This study attempts to make a thematic analyse of W.H. Auden’s poem “Musée des Beaux Arts”, which touches on a number of significant issues, including the human condition and its struggles, the significance of art and culture in society, the contrast between the splendour of art and the ordinary reality of life, the fact that pain and suffering are an essential part of the human experience, the concept of the artist as a witness to the world, and so on. The study emphasises how powerful and thought-provoking Auden’s poem is, reflecting on the human condition and the place of art in society. It implies that the poem inspires readers to consider their own tragedies, suffering, and the function of art in the face of such realities. Additionally, it clarifies that the poem is Not only about beauty and historical art, but also about humanity’s hardships and the role that art plays in understanding and recognising those challenges.
本研究试图对W.H.奥登的诗“mus des Beaux Arts”进行主题分析，这首诗触及了一些重要的问题，包括人类状况及其斗争，艺术和文化在社会中的意义，艺术的辉煌与生活的平凡现实之间的对比，痛苦和苦难是人类经验的重要组成部分，艺术家作为世界见证者的概念，等等。这项研究强调了奥登的诗是多么有力和发人深省，反映了人类的状况和艺术在社会中的地位。这意味着，这首诗启发读者思考自己的悲剧、痛苦，以及面对这些现实时艺术的功能。此外，它阐明了这首诗不仅是关于美和历史艺术，而且关于人类的苦难以及艺术在理解和认识这些挑战方面所起的作用。

Supernatural presence is something that has been widely acknowledged in Shakespeare’s Macbeth. There issupposedly an abundance of paranormal activity and eeriness in this play. In fact, it is not an over statement to say that paranormal events drive the action in this play. However, with increasing discoveries and broader horizons made available by scientific advancement in 21st century, the supernatural still stands relevant? If so, what has rendered it its contemporariness? A study conducted by Shane Rogers and his team from Clarkson University in the United States observed similarities between paranormal experiences and the hallucinogenic effects of fungal spores (Dagnall Neil, The conversation). This might explain why both Macbeth and Banquo sighted the witches, having been exposed to the same weather conditions which were conducive to the growth of fungi, i.e, “thunder, lightning and rain”. And all the remaining sightings were the fragments of Macbeth’s disturbed mind. However, if the dramatist had intended to eliminate the paranormal interest, he had not designed three scenes, solely devoted to the agents of supernatural or evil, which were the witches.

Abstract Cultural Hegemony though a term from Marxist philosophy certainly goes beyond the much explored field of Marxism into the submerged realm of human psychology. Centuries, decades and years of multicultural influences often lead to cultural assimilation. However, as per Carl Jung’s theory Collective unconscious is always present to guide an individual’s way for cultural resistance. The present paper explores the same in the play Colour Struck written by American Novelist Zora Neale Hurston who is best known for her novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God.

In terms of emancipation, gender equality, female individuality and identity have become prominent themes in Indian feminist writings in the recent decades. The literary canon is dominated by men in most post-colonial countries. Patriarchal intellectuals did not pay serious attention to early feminist writings and ridiculed their radical ideas regarding women's freedom. It has become a natural social evil that a woman should not think about her freedom in India. This paper explores journey from subjugation to emancipation of Indian woman. Before independence of India, the Indian woman is not given higher education, not given social and political rights, not given economic security and she has to be dumb to ask anything for her existence. Unlike men, Indian feminist writers have been able to shine their subtle talents in the literary world. Indian feminist writers gave a new spirit to the Indian woman with the inspiring works of radical female protagonists in their novels. These works gave Indian woman new ideas, socio-political rights and economic freedom and she gained great confidence to stand with a man to show her influence in all walks of life.

Harmonizing the concerns of geo-cultural claims posited against the ‘melting-pot’ ideology of multicultural societies is a challenge for negotiating a cultural identity. Dominant strains of geo-cultural identities often involve problematising structures such as language, ethnic identity, territorial autonomy, environmental concerns and immigrant rights. This paper seeks to explore Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss for representing the polarities through the sketches of diverse cultural entities whom she conjoins in the mesmeric ‘culture-space’ of the novel. The characters, Jemubhai, Sai, Gyan and Biju, traverse the liminal thresholds of cultural identity within and between the geo-cultural and multicultural space.

Brothels are restricted spaces for individuals who follow and praise the societal norms of morality. But these spaces also give easy access to the patriarchal society to suppress women since they do not fit into the so-called “respective” roles in society. Brothels are usually viewed as spaces for men to fulfill their desire for sex, enhancing their masculinistic peculiarities. Women are always suppressed in these sexual acts as they are viewed as derogatory subjects and forced to subjugate under men. The Bollywood movies have created a series of narrations portraying brothels where the above peculiar characteristics are reinitiated and represented. Contrary to this, the movie Begum Jaan portrays a brothel negating all the stereotypical understandings of it, as argued in the paper. To prove this, the paper views the Brothel in the movie as a “heterotopia,” keeping in mind the concepts related to gender, power, and space itself through qualitative analysis.

Mohan is a man who plays a dominant and leading role in the family. Jaya is dependent on him as a married lady, wife, and mother.Mohan controls her personal and professional life decisions.

Gautam Chatterjee, Dr. Achala Sharma
At times when the world ready for transformation with deconstruction, Nobel Laureate Doris Lessing (1919 – 2013) is an author whose wholistic vision and prophetic voice is much needed for understanding collective errors of Human beings. The present paper analyses one of her Novels Shikasta where she uses medium of science fiction for showing us the path we have chosen and our impending doom due to that. Furthermore, the analysis is also aimed to show how Lessing uses literature to highlight the issues of colonialism, pollution, population, and draws a subtle connection between them. The paper aims to show Lessing’s views on misguided, unmanaged scientific growth and evolution.
