| contents | Amitav Ghosh’ Shadow Lines: Mapping Cross Border Identity Kalyan Pattanayak Lengua y Literatura Border Memory Identity Partition Migration The Shadow Lines (1988) is a historical novel by Amitav Ghosh that focuses on the national and geographical boundaries that alienate individuals. The book also depicts the violence that erupted in 1964. The title “The Shadow Lines” has multiple layers of meanings; it does not only relate to international boundaries. Ghosh’s choice of the title implies that the boundaries that divide people are just ‘shadows’. Those borders are nothing but artificial and fictitious lines drawn by people from power centre. Ghosh emphasises arbitrary nature of such geographic demarcations. This paper tends to identify the identity of people who did cross geographical borders forcefully or voluntarily and how memory and nostalgia loom large upon them. 2021 artículo científico 2455-6580 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=703873558022 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7038/703873558022/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7038/703873558022/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7038/703873558022/703873558022.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7038/703873558022/movil https://doi.org/10.53032/TCL.2021.6.3.23 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7038 The Creative Launcher application/pdf Perception Publishing The Creative Launcher (India) Num.3 Vol.6 |
