Writing Death
Writing Death opens a meditation on the possibility of mourning; of whether there is a subject, or even object, that one mourns—of whether one is mourning, can only mourn, the very impossibility of mourning itself.

Drawing on the Victorians : The Palimpsest of Victorian and Neo-Victorian Gra…

The Politics and Poetics of Authenticity : A Cultural Genealogy of Sinhala Na…
What is the role of cultural authenticity in the making of nations? Much scholarly and popular commentary on nationalism dismisses authenticity as a romantic fantasy or, worse, a deliberately constructed mythology used for political manipulation.
