Description
In this scholarly work, Bhavatosh IndraGuru explores the nature of action in Indian and Western narratives, emphasizing the distinct perspectives of both traditions. The book analyzes how action is perceived and presented in key texts from each tradition, focusing on the dichotomy between the reversible action in Indian narratives and the irreversible action in European ones.
The volume delves into classic Indian works such as Pancatantra, Hitopadesha, Jatakakathavali, Kathasaritsagara, Baital Paccisi, and Simhasana Battisi, and compares them with Western narratives like Aesop's Fables, The Canterbury Tales, Legends of King Arthur, The Decameron, and The Pilgrim's Progress. These comparisons serve to highlight the cultural and philosophical differences in the conceptualization of action and its consequences.
The book aims to build a foundation for a theory of meaning in relation to action, by discussing the instruments of transformation in narratives, such as conjunction, injunction, conception, and inception. Through a detailed examination of the interactions between these cultural texts, the author presents a theoretical effort to understand how the progression of action shapes meaning in ancient narratives from both traditions.
