| contents | <p>This paper studies the articulation of aesthetics of affects by some Southeast Asian Canadian refugee collectivities beyond state designations. Souvankham Thammavongsa's aesthetics of heterogeneity in her last collection of stories <em>How to Pronounce Knife</em> shows its belongingness to a plurality of immigrant voices with various perspectives, interests and drives.
