Abstract
Abstract This article analyses Firoozeh Dumas’s memoirs, Funny in Farsi and Laughing Without an Accent , to examine how Iranian-American homemaking is constructed as a dynamic, embodied and sensory process in diaspora life writing. Drawing on recent scholarship in diaspora studies, the sociology of home and life writing, the article introduces and develops the concept of ‘multisensory homing’ as an innovative interdisciplinary framework. This approach theorises diasporic belonging as materially constituted through everyday embodied practices—tasting, smelling, laughing—that go beyond symbolic or nostalgic models of home and extend existing spatial and temporal paradigms by centring humour and affective materiality. The discussion situates Dumas’s work in relation to classic and recent diaspora theory as well as Iranian-American humour and life writing, highlighting its distinctive intervention: a sensorially grounded focus on everyday resilience and cultural negotiation as an alternative to trauma-centric or political accounts, offering new insight into the relational practice of homemaking for migrants and minorities across contemporary transnational contexts.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
