  • Marginalia as narratives of ordinary lives

    Open AccessSilvia Caporale BizziniARTICLEThe Journal of Commonwealth…2021References: 27

    This article examines Canadian author Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall’s 2004 memoir Down to This: Squalor and Splendour in a Big-City Shantytown through the notions of marginalia and the ordinary in order to question dichotomic representations of homelessness. It explores how the author moves beyond binaries, interrogating the dichotomy ordinary/out of the ordinary lives by narrating his ethical encounter with the other (Butler, 2004). The text is writt…

  • Ordinary Affects and Spectrality in Three Works

    Feroza Jussawalla's Chiffon Saris is a precious gift.In this beautifully constructed collection of poems, the reader comes to know and understand, page after page, how Jussawalla writes herself and her world(s).While writing on life, illness and death, Jussawalla bravely declares in "The Life and Death of a Death Mask": "Surrounded by a tin halo, embellished with a/marital till, my eyebrows affi.rmations,/I am that I am.Om bhur buh svaha/" (35; m…
