Book Synopsis Reamker (Rāmakerti) by :
Download or read book Reamker (Rāmakerti) written by . This book was released on 1986. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cambodian epic poem, based on the Sanskrit's Ramayana epic. The name means "Glory of Rama". It adapts the Hindu ideas to Buddhist themes and shows the balance of good and evil in the world. Like the Ramayana, it is a philosophical allegory, exploring the ideals of justice and fidelity as embodied by the protagonists, Prince Rama and Queen Sita. The epic is well known among the Khmer people for its portrayal in Khmer dance theatre, called the L'khaon, in various festivals across Cambodia. Scenes from the Reamker are painted on the walls of the Royal Palace in Khmer style, and its predecessor is carved into the walls of the Angkor Wat and Banteay Srei temples. It is considered an integral part of Cambodian culture.

Book Synopsis Retelling the Ramayana by : Si. En Śr̲īkanṭhannāyar
Download or read book Retelling the Ramayana written by Si. En Śr̲īkanṭhannāyar. This book was released on 2005. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "More than any other sacred text, the Ramayana has been interpreted as a blueprint for right human action. Of the innumerable Ramayanas composed, the most prestigious is Valmiki's text." "Across several cultures though, refashioning and retelling Valmiki's influential and patriarchal epic has become a way of literary dissent in the grand tradition of Indian self-questioning." "Two such voices from Kerala, included here, showcase the sophisticated cultural diversity of the region. C. N. Sreekantan Nair's play Kanchana Sita (1961), is about the tragedy of power, and the sacrifices that adherence to dharma demands, including abandoning a chaste wife." "Sarah Joseph's Ramayana Stories (1990s) are feminist critiques of traditional narratives of women humiliated and torn apart - both psychologically and physically - by ambitious men. Joseph's style is layered and poetic, deep and intense. Both Nair and Joseph bring out the political aspects of these stories through the dialectics between victor and vanquished, man and woman, tribal and city dweller, Aryan and Dravidian."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis The Multivalence of an Epic by : Parul Pandya Dhar
Download or read book The Multivalence of an Epic written by Parul Pandya Dhar. This book was released on 2023-10-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines The Rāmāyaṇa traditions of South India and Southeast Asia. Bringing together 19 well-known scholars in Rāmāyaṇa studies from Cambodia, Canada, France, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, UK, and USA, this thought-provoking and elegantly illustrated volume engages with the inherent plurality, diversity, and adaptability of the Rāmāyaṇa in changing socio-political, religious, and cultural contexts. The journey and localization of the Rāmāyaṇa is explored in its manifold expressions – from classical to folk, from temples and palaces to theatres and by-lanes in cities and villages, and from ancient to modern times. Regional Rāmāyaṇas from different parts of South India and Southeast Asia are placed in deliberate juxtaposition to enable a historically informed discussion of their connected pasts across land and seas. The three parts of this volume, organized as visual, literary, and performance cultures, discuss the sculpted, painted, inscribed, written, recited, and performed Rāmāyaṇas. A related emphasis is on the way boundaries of medium and genre have been crossed in the visual, literary, and performed representations of the Rāmāyaṇa.
