Contestation and Compliance: Retrieving Women's 'Agency' from Puranic Traditions By Jaya Tyagi
2014 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0199451826 | PDF | 5 MB
This book is a study of the shifts in historical context of ritual observances from Vedic to Puranic traditions. It looks into the representations of women in early textual traditions to explore how women's identities are not only established in ritual spaces but are also constantly reworkedand negotiated. It is in this context that this book attempts to're-read' the Matsyamahapurana and through the study of vratas and myths, reconstruct the anxieties that theological traditions have with regard to women and women's responses to these anxieties. Patriarchal traditions have neverremained frozen, they constantly reinvent themselves to deal with the negotiations and contestations that women make. It is these very traditions then, which, when read carefully, tell us about women and the challenges that they constantly put to theological traditions. The book will revise ourunderstanding of later Vedic and Puranic texts as well as provide a deeper understanding of the gender roles that evolved during this time period.
