Abstract:

This thesis explores the attitudes of Dravidian boys in Australia towards learning and performing bharatanatyam—a classical dance form that traces its origins to Tamil Nadu in South India. The study argues that at present, research into immigrant South Asian men’s attitudes towards performing identity through classical art forms such as bharatanatyam is highly disjointed and underdeveloped. This thesis identifies significant gaps in existing research, including the role of performing arts education in the negotiation of cultural and gender identity among immigrant men; the experiences of the S

Abstract:

This thesis contains a detailed study of contemporary South Asian diasporic literary and cinematic works in English. The majority of the works analyzed and discussed are those produced from the 1980s onwards. My research investigates how selected diasporic texts and films from South Asia problematize representations of homeland and host spaces. I reveal in the course of this study, how these works, actively negotiate alternative modalities of belonging that celebrate the plurality of cultural identities within and outside the homeland. This exploration of diasporic narratives of homeland and h

Abstract:

Though the study of life writing within postcolonial contexts has witnessed a steady acceleration of critical interest in the last two decades, it has largely been focused on questions of either marginality and difference or hybridity and transnationalism. These are seen as exemplifying their exilic perspective which seems to evoke an aesthetic capable of transcending spatio-temporal constraints under conditions of globalisation As a consequence of this over-emphasis on the disruptive and the singular in diasporic aesthetics, other aspects of their life

Abstract:

I present a qualitative study using the narratives, elicited through interviews, of seven second-generation South Asian Britons; five men and two women, aged at the time of the interviews between 35 to 50 years. My participants are higher professionals who have married out of their ethnic and linguistic communities, and who are parents of dual-heritage children ̶ a target group that is under-represented in linguistics research. I investigate the participants’ relationship with their South Asian Heritage Language ̶ the languages being Punjabi, Gujarati, Bengali, Tamil and Konkani ̶ and the dyna
