Dr. Anand’s ‘Bio-text’:
A Manifestation of Creative and Circumstantial Consciousness

Dr. Poonam Dwivedi, Ph.D.


Abstract

Dr. Anand has propounded a novel theory of ‘biotext’ in the world of literary criticism and it entails the creative consciousness of a person. The process of ideological conception and its textual production becomes an entity in the virtual world. The kite and string metaphor, past, present and future co-relation and co-ordination of human mind in the triad world of Time, transports the reader to another world of theory in pragmatics. Dr. Anand’s perceptions of thesis, anti-thesis and synthesis, three dimensional aspect of writing, involvement of the reader in the writing and his/her reciprocity, have been discussed in the article. The innovative interregnum of Third Space has a significant place and moment’s multilateral dynamics in life and death have undertones of biotext as illustrated by the birth of biographical sketches. The discovery of biotext is epical as delineated in the Indian context of twin epics of Asian ethos. Dr. Anand has entirely changed the gambit of criticism by formalizing a theory of his own; of biotext which is real as existentialism and composed of synthetic structuralism. The circumstantial consciousness and creative consciousness blend together to weave a web in which kites do have free flight but the space is limited and the time determines the flight of imagination of human beings.

Keywords: biotext, ideological conception, metaphor, third space, ethos, existentialism, synthetic structuralism, circumstantial consciousness, creative consciousness Anand

Introduction

The whole creation is manifestation of the Supreme Consciousness which flows perennially into the human mind to outpour in creative consciousness. The creative consciousness is always synchronized with the circumstantial consciousness. The subjectivity and objectivity in human mind is reflected in the writings of any author, effectually reflected in the mind of the reader, hence a confluence of text, context and reader takes place. Dr. J.S. Anand has exotically theorized it as ‘biotext’ in which a body and mind of the writer merge in the text and in turn which is also a wide spread canvas of the circumstances concised by the writer.
