Regenerating Resistance: Comparative Modalities of Marginal Voices Across Borders
This roundtable explores how literature and allied forms of cultural expression regenerate acts of resistance across generations and geopolitical contexts. Centering on comparative studies of marginalized communities including Dalit, Black, Indigenous, and diasporic voices, this session interrogates how storytelling practices evolve to challenge hegemonic narratives and recover erased or silenced histories. Participants are invited to reflect on how forms such as autofiction, digital narratives, performance art, eco-poetics, or oral testimony function as regenerative tools that produce continuity between past traumas and present struggles.
