`Leaving the Country, I Shall Be Free`: The present volume examines how the Siri tradition of Coastal Karnataka serves as a source of identity. The Siri oral narrative (paddana, an indigenous genre of the Dravidian Tu u language) relates the story of an extraordinary Tu uva woman called Siri and her female descendants. Siri is a role-model for many local women, especially for those singing her story and performing as her mediums in the ritual context of the deified family`s annual festivals.Combining and analyzing textual and ethnographic material, the connection between oral narratives and personal, social and cultural identity is explored in depth for the first time: Selected Siri texts are studied in regard to their representation of gender roles, caste-specific perspectives and the world view and ethos pertaining to Tu u culture. In addition, the female-oriented Siri tradition is compared to three other, more male-centered Tu u and Kannada oral texts (K i-Cennaya, Koddabbu and Male Mad svara). The empirical data, particularly interviews, illustrate the Siri tradition`s impact on the performers` life, personal and social identity. Altogether, the study stresses the tradition`s value both on the level of the individual and the collective, such as its socio-cultural relevance as a normative text, sacred narrative and part of Tu uva cultural memory.
