Memory, Nostalgia and Exilic Identity in Behrouz Boochani’s No Friend but the Mountains
Behrouz Boochani’s No Friend But the Mountains: Writing from Manus Prison (2018) exemplifies the resilience of memory and nostalgia in the face of systemic oppression. Written under extreme duress and mediated through digital communication, the text serves as both an act of survival and a cry of resistance. This paper explores the interplay of memory, nostalgia and digital media in Boochani’s narrative, focusing on how these elements subvert cens…
Murder Offline and Online
This study examines the evolving nature of epistolary narratives in the digital age by comparing traditional and e-pistolary storytelling techniques in two contemporary crime novels: Janice Hallett’s The Appeal and Attica Locke’s Bluebird, Bluebird. Employing a theoretical framework combining digital narratology (as developed by scholars like Marie-Laure Ryan and Janet Murray) and media-specific analysis (proposed by N. Katherine Hayles), the res…
Navigating the Spectrum
El Deafo, written by Cece Bell, is an illustrated visual narrative that is both visually captivating and depressed, offering readers a rare glimpse towards the experiences of the hard of being heard. The perceptive autobiographical fiction begins with a four-year-old Cece experiencing meningitis, which causes her sense of hearing to be impaired. With the help of her reliable hearing support, the Phonic Ear, Cece navigates a universe that is desig…
Beyond body and gravity
Donna Haraway views being a cyborg rather than a 'goddess' desirable. This feminist slogan can be seen in terms of the democratising power of a hybrid identity facilitated by technology as a substantial alternative to traditional notions of gendered identity. This paper aims to study S. B. Divya's 2021 novel Machinehood to analyse how technology and identity are tied up in the context of the novel. The paper benefits from the insights from critic…
Voicing the Subaltern
Priya’s Shakti is a 2014 progressive and ingenious graphic novel by Ram Devineni and Dan Goldman that has half-and-half spiritual power, feminism and activism to grapple with the theme of sexual violence in India. The paper probes into the interchange of mythical voice and empowerment by applying the theory of Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak’s postcolonial feminism. Using the concept of Spivak’s “Subaltern”, the paper examines how Priya, the female pr…
The Strangling Fruit
The Anthropocene, a term marking the current geological era dominated by human activity, has become a central concern in contemporary literature, particularly in the context of ecological crises. Jeff Vander Meer’s Annihilation (2014), the first book of his Southern Reach trilogy, merges elements of ecological horror and gothic aesthetics to craft a narrative that mirrors the fears and anxieties of the Anthropocene. This paper examines how Vander…
Cyberthreats, Cyberbullying, and Cyberstalking
With the rapid evolution of digital technologies, the internet and social media platforms have become integral to modern life. However, these advancements have also given rise to new forms of harassment, such as cyberthreats, cyberbullying, and cyberstalking. Each of these forms of online abuse can have far-reaching consequences on individuals, particularly regarding their mental health and safety. This paper critically examines the nature, psych…
Textual Alchemy
Artificial intelligence is overhauling the publication and textual production. Textual production with Large Language Models (LLMs) is more sophisticated and closer to human knowledge production thanks to its autoregressive nature. AI models by OpenAI such as the Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) and its iterations use deep learning to produce more human-like text. Such texts invite all kinds of problems that are not new to the human t…
Crossing Borders
This paper explores dual identity, cultural displacement, and intergenerational conflict in Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake, a seminal work in diasporic literature. Through the lens of the protagonist, Gogol Ganguli, and his immigrant family, the novel captures vividly the struggles of navigating dual cultural landscapes, grappling with the alienation of being caught between tradition and modernity. Lahiri delves into the complexities of naming as a…
A Lacanian Exploration of Identity, Neurosis, and the Artist-Society Dynamic in James Joyce’s a Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
This study examines James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, focusing on identity development, neurosis, and the artist’s connection with society. Using Lacan’s psychoanalytic theory, the researcher investigates Stephen Dedalus as a subject navigating the complex dynamics of selfhood, desire, and social alienation. This paper explores Stephen’s changing identity, shattered sense of self, and internal conflict between societal standa…
