"Starved": How the Great Odisha Famine (1866) translates through colonial violences and famine into the diasporic body (creative works, critical study

我将讲述饥荒，特别是奥里萨邦大饥荒（1866），是如何在今天的流散体中表现出来的，并通过诗歌和纪实的混合作品来表达这一点。我还想通过创作一出声音戏剧来表达被压抑和缺席的声音，从而纠正历史上的沉默。大多数当代作家关注的是印度的分治，但我在英国的作品中没有看到专门强调这场饥荒的创造性尝试，这场饥荒主要是由殖民当局向英国出口活力作物造成的。我将探讨饥荒的生理影响；调查档案沉默；并在我自己的文本中翻译经典的、濒危的欧迪亚语。

I will address how famine, particularly the Great Odisha Famine (1866), manifests today in thediasporic body, and express this through a hybrid work of poetic and documentary auto-fiction.I also want to redress historical silences by creating an audio drama to vocalise suppressed andabsent voices.Most contemporary writers focus on India's Partition but I see no creative attempt in UK-basedwriting to exclusively highlight this famine, caused mainly by colonial authorities exporting vitalrice crops back to Britain. I will explore physiological effects of famine; probe archival silences;and translate classical, endangered Odia language within my own texts.
