed by the viewpoint of the educated, middle-class city dweller and drew inspiration without constraint from mainstream literary traditions such as the Hindi Chayavad and English Romanticism. The paper discusses how the presence of such elements contrasts with the assumption of Adivasi “authentic” literature based on Adivasi consciousness and tradition
Armin Kaufmann (1902 - 1980)
No full textDiese Arbeit wurde mit dem Ziel begonnen, ein „Thematisches Werkverzeichnis“ der
Werke Armin Kaufmanns zu erstellen, den Versuch zu unternehmen, ein Bild über
sein Leben zu geben und sein Schaffen aus der Sicht seiner Zeitgenossen zu
beleuchten.
Das Notenmaterial aus dem Nachlass von Armin Kaufmann, das zum Teil in der
Musiksammlung der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek vorliegt, diente als
Grundlage für die Erstellung eines „Thematischen Werkverzeichnisses“. Ein weiterer
Teil befindet sich in dem im Sommer 2009 eröffneten Armin Kaufmann
Dokumentationszentrum im Stift Ossiach in Kärnten; auch diese Quellen fanden
Berücksichtigung. Sämtliche „Incipits“ wurden nicht mechanisch wiedergegeben,
sondern sind vom Verfasser dieser Arbeit persönlich erstellt worden. Dadurch war es
möglich, auf offensichtliche Fehler in den wenigen Takten der Incipits selbst in
gedruckt vorliegenden Werken zu stoßen, auf diese hinzuweisen und in der
Wiedergabe zu berichtigen.
Ein von Frau Leonore Endreß anlässlich des Gedenkens zu Armin Kaufmanns
90. Geburtstag im Jahre 1992 erstelltes Werkverzeichnis nach Opus-Nummern -
erschienen in der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek als „Musikalische
Dokumentation“ – diente als wertvolle Grundlage und ermöglichte es, darauf weitere
„Systematische Werkverzeichnisse“ aufbauen zu können. Falsche Daten, die im Zuge
der Recherchen des Autors dieser Doktorarbeit aufgetaucht sind, wurden gleichzeitig
berichtigt.
Für die Lebensdaten konnte eine bis ins Jahr 1684 zurückreichende Familien-Chronik,
die Frau Elisabeth Kaufmann-Troppina, eine Tochter Armin Kaufmanns, für die
1694
Dokumentation freundlicherweise zur Verfügung gestellt hat, Auskunft geben, weiters
Urkunden, Dokumente und Tagebücher. Auch Gespräche mit Familienangehörigen
dienten zur Aufhellung der Lebensgeschichte Armin Kaufmanns.
Für die Dokumentation der Wiedergabe seiner Werke existiert eine Unmenge von
Programmzetteln, die – soweit zugänglich – in chronologischer Folge Aufnahme
gefunden haben, wobei zumeist nur die bei diesen Veranstaltungen aufgeführten
Werke Armin Kaufmanns angeführt sind. Aus diesen Programmzetteln wurde auch ein
Verzeichnis der Ausführenden erstellt.
Wie die Zeitgenossen – vor allem die „Experten“ - auf die Werke Armin Kaufmanns
reagiert haben, ist aus der Unzahl der wiedergegebenen Rezensionen ersichtlich, die
zumeist auf das Armin Kaufmann Betreffende reduziert sind. Eine Beurteilung dieser
Kritiken bleibt der jeweiligen Leserin bzw. dem jeweiligen Leser überlassen.
Nicht zuletzt haben Auszüge aus den Nachrufen in dieser Arbeit Eingang gefunden.This thesis was started with the aim of compiling a thematic catalogue of Armin Kaufmann’s
work, of collecting a biographical survey of his life and of illustrating his creative work as it
appeared to his contemporaries.
The music material found in the inheritance of Armin Kaufmann is partly available in the
“Musiksammlung der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek” (collection of music belonging to
the Austrian National Library) and served as the basis of the thematic catalogue. Another part
is available in the “Armin Kaufmann Dokumentationszentrum” (Armin Kaufmann
documentation centre) in Stift Ossiach (monastery of Ossiach, Carinthia), which was
inaugurated in summer 2009; these sources have also been considered. All “incipits” were not
just reproduced mechanically but have been produced personally by the author of this thesis.
Thus it was possible to locate obvious mistakes in some beats of the “incipits” – even in
printed works – and to correct them in the reproduction.
A catalogue of his works arranged according to opus numbers, produced in 1992 by
Mrs. Leonore Endreß in commemoration of Armin Kaufmann’s 90th birthday and edited by
the Austrian National Library “Musikalische Dokumentation”, was an important basis for
preparing further systematic catalogues. Incorrect details discovered by the author of this
thesis in the course of his research have also been corrected.
The biographical information was gained from a family chronicle dating back to 1684 that
was kindly placed at my disposal by Mrs. Elisabeth Kaufmann-Troppina, daughter of Armin
Kaufmann, as well as from documents and diaries. Conversations with members of the family
also helped to clear up details of his curriculum vitae.
A great number of concert programmes document the performances of his works. As far as
they were available they have been listed chronologically. From these programmes it was also
possible to compile a catalogue of performers.

How contemporaries, especially experts, reacted to the works of Armin Kaufmann becomes
visible in the great number of critical reviews which, however, have mostly been reduced to
passages concerning Armin Kaufmann. Forming an opinion on these articles is left to the
reader.

Ek duniyā alag sī Narrative strategies and Adivasi representation in the short stories of Vinod Kumar
No full textThis paper investigates the narrative strategies of representation used by the Indian author Vinod Kumar in his literary writing about the life and spaces of the Adivasi. The focal point of this study consists in the fact that the author is a non-Adivasi, thus placing him and his writing in the center of a very much debated issue of Hindi literature i.e. the polarity between the writing through sympathy (Hindi sahānubhūti) and the writing through personal experience (anubhūti). This study-case looks at how the author, being a dikū, an outsider describes the ‘other’ (i.e. the Adivasi). The results show that the author’s representation of the Adivasi, based on a solid empirical knowledge of his ‘other’, contains some elements of romanticism revealing both his outsideness and a strong empathy for the ‘other’.Masteruppsats i indologi 2019</p

Peter Paul Ekka
No full textThis article discusses some short stories by Peter Paul Ekka, an Adivasi author from Jharkhand. Initially, it aims to demonstrate how – through the use of romantic and stereotypical descriptions – the Adivasi characters emerge as ‘others’ in relation to non-Adivasis as well as to the author himself. This urges us to further discuss and problematise the Adivasi/non-Adivasi binary. Thus, the article challenges the notion of cultural ‘otherness’ based solely on cultural terms and, specifically, on membership in certain groups that arises in contemporary forms of identity politics and in relation to marginal/subaltern literatures. Finally, the article expands its critique by referring to some foundational texts of postcolonial theory that, despite their authors’ intentions, have been absorbed into the call for subjectivity and rigid readings of culture that underpin the kind of identity politics that is mentioned and criticised here
‘Offensive’ writing: Sex and prostitution in the works by Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar
No full textThis article considers some works by the Santhal author Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar in light of the fierce critiques they attracted. Against the accusation of pornographic and offensive writing, I maintain not only that the criticism Shekhar’s works received is unjustified (something that has also been claimed by others), but also that it is symptomatic of a mood with its roots in the West that has spread all over the world. I argue that behind this kind of criticism lies the imposition of identity politics on literary works on one side, and the contemporary concern with political correctness on the other. Further, I also show that despite the progressive agenda such a criticism wants to represent and defend, it ends up producing regressive implications. Shekhar’s case appears thus to be particularly enlightening in showing the limits of identity politics and political correctness in literary criticism
