In the novel, Stevens’ sense of nostalgia is presented as a sensual impetus or a blueprint to revisit the past to construct a more insightful understanding of the self. Analysing both uses of nostalgia in the source text and its adaptation, this article reveals that the Merchant Ivory adaptation (1993) limits its nostalgic perspective to depicting the idealised imperial past, and it does not evoke any dissident conception of nostalgia for the audience as the novel provides through its protagonist’s retrospection for the reader. Discussing the politics and contextual background of the adaptation, it concludes that Merchant Ivory’s film version of Ishiguro’s novel exemplifies characteristics of heritage cinema to convey dominantly conservative ideologies such as elitism and nationalism as common norms upheld in Thatcher’s Britain.","PeriodicalId":40530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Literature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20512856.2021.1907016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45645428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The contested binaries of male and female are associated with the perceptions of an individual's level of conformity to the vexed ideals of ‘masculinity' and ‘femininity', but a ‘trans' identity finds its expression outside these assigned gender dichotomous roles and find its expression in embodied and bodied practices. The aspects of masculinity and femininity are seen as ‘performative' which can be reflected through ‘sign vehicle' and ‘body idiom', the terms used by Sociologist Erving Goffman. Based on the Butlerian theory of ‘performativity of gender' and ‘materialization', this study pursues the question of hijra (trans woman) construction through the conceptual framework of ‘performance', ‘corporeal significations' and ‘appearance' which is linked to their gendered identity. The reading examines and critiques on the construction of hijra identity and further observes that in imitating the inveterate femininity their construction goes beyond the ascribed ‘feminine’ gender role. It engages with select hijra autobiographies namely, The Truth About Me (2010) by A Revathi, I Am Vidya (2007) by Vidya and Me Hijra, Me Laxmi (2015) by Laxmi, which provides narratives on distinct construction of hijra feminine identity.","PeriodicalId":40530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Literature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20512856.2021.1882027","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41961040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Crónicas are newspaper columns that comment on aspects of daily life, social habits and the concerns of communities. They have appeared in Spanish-language newspapers in Australia since the late 1970s. A selection of Woggy Girl's crónicas are examined to determine what these narratives reveal about Espinosa's migratory journey and her process of adaptation to the host language and culture – which involved relinquishing her primary identity as a senior medical specialist. Espinosa identified this process as being one of grief, which she chronicled through the newspaper columns that are the focus of this study. Drawing on migratory grief theories from psychological and psychiatric disciplines, this article analyses Woggy Girl's crónicas to determine what they reveal about the author's self-diagnosed journey through migratory grief. I conclude that crónica writing provided Espinosa with a mechanism through which to process the myriad of emotions that accompanied her migratory grief journey, until such time as she was able to carve out a new identity, positioned closer to that of Australian mainstream society.","PeriodicalId":40530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Literature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20512856.2020.1849946","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49351269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Malouf’s authorship transforms these ordinary drafts and materials into finished works that are recognised and read internationally. The present paper attempts to indicate some nodes from the collections which bear traces of this metamorphosis of the commonplace into the novel. The paper is divided into three sections. The introductory part reflects on a recent study conducted on the manuscript collections of J. M. Coetzee. Through a close reading of Malouf’s Fly Away Peter, it argues that much like Coetzee, the former’s novels also figure the ‘writing event’ in their narrative in a manner that exceeds the various contexts of its production, reception, and exchange. The second segment of the paper pays particular attention to three novels of Malouf – Johnno, An Imaginary Life, and The Great World. It close-reads sections from these works to underline the significance of the way their published versions differ from their numerous drafts and re-drafts. The conclusion discusses the implications of such dissonance in terms of some current developments in the fields of ‘postcritical’ thinking, literary editing, and book history.","PeriodicalId":40530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Literature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20512856.2020.1849944","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60021541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, I first investigate the multi-perspective narrative structure in Yan’s novella, concerning how private, marginal memory contradicts mainstream narratives of gender and sexuality. Secondly, I expound the memory of the body that mediates this marginal memory, regarding the fantasised body, the disciplined body, resistance, and emancipation of the body. I discuss how gender stereotypes are challenged, gender performance is manipulated, and normalised sexuality is transgressed in power relations, in light of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler’s theories of body and gender politics. Finally, I investigate the ‘de-marginality’ that compromises the marginal position of sexual minorities and complicates the marginal memory. Overall, by conceptualising ‘marginal memory’ vis-à-vis public memory, I argue that the narrative of marginal memory being appropriated and silenced constitutes the alternative accounts to rethink historical and individual trauma. I propose that within Yan’s writing emerges a vision of marginality that champions the autonomy and creativity, which arises from queerness and trauma.","PeriodicalId":40530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Literature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20512856.2020.1851156","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44459203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Postcolonial countries and writers usually have to contend with the dilemma of which language to use, whether to employ their own native tongues, thus fostering national invigoration and a demise of colonial past, or whether the language of the coloniser is a valid tool for national, postcolonial expression. The Irish case is paradoxical: while Ireland possesses a language different to the tongue of the colonisers, by the time literacy was widespread, it had lost its vantage point among the majority of the population, especially the educated elites. In Ireland the question was how to best adapt the language to employ it as a decolonising tool. While many critics place such abrogation movement in the early twentieth century, in the context of the Irish Revival, this paper demonstrates that such language deployments had its origins in the nineteenth century, invigorated by Celticism and Protrestant Cultural Nationalism. By examining two narratives by Dublin-born writer Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, the present study unveils how language was employed to break the well-established paradigms associated to Catholic classes and the Irish national identity.","PeriodicalId":40530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Literature and Culture","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20512856.2020.1849948","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48115035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
