ALESSIA POLATTI published this work as part of a team: Polatti, Alessia. Here is a description of this work: The,,article considers the complexity of the concept of â€oehome†in Amitav Ghosh's novel The Shadow Lines (1988). I will examine how matters of migration and homesickness intersect a contemporary idea of a global borderless space, as well as the interrelationships and the exchangeability among topics like border, space, and home in Ghosh's work. I will demonstrate that different characters of the novel correspondingly embody different ways of perceiving home and themes of crossing-borders: the narrator's grandmother Tha'mma is the fictional representation of an ancient conceptualisation of borders and geo-localisation, while the narrator himself and his uncle Tridib are emblems of an innovative perception of space. Also, the relationships between characters consequently produce an idea of home in movement. This may lead to a significa.
