Abstract | (Bose; Sanyal) This paper aims to think the question of caste spatially where Partition is seen as the ruins of past experiences. [...]camps considered here are not only thought of as concentration of the refugees, but it also indicates the phenomenon of caste in Bengal and explores the meaning of camp considering this reality. Description directed towards camp or asylum as the space of protection of the refugees, introduces a corollary obligation for the state to help them and it does so according to the institutionalized principle of the League of Nations^On the other side, the facts of this spatial consideration have been counted according to the law of physical structure of the camp and policy for the rights of asylum or camp inmates. The existence of camp was very purposive and it was the immediate assistance given to the people whose way of life was disrupted. [...]in-itself camp belonged to such a destiny of the being, which is actually the affirmation of the abandonment of home and makes 'itself of refugee' known by the essence of the spatial arrangement. To investigate the truth of the 'being' of camp in a post-metaphysical way is to understand the reality. [...]in-itself camp is a kind of temporal arrangement for the refugee families. |

AbstractList | (Bose; Sanyal) This paper aims to think the question of caste spatially where Partition is seen as the ruins of past experiences. [...]camps considered here are not only thought of as concentration of the refugees, but it also indicates the phenomenon of caste in Bengal and explores the meaning of camp considering this reality. Description directed towards camp or asylum as the space of protection of the refugees, introduces a corollary obligation for the state to help them and it does so according to the institutionalized principle of the League of Nations^On the other side, the facts of this spatial consideration have been counted according to the law of physical structure of the camp and policy for the rights of asylum or camp inmates. The existence of camp was very purposive and it was the immediate assistance given to the people whose way of life was disrupted. [...]in-itself camp belonged to such a destiny of the being, which is actually the affirmation of the abandonment of home and makes 'itself of refugee' known by the essence of the spatial arrangement. To investigate the truth of the 'being' of camp in a post-metaphysical way is to understand the reality. [...]in-itself camp is a kind of temporal arrangement for the refugee families. The paper would talk about how the existence of refugee camps in post-partition Bengal was very purposive, and it was the immediate assistance given to the people whose way of life was disrupted by the sudden event of Partition. In Bengal the experiences of camp have an ontological distinction with regard to the question of caste. This paper will look into the obscurity of camp life with regard to its mode of silence. The understanding of silence is incorporated here from the seminal book by Martin HeideggerBeing and Timeto analyze the existential ontological foundation of language. The paper will try to interpret how in such spatio-temporal circumstances the being of lower caste refugee expresses themselves or their passivity to write. Maurice Blanchot’s The Writing of the Disastergives us a new direction to think of silence. It will be attempted here to explicate whether the silence of the camp creates a possibility to disclose the dominant discourse of the political subject of the refugee. |
