Narrating the story of subalterns in the third space
The objective of this paper is to investigate the artworks of Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige and Lawrence Abu Hamdan from the post-colonial point of view. In order to do so, two installations that were displayed at the Venice Biennale in 2015 and 2019 were examined. This research aims to investigate post-colonial studies in contemporary art. To accomplish this aim, this paper employed post-colonial studies that are related to historical res…
Learning and reproductive health
BACKGROUNDUnderstanding the relationship between early learning and later fertility preferences and knowledge could yield important lessons for public policy in both the education and health sectors. METHODSWith data from the Young Lives study in Ethiopia, we use linear regression models to evaluate how reading and numeracy skills during middle childhood (age 8) and early adolescence (age 12) affect sexual and reproductive health (SRH) knowledge …
Characteristics of Islamic Calligraphy
The investigation on Islamic calligraphy, particularly Nasta‘liq calligraphy, mainly focuses only on the history of calligraphy, calligraphers’ biographies, and calligraphy’s origins and training. No significant or pervasive research has been done on the identity or characteristics of the calligraphy forms and their traditional principles. Fewer studies have examined the visual character of calligraphy academically or considered it a research sub…
Acanthus and Mughal Architecture
The widely recognised historical ornament acanthus was used in South Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe, and other ancient civilisations. Historic civilisations frequently employed symbols and ornaments in their architecture to represent a specific subject matter or the aesthetic value or aspect of the ornamental elements for aesthetic and conceptual purposes. However, this study aims to explore the Western influence of acanthus on the architecture of …
Psychoanalytical Study of the Gendered Eurocentric Sociosymbolic Dynamics in Morrison’s The Bluest Eye (1970) and Whitehead’s The Nickel Boys (2019)
Racism is the stereotypical societal belief of individuals' categorization based on their ethnicity and colour Within this context, this paper is concerned with psychoanalytically probing the gendered dimensions of racial oppression and resistance to it in predominant postcolonial white America with reference to Morrison's "The Bluest Eye" (1970) and Whitehead's "The Nickel boys" (2019). For this purpose, this paper has utilized Fanon's (1952) ca…
The effects of negative economic shocks at birth on adolescents’ cognitive outcomes and educational attainment in Malawi
We provide new evidence of the association between moderate negative economic shocks in utero or shortly after birth and adolescents' cognitive outcomes and educational attainment in Malawi. This is one of the first studies to analyze the effect of not one, but multiple moderate negative economic shocks in a sub-Saharan African (SSA) low-income country (LIC). This focus is important as multiple economic shocks in early life are more representativ…
Spiritual Aesthetics of Islamic Ornamentation and the Aesthetic Value in Islamic Architecture
Islamic architecture, a form of Islamic art, contributes significantly to portraying God Almighty's supremacy. In Islamic art, there are numerous ways to place emphasis on this architecture; one of which is through high aesthetic value. In Islamic art and architecture, the greatest extent of ornamentation and motifs probably describe aesthetic values. Islamic ornamentation serves as a platform for delivering information about Islam's culture incl…
Social norms, agency, and marriage aspirations in Malawi
OBJECTIVE: We evaluate whether community norms, caregiver beliefs, and adolescents' own beliefs and perceptions, focused on early marriage, predict adolescent marriage aspirations in a low-income context. BACKGROUND: The processes that contribute to adolescent marriage aspiration formation have received little attention in low-income contexts, particularly sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding how marriage aspirations are formed is important because …
High Hopes, Low Dropout
The relationship between aspirations and educational outcomes has been underexplored in sub-Saharan Africa. Drawing on six waves of panel data from the Malawi Schooling and Adolescent Study, I use discrete time models to examine the relationship between aspirations for both education and marriage, and school dropout in Southern Malawi. Results show that, net of sociostructural constraints and students’ own educational experiences, girls who want …
