India: A Literary Journey

Nadia Aldunate, Borja Hernández and María José Beltramo, students of Degree in Philology , LEC + speech Audiovisual and International Office + History, respectively, take us to India with this literary podcast. We also have partnership by Marta Moledo, a student of Philology Hispánica, who has illustrated this chapter in a personalised and symbolic way. Are you ready to travel through the airwaves?

 

Have you ever wondered what they read in India, what is their literary culture, what influence is hidden in their more than 5 millennia of history? We will try to give an answer through these students' analysis of three contemporary Indian works.

Its independence from the United Kingdom brought about a cultural, social and political revolution. Freedom was reflected in all areas, including literature, where narrative, the novel and the short story were the main literary genres.

Midnight's Children, The White Tiger y Twelve Bengali poets are the three works you are going to listen to in this literary podcast. The magical realism reminiscent of the works of Gabriel García Márquez, the social criticism characteristic of Dickens' literature and the free verse poetry are some of the characteristics that stand out in their analysis. All these elements are reflected in the illustration that accompanies the podcast: the children, the night, the tiger and the beauty of the simple. A perfect combination of realism and symbolism!

Let yourself be imbued by the mystery, the beauty and the importance of everyday life, of Indian culture as a whole. Come and listen to it!
