Asian Institute PhD Seminar Series
In this talk I will explore the various interrelated ways in which inauspiciousness and femininity relate to power and authority in a broad range of recent Indian texts in English. The talk will center on readings of contemporary authors and relate social and cultural contexts to forms of literary representation.
Margaret Herrick is working on a PhD through the Department of English and the Centre for South Asian Studies. Margaret works primarily on South Asian fiction, poetry, and drama written in English in the postcolonial period. In her dissertation project, she is theorizing the interplay between ‘femininity’ and ‘inauspiciousness’ in contemporary Indian texts.
