- Abstract
Diasporic narratives live a nomadic existence, wandering in the in-between space of core and periphery, with the final destination to be somewhere, at best, closest to the core and, due to the transnational cultural different, what we may call Semi-Periphery. Mandanipour combines the semiotics of words and forms to showcase the unattainability of the core literature for a diasporic process of thinking, subjects, and forms, all of which still function under erasure and censorship. This paper is going to study the resistance of a diasporic narrative, which both defies and is defied by the standard sets of the core of world literature. It focuses on the resistance is shown by the simultaneously present mechanics of typing and process of thinking in Shahriar Mandanipour's Censoring of an Iranian Love Story: A Novel.
