The politics of magical realism in Gloria Naylor’s Mama Day
A Theory for Cultural Resistance: The Cases of L. M. Silko’s Ceremony and L. Erdrich’s Tracks
One critical issue facing subaltern cultures is how they react to the process of cultural assimilation. This article aims to analyze the characters in Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony and Louise Erdrich’s Tracks, to see how they interpret and react to the “social norms.” The novels offer counter discourses that try to resist, negate, and put in suspense the nodal points of the dominant culture. When exposed to the hegemonic discourse, the subaltern…
The wretched of the panoptic city: An evaluation of the spatial power in JM Coetzee’s Foe
This article explores Michel Foucault’s heterotopia and Fredric Jameson’s cognitive mapping in JM Coetzee’s Foe (1986). It also finds links between social colonialism and socio-spatial identities within the terrain of the cities of London and Bristol. The paper thoroughly examines the crucial role of cities in shaping the spatial identities of the main characters in the novel. The urban space of London and Bristol is the third space for Susan and…
The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien and Shahnameh by Firdausi: A Sadraic Interpretation of Free Will and Determinism
Fate, doom, and free will have always proved to be controversial terms among philosophers. The chief problem is whether a deterministic power prescribes the destiny of creatures or they possess pure free will in shaping their destinies. Mulla Sadra, a 17th century Iranian philosopher, believes in a blending of determinism and free will which he develops in the terms of Qaza and Qadar respectively. He introduces a model of fate through which deter…
The rhetoric of freedom in Lorraine Hansberry’s play
Lorraine Hansberry’s The Drinking Gourd has been subjected to systematic censorship and silencing after it was written for NBC. Being politically suggestive of system disruption, it is regarded as a challenge to the political life of America in the 1960s. It, however, is more than political content. It enacts an aesthetics that sets in motion content and language. Not only is it interventionist and disruptive on the level of content but this cont…
Post Colonialist Features of Lorraine Hansberry’s Les Blancs From the Viewpoint of Henry Louis Gates
Henry Louis Gates has taken Saussure’s term “signifying” and redefined it as a linguistic wordplay which postpones the delivery of meaning and believes in “double-voicedness”, this means to speak both the language of the dominant culture and that of the subordinated one. He also asserts “double-voicedness” as the epitome of “Signifyin (g)”. This paper intends to apply the notions of “Double-voicedness” and “Signifyin (g)” on the manuscript of Les…
A Farewell to Arms: The Clash of Love and Religion in the Character of the Priest
Investigating the interconnection between love and religion in Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms, in this article, the authors explore the conflictual nature of these concepts in the character of the priest. Harold Bloom cursorily remarks that the religious character of the novel, the priest, conveys the definition of love which is in contrast to lust and passion and Lieutenant Henry is greatly influenced by the priest. Here, however, we try …
The interconnection between nature and history in US ethnic magical realist novels
This article examines the interrelated reflections of (American) nature and history in six American magical realist novels mainly written in the 1980s.

Each of the storytellers in these novels has an ulterior purpose that in…
"Inquietando as Águas": A magia de relembrar o passado em Two Wings to Veil My Face, de Leon Forrest
Escrito durante décadas de intensos debates sobre a possibilidade de se recuperar uma autêntica identidade afro-americana, Two Wings to Veil My Face1 é uma reação contra os nativistas que defenderam e celebraram uma verdadeira identidade afro-americana. Os autores deste artigo ilustram a forma pela qual Leon Forrest implementou o realismo mágico para, metaforicamente, desvelar as vozes do passado há muito suprimidas, a fim de construir uma identi…
A Trip Down Memory Lane. Revisiting Persians National Identity in the Safavids Folktales

The authors develop a discussion concerning the customs and common interests of Iranians that are central to the construction of national identity as they are portrayed in oral folktales about Sh…
