As an art form that foregrounds the body and relies on visuality to develop spectatorship as an affective, relational process, performance art lends itself to being analysed as a means of prosthetic memory. This article engages with three performances by the Sri Lankan performance artist Bandu Manamperi to address the interpretive intersection of the two fields, drawing on Memory Studies, Performance Studies and the Kristevan abject. Analysing interview data and photographic documentation of the performances, I explore how the affective links built through performance contribute to the creation of empathetic, relational understandings of the performing body, especially when the body presents as a violated or abject entity, and how space and cultural memory frame performance and guide viewing. I conclude that as a visceral signifier and carrier of personal memory in performance art, the body interacts with audiences’ experiential archives to impact subjectivity and influence worldview, thereby suggesting that analysing performance art reinforces and extends the tenets of Landsberg’s theories and that prosthetic memory merits further scholarship in relation to the visual arts.","PeriodicalId":158055,"journal":{"name":"Society and Culture in South Asia","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121705229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the dialectical process of Islamic acculturation also led the Muslim identity in Kashmir to disentangle itself from any essential association with it. The article, thus, argues that Kashmiriyat alone cannot underpin any inclusive notion of democracy in Kashmir. In so far as Kashmiriyat is concerned with the religious orthodoxy implicated in subversion and violence, it is argued that religious orthodoxy, irrespective of its sociopolitical implications, being the only mode of social representation of religion cannot be eliminated in any ultimate sense. Nevertheless, it is the social antagonism that makes any religious orthodoxy to emerge, transform and ultimately face its own contingency. Thus, more than any narrative of harmony and co-existence surrounding Kashmiriyat, it is the democratic space reflective of the underlying sociopolitical antagonisms that can channelise orthodoxy in a socially productive manner. The article also highlights that the process of socio-economic development in Kashmir (referred to here as ‘distributive politics’) straddles different discourses and mainly enhances the discursive depth of the narrative in power.","PeriodicalId":158055,"journal":{"name":"Society and Culture in South Asia","volume":"57 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114013319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even though they currently very much identify with the nationalist imagination and unitary state project of the greater Sinhala collectivity, they were historically the first in the island to forward a federal demand. As such, inquiring into how the Kandyans found it possible to integrate, politico-ideologically as much as materially, to the majority polity promises to be a worthy pursuit. It is even more intriguing when one considers the retention of their cultural distinction from other Sinhalese, notwithstanding politico-ideological integration. In seeking answers to this puzzle, the present study reveals that the plantation economy, administrative restructuring of the island and the choice of Buddhism as the exemplification of the cultural identity of Sri Lanka have been instrumental in the formation as well as subsequent dilution of the Kandyan identity over time. In this equation, the colonial intervention ironically has been crucial in marking the distinction of Kandy’s identity, and—rather unwittingly—its later integration with the larger Sinhala polity as well.","PeriodicalId":158055,"journal":{"name":"Society and Culture in South Asia","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126148521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
