Fighting with a Smile: Satirical and Humourist Voices of Resilience from Hindi Speaking Subaltern Subjects and Communities

Descripción del proyecto

Desvelar la sátira y el humor hindi

En el paisaje de la cultura contemporánea hindi, la sátira y el humor desempeñan papeles importantes, sirviendo a menudo como poderosas herramientas de disidencia y resiliencia. Sin embargo, las voces de las comunidades subalternas y marginadas en este ámbito siguen estando en gran medida inexploradas. Con el apoyo de las acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, el equipo del proyecto FISM constituye la primera investigación sobre la sátira y el humor hindi, ahondando en sus diversas formas y repercusiones sociales. En concreto, el equipo de FISM examina las contribuciones literarias, como la sátira pionera de Surya Bala, junto con expresiones escénicas en actos como los Hasya kavi sammelans y las modernas plataformas mediáticas. Al amplificar las voces marginadas (adivasi, dalit, LGBTQIA+ y mujeres), el equipo del proyecto impulsa la resiliencia colectiva en la India contemporánea.

Objetivo

The project aims to be the first attempt at investigating the forms, uses and functions of Hindi contemporary humour (hasya) and satire (vyangya). By moving towards this direction, it will focus especially on the connection of Hindi satire with the claims by the subaltern and marginalized subjects and communities of Hindi contemporary public sphere. It must be outlined that the terms subaltern and marginalized will refer not only to the Adivasi - framed by Indian constitution as the 'tribals' of India - and to the Dalit - better known as the 'outcaste'
people - but also to the LGBTQIA+ and to the discriminated women in India. In the light of the above, the main objective of the
research is to shed light on the narratives of dissent pursued by these subjects and communities. It will also analyse the contribution
of Hindi satirists and humourists to specific socio-cultural and political claims and initiatives. Finally, it will investigate the use of satire and humour as a personal and collective forms of resilience. To achieve these set goals, the project surveys in a interdisciplinary way many fields in which satire can be detected. Primarily, it focuses on the use of satire in Hindi contemporary literature. In this field the research highlights the contribution of Surya Bala, usually deemed as the first Hindi woman literary satirist. Other less famous marginalized literary contemporary satirists will be equally taken into consideration. Moreover, it must be stressed that, apart from the literary side of satire, the project will investigate also the 'life' beyond literature of satire. In this field, it will focus primarily on the performative uses of satire and humour during the Hasya kavi sammelan (Meeting of humorist poets) which are usually held in many parts of North-India and the shows by stand-up comedians.Other less known performative uses of satire will be taken into consideration. The research will also outline the uses of satire and humour on new media.
