505 0 A modernity that is not one -- Meanwhile, in Indian
standard time -- Mythologising the quotidian -- Typing the
minutes -- Violent separation, violent fusion --
Unimagined communities -- Two versions of Sans Souci --
Writing home -- The aquatic ideal -- Desire and domestic
fiction -- Still postcolonial after all these years.
520 8 Genres of Modernity maps the conjunctures of critical
theory and literary production in contemporary India. The
volume situates a sample of representative novels in the
discursive environment of the ongoing critical debate on
modernity in India, and offers for the first time a
rigorous attempt to hold together the stimulating impulses
of postcolonial theory, subaltern studies and the boom of
Indian fiction in English. In opposition to the entrenched
narrative of modernity as a single, universally valid
formation originating in the West, the theoretical and
literary texts under discussion engage in a shared project
of refiguring the present as a site of heterogeneous
genres of modernity. The book traces these figurative
efforts with particular attention to the treatment of two
privileged metonymies of modernity: the issues of time and
home in Indian fiction. Combining close readings of
literary texts from Salman Rushdie to Kiran Nagarkar with
a wide range of philosophical, sociological and
historiographic reflections, Genres of Modernity is of
interest not only for students of postcolonial literatures
but for academics in the fields of Cultural Studies at
large. Content Introduction Encountering Indian Novels in
