Title of the paper : Fictional Reimagination of the Partition: Ms. Marvels Teleportation Through Time and Trauma

Abstract: This paper dissects the depiction of the India Pakistan Partition in the 2022 Disney web series, Ms. Marvel. It argues that Ms. Marvel offers a unique and relevant feminist intervention in pop cultures portrayal of the Partition. This study highlights the role of Ms. Marvel as a new age adaptation to explore the lasting effects of trauma. The shows focus on the Djinn, being displaced by Partition, adds a fresh layer of meaning. By portraying these creatures as deeply impacted by the historical event, Ms. Marvel expands the scope of who and what can be considered victims of Partition. This analysis aims to contribute to a broader conversation about the role of pop culture in representing historical realities, particularly those often silenced or marginalised. Does Ms. Marvel pave the way for a more responsible engagement with complex historical events within mainstream narratives Through this question, we can gain a deeper understanding of the power and limitations of pop fiction in shaping our collective memory and knowledge of the past, especially with reference to women. This research contributes to the growing body of scholarship on the representation of the Partition in popular media, while also offering a novel perspective on the superhero genres ability to engage with historical trauma.

Keywords : Ms. Marvel, gender studies, partition, memory, trauma, and Djinn.
