Thanks to Rini for drawing my attention to Dr Christyna Nygren’s book Boundless Bengal on folk theatre of Bangladesh.
Swedish scholars are taking interest in Bangla theatre. The SASNET website tells quite a story of U of Stockholm collaboration with Indian and Bangladeshi scholars in studying theatre of both Bangaldesh and West Bengal.
Norwegians are not far behind either; Geir Heierstad’s dissertation on Nandikar is in public domain.
What about the BFG anthros? Elke Mader of U of Vienna is working on ‘Sharukhology’; what about theatre?
