Shattered selves and border witnessing
Calls to decolonise trauma studies have drawn attention to the need to extend our reading of testimonial narrative beyond the West; to the significance of Cathy Caruth’s observation that ‘trauma itself may provide the very link between cultures’; and to the importance of generating new critical paradigms that speak to testimonial narratives from the Global South. An analysis of narratives that bear witness to surviving the Cambodian genocide allo…
Vadivel's Body
An uncanny autoethnographic account of a human rights case, detailing an encounter with Vadivel - a victim of Sri Lanka's civil war - and the story of his son who was tortured and killed by police
Can Only the Dead Speak?” Terror, Trauma and the Witness Traveller
My article considers Dori Felman and Shoshana Laub’s configuration of the witness traveller in relation to narrative witnessing across a range of texts by exilic writers. Framed and informed by Salman Rushdie’s rhetorical question in Shame, “Can only the dead speak?” — a question that foregrounds the politics of bearing witness to trauma from an exilic perspective — the paper considers the narrative mediation of secondary witnessing across the “t…

Breaking News
Vanishing points/visible fictions
My paper explores Agamben's formulation of ‘vanishing points’ – that is, spaces of exception and exclusion where a human being can be killed with impunity – and considers this in relation to the representation of the human body in literary texts on terror. I focus on the way in which gaps and elisions in discourses on terror are registered, marked and filled by literary texts that focus on the precarious vulnerability of those designated as homo …
Rebirth of a Nation or The Incomparable Toothbrush
I examine the post-Independence role of Sri Lanka's origin story, revealing the ways in which the foundational myth of the Mahavamsa functions as a conflicted site of cultural “encompassment” (Kapferer) in literary and political discourse. Through an analysis of the fiction of Tissa Abeysekara, Carl Muller and the assassinated president Ranasinghe Premadasa, I show how the scripting of this myth in fiction reveals a shift from the celebratory dri…
The New Cartographies of Re-Orientalism
This paper explores the concept of Re-Orientalism by evaluating contrasting uses of the term, examining their implications and revealing the way they mark ongoing contestations over cultural legitimacy and authority. I explore some of the connections between Re-Orientalism and Graham Huggan’s postcolonial exoticism and propose an inclusive working definition of Re-Orientalism that I put to the test in an evaluation of Michael Ondaatje’s Running i…
The Map
Writing Sri Lanka
Focusing on ways in which cultural nationalism has influenced both the production and critical reception of texts, Salgado presents a detailed analysis of eight leading Sri Lankan writers - Michael Ondaatje, Romesh Gunasekera, Shyam Selvadurai, A. Sivanandan, Jean Arasanayagam, Carl Muller, James Goonewardene and Punyakante Wijenaike – to rigorously challenge the theoretical, cultural and political assumptions that pit 'insider' against 'outsider…
