Power in R. K. Narayan’s Malgudi Days
Abstract
The present study aims to consider Foucauldian ‘Power’ and its dimensions in the select short stories of R. K. Narayan’s Malgudi Days (1982). To that end, Foucauldian ‘Hegemony’ and ‘Resistance to Power and Limits of Power’ are discussed in these select short stories: “The Blind Dog”, “Forty-Five a Month”, “A Willing Slave”, “Leela’s Friend”, and “Selvi”. The study further shows the way the clusters in turn are related to each other and at the same time contribute to the Foucauldian concepts. Furthermore, Foucauldian ‘Hegemony’ and ‘Resistance to Power and Limits of Power’ are created through ‘Power’ which exists in various forms.
Key words: Michel Foucault; Power; Resistance to power; Limits of power; Hegemony
