Abstract

The present paper aims to outline the diasporic consciousness in two Indian diasporic women poets namely, Sujata Bhatt and Debjani Chatterjee. The poets’ diasporic consciousness is strewn with the nostalgia for lost homes, pangs of homelessness, fractured identity, the disintegrated historiography of displaced individuals, persistent ‘post-memory’ and continuous struggle to assimilate into the environment of ‘hostland’. This assimilation is achieved by transcending the geographical and psychological borders of ‘homeland’ as seen in the selected poems of Bhatt and Chatterjee. The paper also attempts to show how the poets formulate ‘alternate archives’ by delineating their discourses of displacement (Hirsch and Smith 2002) of produced locality.

形成产地的“替代档案”:在苏贾塔·巴特和德贾尼·查特吉的诗选中定位散居意识

本文旨在概述两位印度流散女诗人苏贾塔·巴特和德贾尼·查特吉的流散意识。诗人们的流散意识中充满了对失去家园的怀念、无家可归的痛苦、身份认同的断裂、流离失所者的解体史学、持续的“后记忆”和融入“祖国”环境的持续斗争。这种同化是通过超越巴特和查特吉精选诗歌中所见的“家园”的地理和心理边界来实现的。本文还试图通过描绘他们对生产地的位移（Hirsch和Smith，2002）的论述来展示诗人是如何形成“替代档案”的。
