Abstract:
This research paper undertakes a comprehensive exploration of the intricate spatial and temporal settings within Githa Hariharan's novel Fugitive Histories (2009), seeking to unravel their profound significance and contribution to the narrative. The primary objective is to conduct a critical analysis of these dimensions, examining how the portrayal of diverse locations and historical periods enriches the storytelling. The methodology employed is rooted in critical analysis and literary theory, offering a nuanced understanding of the novel's contextual and temporal complexities. Beginning with an overview of the plot structure, character dynamics, and overarching themes, the paper establishes a contextual framework by delving into the historical backdrop against which the narrative unfolds. The analysis progressively focuses on spatial settings, scrutinizing their impact on character development and plot progression, and extends to unravel the temporal intricacies, exploring the creation of a multi-layered temporal landscape that adds depth to the storytelling. Literary theories, including postcolonial theory, feminist theory, and narrative theory, are applied to interpret the author's choices in employing these settings. Structured around key themes such as identity, memory, and cultural dynamics, the analysis argues that the diverse settings act as dynamic agents shaping characters' experiences and influencing thematic undercurrents. The findings contribute to Githa Hariharan's scholarship, offering a nuanced understanding of the interplay between spatial and temporal settings in Fugitive Histories (2009). The paper concludes that the critical analysis, grounded in literary theory, deepens our understanding of the novel's narrative complexities and contributes to broader discussions on postcolonial literature, feminist narratives, and storytelling intricacies.
