- Description
- Dinshaw considers her autobiographical "queer diasporic experience" as a "pale Indian" in light of the representations of conversion, otherness, and paleness in MLT and the generally unnoticed presence of Indian influences on early English studies. She offers her meditative analysis to encourage other medievalists to challenge the assumptions that underlie "rationalistic, post-Enlightenment" notions of temporality.
