In doing so, it provides a new angle to the understanding of nationalism by looking at the popular support and participation of ordinary people in the construction of Mizo nationalism, in short, the vernacularisation of nationalism. The book examines this process of vernacularisation at two levels, the first concerns the process of creating a vernacular language to express nationalist ideas and second, the irrepressibility of the oral against state's violent response to the nationalist movement. Drawing from multiple sources, the book through the rich oral narratives, archival materials, including government and media reports shows how Mizos have remained active agents in asserting and claiming their rights to defining ideas of nationalism in their own terms by making it distinctively Mizo.

Hauser, "Vernacular Voices: The Rhetoric of Publics and Public Spheres " English | ISBN: 1643362852 | 2022 | 362 pages | PDF | 75 MB An award-winning study of how formal and informal public discourse shapes opinions  The Rumour of Globalisation: Desecrating the Global from Vernacular Margins By Bhaskar Mukhopadhyay 2013 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 1849041415 | PDF | 5 MB Drawing from recent theories of virtuality, performativity, and governmentality, and on post-colonial activist scholarship from the global south, this book presents a series of ethnographic and archival studies of what Mukhopadhyay terms 'vernacular globalisation' in India. The book's six provocative but substantive chapters of the book engage a wide range of events, objects, histories, narratives and episodes with the intent of interrogating what Franz Fanon called the 'zone of occult instability where the people dwell.' these chapters recount tales of quotidian commodity fetishism of rural cargo cults thriving on bazaar rumours about Chinese dumping in communist Calcutta, signpost desi cyberporn showcasing 'fat aunties' and Gandhi, dig deep into Indo-Persian travelogues about england and women's travel narratives to Japan embodying local traditions of cosmopolitanism, interrogate folk scroll paintings about 9/11 in the art historical mode and seek to uncover vernacular civic traditions of urbanism through an analysis of grotty slum photographs. The Rumour of Globlization presents facades of vernacular india negotiating globalising forces through a distinctive style of ethnography (fabulation) which is sensitive to subaltern political aspirations while maintaining a broad commitment to Marxist theory, Subaltern Studies scholarship and post-structuralist theory.  Vernacular English: Reading the Anglophone in Postcolonial India By Akshya Saxena 2022 | 232 Pages | ISBN: 0691223130 | PDF | 6 MB How English has become a language of the people in India―one that enables the state but also empowers protests against itAgainst a groundswell of critiques of global English, Vernacular English argues that literary studies are yet to confront the true political import of the English language in the world today. A comparative study of three centuries of English literature and media in India, this original and provocative book tells the story of English in India as a tale not of imperial coercion, but of a people's language in a postcolonial democracy.Focusing on experiences of hearing, touching, remembering, speaking, and seeing English, Akshya Saxena delves into a previously unexplored body of texts from English and Hindi literature, law, film, visual art, and public protests. She reveals little-known debates and practices that have shaped the meanings of English in India and the Anglophone world, including the overlooked history of the legislation of English in India. She also calls attention to how low castes and minority ethnic groups have routinely used this elite language to protest the Indian state.Challenging prevailing conceptions of English as a vernacular and global lingua franca, Vernacular English does nothing less than reimagine what a language is and the categories used to analyze it. |
