Drawing insights from this paradigm, this lecture delivered in his memory analyses the dialectics of or the relations between tradition and modernity. It is based on a sociological reading of the historical novel Saheb Bibi Golam by the Bengali litterateur Bimal Mitra. It elucidates fiction as ethnography and provides a corrective to the conventional polarisation between fiction and social research.- Reproduced https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/00380229241230723 Sociological Bulletin AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 402055 IIPA IIPA 2024-07-25 73(2), Apr, 2024: p.170-188 AR132450 2024-07-25 AR
