Dátum:	2017
Megjegyzések:	Suhayl Saadi's Psychoraag (2004) has received critical acclaims for its redefinition of Scottish identity and merits as the first Scots Asian novel, presenting Glasgow as a postcolonial territory reterritorialized and hybridised by the Pakistani diaspora. The hybridity of space and identity is most apparent in the novel's extraordinary narrative style, as well as in its unique blend of various languages, cultural and musical references. In reading the protagonist DJ Zaf's musical journey through times and spaces, I investigate his hybrid local-regional identity, manifested in language and in his self-positioning as a Scot, a Glaswegian and a Pakistani, in accordance with the situations he finds himself in and with the song he is currently playing. The second focal point of my analysis is the ♭transfusion' of his self, that is, identity formation through music, and the possibility of a transcendent self, existing in sound and silence. I argue that Zaf meets the challenge of hybridity through language and music, his primary means of self-expression, which may harmonise ♭the atonal choir of his life' and allow a performative self-identification as ♭the man ae a thoosand tongues.'
