Sinopsis

Plunging the Ocean engages with the voluminous content of theáKathÄüsaritsÄügara, a text meant for courtly entertainment, locating theávarious points of its retelling. The volume weaves gender as the discursive mesh with various themes such as caste, class, occupations,ácontrol and flow of resources or wealth, religious practices, sexualityáand power structures to highlight the discourse of the text itself. In their creation and negotiation with the past, the narratives are seen as cruciallyádemonstrating the importance of &lsquo,social space&rsquo,âÇÖ in the organizationáof space itself and in the reflection of social relations of production and reproduction. The conclusion highlights the contradictions inherentáin the characters and plots, in the folk antecedents and monarchicaláelite appropriation of the kathÄüs, in conformity and subversion. The structures of power that create systems of knowledge are essentially projected as ominously omnipresent in the &lsquo,Ocean of Stories&rsquo,.
