Cordelia's salt : Interspatial reading of Indic filial-love stories
Prasad, Leela
This essay attempts an interspatial reading of Shakespeare's King Lear and Indic filial-love folktales, as I will refer to them in this essay. My reading is located between my father's edition of the play and my return to it after his death in early 2014. The idea of interspace forms the basis for my analysis of thematically connected but distinct narratives in this essay. Thehaveatepick political philosopher Hannah Arendt explains that the interspace is the world that exists between people and things, conscious of individual distinctions, but simultaneously provides the very foundation for constructive dialogue, relations and purposes. So important is the interspace, Arendt argues, that to lose it, is to lose the world itself (1968:13).; Issue title: Transmissions and Transitions in Indian Oral Traditions.

Eighteen years ago, Oral Tradition 12.1 offered an octet of essays concerned with South Asian women's oral traditions. More recently, I broached the topic of another issue devoted to Indic cultures' verbal arts with several senior scholars; their enthusiasm encouraged me to canvass for a guest editor. Good fortune brought aboard Kirin Narayan, who graciously acceded to my plea for the necessary expertise to assemble this issue. Kirin has patiently and cheerfully steered the enterprise forward until now, when, "the boat has arrived on the other shore."; Issue title: Transmissions and Transitions in Indian Oral Traditions.
