Research Interests

  1. I am interested in exploring the interrelationship between Text and Performance, addressing how a text is translated into performance and vice versa.
  2. I am interested in investigating the concepts of personhood, human and more-than-human interrelationship, within the interdisciplinary framework of literature, performance studies, cultural studies and anthropology.
  3. I am interested in researching and addressing the historical and cultural knowledge-gap created by colonialism and modernism. Some of the research questions are- How does a community, anchored in a predominantly oral tradition, made distant to its indigenous beliefs systems by processes of colonization and modernity, begin to address the cultural dissonances of the past plaguing its present? How can we initiate a process of decolonization of knowledge production in the absence of adequate understanding of a pre-colonial past? If the decolonized wants to write their own histories and address the gaps in their own cultural past, what methodologies can be useful to construct a cultural history from rather scattered sources?
