This research paper delves into the thematic exploration of gender identity, female resilience, and the subversion of societal norms in Mahasweta Devi's collection of translated stories, Till Death Do Us Part. The collection spans over thirty years and encompasses five stories: "The Divorce", "The Saga of Kagaboga", "The Poet's Wife", “He, said Pani”, and, “Love Story”. In these narratives, Mahasweta Devi deviates from the conventional satirical and socially-critical writing style and shows extraordinary sensitivity in the portrayal of her characters. The stories are centered on the lives of five elderly women who struggle with several challenges and societal constraints. Simultaneously, they diligently explore unconventional approaches to contest prevailing norms and masculine hegemony. This research study aims to dissect these distinctive qualities in Devi's storytelling within the context of her collection, “Till Death Do Us Part”.
本研究论文深入探讨了马哈斯维塔-德维(Mahasweta Devi)的翻译故事集《至死方休》(Till Death Do Us Part)中关于性别认同、女性韧性和颠覆社会规范的主题探索。这本小说集跨越 30 多年,包含五个故事:"离婚》、《卡加波加传奇》、《诗人的妻子》、《他说帕尼》和《爱情故事》。在这些叙事作品中,马哈斯维塔-德维摒弃了传统的讽刺和社会批判的写作风格,在刻画人物形象时表现出了非凡的敏感性。这些故事以五位老年妇女的生活为中心,她们在各种挑战和社会束缚中挣扎。同时,她们努力探索非传统的方法,与现行规范和男性霸权进行抗争。本研究旨在结合德维的小说集《至死方休》,剖析她讲故事的这些独特品质。

Sam Shepard is not just a “western essayist”, but one who has the capacity to assess contemporary American culture through the symbols and topics of conventional Western American writing. His plays follow the liquidation of American society, in which characters are no more coordinated into their reality by adherence to habitual qualities and standards. Shepard raises the icons of this convention to send them slamming from a more prominent stature, delineates the whole-world destroying end of customary American society in which long-held qualities, especially those celebrated in Western American writing, are ceremonially exorcized to make space for some new, up till now unheard of America. Shepard’s plays don’t advance sequentially to these ends. Shepard, depicts the search for home within contemporary American culture. In this paper, we are focusing on Shepard’s selected plays to depict the failure of family reintegration into Home or Family. Shepard’s Fourteen Hundred Thousand (1967), The Unseen Hand (1972) and Mad Dog Blues (1972). Fourteen Hundred Thousand - is a play about Husband and Wife who tries to build a bookshelf. The Unseen Hand - is a play about Morphan brothers who lives far away from their home. Mad Dog Blues - this play is all about a couple of best friends who were unhappy with their misguided lives set off to discover a treasure.

Greek tragedy is a tragedy of fate that brings the downfall of the central figure. Greek playwrights were masters of storytelling and tried to bring purgation of human emotions. Man is indeed responsible for his prosperity and downfall, but no one can deny the role of destiny in man’s life. Sophocles was one of the greatest Greek Playwrights who produced considerable tragedies in Greek literature. Sophocles’ plays were performed on the stage during the ancient time. His most horrible tragedy is Oedipus Rex in which Sophocles presents the cruelty of destiny that brings Oedipus’s downfall. Ajax is a tragedy of the central character Ajax who is presented as a noble warrior in the play but his rivalry with Odysseus for the armour of Achilles invites his downfall. In Ajax, Athena, a Greek goddess is presented as a villain in the play. Athena blurs the vision of Ajax and makes him believe that he has killed his rival Odysseus and Greek leaders but later on, he comes to know that he has killed the innocent cattle under the influence of Athena’s false vision. When Ajax comes to know about his sin, he commits suicide at the end of the play. Athena’s deception brings downfall to Ajax.

Environmental fiction is one that deals with men’s social conditions, environment and nature. It is a study of relationship between man and nature. Man is always dependent on nature. He cannot live without it. Nature provides the means of livelihood to the human beings. Nature is mighty and powerful to man. Man has always tried to make a victory over nature, but it is very temporary or momentary. Nature always makes a balance, but if there is any kind of nature created by man, there is every time a natural imbalance between man and nature. For removing this imbalance, man always makes a compromise with nature. Nature is cruel and so, it is necessary to compromise with nature. Otherwise, nature will destroy all those things which concern man.

This paper examines how the protagonist of Julian Barnes’s novel The Sense of an Ending (2011), Tony Webster, reconstructs his past through memory and narrative. Tony, an unreliable narrator in his sixties, attempts to decipher the truth and meaning of his past through his fallible memory and limited and insufficient documents. The central argument of the paper posits that Tony’s narration of his personal history holds a comparable level of authority to that found in any traditional historical narration. Therefore, like a professional historian, his narration of the past employs the narrative strategy of emplotment to make his story coherent and persuasive. As Hayden White argued, a historical narration is parallel to storytelling and a historian employs ‘fictive elements’ to make the historical representation comprehensive and sympathetic to the target readers. The paper also throws light on the fragmented depiction of Tony’s past which is effectively linked to his struggle to fully comprehend and cope with his somewhat traumatic history. By incorporating the theories of Hayden White and Pierre Nora to explore the connections and differences between memory, history, and fiction in the novel. The paper contributes to the critical studies of Barnes’s novel by highlighting the ethical and epistemological implications of Tony’s interest in the past and self-historicization, providing a nuanced perspective on the novel.

Culture, a term with abstract meanings, can highlight Eastern culture's perceived spirituality over Western culture. Indian culture, with a 5000-year history, is captivating, blending adaptability and indigenous values. This paper focuses on ethnic life representation in Indian literature, especially through tribal communities. Novels by tribal authors serve as a platform, analyzing ethnicity in socio-cultural and historical contexts. Literature offers insight into lives, experiences, and teachings, shedding light on marginalized indigenous populations seeking recognition. Emerging literature lets indigenous ethnicities represent dynamic cultures and reclaim hidden histories. The paper's primary objective is to discuss the socio-political and cultural significance of tribal literature. It accomplishes this by analyzing tribal narratives from Kerala and Arunachal Pradesh, featuring works by authors like Narayan and Mamang Dai. These narratives delve into tribal identity and their struggles within the mainstream system. The paper provides an insightful examination of tribal life and society in these regions, as portrayed by these authors.

Journalists by profession are storytellers across mediums in different languages. After years of practice, many journalists, in the past and even now, step into the world of writing books, particularly life narratives like biographies and autobiographies. One of the reasons to choose the genre is their expertise, as journalists often meet people and unravel their characteristics in the profile and interview formats. Another reason is their ability to do research and delve deep into people’s lives. The present study picks up a few journalists at random who have authored biographies and autobiographies, and studies their approach to writing books and the craft of presentation keeping in mind their experience and expertise.

Poetry, despite the side-liningfaced due to the profusion of the novel, has made a comeback marking its genuine presence with its ability to combine the imaginative and the creative to project the real. Contemporary poetry, pluralistic, experimental and diverse in form encompassing the nature culture and history of the world has been drawing intense thematic and theoretical attention to itself. Myths play an important role in literature especially in expressing modernist tendencies as done by the twentieth century poet T S Eliot. Similarly, the former Poet Laureate of Britain, Carol Ann Duffy, has subverted myths to bridge the gap between the traumatic experiences of mythical women and the contemporary ones. The paper Transcending the Bounds of Temporality and Spatiality: Mythical Retelling of Femininity in Carol Ann Duffy’s The World’s Wife intends to portray how Carol Ann Duffy projects the problems of women through parading female characters from history, mythology and fairy tales. The technique of mythical subversion has helped her to dismantle the popular notions associated with women (self-sacrificing and self-effacing). The paper thus examines in detail, using the elements of myth criticism, the poems in The World’s Wife to find out the different facets of women presented by Duffy using mythical subversion.
诗歌,尽管由于小说的丰富而被边缘化,但它已经卷土重来,标志着它真正的存在,它能够结合想象力和创造力来投射现实。当代诗歌以其多元的、实验性的和形式多样的特点,囊括了世界的自然、文化和历史,引起了主题和理论的强烈关注。神话在文学中扮演着重要的角色,尤其是在表达现代主义倾向方面,如20世纪诗人艾略特所做的那样。同样,英国前桂冠诗人卡罗尔·安·达菲(Carol Ann Duffy)颠覆了神话,弥合了神话中女性的创伤经历与当代女性之间的差距。本文《超越时空的界限:卡罗尔·安·达菲的《世界之妻》中女性气质的神话再现》意在描述卡罗尔·安·达菲如何通过历史、神话和童话中的女性角色来展现女性的问题。这种神话般的颠覆技巧帮助她打破了与女性有关的流行观念(自我牺牲和自我谦卑)。因此,本文运用神话批评的元素,对《世间之妻》中的诗歌进行了详细的考察,以发现达菲运用神话颠覆手法所呈现的女性的不同侧面。
