Cosmopolitan Cultures and Oceanic Thought Menon Dilip M.
This book imagines the ocean as central to understanding the world and its connections in history, literature and the social sciences. It explores the constant flow of people, material and ideologies across the waters and how they make their presence felt in a cosmopolitan thinking of the connections of the world. Introducing the central conceptual category of ocean as method, it analyzes the histories of movement and traversing across connected spaces of water and land sedimented in literary texts, folklore, local histories, autobiographies, music and performance.
A significant rethinking of Going beyond violent histories of slavery and indenture that generate global connections, it tracks the movements of sailors, boatmen, religious teachers, merchants, and adventurers.The essays in this volume summon up this miscegenated history in which land and water are ever linked.
