FOLK AND NON-FOLK: QUESTIONING THE DICHOTOMY
*DEBAPRASAD BANDYOPADHYAY দেবপ্রসাে বন্দ্যাপাধ্যায় LA FILOLÓGICA POR LA CAUSA
Abstract What a dichotomy: Folk and non-folk! Loukika fact has become aloukika fiction and vise versa. The folk and tribe are colonially (either internal or external) created categories that surrogate
history and physiology and metanarratives born. Reporting of academic tribes helps governmentality. Docile bodies are penetrated with anatomo-bio-political tools of disciplinary technology. The differance between folk-art/songs/plays and classical -art/songs/plays has become blurred if the nature of sponsorship is considered. Thus political economy of such dividing practices (folk and non-folk, tribe and non-tribe) was also investigated.
The author maintained that the construction of the category "folk" was born out of superordinate's essentialist gaze that de-sign-ates otherness in the form of a discipline, “Folklore”. The dichotomous divisions between folk -- non-folk, tribe -- non-tribe, civil-savage, sastriya-loukika typically reflect the colonial pedagogy that constitute otherness by deploying different exonyms to peripheral other ignoring the ethno/endonyms as used by a community from their subject-position. These divisions between dominant centre and dominated periphery gave birth to some surrogated subjects like "Folklore" or "Anthropology" in contrast to the white men's epistemological fields like History, Sociology or Physiology. These subjects subjectify as well as objectify dominated and peripheral "other" in the way of surrogating the “scientific” construction of "human beings".
The problem is with the imaginative boundary between these two. One must keep in mind, from the standpoint of enlightened science, that the limit or boundary of different epistemological fields needs to be enumerated or well defined, i.e., in this case, the binaries like Folk language/language, folk-art/non-folk-art, Folksong/Classical song, Folk drama/theatre must be distinguished according to the existing enlightened “scientific” logic. However the construction of such boundary, diachronically, is not always transparent, but rather fuzzy; and on the other hand it reflects a tension of maintaining the boundary.
