The bodies who tell stories: tracing Deleuzian becoming in the auto/biographies Iranian female refugees

The undercurrents of autobiographies can reveal more than
just stories to their readers. The entanglement of authors and
readers provokes the dialogic imagination and reproduces a
text beyond the book. I ask how this entanglement can be
addressed through notions of representation, subjectivity
and embodiment. The article explores auto/biographies of
two Iranian female refugees to trace the emergent process
of their dialogic voices. Their voices are followed through
their portrayal of body and home in transnational settings.
I read their tales of desire and sorrow while departing from
the Bakhtinian dialogic imagination to frame the narratives of
embodiment and home in the mode of Deleuzian becoming.
