Farina Mir The Punjabi Literary Formation: Language and Affect in a Vernacular Culture

Webcast sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and lecture hosted by the Department of Asian Studies at UBC as part of the 2nd Annual Celebration of Punjabi in honour of the memory of Harjit K. Sidhu, Professor Farina Mir explores the contours of a colonial-era Punjabi literary formation in India. That is,
those individuals who shared in the practices of producing,
circulating, performing, and consuming Punjabi literary texts.
She will argue that the Punjabi literary formations pragmatic
engagements with colonial institutions were far less important
than the affective attachments its adherents established with a
place, with an old but dynamic corpus of stories, and with the
moral sensibility that suffused those stories.

Great narrative about Punjabi language and the relationship between it, land, family/clan and the social space created by their interaction - as understood by me as a social scientist not as a historian.
