Dilip K. Das, Epidemic Narratives: The Cultural Construction of Infectious Disease Outbreaks in India
In recent years, the history of medicine has witnessed a decisive shift from event-based accounts of epidemics towards analyses that foreground culture, affect, and narrativity.

The lost Kashmir: Home, memory, and affect through the material in Agha Shahid Ali's poetry

I argue that Ali’s verse, through multiple journeys ranging over locations, languages, cultures, and literary terrain, interrogates and collapses the bou…
Remembering Bangladesh: Tahmima Anam and the Recuperation of a Bangladeshi National Narrative in Diaspora
This essay will investigate some of the new ramifications of South Asian nationalisms in the current world, being inflected by global phenomena like diasporas and transnationalism, with reference to the fiction of the British-Bangladeshi author, Tahmima Anam. I argue that Anam's Bangladeshi national affiliation motivates her fiction, which arises out of a desire to assert its distinctiveness from the rest of South Asian identity. I argue that Ana…
