* 제목: Examining the Relationship between Woman and Death. Revisiting Savitri: A Legend and a Symbol

* Abstract:
India becomes Independent from the British Rule. Some prominent leaders in this unique movement have written extensively during this period. A concerted effort is made to explore whether there are any texts by these freedom fighters that can reverberate the project of the Indian national movement. As a part of this exploration, the presentation closely analyses the legendary character of Savitri from The Mahabharata in general and Sri Aurobindo’s rendering of the legend as a symbol in his Savitri: A Legend and a Symbol. His “The Author’s Note” also projects the allegory as a symbol ‘with whom we can enter into concrete touch’ across time. The presentation extends this move by Sri Aurobindo and explores whether the symbol can be used to understand the Indian National Movement. Three significant similarities are explored: between the irreversibility of the loss of Satyavan’s life and India’s freedom, the shift from emotion to cognition, and the success in getting Satyavan alive by Savitri and getting freedom from the British. The presentation highlights the uniqueness of both Savitri, a woman in dialogue with the God of Death, Yamadharma Raja, and the argumentative character of the Indian National Movement. In the end, the site of Satyavan’s death, which is the forest, is discussed to bring an ecological perspective to the discussion.
