The poets' diasporic consciousness is strewn with the nostalgia for lost homes, pangs of homelessness, fractured identity, the disintegrated historiography of displaced individuals, persistent "post-memory" and continuous struggle to assimilate into the environment of "hostland". This assimilation is achieved by transcending the geographical and psychological borders of "homeland" as seen in the selected poems of Bhatt and Chatterjee. The paper also attempts to show how the poets formulate "alternate archives" by delineating their discourses of displacement (Hirsch and Smith 2002) of produced localityČlanek zariše diasporsko zavest v pesmih indijskih diasporskih pesnic Sujati Bhatt in Debjani Chatterjee. Njuno diasporsko zavest zaznamuje nostalgija za izgubljenimi domovi, bolečina brezdomskosti, zlomljena identiteta, razpadla historiografija dislociranih posameznikov, vztrajni 'po-spomin' in nenehni poskusi vključevanja v 'gostiteljska' okolja. Izbrane pesmi Sujate Bhatt and Debjani Chatterjee kažejo, da je takšno vključevanje mogoče s preseganjem geografskih in psiholoških meja 'domovine'. V prispevku pokažem tudi, kako pesnici oblikujeta 'alternativne arhive' z zarisom diskurzov dislociranosti (Hirsch in Smith 2002) ustvarjene lokalnostiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta, Znanstvena založba
