Sukumar Ray’s ‘Nonsense’: Between Logic and the Surreal
Dr. Nayan Sarkar, Independent Research Scholar, Nadia, West Bengal, India
ABSTRACT
Although Sukumar Ray's literature is generally considered to be confined to the children's genre, the current study has established his 'nonsense' creation as a profound political and psychological metaphor. The world of 'irrationality' that Sukumar creates, parallel to global surrealism and Dadaism in the first half of the 20th century, is essentially an artistic means of questioning colonial modernity and rigid rationalism. This article analyses Sukumar's social satire in the light of Homi K. Bhabha's theory of 'hybridity' and Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of 'carnivalesque' in the context of his hybrid animalism. The results of the study indicate that Sukumar's linguistic construction and bureaucratic criticism embodied in works like 'Ekushe Ain' establish him as a pioneer of postmodern literary theory.
