Bhabha’s theorisation of the relation between nation and narration. For Bhabha, the nation is narrated through narratives which are unstable and inconsistent. These narratives, based on the past or established regularly in the present, are relentlessly refashioned. Negotiating the questions of personal and national identity, Meena Alexander’s novel delineates a post-independence Indian society, dominated by an ‘imagined’ political narrative. Throughout the novel, the protagonist’s observations of the nation and its cultural bases lead her to a redefinition of her national self. Furthermore, the novel exorcises Indian history from the shadows of colonial narratives and reconstructs an alternative postcolonial account. The marginalised female voices, resisting victimisation through their search for self-reconciliation in the interstices of memory and culture, empower a new discourse of the nation in the hybrid realm of culture. NR, it is argued, offers an image of national consciousness as achieved by undermining the hegemony of the past and the tyranny of the present. It tries to give voice to the subaltern by imaginatively and socially engaging them in the national, political, cultural and social narratives of their nation.","PeriodicalId":40530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Literature and Culture","volume":"65 1","pages":"1 - 10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20512856.2018.1443629","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42213995","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}

Recent work on the literary impact of the historical crises of the Norman Conquest and the Crusades may offer fresh resolution, positing that thirteenth-century romances responded to contemporary realpolitik both by avoidance of taboo issues – here Edward's difficulties in Wales and Scotland, by apposite reference to Havelok the Dane, also in MS Laud Misc. 108 – as well as by fostering a national narrative of identity including the Normans, here evinced in the accentuation of difference between nascent Englishness and the foreign otherness of the Saracens. Thus, a more generative hypothesis is that the text's place names and antagonists may be strategically vague, and analysis of other analogues of the Horn story suggests that detail is ambiguated rather than lost. This interpretation may catalyse a new reading of the poem where imprecision serves political as well as stylistic exigencies.","PeriodicalId":40530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Literature and Culture","volume":"65 1","pages":"23 - 36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20512856.2018.1443631","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44252648","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}

While best known for his verse and fiction, de la Mare also produced a series of unconventional anthological works which contain explicit treatments of those themes which are only implicit in his creative work. Drawing on the insights found in these anthologies, this paper argues that, for de la Mare, solitude – along with its opposite state, connectedness – form the endpoints of an axis of concern that is present throughout his body of work. His poetry can be read as an exploration of the infinitely varying degrees of solitude and connection that exist between these two absolute states, manifesting as the possibility of communication held indefinitely in abeyance. Furthermore, in a critical essay on the discourse of love, contained in his 1943 anthological work Love, de la Mare links the themes of solitude, connectedness, and the attendant possibilities of communication, to his deep concern with the problems of language. In doing so, he foreshadows the work of later critics concerning absence and presence in literature, and the possibility of language and meaning in the absence of an addressee, doing so at a time when much of the critical consensus took the communicative efficacy of language for granted.","PeriodicalId":40530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Literature and Culture","volume":"65 1","pages":"50 - 59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20512856.2018.1443633","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44005693","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}

Despite its transregional appeal, Tilism-e-Hoshruba is little known in the West. The first English translation appeared as late as 2009, introducing it to the English-speaking world. However, Tilism-e-Hoshruba's new found accessibility does not recompense the lack of scholarly research on it. Most discussions about it have focused exclusively on its genre, ignoring the complex interplay of gender and religion that it offers. To curtail this surprising lack of attention, this paper focuses on the text's religious and gender binary by interrogating the symbolic status and narrative function of Amar Ayyar, an ayyar who deconstructs religious ideas in the guise of humor and playful performativity. Through the figure of Amar Ayyar, this paper contests the stereotypical assumptions (both Eastern and Western) about the fixity of religious and gender boundaries in Indo-Islamicate cultures in addition to challenging the hegemonic appropriation of Islamic discourse by religio-patriarchal structures in the modern era. By constantly questioning, de-centering, and challenging religious and gender values, this paper highlights the ways in which Amar opens interesting spaces for subversion.","PeriodicalId":40530,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Language Literature and Culture","volume":"64 1","pages":"167 - 182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2017-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20512856.2017.1402459","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45023045","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}
