- More about Weaving Words, Shaping Worlds: Intertextual Echoes and Reader Evaluation in Pakistani Anglophone Fiction
Intertextuality as an Evaluative Strategy in Pakistani Anglophone Fiction explores how Pakistani Anglophone novels engage with prior texts to shape meaning, reinforce themes, and position narratives within larger ideological frameworks. The author argues that these literary references, whether historical, religious, or cultural, are not neutral but serve evaluative and often subversive functions. Using corpus-assisted discourse analysis, the book uncovers patterns in how authors like Kamila Shamsie and Nadeem Aslam incorporate and reframe existing texts. It highlights how certain motifs and allusions are repeatedly employed to construct narratives that align with or challenge dominant hegemonic discourses. The study also examines how these references contribute to thematic ghettoization, reinforcing a recurring mold within Pakistani Anglophone fiction.
