Ali Sardar Jafri's "Morsel": Exploring Intertextuality through/In Translation

It follows the footprints of I.A. Richadrs, famously known as the father of Practical Criticism. This write up is the outcome of a comprehensive deliberation and discussion in classroom with students, who provided their inputs as how they interpret the translated text and also equated the similar stances across the genres. Therefore, the text, Ali Sardar Jafri's "Morsel" undertaken to analyze, is an attempt to employ Reader Response Approach that serves as a pedagogic tool, most helpful and frequently resorted to in classroom situations. In the process of having dyadic experience, two conclusive aspects surfaced: 1) That readers (the students) did not merely consume the text passively but were actively involved in constructing a meaning out of it. 2) That the part played by the readers (students) in drawing the meaning can by no means be ignored in the literary understanding of the text in this paper.
