If you have a question about this talk, please contact Barbara Roe. Pre-1857 non-mystical Urdu poetry by multilingual poets like Rangin, Insha, Qais, Nisbat and Jur¹at reveals an urban culture bearing markers of an indigenous modernity, such as celebration of hybridities, individuality, consumerism, gender and sexual fluidity, unconventionalrelationships and women who challenge social convention. This self-reflexive poetry in the voices of women and men from a wide range of class backgrounds is playful but profound, humorous and defiant all at once. This talk is part of the Centre of South Asian Studies Seminars series. This talk is included in these lists:
