The paper titled, Role of Gender Essentialism in the world of children showcases how gender roles are planted in the minds of young minds. Gender Essentialism involves the stereotypical practices which were followed from ancient civilizations, without analyzing and discarding the toxic elements behind it. It involves the idea that certain ideas as of chastity, patience, virtue, gentleness are the feminine trends while anger, pride, ego, attitude are viewed from a male angle. This paper does try to bring out the gender politics which is seen in society as a social manipulation game transformed by the mainstream media.
这篇题为《性别本质主义在儿童世界中的作用》的论文展示了性别角色是如何在年轻人的头脑中被植入的。性别本质主义涉及古代文明所遵循的刻板做法,而没有分析和抛弃其背后的有毒元素。它涉及到一些观念,如贞洁、耐心、美德、温柔是女性的趋势,而愤怒、骄傲、自我、态度是从男性的角度来看待的。性别政治在社会上被视为一种被主流媒体改造的社会操纵游戏。

Portrayal of R.K. Narayan’s ‘The Man-Eater of Malgudi’ as an Allegorical Novel: An Overview 纳拉扬寓言小说《马尔古迪的食人者》的描写

This article deals with R.K. Narayan’s The Man-Eater of Malgudi as an allegorical novel. An allegorical story tries to entertain the reader through theuse of extended metaphor in which characters, plot, abstract ideas represents not only moral lessons but also explains story hidden underneath. In R.K. Narayan’s The Man-Eater of Malgudi, the author has profoundly used allegorical element to explain the relationship between Natraj and Vasu. Natraj, a welltodo printer of the town lives his life peacefully but he gets outraged with the arrival of Vasu. Vasu is just like Shakespeare’s Lago in Othello who is an embodiment of self-destruction. He has been called the Man-Eater of Malgudi who tries to suppress the innocent lives of Malgudi. The author has used the mythological term,‘Bhasmasura’ to explain the demonic attributes of Vasu. He kills innocent animals, seduces women, threatens people of Malgudi and seeks pleasure out of it. He considers himself as supreme figure which leads him to his doom. R.K. Narayan through Vasu’s character has highlighted that who are prideful will bring about their self-destruction. In allegorical view, the author has depicted the sad reality of modern society where people like Vasu try to squash the innocent people.
本文将R.K.纳拉扬的《马尔古迪食人魔》作为一部讽喻小说进行分析。一个寓言故事试图通过使用扩展的隐喻来娱乐读者,其中人物,情节,抽象的概念不仅代表了道德教训,而且解释了隐藏在背后的故事。在R.K.纳拉扬的《马尔古迪食人魔》中,作者深刻地运用了寓言元素来解释纳特拉吉和瓦苏之间的关系。纳特拉吉是镇上的一名印刷工,过着平静的生活,但他对瓦苏的到来感到愤怒。瓦苏就像莎士比亚《奥赛罗》中的拉戈一样,是自我毁灭的化身。他被称为马尔古迪的食人者,试图压制马尔古迪无辜的生命。作者使用了神话术语“Bhasmasura”来解释瓦苏的恶魔属性。他杀害无辜的动物,引诱妇女,威胁马古迪人民并从中寻求快乐。他认为自己是导致他走向灭亡的至高无上的人物。R.K. Narayan通过Vasu的角色强调了骄傲会带来自我毁灭。作者以讽喻的视角描绘了现代社会的悲惨现实,像瓦苏这样的人试图压制无辜的人。

Manual Scavenging and the Issue of Untouchability in Mulk Raj Anand’s Untouchable 手工行窃与穆克·拉吉·阿南德《贱民》中的贱民问题

Untouchability is an evil social menace, where certain group of people are discriminated or alienated based on their caste, class or job from the mainstream sections of the society. Untouchables are the most oppressed and marginalized people, who often lack right and voice in the public domain. Manual scavenging is considered or treated as a job attributed to the untouchables of lowest strata of the society. These people are not given any dignity due to their job of carrying human waste using their bare hands. Mulk Raj Anand presents the sufferings and hardships of an untouchable boy named Bakha as a manual scavenger faced in the casteist society through his well known novel Untouchable.
贱民是一种邪恶的社会威胁,某些群体因其种姓、阶级或工作而受到歧视或与社会主流阶层疏远。贱民是最受压迫和边缘化的人,他们在公共领域往往缺乏权利和发言权。手工拾荒被认为或被视为社会最底层的贱民的工作。这些人由于徒手搬运人类排泄物的工作而没有得到任何尊严。穆克·拉吉·阿南德(Mulk Raj Anand)通过其著名小说《贱民》(untouchable),讲述了一个名叫巴哈(Bakha)的贱民男孩在种姓社会中所面临的体力拾荒者的苦难。

Ephemeral are Gay Gulps of Laughter’: P. B. Shelley, Louis Macneice, and the Ambivalence of Laughter 《短暂的是快乐的笑声》:P·B·雪莱、路易斯·麦克尼斯和《笑声的歧义》

Ambivalence is the hallmark of Shelley’s poetry, but the ambivalence of Shelley’s often underappreciated wit remains a relatively uncharted area of critical exploration. The characterization of laughter as ‘heartless fiend’ – or ‘heartless friend’ – in Shelley’s sonnet ‘To Laughter’ underscores this very ambivalence while also spotlighting the sociality of laughter. Drawing upon the ancient Greek ambiguities of laughter as socially divisive and socially integrative, laughter in Shelley’s poetry vacillates between ostracizing bursts and harmonizing glee. This essay explores the ambivalence of Shelleyan laughter and its echo in the poetry of Louis MacNeice, prompted by the modern poet’s early interest in ‘a comparison of Shelley & Nietzsche & a deification of laughter’. MacNeice’s realist leanings remain coloured by Romantic predispositions throughout his career. With attention to Shelley and MacNeice’s Classical backgrounds, this essay reveals how Shelleyan laughter echoes throughout MacNeice’s poetry and, in its ambivalence, unveils the extent to which identity is unfixed for both poets.
矛盾性是雪莱诗歌的标志,但雪莱经常被低估的智慧的矛盾性仍然是一个相对未知的批判性探索领域。在雪莱的十四行诗《致笑》中,笑被描述为“无情的恶魔”或“无情的朋友”,这突出了这种矛盾心理,同时也突出了笑的社会性。雪莱诗歌中的笑在排斥爆发和和谐欢乐之间摇摆不定,这是由于古希腊对笑的社会分裂和社会融合的模糊性。本文探讨了雪莱笑的矛盾心理及其在路易斯·麦克尼斯诗歌中的回响,这是由于现代诗人早期对“雪莱与尼采的比较&笑的神化”的兴趣。在他的整个职业生涯中,麦克尼斯的现实主义倾向仍然受到浪漫主义倾向的影响。本文关注雪莱和麦克尼斯的古典背景,揭示了雪莱的笑声如何在麦克尼斯的诗歌中回响,并在其矛盾心理中揭示了两位诗人的身份在多大程度上是不固定的。

Moving between Politics and Aesthetics in Zadie Smith’s Shorter Forms 从扎迪·史密斯的短篇小说看政治与美学
IF 0.3 3区 文学 Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-09-07 DOI: 10.1093/english/efaa013
M. Eagleton
Zadie Smith’s shorter forms – the short story and the essay – have received much less critical attention than her five novels. As an approach to these shorter forms and, specifically, to Smith’s interest in politics and aesthetics, I consider, in various ways, the notion of ‘moving between’. In the introductory section, I discuss Smith’s comments on the characteristics of the two forms, namely the association of the short story with feeling and the essay with the intellectual or analytic, and Smith’s repeated claim that she fails in both forms. In each of the following two sections, a short story and an essay are paired. The context is the period from 2016 to 2018 in the USA and the UK. In the first pairing, the essay, ‘Getting In and Out’ (2017), and the story, ‘Now More Than Ever’ (2018), the focus is the fevered debate around identity politics and political correctness, and a punitive use of social media. The second pairing, ‘Fences: A Brexit Diary (2016) and the story, ‘The Lazy River’, is, self-evidently, about Brexit. In these texts, we see how a sense of aesthetic possibility and intellectual freedom confronts a prescriptive politics; how Smith draws the reader’s attention to problems of political divisiveness in her use of pronouns, figures of speech, and catchphrases; and how, sometimes, her aesthetic response can sit awkwardly alongside her political principles. In the range, interest, and provocativeness of Smith’s short stories and essays, the reader is led to question her claims of incompetence.
扎迪·史密斯的短篇小说——短篇故事和随笔——受到的批评远远少于她的五部小说。作为这些较短形式的方法,特别是史密斯对政治和美学的兴趣,我从不同的角度考虑了“在两者之间移动”的概念。在引言部分,我讨论了史密斯对这两种形式的特点的评论,即把短篇小说与情感联系起来,把散文与智力或分析联系起来,以及史密斯反复声称她在这两种形式中都失败了。在接下来的两个部分中,每个部分都有一个短篇故事和一篇文章配对。背景是2016年至2018年的美国和英国。在第一组文章《进出》(2017)和故事《现在比以往任何时候都重要》(2018)中,重点是围绕身份政治和政治正确的激烈辩论,以及对社交媒体的惩罚性使用。第二组作品《篱笆:脱欧日记》(篱笆:A Brexit Diary, 2016)和故事《懒河》(The Lazy River)显然是关于英国脱欧的。在这些文本中,我们看到审美可能性和思想自由是如何面对规范性政治的;史密斯如何通过使用代词、修辞格和口头禅将读者的注意力吸引到政治分歧的问题上;有时,她的审美反应会与她的政治原则尴尬地并存。在史密斯的短篇小说和散文的范围、兴趣和挑衅中,读者被引导质疑她声称的无能。

Reclaiming a Transgender History: The Intertextual Life of Charlotte Charke 重拾跨性别历史:夏洛特·查克的互文生活

Feminist historians and eighteenth-century scholars alike have employed strategic essentialisms of identity categories like the sapphic to reclaim the historical presence and agency of social groups whose histories have been erased (or obscured) under patriarchy. Methodologically, strategic essentialisms enable the speculative alignment of eighteenth-century figures with contemporary identity categories even though such categories may not have been constituted as such at the time. Works like Susan Lanser’s Sexuality of History exemplify the use of strategic essentialisms to retain a phenomenological position in relation to power structures without assimilating historical figures into contemporary identity constructs.1 Though work like Lanser’s exists for lesbian and gay identities, similar work has yet to focus on the intertextual experience of transgender embodiment, despite the fact that scholars have recently argued that the lack of a speculative transgender/transsexual history in the West has led to the problematic interpolation of so-called ‘third genders’ across the globe through a Western (largely white) lens.2 In this article, I seek to construct and employ a strategic essentialism of Western trans embodiment and experience to reconstitute the historical presence and agency of individuals whose unique experiences align in degrees to transgender identity today.3 I argue that the intertextual experience of Charlotte Charke with her multi-faceted identities and roles, her resistance to pseudo-histories, as well as her negotiation and generation of origin narratives and embodied borderlands, constitutes a phenomenology of intertextuality and serves as a viable starting place for the (re)construction of a lost, Western transgender history.
女权主义历史学家和18世纪的学者们都采用了身份类别的战略本质主义,比如萨甫派,来重新确立那些在父权制下被抹去(或模糊)历史的社会群体的历史存在和作用。从方法论上讲,战略本质主义使得十八世纪人物与当代身份类别的推测性一致成为可能,即使这些类别在当时可能还没有被构成。苏珊·兰塞的《历史的性》等作品举例说明了战略本质主义的使用,在不将历史人物同化到当代身份结构的情况下,保留了与权力结构有关的现象学地位虽然像兰瑟这样的作品存在于男女同性恋身份的研究中,但类似的作品还没有关注跨性别体现的互文体验,尽管学者们最近认为,西方缺乏对跨性别/变性历史的推测,导致了通过西方(主要是白人)的视角在全球范围内插入所谓的“第三性别”的问题在这篇文章中,我试图构建和运用一种西方跨性别体现和经验的战略性本质主义,以重建那些独特经历与今天的跨性别身份在一定程度上一致的个人的历史存在和代理我认为夏洛特·查克的互文性经历,她的多重身份和角色,她对伪历史的抵制,以及她对起源叙事和体现边界的协商和生成,构成了互文性的现象学,并为(重新)建构失落的西方跨性别历史提供了一个可行的起点。

Philosophical Reflection of Life in William Shakespeare’s “All the World’s a Stage” 莎士比亚《世界是一个舞台》对人生的哲学思考

Life is not a bed of roses. It has its ups and downs. A man has to move through different phases during his life time. Shakespeare compared the entire world to a stage in his poem, “All the world’s a stage.”. We all are mere players in this stage of life. Shakespeare presents a philosophical reflection of life in “All the world’s a stage.” He exhibits each stage undergone by a man, during his course of a life time. The seven stages of encompass infancy, childhood, boyhood, adulthood, middle age, old age, second childhood. All the materialistic happiness and reputations are secondary as death will capture everyone in the end; death is the great conqueror.
人生并非一帆风顺。它有起有落。人的一生要经历不同的阶段。莎士比亚在他的诗《整个世界是一个舞台》中将整个世界比作一个舞台。在人生的这个阶段,我们都只是演员。莎士比亚在《世界是一个舞台》中表现了对人生的哲学反思。他展示了一个人一生中所经历的每一个阶段。这七个阶段包括婴儿期、儿童期、少年期、成年期、中年期、老年期和第二个童年期。所有物质上的快乐和名誉都是次要的,因为死亡最终会俘获每个人;死亡是伟大的征服者。

The novel Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, theme depicts the philosophy of existentialism. Existentialism argues the existence of humans through freedom of choice of the existence of who or what to become. The Robinson Crusoe character’s struggle to realize his freedom of life and defend his existence exemplars the existentialism. Robinson was adamant to his fathers’ advice and went to the sea. This paper discusses the characteristics of existentialism evident in the novel Robinson Crusoe. These aspects include the essence of existence, existence precedes essence, human alienation or estrangement, Fear and Trembling Anxiety, The Encounter with Nothingness, and Freedom. The relationships between existence and freedom of choice in human life establish the fact on augmentation of existentialism, as seen in Robinson Crusoe Character.
丹尼尔·笛福的小说《鲁滨逊漂流记》以存在主义哲学为主题。存在主义通过自由选择成为谁或成为什么来论证人类的存在。《鲁滨逊漂流记》中人物为实现自己的生命自由和捍卫自己的生存而进行的斗争是存在主义的典型。罗宾逊坚持父亲的建议,下了海。本文论述了小说《鲁滨逊漂流记》中明显的存在主义特征。这些方面包括存在的本质、存在先于本质、人的异化或隔阂、恐惧与颤抖的焦虑、与虚无的相遇和自由。生存与人生选择自由之间的关系为存在主义的发展奠定了基础,如《鲁滨逊漂流记》中的人物形象。
