South Asian Writers Seeking Alternatives to the Colonial/Postcolonial Binary

Contemporary South Asian writers have prominently engaged in writing about the discourses of the colonial past, postcolonial identity and socio-economic and political issues of postcoloniality. This panel attempts to interrogate whether South Asian writers are restricted to the writing-back-to-the-empire model and if critics are able to see beyond the colonial/postcolonial paradigm in the writings that do offer alternate models. Send abstract to Pramila Venkateswaren . Deadline extended to Oct. 10.
