Lost in Lost Highway: A Psychoanalytic Reading of Lynch’s Lost Highway
This review article provides a thorough psychoanalytic exploration of David Lynch's Lost Highway, a film celebrated for its intricate narrative and surreal imagery. Utilizing Freudian and Lacanian theories, the analysis investigates the film's themes of identity, trauma, and the unconscious. The protagonist's disjointed journey through fragmented realities serves as a case study in the manifestation of repressed desires and fears. By examining th…
The Inimitable Sociologist: Revisiting Georg Simmel's Seminal Texts
In 1858, Georg Simmel was born in Berlin. The conflicts of Germany's unique road to modernity were best exemplified by that metropolis. Financial speculation and rapid urbanisation fueled Berlin's ascent to global prominence. While a young proletariat (Georg Simmel) fought the government and the bourgeoisie for political and economic rights, an avant-garde cultural elite coexisted uncomfortably with the central European aristocracy. The landed Pr…
Of Wine and Steak: Reading Gustatory Signs/Signifiers in Roland Barthes’ Essays
Roland Barthes’ Mythologies perhaps has the singular distinction of having baffled scholars of semiotics/cultural studies or anyone who has taken an interest in the history of French colonialism and its nefarious influence on the ‘empire’ (Algeria, in particular). This article despite its limitations, intends to demystify/unravel some ostensibly innocuous ‘culinary predilections’ in vogue (during the 1950s-1960s and in some cases even germane to …
Archetypal Criticism: A Brief study of the Discipline and the Sempiternal Relevance of its Pioneers
1957 "which redirected American literary theory away from the close reading of New Criticism and towards the larger meanings of literary genres, modes and archetypes." (Drabble 386). Regardless of the critical evaluation, he stressed on a value-free science of criticism. Frye in most of his works elaborate a comprehensive map of the literary universe in a schematic series of classifications
Reading in the Time of Corona (A Panacea for the Pandemic)
The stacks of unread books in my cabinet have always disturbed me in one way or the other. They remind me, time and again, that I have fallen back on a promise that I had made to an old friend who encouraged me to take up literature despite my family's predilection for medical-engineering fields. When my relatives and teachers seemed disconcerted and disappointed at my decision, she exhorted me to take the road less travelled (at least, in India)…
The Dark Side of GTA: Chinatown Wars
Wars is an action-adventure videogame, developed for a console meant for teenagers. However, the videogame drew flak for its inclusion of certain controversial mini-games and missions involving drugs like cocaine and heroin. This short essay/review will focus on the corruptive influence of something as trivial as a videogame and how it works insidiously as a lure to a world of crime, which young minds find irresistible
Kinship navigator program development: Listening to family, youth, and advocate voice
Kinship caregivers are relatives or close friends who assume caregiving responsibilities due to a variety of unexpected (and sometimes traumatic) circumstances. While many kinship care arrangements happen outside the child welfare system, kinship care also forms an increasing percentage of all child welfare placements and is distinct from traditional non-relative foster parenting. Kinship placements can promote family and cultural continuity and …
