Thomas Traherne’s Mystical Vision
Narrative Desecration
This article argues that The Satanic Verses does not merely depict offense; its form manufactures it. The author calls this aesthetic (narrative) desecration: formal strategies such as parody, metafiction, framing, and chronotopic fracture convert sacred signifiers (prophethood, revelation, devotion) into secular spectacle. The author also proposes temporal Islamophobia: representing Islam as out of time, belated, or excessive, relative to secula…
Regretting the ungrievable
This article argues that regret in The Corpse Washer is not a private sentiment but a politicized affective structure shaped by post-invasion biopolitics. Drawing on Judith Butler’s theory of grievability, this article reads Jawad’s mourning as a quiet protest, a fragile assertion of humanity amid the debris of imperial abstraction. Lauren Berlant’s concept of cruel optimism lends language to Jawad’s longing – for an elsewhere, a before, or perha…
Suspended Temporality
This article examines Susan Abulhawa’s novel Against the Loveless World within the framework of necropolitics and temporal studies, showing how time functions as a tool of colonial domination and a space for Palestinian resistance. I develop an integrated theoretical framework that combines Achille Mbembe’s concept of necropolitics, Elizabeth Freeman’s notion of chrononormativity, and my own contribution of “suspended temporality”, a condition in…
Islamophobia, Emotional Politics, and Postcolonial Legacy in Western Media
This study examines the ways in which Western media use postcolonial discourse and emotional politics to shape and sustain Islamophobia in the post-9/11 era. Through a qualitative analysis of media coverage by major news outlets in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States at four significant points in time (post-9/11, the July 7 London bombing, the kidnapping of German construction workers in Iraq, and the WTC plaza fire), this research…
Temporal Ruptures and Decolonial Resistance in Sahar Khalifeh’s Wild Thorns
This article examines Sahar Khalifeh’s novel Wild Thorns through the perspective of temporal disruptions as a means of decolonial resistance. Khalifeh’s text, situated in the Israeli-occupied West Bank post-1967 war, critiques colonial structures that constrain Palestinian existence and autonomy. This analysis employs Walter Mignolo’s concept of border thinking, María Lugones’ colonial/modern gender framework, and Elizabeth Freeman’s notion of ch…
Transcending Boundaries
This study aims to examine the transformative power of literature in challenging prevailing social norms and reshaping perspectives on migration, alterity, and cultural marginalization. Focusing on the novels Once in a Promised Land by Layla Halaby, The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri, and Exit West by Mohsin Hamid, the analysis examines the representation of the individual Other, challenging stereotypes, and highlighting the characters’ personal and p…
Violating positivist precepts
From Wedlock to Deadlock
By undertaking an investigation into the unexplored thicket of nineteenth-century ideology, this study reappraises the rationale behind Emma Bovary’s suicide. The historical examination in this article reveals that the doctrine of the separate spheres exerted a great influence on the lives of middleclass women. Furthermore, the practice of this doctrine resulted in the reinforcement of a rigid housewife/harlot dichotomy. As the upshot of such an …
Domination, Servitude and Commodity Fetishism in Harold Pinter’s the Homecoming
The struggle for domination clearly persists in The Homecoming as it does in almost all of Pinter’s works. Because of the vague atmosphere, enigmatic characters, and dark, tragicomic dialogue and action, a single decisive meaning for the play cannot be identified. Many character analyses have been carried out on the play, frequently focusing on Ruth and her decision at the end. Moreover, critics have sought to read the play in the light of psycho…
A Postcolonial Reading of Nikolai Gogol’s Taras Bulba
The sixteenth-century Cossacks became the favorite topic of Ukrainian authors of the nineteenth century who dealt with national and individual identity issues. Nikolai Gogol, the celebrated Russian author who had Ukrainian origin and was born in a Cossack village, wrote the epic romance of Taras Bulba, which narrated the story of Cossacks and their struggle for preserving their independence. While the work has been previously studied under the li…
Igbo Naming Cosmology and Namesymbolization in Chinua Achebe’s Tetralogy
Things Fall Apart, No Longer at Ease, Arrow of God and A Man of the People, the first four novels by Chinua Achebe, the contemporary Nigerian novelist, are among the most outstanding works of African postcolonial literature. As a matter of fact, each of these four novels focuses on a different colonial or postcolonial phase of history in Nigeria and through them Achebe intends to provide an authentic record of the negative and positive impacts of…

Half of the articles were written by native speakers of Serbian, and the other half by native speakers of English. The materials were extracted…

Gendered Representations of Male and Female Social Actors in Iranian Educational Materials
Culture and Gender Representation in Iranian School Textbooks
Voices of girls with disabilities in rural Iran
This paper investigates the interaction of gender, disability and education in rural Iran, which is a relatively unexplored field of research. The responses of 10 female students with disabilities from Isfahan indicated that the obstacles they faced included marginalization, difficulties in getting from home to school, difficulties within the school building itself, and discrimination by teachers, classmates and school authorities. The data colle…
