Her novels have been translated into many languages like Dutch, German, Spanish, Danish, Romanian, Serbian and Tamil. The present paper examines Malladi’s latest novel The Copenhagen Affair (2017), in which the heroine Sanya is captivated by a swirl of infidelity, corporate intrigue, and the particular habits of Copenhagen’s café class. She undergoes a nervous breakdown in her forties due to depression and stress. According to Carl Jung’s analytical psychology theory Sanya goes through the stages of stable introvert, unstable introvert, unstable extrovert and finally becomes an ambivert. In the beginning of the novel, Sanya is a stable introvert who works smartly but even after fifteen years of experience her efforts are not recognised and the management fails to appreciate her.

  • Reading the Authentic in South Asian Diasporic Literature and Community
    Between History and Identity: Reading the Authentic in South Asian Diasporic Literature and Community by Tamara Ayesha Bhalla A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (English Language and Literature) in The University of Michigan 2008 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Maria Sarita See, Chair Professor June M. Howard Professor Sidonie A. Smith Assistant Professor Christi A. Merrill Assistant Professor Megan L. Sweeney © Tamara Ayesha Bhalla 2008 Dedication To My Family (old and new) ii Acknowledgements One of the foundational pursuits of this dissertation has been to theorize how the act of reading, often considered a solitary pursuit, is in fact a communal and group-based activity. In completing the project, I have learned that the vexing and apparently solitary process of writing can be eased by interaction, feedback, and dialogue. And I consider myself extremely fortunate to have been accompanied by a number of thoughtful readers and fellow writers while completing this project. Firstly, I am enormously grateful to readers in the NetSAP-D.C. book club for welcoming me into the group (and often into their homes), for participating in my study, and for encouraging me to question my assumptions about reading and the role of the literary critic. I am particularly fortunate to have had a committee of scholars with quite diverse perspectives oversee and guide the development of this project. Megan Sweeney, who graciously agreed to join my committee very shortly after arriving at Michigan, provided indispensable advice on how to incorporate qualitative research methods into a literature project.

  • Diasporic Tastescapes : Intersections of Food and Identity In
    Diasporic Tastescapes: Intersections of Food and Identity in Asian American Literature Os sabores da diáspora: comida e identidade na literatura asiático-americana Paula Torreiro Pazo Doctoral Thesis/Tese de doutoramento UDC 2014 Directora e titora da tese: Dra. Begoña Simal González Departamento de Filoloxía Inglesa A meus pais, por crer en min. Por acompañarme e darme forzas neste longo camiño. O meu agradecemento á miña titora, Begoña Simal González, pola súa inspiración e valiosos consellos. Abstract Diasporic Tastescapes: Intersections of Food and Identity in Asian American Literature This dissertation seeks to explore the culinary metaphors present in a selection of Asian American narratives written by authors such as Jhumpa Lahiri, May-lee Chai, Shoba Narayan, Leslie Li, Bich Minh Nguyen, Linda Furiya, Mei Ng, Lois-Ann Yamanaka, Patricia Chao, Shirley Geok-lin Lim, Anita Desai, Sara Chin and Andrew X. Pham. It is my contention that the intricate web of culinary motifs featured in these texts offers a fertile ground for the study of the real and imaginary [hi]stories of the Asian American community, an ethnic minority that has been persistently racialized through its eating habits. Thus, I will examine those literary contexts in which the presence of food images becomes especially meaningful as an indicator of the nostalgia of the immigrant, the sense of community of the diasporic family, the clash between generations, or the shocks of arrival and return. My approach to the culinary component will combine previous theorizations on the subject, such as Sau-ling Cynthia Wong’s or Anita Mannur’s, at the same time that I provide new points of departure from which to look into the trope of food against the backdrop of globalization and transnationalism.

JANAURY 2019 1 MULTICULTURALISM IN SELECT INDIAN ENGLISH NOVELS Introduction: The concept of multiculturalism was originated in the 1970s and was used in Canada for the first time to tackle the problem of immigrants. Multiculturalism is defined as the state of co-existence of divers cultures. Culture includes racial,religious,linguistics etc. Multiculturalism is the phenomenon of multiple groups of cultures existing within one society, largely due to arrival of immigrants communities. Their cultural identities reflected in every aspect of life – worship, fellowship, leadership, religious education, social justice etc. As a result of international migration, multiculturalism has become the dominant theory in the last 20-30 years in some countries of western civilization.That’s why multiculturalism became prominent theme of some novels. Authors who had first hand experience of both cultures, they presented their experiences through their books. Multiculturalism takes these familiar cultural markers of ethnic groups- clothing, cuisine and music and treats them as a authentic practices to be preserved by their members and safely consumed by others. Under the banner of multiculturalism they are taught in school, performed in festivals, displayed in media and museums and so on. Multiculturalism can restore cultural rights by emphasising cultural equality and respect.
