Masochistic Performance of Scheherazade
This study attempts to highlight the embedded masochist aesthetics supporting the masochistic patterns in a Pakistani short film Prince Charming (2021), directed by Sheheryar Munawar Siddiqui, a Pakistani actor, film producer, director and television host. The focus remains on female protagonist, Scheherazade’s performative masochistic proclivities in an unsatisfactory marital relationship. This research takes Freud’s notion of repetitive compuls…
Fetishizing of the Ghost in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet
Freudian investigation of the unconscious has reasonably altered the interpretation of Shakespeare’s seminal work, Hamlet. This research paper analyses the notion of ‘Fetishism’ with reference to Shakespeare’s eponymous play, Hamlet. During the course of this study, an attempt has been made to establish that the Ghost in the play is a conspicuous representation of the psychoanalytic fetish of Hamlet. Moreover, the unconscious motivations that und…
Sidney’s Eurocentric Polemic
from the perspective of contemporary Postcolonial Critical Theory. The treatise under discussion exposes the conceptual underpinnings of European modes of thought, unwittingly projecting a colonial discourse. We have identified such elements from the selected treatise that support such a perspective. This has been carried out through textual analysis of the text that underscores the 'us/them' dichotomy rooted in Sidney's ideological formations. T…

In order to chart out the stages of such a journey, this research does a thematic analysis of Hesse’s masterpiece, Siddhart…

Literary adaptation is a process, which reproduces the pre-existent literary piece of work into a series of altering characters, settings, actions, and storylines. Adaptations of canonical texts of great authors such as Shakespeare had won the universal dignity. By using Hutcheon’s adaptation theory, this research aimed to scrutinize the impact of the transcultural adaptations of Macbeth as Raees by Government College University Dramatic Club, La…
