A semiotic analysis of the space of performance and the occasion of performance has been done to illustrate the ways and means by which the performance and the spectators were transported to a different level of communion through the incitement of a passionate emotion. Such performances aroused the emotions and passions of the audiences, under the influence of which they tended to move beyond their personal or individual identity and embraced a larger identity of ‘amra’ or ‘us’.","PeriodicalId":388100,"journal":{"name":"Performing Nationhood","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130513837","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}

The Bengali spectators reacted because their emotions were driven towards the cultural symbols or metaphors that they were familiar with. Described as ‘root metaphors’ or basic analogy (something that anthropologists describe as feelings or understandings specific to a culture), these symbols and motifs were common to all present in the space of performance, thereby joining them in a bond imagined through these motifs/symbols.","PeriodicalId":388100,"journal":{"name":"Performing Nationhood","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116498490","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}

One of the questions examined in the course of investigation is how the process of dissemination of ideas and attempts to awake a national community were juxtaposed with alternatives, often by negatives too, produced in the same space. Swadeshi performance, in its space, attached a new meaning to the notion of nationhood. A modification was introduced in this dissemination, causing the idea of violence to be added to the notion of nationhood. This seeped into the mental habits of the people and became their custom in the long term, thereby engendering a nationhood that had a close nexus with violence.","PeriodicalId":388100,"journal":{"name":"Performing Nationhood","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133029111","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}
