Abstract:

A noteworthy novelist and author of many children books, Shashi Deshpande, has acquired a unique place in Indian writing in English. Her novels are written in simple and lucid language. All of them deal with simple people belonging to small strata of society in general as well as predicament of women in particular in the society and family. Her women characters seem to be alive and breathing in the surrounding nearby each of us as we see in our daily life. They are ordinary women who struggle for their own identity, self-realization and emancipation. Since Indian society is adhered to patriarchal set up, as a result the traditional women in Shashi Deshpande’s novels face the problem of suppression, oppression, injustice, exploitation and marginalization. Even if they are educated, they are the victims of several kinds of evils. Shashi Deshpande is much sieved to think the condition of women and fought for the cause of women. In the time of Shashi Deshpande men thought women as child-bearing machine. She tries her best to make aware her women their rights and fills them with courage in order they may demand their rights and make a niche in the society.

Abstract:

Shashi Deshpande focuses the need of human beings of present generation to be optimistic in the fast moving planetary as human life across the world is turning bleak time and again.

Shashi Deshpande does a complete analysis on the rational thinking process of human beings to create happiness and to experience the power of one’s creation in this cosmic. Through her characters, Shashi Deshpande makes the readers understand that to enhance and empower their role in life, they must learn to unlearn negative thoughts and fill their minds with positive thoughts.

Abstract:

Shashi Deshpande’s novel “The Dark Holds No Terrors” explores themes related to feminine sensibility and self-affirmation in the context of a woman’s life.Fictional works by Shashi Deshpande depict the struggles of Indian women and build a world from the perspective of feminists. Her story presentations in That Long Silence are very real, thanks to the emotional identification and validation of self-anguishing via their difficulties. She stands in for the feminist longing for India’s rich cultural heritage and traditional practices that these women feel. She admits her fictitious art world was lacking strength and significance due to a lack of understanding of Indian women’s inner lives. Deshpande disrupts the typical matrix of ‘home and homelessness’ in the galaxy of feminist fiction by creating different narrative patterns that give her feminist protagonists adequate freedom to show their repressed sense for their motherland. Aside from the characters’ sentimentality, she promotes local sensibility via poetry, performances, ethics, and ethnic arts. In her narrative work, she has come to terms with the paradigms and commitments.

Abstract:

Apres l'independance de l'inde, le roman feminin indien s'est peu a peu detache de l'influence des deux traditions patriarcales qu'il avait subi : la britannique par la colonisation et celle ancestrale contenue dans la mythologie hindoue. L'evolution du roman feminin n'a pas ete facile comme nous avons essaye de le montrer a travers les romans etudies. Nous avons pris pour cela quatre romancieresrepresentatives des phases de son evolution. Nous avons montre qu'avec la premiere des romancieres, kamala markandaya, l'influence patriarcale contenue dans les discours mythologiques, ainsi que dans le discours nationaliste de la periode etait difficile a surmonter pour la femme, faisant des efforts de markandaya a donner une image positive de la condition feminine indienne un echec. Nous avons ensuite montre que le repli de l'inde sur ellememe pour retrouver son identite, a coincide avec la recherche identitaire de la femme, donnant au roman feminin de cette periode un aspect introspectif et torture. Cependant, anita desai qui represente cette deuxieme phase, annonce l'arrivee de la subversion des mythes patriarcaux a travers une conscience feminine qui cherche a s'affirmer. Ce n'est qu'avec shashi deshpande et githa hariharan, representantes de la troisieme phase, que la subversion est renforcee et rendue efficace par la proposition de solutions alternatives et positives pour la femme. Nous avons conclu qu'apres des debuts difficiles le roman feminin indien a pu se detacher et murir suffisamment pour proposer des solutions ancrees dans la realite de la culture indienne, pour que la femme puisse etre un individu entier, libre des repressions qui l'entravaient dans la realisation de ses aspirations, sans contenir l'alienation que provoquait le modele propose par les reformateurs du debut du siecle.

Abstract:

@Quelle image de la femme indienne se dégage de ces écrits? A quelles techniques littéraires ces romancières ont-elles recours pour débattre des questions liées au statut de la femme ? En conjuguant méthodologie indocentrique et narratologie occidentale, cette thèse entend montrer que ces romans, choisis plutôt pour la féminité des auteurs et personnages centraux qu'en raison de leur intérêt pour le féminisme, révèlent, par leur utilisation de l'allégorie et du mythe, comment des romancières de l'époque postcoloniale défient des siècles de domination patriarcale. Ces écrivains relisent du point de vue de la femme les mythes créés par les hommes pour justifier leur supériorité. Les protagonistes des romans inversent les positions de pouvoir en brisant le mythe de Sita pour finalement se situer en dehors du moule qu'il impose. Une différence majeure entre les féministes indiennes et occidentales se dégage : alors que les héroi͏̈nes occidentalisées et bourgeoises de ces romans entendent négocier leur libération des contraintes de la tradition, elles ne veulent pas briser le continuum social indien dans leur quête d'individuation. Les trois sections de la thèses, ordre, désordre, nouvel ordre, reflètent la spirale ascendante qui traduit le progrès accompli par les personnages féminins lorsqu'ils franchissent le seuil des contraintes qui les marginalisent et les jettent dans l'instabilité. Ce progrès, né de leur exploration des espaces situés au-delà des frontières qui leur sont imparties, devient la dynamique de déconstruction des normes patriarcales
@What is the image of Indian women that emerges in these writings? What are the literary techniques exploited by the writers to discuss the issues related to the status of women? By fusing an Indocentric methodology with Western approaches to narratology the thesis shows that the novels, selected on the basis of gender rather than their feminist concerns, reveal, through the use of allegory and myth, how centuries of patriarchal dominance in Indian women's lives are being challenged by women in the post-colonial era. The writers create new myths to replace male-oriented ones by narrating them from a woman's viewpoint. The protagonists of the novels reverse the position of power as they break out of the myth of the Sita-mould. A significant difference between the Indian and Western feminsit emerges : while the novels' Western-educated, middle-class protagonists are willing to negociate their liberation from the hold of tradition, they are unwilling to break the Indian social continuum in their quest for indivuation. The three sections of the thesis, order, disorder and reorder, reflect the upward spiral that gathers momentum in the progress that the female characters make in moving beyond the threshold of marginalizing limitations. The subsequent instability as they explore hitherto out-of-bound spaces becomes the impetus that deconstructs the stability within patriarchal norms

Abstract:

La présente recherche essaie de cerner l'idéologie de gender transmise à travers les images littéraires de 4 romancières hindoues de langue anglaise : Kamala Markandaya, Anita Desai, Shashi Desphande et Bharati Mukherjee. Puisqu'il s'agit d'une littérature féminine, issue de la colonisation et enracinée dans une tradition patriarcale, il faut d'abord comprendre d'une part, le contexte historique du roman indo-anglais et d'autre, le contexte sociologique de la femme et du personnage féminin. Par conséquent, nous analysons l'impact de la colonisation britannique et de la modernité sur la culture indienne ainsi que les bouleversements dramatiques qui ont particulièrement déterminé la figure de l'hindoue, socle de la culture indienne et garante de sa continuité. Ensuite, vu que la tradition hindoue est imprégnée d'une mythologie millénaire, nous étudions le rôle fondamental que déesses, telles que Kali, et héroi͏̈nes épiques, comme Sita, jouent dans la construction de l'image du féminin hindou. Kali et Sita sont en effet des symboles d'un féminin divisé traditionnellemnt entre un côté destructeur, donc négatif, et un autre bienveillant, donc positif. Les romancières indo-anglaises utilisent souvent ces deux mythes comme repères pour articuler leur définition de la "femme". En faisant référence à Kali et à Sita dans la représentation littéraire de l'hindoue ces romancières ont pour but, par la transmission même des mythes de leur culture, de reformuler l'idéologie patriarcale de gender
The research aims at identifying the gender ideology transmitted by the literary images of four Hindu women writers in English : Kamala Markandaya, Anita Desai, Shashi Deshpande and Bharati Mukherjee. Because we are dealing with a literature by women, product of a colonial encounter but rooted at the same time in the Hindu tradition, we are compelled to understand the historic context of te Indo-English literature as well as the sociological context of the Hindu female protagonist. Therefore, we analyse the impact of the British colonisation and modernity on the Indian culture to point out the dramatic convulsions which has shaken particularly the Hindu woman, symbol of the culture and responsible for its continuity. Given the fact that the Hindu tradition is pervaded by an ancient mythology, we will study the crucial role played by goddesses, such as Kali, and epic heroines, such as Sita, in the cultural construction of "Hindu woman". Both myths are interpreted as symbols of a feminine divided between a negative/destructive side, Kali, and a positive/benevolent one, Sita. The Indo-English women writers use the references to Kali and Sita in the literary representations of the Hindo-woman as a vehicle to articulate their vision of gender. Their new readings, reveal the engagement of those authors in a new formulation of the ideologie of gender, continuing at the same time with the cultural transmission of myths
