Queer intimacy under constraint in Ruth Vanita’s A Slight Angle
This paper investigates queer intimacy under constraint in Ruth Vanita’s A Slight Angle , a novel that reimagines same-sex desire within colonial India’s disciplinary structures of pedagogy, domesticity, and social regulation. Drawing on Foucauldian theories of disciplinary power, Ahmed’s queer phenomenology of spatial orientation, and Halberstam’s framework of queer temporality, it examines how constraint paradoxically generates attachment and b…

The paper attempts to unravel newer ecosophical dimensions of posthumanism through the textual analysis of Ottupulackal Velukkuty Vijayan’s The Infinity of Grace (1987/1999). Posthumanism, a dynamic field of inquiry generally explored in the current context of “bio-, nano-, neuro- and info technologies” also refers to what Rosi Braidotti calls an “enlarged sense of interconnectedness between self and the other.” Braidotti, while reinventing the p…
A Reading of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale Based on Jasodhara Bagchi's Interrogating Motherhood: An Indian Radical Feminist Perspective
According to Jasodhara Bagchi (2017), "It is as a mother that a woman gains some agency". Contrary to popular belief, the womb is not an 'inert receptacle'; it can allow or prevent sperm invasion, but only when the woman can decide the same. The extreme onslaught of patriarchy and totalitarian supremacy in the Society of Gilead has resulted in the manipulation of motherhood. By proposing an alternate reality in which women's lives are controlled …
Self-Reflexivity in Baby Kamble’s The Prisons We Broke: A Phenomenological Approach

It reflects not only the author's personal experiences but also the people whom they meet in their lifeworld. In other words, it…
