Free Download Kumkum Roy, "Beyond the Women in Question: Reconstructing Gendered Identities in Early India"
English | ISBN: 9384092789 | 2017 | 184 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Beyond the ‘Woman Question’ both revisits and interrogates some of the central tenets of the ‘woman question’ as it emerged in colonial India and shaped (and continues to shape) subsequent historiography. These include issues of women’s access to resources, ritual ‘rights’, and locations within the family, primarily relating to an unmarked category of upper-caste/class women. In terms of chronology, the essays range from the mid-first millennium BCE to the turn of the first/ second millennium CE. Spatially, they deal with regions as diverse as Kashmir, and parts of north and central India. Using a wide range of sources-inscriptional and visual as well as normative and narrative texts-this book contends that gender identities were not monolithic, even as elite women seem to be the most visible/accessible. The issues explored include participation in gift exchanges and their economic, social, political and cultural significance; the construction of gender identities through rituals; and the representation of gender relations in literary traditions. Collectively, the volume contributes to the growing body of historical research on gender relations in early India.

Free Download Ute Hüsken, "Gendered Agency in Transcultural Hinduism and Buddhism "
English | ISBN: 1032559330 | 2024 | 292 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Focusing on complex entanglements of religion and gender from a diversity of perspectives, this book explores how women enact agencies in transcultural Hindu and Buddhist settings. The chapters draw on original, in-depth empirical research in various contexts in South Asian religious traditions. Today, in an increasing number of such contexts, women are able to undergo monastic and priestly education, receive ordination/initiation as nuns and priestesses, and are accepted as ascetic religious leaders. They are starting to establish new religious communities within conservative traditions, occupying religious leadership positions on par with men. This volume considers the historical background, contemporary trajectories, and potential impact of the emergence of these new and powerful female agencies in conservative South Asian religious traditions. It will be of particular interest to scholars of religion, women’s and gender studies, and South Asian studies.
