cipline, Power and Resistance: A Foucauldian Analysis of Lalithambika Antharjanam’s Novel Agnisakshi
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 7
Abstract
The objective of this paper is to explore and analyse the novel Agnisakshi written by LalithambikaAntharjanam in the light of Foucauldian concept of discipline, power and resistance. When we apply these theories in the corpus of this novel, it will definitely reflect upon the various ways in which man gets privileged to establish his power over woman. Through a certain systematic conditioning,they make the female subordinate to them. Besides these, there are certain social, cultural and religious structures that function so as to bring “discipline” and “order” to the behavioral pattern of the woman in society. All these ultimately add to the subjugation of woman in a male-dominated patriarchal society.
