Virtual Diaspora, Postcolonial Literature and Feminism
In this lecture, Dr Ashmita Khasnabish, will define “virtual diaspora” through reading and
rereading Western philosophers Deleuze and Bergson, and the Indian philosopher, Sri
Aurobindo. She further elucidates this concept interpreting it through her feminist vision as a
Postcolonial scholar who is greatly impacted by Pamela Sue Anderson’s theory of “vulnerability
and love.” Professor Anderson’s theory greatly valued Deleuze’s theory of immanence and it
impacted her feminist vision. This lecture is dedicated to the legacy of Professor Pamela Sue
Anderson, a distinguished Feminist philosopher and a much loved member of staff within
Regent’s Park College, within the University of Oxford.
