Tithi Bhattacharya Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

Exploring the intersection of folklore and modernity, Bhattacharya examines how Bengali ghosts and their narratives contributed to the formation of the modern Indian nation amidst colonial influences. She highlights the transition from diverse, traditional spirits to homogenized, "scientific" specters that emerged during British rule. By analyzing literature and colonial archives, the author reveals how these changes reinforced the authority of an upper-caste elite and recast Hinduism as integral to national identity, illustrating capitalism's impact on Bengal's cultural landscape.
