PROTEAN IDENTITIES AND INVISIBLE BORDERS IN HARI KUNZRU’S THE IMPRESSIONIST

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses some strategies of legitimating national (postcolonial) identity in the context of globalization and of the new sociopolitical changes. It focuses on India as a model of a pluralistic nation prone to cultural inclusiveness and eclecticism, where the negotiation of identities is in full swing, operating through post-representational techniques and functioning according to the politics of post-ethnicity. The text chosen to illustrate all these aspects is Hari Kunzru’s The Impressionist.
