Memsahib Emma — bild l\u00e5nad fr\u00e5n BBC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ser det h\u00e4r ut som en bild av Emma Woodhouse?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flera g\u00e5nger bl\u00e4ddrade jag f\u00f6rbi bilden och en kort presentation: Memsahib Emma<\/em> \u00e4r en modern ”omdiktning” av Jane Austens klassiska roman Emma<\/em>. Tv\u00e5 saker har h\u00e4nt: dels har Tanika Gupta<\/strong> f\u00f6rvandlat den till radioteater, dels har hon placerat den i Indien i mitten av 1800-talet. BBC spelade in den och s\u00e4nde den f\u00f6rsta g\u00e5ngen 2015, och den h\u00f6r till de ganska f\u00e5 arkivprogram som g\u00e5r fint att lyssna p\u00e5 h\u00e4rifr\u00e5n Sverige.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c4r det en bra id\u00e9 att g\u00f6ra om Emma <\/em>till en indisk 1800-talsber\u00e4ttelse?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanika Gupta — bild l\u00e5nad fr\u00e5n https:\/\/www.tanikagupta.com\/<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Tanika Gupta<\/strong> \u00e4r en helt osannolikt produktiv dramatiker, och en av hennes tillg\u00e5ngar \u00e4r att hon \u00e4r hemma i mer \u00e4n en kultur. Hon har f\u00e5tt stora uppdrag av BBC, hon har f\u00f6rvandlat Vikram Seth till radioteater — och hon har allts\u00e5 gjort en egen version av en Jane Austen-roman som ”alla” kan utantill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stora delar av dialogen har hon beh\u00e5llit i stort sett intakt. Ibland har hon byggt ut den med lokala detaljer och reflektioner och komplikationer, och p\u00e5 n\u00e5gra st\u00e4llen har hon lagt till helt egna scener och dialoger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Den stora f\u00f6r\u00e4ndringen \u00e4r att hon har placerat Emma och alla hennes v\u00e4nner och ov\u00e4nner i ett samh\u00e4lle d\u00e4r tv\u00e5 mycket olika folkgrupper \u00e4r i st\u00e4ndig kontakt med varandra: Emma tillh\u00f6r en f\u00f6rm\u00f6gen indisk sl\u00e4kt, och Miss Taylor och en rad andra \u00e4r britter. Dessutom finns kastsystemet i bakgrunden: Krishna (Tanika Guptas version av Harriet Smith) vet inte vilka hennes f\u00f6r\u00e4ldrar \u00e4r men \u00e4nnu mindre vilken samh\u00e4llsklass hon tillh\u00f6r, och den unge man som friar till henne \u00e4r enligt Emmas s\u00e4tt att se det b\u00e5de alldeles f\u00f6r l\u00e5gt ner p\u00e5 samh\u00e4llsstegen och alldeles f\u00f6r m\u00f6rkhyad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Att radiodramat \u00e4r begr\u00e4nsat till tv\u00e5 avsnitt p\u00e5 en timme vardera g\u00f6r f\u00f6rst\u00e5s att inte s\u00e5 mycket av alla t\u00e4nkbara komplikationer hinns med — det mest tankev\u00e4ckande \u00e4r kanske ett par snabba meningar om Miss Bates situation som ensamst\u00e5ende \u00e4ldre kvinna, fast i Indien, en bra bit ner fr\u00e5n den status som hennes familj hade n\u00e4r den kom, utan n\u00e5gra chanser att bli respekterad av vare sig de britter som hon har runt sig eller indierna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mest \u00e4r det ganska roligt och charmigt. Och s\u00e5 \u00e4r det f\u00f6rst\u00e5s en fin po\u00e4ng att Jane Austens personteckningar \u00e4r s\u00e5 genialiskt skrivna att ber\u00e4ttelserna \u00f6verlever flyttningar till andra kulturer och tider och milj\u00f6er. S\u00e5 lyssna!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
