CULTURAL HYBRIDITY

Abstract

Abstract "Cultural Hybridity" means forming a new culture by intermingling the two cultures. The first theorist to locate the hybrid source of Modernism was Mikhail Bakhtin and in post-colonial anglophone literature, hybridity was popularized by Homi K. Bhabha in which Bhabha argued that cultural hybridity disrupts fixed categories of identities such as colonizers and colonized, and create new, fluid spaces where cultural meanings and practices are constantly negotiated. The purpose of this chapter is to elucidate the cultural hybridity focalizing the northeast Indian contact zone concerning the cultural assimilation of Hinduism into Meitei traditional dance forming a hybrid dance so so-called Manipuri Rasa dance in the 17th century, and the hybrid culture formed by the migration of Muslims and other Hindus into Manipur. This paper also highlights the creolization of the Naga language, the use of English script by the people of Meghalaya, and the resistance known as an abrogation of language by Ngugi Wa Thiong"o. In the post-colonial context, not on the tradition of the Western canon or Eurocentric ideology this paper emphasizes the impact of colonialism on the changed dressing style of traditional Meitei’s Thabal Chongba and Bollywood"s hybrid narratology with costumes and cuisines, the oriental Hybrid Yoga, Javanese culture and African Christian.KEYWORDS: Cultural hybridity, Manipuri Rasa Dance, Creolization, Abrogation, Thabal Chongba.
