Steven Vertovec suggests that the “dimensions of everyday transnationalism” are located in a range of
\nsocial practices and institutions that links immigrants to their homeland (61). Homeland food is a marker
\nof transnational identity as well as a vehicle for transcultural memory: the preparing and consuming and
\ncirculating of such food are significant social practices through which multiple dimensions of everyday
\nnationalism emerge. The increase of transnational and transcultural flows has also witnessed a
\ncomplementary increase in online and offline mobilisations of homeland recipes—and the stories
\nembedded in and around them—through food-blogs and culinary memoirs-cum-cookbooks. This paper
\nproposes to explore the manifestations and mobilizations of transnational memories, identities and
\neveryday practices through food in the culinary memoirs of the Bengali-American writer Chitrita Banerji,
\nfocusing on three of her works: The Hour of the Goddess (2001); Bengali Cooking: Seasons and Festivals
\n(2007); and Eating India: Exploring a Nation’s Cuisine (2007). Consciously writing for a transcontinental,
\nmulticultural readership, Banerji engages with Indian—and especially Bengali—food in a deeply personal
\nway. Yet, as she writes in her website, food is her “primary medium” for narrating stories of her
\nhomeland, “a story of arrivals, encounters and assimilations — a process during which natives and
\noutsiders shaped each other’s lives in and out of the home” (http://www.chitritabanerji.com/food/). This
\ncomplex and enmeshed memorialization of the personal and the cultural in her culinary memoirs allows
\nBanerji to reclaim personal and cultural homeland stories and histories and also, through the sharing of
\nrecipes, to expand and provide a toolkit for socializing similarly-situated immigrants. Reading food through
\nthe lens of everyday transnationalism, this paper hopes to investigate how Chitrita Banerji’s writings
\nnegotiate the shifting and layered meanings of the personal, the local and the global.

\r\n", "page": "postScriptum: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Literary Studies (online, open access, peer-reviewed, DOAJ Indexed; ISSN: 2456-7507) is a bi-annual journal of Humanities & Social Sciences, published in the months of January and July every year at http://postscriptum.co.in
\r\n\r\nIn spite of being an afterthought, appended to the script, post scriptum is always an integral part of the script. Post scriptum is often the space for revisions, modifications and alterations of the original script.
\r\n\r\nLiterary discourses are but the reflections of our engagements with the literary works. Being post scriptum in the literary sense – scripted after the script – such discourses sometimes prove themselves to be the rightful appendices of the scripts through revisions, modifications and alterations.
\r\n\r\nThis online journal is just an endeavour to bring to light some such post scriptum discourses.
\r\n\r\nThe interdisciplinary nature of this journal accommodates literary discourses that deal with literary representations which have sprouted from original scripts or, maybe, never had a script so to say. The emergence of nonscriptural literary works is gradually taking us towards a postscriptum era. Being online in publication nature, this journal also strives to capture the essence of this postscriptum era.
\r\n\r\npostSciptum aims to provide connoisseurs, scholars and academicians a space for publishing popular, research and academic discourses involving several intersects of literary studies.
\r\n\r\nThe interdisciplinary nature of literary studies, in recent times, is evident not only in its incorporation of the socio-cultural idioms in its regular discourses, but also in its acknowledgement of several nonscriptural forms that have emerged in recent times. The scope of postScriptum encompasses the multifaceted socio-cultural aspects reflected through the prism of scriptural and nonscriptural mediums of literature in general.
