TRAUMA, MEMORY, AND POSTMIGRATION NARRATIVES IN CONTEMPORARY DIASPORA LITERATURE

Abstract

This article examines the interrelation between trauma, memory, and postmigration narrative structures in contemporary diaspora literature. Drawing upon interdisciplinary frameworks from литературоведение, культурология, and психолингвистика, the study explores how diasporic authors reconstruct individual and collective identities through fragmented memory and trauma-infused storytelling. The research employs qualitative textual analysis of selected works by prominent diaspora writers to identify recurring narrative strategies, including temporal dislocation, hybrid linguistic expression, and mnemonic reconstruction. The findings demonstrate that postmigration narratives function not merely as literary expressions but as cognitive and cultural mechanisms of negotiating identity in transnational contexts. The article argues that trauma and memory are not only thematic elements but structural principles shaping diasporic discourse.
