| Abstract | The paper analyses the concept of globalization and modern literature discourse in the works of Pritam Basu, with the year 2019 being the cut-off date. One methodological challenge should be mentioned first, and it is that publicly available pre-2019 corpus of Basu formal, stand-alone critical essays is scarce. That is why, this paper takes a wider and more justifiable approach. It reviews the literature-critical work of Basu published before 2019 in his directly literary-pedagogic text Chhiri-Chhand (2013), in his hybrid book Antyamiler Angane (2019), in the critical discourse contained in his historically oriented prose books like PanchmuRor Panchananmangal (2015) and Chouthupir Charjapad (in circulation by 2018). This paper states that Basu pre-2019 project is highly influenced by the globalization though not in a naive celebration format. Instead of letting the homogenizing global modernity take over the Bengali literary culture, he employs transnational location, self-publication, popular genre, philological curiosity, and linguistic experimentation to reinvigorate the issues of history, script, metre, civilizational memory, and vernacular knowledge. His work exemplifies the ways the current literary discourse in Bengali can react to globalization in terms of recovery, reinvention and circulation, instead of cultural withdrawal. Simultaneously, modern reactions to his work indicate that this project cannot be deemed ideologically unopposed. What Basu writes is, therefore, not merely important, but how he locates Bangladesh literary heritage into a new global contemporary discourse. |
