Deep Reinforcement Learning for Dance Pose Optimization
Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has become an effective framework of sequential decision-making in high-dimensional and complex control problems, but little has been done to apply it to expressive human movement. This work is a unified DRA algorithm to optimize a dance pose, which an intelligent agent is trained to produce the smooth and stable dance pose and aesthetically compose a pose in a simulated kinematic environment. Generation of dance…

Cancer narratives, communitas and liminality
The present study is based on the qualitative exploration of Cancer narratives through the lens of Liminality, the theory that was proposed by Arthur Van Gennep. It was further explored by Victor Turner. The Cancer narratives also show that the cancer patients go through a mental condition called pre-liminal, liminal and post-liminal stages. The liminal stage proves, "a neither here nor there," kind of stage. The study also aims at finding out th…
Cyber bullying and its impact on youth
In this current scenario the Internet has been the most reliable source for every age group. But since humans can take any form to achieve their target which sometimes can be negative such as ruining the lives and reputation of others for revenge, jealousy, and hatred, they have also started in Internet which is Cyberbullying and due to Covid-19, the compulsory quarantine and isolation has made half of the citizens unproductive. Thus, spending a …
Effects of post Covid-19 lockdown on educational pedagogy
Background: The end of 2019 marked the beginning of the global pandemic COVID-19. With this global issue, all the fields of society became stagnant. The education system is no exception to it. Education sector suffered as students were sent back to homes and schools, colleges and universities were shut down. But steps were taken and the education teaching system was shifted from offline to online mode. This research project examines the education…
Illusionary Homelands’ and In-Between Identities
The influence of colonialism and the emergence of globalisation have gradually induced a mixed culture that neither can be attached to the innateness of the traditionalist attributes of the home country nor the foreignness of the Western idiosyncrasies. Though not directly clipped into the identity of a diaspora in spatial existence, the residents in the country also experience an equal or more departure in the context of perpetuating the traditi…
Carnivalesque, Liminality and Social Drama
The cultural and ritual performance of Theyyam in Northern Kerala, considered as a reflection of the war cry against the caste system and oppression, conducts subversion of the social hierarchy. The chosen deity by the performer for a transitory symbolisation expresses the collective outrage of the oppressed and exploited people. This research paper enquires about the anti-structural characteristics exhibited by the performance of Theyyam. In the…
Humans, Animals and Habitats
With the equal treatment of binary oppositions related to environmental concerns, the hypocrisy of human beings continues to dominate on earth having no counterpart to compete except the ones within the same race. Intruding into the unexplored habitats has helped the race to expand their jurisdictions, often with the exercise of power and unrivalled exhibition of uniqueness. This qualitative research paper aims to interpret the environmental conc…
