ಕನ್ನಡನಾಡಿನ ವಿಶಿಷ್ಟ, ಬಹುಶ್ರುತ ವಿದ್ವಾಂಸ ಪು. ಶ್ರೀನಿವಾಸ ಭಟ್ಟ [೧೯೩೯-೨೦೧೧] ಅವರ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿಯ ಕುರಿತ ಲೇಖನಗಳ ಸಂಕಲನವಿದು. ನಿಶ್ಚಿತ ನಿರ್ವಚನಕ್ಕೆ ಸಿಗದ ಅಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ವಿಸ್ತಾರ, ವೈವಿಧ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಅರಿವಿನ ಆಗರವಾಗಿದ್ದ ಪು. ಶ್ರೀ. ಅವರು ಎಲ್ಲ ಅರ್ಥಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ‘ದೇಸಿ’ ಪರಂಪರೆಯ ಘನ ಪಂಡಿತರು. ಇತಿಹಾಸ, ತುಳುಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿ. ಯಕ್ಷಗಾನ, ಹಳಗನ್ನಡ, ಜಾನಪದ ವಸ್ತು-ಸಂಗತಿ, ನಂಬಿಕೆ-ನಡವಳಿಕೆ, ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿ-ವಿಷಯ- ಇಂಥ ವಿಷಯಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ತಲಸ್ಪರ್ಶಿ ಅನುಭವವಿದ್ದ ಅವರ ವಿಶ್ಲೇಷಣೆ, ನಿರೂಪಣ ಶೈಲಿ ಅನ್ಯತ್ರ ದುರ್ಲಭ ಎಂಬಷ್ಟು ಅನನ್ಯ.

ಅವರ ಬರಹಗಳ ಶಿರೋನಾಮೆಗಳ ಅವುಗಳ ವೈಶಿಷ್ಟ್ಯವನ್ನು ಹೇಳುತ್ತವೆ- ತೊಟ್ಟಿಲುಗಳು, ಮುಳ್ಳುಗಳು, ಕೋಣೆಗಳು, ಬಾವಿಗಳು, ಗುಡ್ಡಗಳು, ಕೊಡೆಗಳು, ತಿಂಡಿಗಳು, ಪ್ರಸಾದ ವೈವಿಧ್ಯ, ಹೂಮಾಲೆ, ತೋಡು-ಗುಂರ್ಪೆ-ಮದಕ, ದಾರಿಗಳು, ಯಕ್ಷಗಾನ ಪ್ರಸಂಗಗಳು, ಪ್ರಸಂಗ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಸಮೀಕ್ಷೆ, ಸತ್ಯಪರೀಕ್ಷೆಯ ವಿಧಾನಗಳು, ನಿಷೇಧ ಮತ್ತು ಪರಿಹಾರ, ಬೇಸಾಯದ ನುಡಿತಗಳು, ಕ್ಷೇತ್ರ ವೃತ್ತಾಂತಗಳು, ಜಾತ್ರೆಗಳು, ಆಳುಪ ವಂಶ, ದಕ್ಷಿಣಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ವೀರ ಶೈವ ಧರ್ಮ, ಶಿಲಾಶಾಸನ ವಿವರ- ಇತ್ಯಾದಿ.

ಪಾರಂಪರಿಕ ನೋಟ ಮತ್ತು ಆಧುನಿಕ ಸಂಶೋಧಕನ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಗಳ ಸಮನ್ವಯ, ತುಂಬ ಸರಳ-ಸುಲಭ ರೀತಿಯ ನಿರೂಪಣೆ, ತಪಸ್ಸಿನಂಥ ದೀರ್ಘಕಾಲದ ಅಧ್ಯಯನ, ಸೂಕ್ಷ್ಮ ಪರಿಶೀಲನ, ನೈಜ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತಿ ಪ್ರೇಮದ ಒಳನೋಟಗಳು- ಇವೆಲ್ಲವನ್ನು ಗಮನಿಸಿದರೆ ಇವು ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಾರಸತ್ವ ಲೋಕಕ್ಕೆ ವಿಶೇಷವಾದ ಕೊಡುಗೆಯೆ ಸರಿ.

ಪದಪದವಿಗಳ ಯೋಚನೆ ಇಲ್ಲದೆ, ಸ್ವಂತ ಆಸಕ್ತಿಯಿಂದ ಗ್ರಂಥ ಸಂಗ್ರಹ ಮಾಡಿ, ಕೇತ್ರಕಾರ್ಯದಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ತೊಡಗಿಕೊಂಡು ಸುಮಾರು ಆರು ದಶಕಗಳ ಕಾಲ ‘ಬರಿಗಾಲ ಸಂಶೋಧಕ’ನಾಗಿ [ಬ್ಯಾರ್‌ಫೂಟ್ ರಿಸರ್ಚರ್] ಕ್ರಿಯಾಶೀಲರಾಗಿದ್ದವರು. ಅಧ್ಯಾಪಕ ವೃತ್ತಿಯಿಂದ ಬಂದ ವೇತನದ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಭಾಗವನ್ನು ಅಧ್ಯಯನ ಸಂಪನ್ಮೂಲಗಳ ಸಂಗ್ರಹಕ್ಕೆ ವ್ಯಯಿಸಿದವರು. ಒಬ್ಬ ಶಾಲಾಮಾಸ್ತರನಾಗಿ ಸಂಶೋಧನೆಯ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಶ್ವವಿದ್ಯಾನಿಲಯದ ಪ್ರಾಧ್ಯಾಪಕರ ಮಟ್ಟದÀ ಸಾಧನೆ ಮಾಡಿದವರು. ಅನೇಕ ಸಂಶೋಧಕರಿಗೆ ಜಿಜ್ಞಾಸುಗಳಿಗೆ ಮಾರ್ಗದರ್ಶನ ಗ್ರಂಥ ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಿದರು ಅವರ ಅಪ್ರಕಟಿತ ಬರಹಗಳ ಸಂಪುಟವು ಅಧ್ಯಯನ ಆಸಕ್ತರಿಗೆ ಒಂದು ಅಮುಲ್ಯ ಆಕಾರ ಗ್ರಂಥವೆನಿಸಲಿದೆ.

Paperback
Kannada Theatre History 1850-1950: A Sourcebook
Akshara K V, B R Venkataramana Aithala, Deepa Ganesh

Edited by: Akshara K V with B R Venkataramana Aithala, Deepa Ganesh

This source book on Kannada theatre history is a valuable contribution to the larger field of Indian Theatre Studies. Avoiding the shortcuts of an overview or a Wikipedia-like assemblage of information, it delves into the lives, histories, struggles, debates and anecdotes surrounding some of the most pioneering figures in the shaping of Kannada theatre between 1850-1950. The selection of primary sources, most of which are being made available in English for the first time, is nothing short of a revelation in the way it illuminates insights into the actual making and thinking of theatre practice. Here we have a model of how the construct of ‘Indian Theatre’ can be textured, inflected, individuated and problematized at regional, local and intracultural levels. Rustom Bharucha .This book is a labour of love by scholars who not only love Kannada theatre, but want to pass on their enjoyment of it. Delving deep into folklore oral history, local history, gossip debate and discourse, the editors bring out the world of Kannada theatres in pluralistic terms. Scholarship and playfulness combine to create a powerful act of storytelling where the book itself mimics the career of Kannada theatre. As an anthology it becomes an initiation rite, an introduction to all the great figures, not as hagiography but as nuanced analysis. Big questions and little questions combine to create both a sense of combativeness and a wonderful feeling of homecoming. Like tricksters, they break the binaries of tradition and modernity, treating it almost like a bad play which needs new scripts and new performers. A wonderful anthology. A deeply desi book, with all the cosmopolitanism of world theatre.

Interested readers may write to us at mup@manipal.edu about purchasing the book.
