Representation of Trans-National Character of Woman in Bharati Mukherjee’s Wife

Abstract

Bhabha projects culture as hybrid from the side of migrant and subaltern. Bhabhas disjunctive temporality is analogical to Salman Rushdies notion of broken mirror about the migrant. Rushdie even generalizes the excitement of the homeless when he says: But human beings do not perceive things whole. We are not gods but wounded creatures, cracked lenses, capable of fractured perceptions. [i] The migrants or expatriates cracked and fractured self have been indicated by Bhabha, using Lacans notion as the twilight existence of the aesthetic images.[ii]
