Literature and Postsecularism: An Analysis
Main Article Content
Abstract
The primary objective of this paper is to understand the disciplinary exclusion of Postsecularism in the domain of literature as opposed to post secularism’s prominent presence in the critical discourses across social sciences, culture studies and politics. We would conclude how literature too was paving the way for the birth of postsecularism as a concept and movement in the late 19th century and early 20th century Europe.
