Rethinking hinduism, mythologizing, and otherism

Diana Dimitrova

pp. 7-30

This chapter studies Hindu traditions in relation to myth and discourse. It will not repeat or restate obvious facts of Hinduism, but will rethink the Hindu traditions by taking into account the intrinsic links between religion, theatre, myth, and discourse. I will first present an overview of the major theories of myth, discourse, and the concept of the "other" and will then proceed to discuss the links between myth, ideology, and discourse and the way Hinduism has been informing Hindi theatre by means of mythologizing and otherism.
