Sumário:
- <p><em><span>The present paper examines how Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s Queen of Dreams intersects mythological consciousness and diasporic identity. It asserts that Divakaruni uses myth, especially dream symbolism and goddess imagery, to negotiate the Indian diaspora’s divided identity. The novel illustrates how myth forms a cultural bridge that connects homeland memory with immigrant experience, turning displacement into self-realization, through Rakhi’s personal journey and her mother’s magical legacy. Divakaruni uses mythic consciousness as an aesthetic and cognitive lens through which diasporic identity is articulated, negotiated, and transformed. By weaving mythic structures with migratory experiences, she complicates the boundaries between individual memory and cultural collective consciousness. The study argues that myth in Queen of Dreams functions as a mechanism of meaning-making, cultural preservation, and epistemological resistance for diasporic subjects, enabling hybrid modes of belonging and selfhood.</span></em></p>
