Why choose this project topic?

This topic turns poetry criticism into a focused reading task by investigating competing meanings of home in poems about migration. A clearly bounded corpus gives you passages to compare and an argument to develop beyond a general plot summary.

What does a close analysis of a bounded collection of published Nigerian diaspora poems reveal about competing meanings of home in poems about migration?

Agree the corpus size, editions and critical framework for this study of competing meanings of home in poems about migration with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the textual features relevant to competing meanings of home in poems about migration.
  2. 02Build a documented evidence set from a bounded collection of published Nigerian diaspora poems.
  3. 03Analyse spatial images, pronoun shifts and address; test readings against poems that resist a simple home-away contrast.

A suggested research approach

Obtain lawful access to a bounded collection of published Nigerian diaspora poems. Analyse spatial images, pronoun shifts and address; test readings against poems that resist a simple home-away contrast. Establish selection criteria before detailed reading, record edition and page references, and test the developing interpretation against passages that complicate it.

What you will need

  • Lawful access to a bounded collection of published Nigerian diaspora poems
  • A reading matrix for competing meanings of home in poems about migration
  • Relevant scholarly criticism and a consistent citation system

Keep your project scope clear

Diaspora speakers in poems need not share the biography or views of their authors.
