Postcolonial Gothic: Hybridisation of Genres and the Dak Bungalow

Abstract

"Postcolonial Gothic: Hybridisation of Genres and the Dak Bungalow” discusses the emergence of Postcolonial Gothic as a genre and how it reconfigures the idea of ‘monstrosity’ within the identity of the colonised other. It traces the motif of the haunted house as it travelled to the Indian subcontinent with the British, and how it became a site for the cultural anxieties of the colonial experience.
