520 $a This research analyzes the communicative dimensions of Nautanki , a highly popular folk performance tradition in rural north India. It explores how Nautanki creates participatory dialogue, builds community, and opens up possibilities for social change in rural India. It also tries to understand the position of Nautanki as a traditional folk form in a continuously changing global world.
520 $a This research uses Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of performance as carnival and Dwight Conquergood's notion of performance as an alternative to textocentrism to understand Nautanki as a community folk form and an expression of ordinary rural Indian culture. The research employed reflexive and native ethnographic methods. The author, himself a Nautanki artist, used his dual position as a performer-scholar to understand Nautanki's role in rural communities. Specifically, the method included observation of participation and in-depth interviews with Nautanki performers, writers, troupe managers, owners, their clients, and audience members in the field.
520 $a The present research suggests that Nautanki enhances the feeling of community in rural India and provides community members an opportunity to connect to their cultural heritage. The research also shows that Nautanki helps its audiences to challenge various oppressive social traditions such as dowry and adopt certain pro-social thoughts and behaviors, including gender equality and better health practices. However, this research also shows that Nautanki faces numerous challenges, including competition from an expanding mass media, changing audience preferences, and non-professionalism among its ranks. However, it seems that community folk performance traditions will continue to hold their place in the changing media atmosphere as they are more immediate and connect to their audiences in an intimate manner. Unfortunately, ordinary folk forms have not been given their due respect by Indian elites. In this respect, Nautanki performances and this dissertation represent sites of struggle to reclaim dignity for "ordinary culture."
