ABSTRACT

D. H. Lawrence novels depict men and women characters in a broad based theory. As a genre of literature, the novel has always been reflecting life in part or in its entirety. It has never been more so than in the 20th and 21st centuries, as a powerful mouth piece of human feelings and emotions. D. H. Lawrence is a novelist, short story writer, poet and essayist. D. H. Lawrence is known for his frequently misunderstood, basically idealistic ideas about sexual relation and for his interest in primitive religion nature and mysticism.

ABSTRACT

Samskara spins around the moral dilemma and anxiety of a traditionalist, Praneshacharya, in taking a decision on whether it is technically rights to perform the funeral rites for a person born in the Brahmin community but an outcast in his character and behaviour, or not. Amidst making a decision, the unexpected physical union with Chandri, Naranappa’s concubine, further complicates the issue. This in fact leads to an  inner rebellion that tosses Praneshacharya’s mind this way and that. However, he regains  his equanimity and find an orientation to his life by carefully making a decision. The plot of the novel has a parallel to  the lives of the other Brahmins in the Ghetto.

ABSTRACT

Arun Joshi is one of the prolific Indian writers to discuss dilemma and rootlessness of his heros in the conflicting socio-cultural environment of their societies. The novel, The Last Labyrinth,  due to it's execution of fantasy of sensual and spiritual, gives the readers a fantastic experience of reality. The image of labyrinth is both ancient and modern concept which literally means the intricate and convoluted paths that usually make the intruder confused and bewildered. In Joshi's sense, it is a sense of loneliness, confusion and a feeling of being trapped. The protagonist, Som Bhaskar, who is lonely, estranged and isolated is obsessed with various forms of labyrinth. Strangely, he suffers from disappointment, an ambiguous frustration, inadequacies and emptiness which he call 'voids'. In fact, the image of a labyrinth in the novel is closely associated with Som Bhasker, his world and his unsuccessful attempts to disentangle the secretes of life, love, death and divinity. The novel assumes more a fantastic dimension in Som Bhasker's communication with an antique women, Anuradha at Lal Haveli, a feudal like mansion in Benaras. But his fantasy for Anuradha becomes a reality with her disappearance leaving him engrossing on the futility of human situation.

ABSTRACT

In Indian writing in English fiction has occupied a significant place because of the novelist’s vivid portrayal and clear expression of various hurdles and problems faced by the Indian women.  The contemporary Indian fiction writers often explore the conflict experience of their protagonist who suffers between tradition and modernity. They also depict how women struggle not only against aggressive male domination but also against the social, cultural and religious oppression prevalent in the modern society. The struggle to lift the curtain of unequal relationship and wipe out the unseen tear from the eyes of woman is the most formidable challenge of our time.  Especially the feministic writers examine the marriage bond through their works because of the total transformation of socio-cultural terms...

ABSTRACT

There are many theories on English as second language teaching or foreign language teaching. The cognitive-code approach of the 1970s emphasized that language learning involved active mental processes. Lessons focused on learning grammatical structures but the cognitive code approach emphasized the importance of meaningful practice, and the structures were presented inductively, i.e. the rules came after exposure to examples. There was, however, little use of examples from authentic material.

Key words: ESL, meaningful practice, grammatical structures ....etc.

ABSTRACT

The spiritual giants are the most tangible form of divinity through which people find solace in difficult times. Their biographies perpetuate their memory as well as promote devoutness and spirituality. Biography of saints is again becoming popular nowadays. It also throws light on the problems in writing a biography of a saint because most of the drama of a saint’s life is lived within; and charting the inner dimensions of a saint has always been a challenging task.  Such studies are often inspired by veneration instead of deep understanding.  On the other hand, there may be a biography written by a detractor in which sublime ideals and transcendental thoughts are trivialized. This becomes evident if we do critical appreciation of some famous biographies. Ramakrishna, who, more than a century after his death continues to dominate secular Hindu consciousness, was a key figure in what is considered to be the Hindu Renaissance of the 19th century. His biographies will be used to show the wide range of perspectives - from abjectly critical to totally objective to rank idolatry - – taken up by the authors...

ABSTRACT

Self-reflexivity is the way of looking on or indicating the relationship of oneself. The works of Arun Joshi is the reflection of his life and culture in India where no one forget the inheritance of his mother nation. All novels of Joshi are replete with the love and the attachments of once own country and its cultures. The characterisation of his works is purely indulged in the Indian ethos. Joshi has portrayed the real life of his own country in his works which we can see in the attitudes of characters and their actions in the different sphere of lives. Arun Joshi lived abroad but mentally he is here in the mother land and at the same time he has developed in his work and infused the same language in the characterisations of his novels. An Indian never forgets his/her mother land and he/she never loses attachment of culture and language. We can assess the situation in which the central character of The Foreigner namely Sindi Oberi and the Billy Biswas in The Strange Case of Billy Biswas. The self-reflection in the characters of Arun Joshi’s novels give enough proof of social and cultural society of India. There are various things by which we can identify through their conditional recognition. Joshi has put everything that the life is possible only in peaceful and contented way, which we don’t find in the congested society but in the prosperous and suitable society like India. Joshi has shown that India has rich cultural and social values in its ancient era that’s why he has portrait the interest of primitiveness in the character of Billy Biswas. Joshi has also presented another view of prosperous and satisfied in his own society which is enough proof given in the characterisations of novels like The Foreigner and The Strange Case of Billy Biswas. The purpose of this research paper is to prove that Arun Joshi has depicted the civil society of his own country.

Satellite dishes, cable connections, have bridged both time and space one can see the events happening in the world sitting in his drawing room alive.

Theodore Savory defines, Translation is an ‘Art’ and Eric Jackbson says it is as “Craft”. J.C. Catford suggested. “Translation is an operation performed a language, a process of substituting a text in one language for a next in another that is form source language to target language. The translator has to make a balance between maintains close fidelity to the original. Translation is neither “Transliteration” nor “Transcreation”. The importance of translation lies in the fact that it brings the readers writers, and critics, of one nation into contact with those of others not only in the field of literature alone but in all areas of development: science and medicine, philosophy and religion, medicine and so on. Thus, translation helps in the cause of nation building. So let us tee the flow translation is important in modern 21 century.

ABSTRACT

It has been observed that the students of Telugu medium at the UG level always face communication problems in both the vernacular and English. The problems, moreover, are not restricted to only the oral component; their writing skills are also equally poor. As a result, the performance of these students in academic and other co-curricular activities is well below average which eventually mars their employability chances. In the present scenario, thus, communication skills, in both written and oral forms, hold the key for securing better jobs and carving out successful careers and general need for global communication is even more. The very basic medium of communication, i.e. languages, has remained largely ignored in comparison with the specialized subject areas in all types of syllabi at the UG level.

ABSTRACT

Mulk Raj Anand is one of the three great Indian writers of fiction writing in English. He is India’s most controversial novelist. He was born in Pesawar, now in Pakistan, but then in the North-West Frontier Province of India. An important aspect of Anand’s fiction is its concern with the reality of organized evil. In all his novels he appears as a social critic. The society he has seen and observed is the field of his work. His writings probe deeply into the social process. For him ‘literature is an expression of society’ and the large majority of the questions raised by him are social questions: questions of tradition and convention, norms and genres symbols and myth. Anand’s two novels Coolie and Two Leaves and a Bud deals with the problem of poverty which is an evil in the whole human society, particularly more in India. Gangu, the protagonist, represents the labor class, and Munoo, he suffers the same fate of maltreatment and mortification everywhere. Anand’s hero’s arouse pity, compassion and understanding in the end. Anand idealizes the whole man as he has said that his media as a writer were “the memory and imagination” and the substance of his work became “the whole man and the whole gamut of human relationship, rather one single part of it.” Hence man alone can fashion forth his happy world free from superstition, bigotry, caste, class, capitalism, exploitation, tyranny, fascism, war, genocide etc. which make mankind miserable. This will help man to acquire a true vision for rescuing humanity from disaster.

ABSTRACT

Listening, the very basic language skill is consistently interrelated and intervened with the other language skills - speaking, reading and writing. The challenges towards teaching listening are now better understood because of the new strategies contributing to effective listening and moreover the widespread availability of technology supports the language learners in enhancing their listening skills. Still, the assessment of their listening skills, remain far behind the current views of listening and hence innovations to be made to renovate the teaching or learning of listening. This paper deals with the prime importance of listening in language acquisition and the challenges in attaining listening competence and suggests some strategies to overcome it. Second language  listening is a complex process, crucial in the development of second language competence. Listeners use both bottom-up processers and top-down processes to comprehend. Knowing the context of a listening text and the purpose for listening greatly reduces the burden. Teachers can help students develop sound strategies through a process approach to teaching Language listening.

ABSTRACT

Motherhood and mothering is a recurring problematic in the recent minority and feminist theories. The surge of critical text such as Nancy Chodorow’s Reproduction of Mothering (1978), Adrienne Rich’s of woman Born: Motherhood as institution and experience (1976), Marienne Hirch’s The Mother/Daughter plot: Narrative, Psychoanalysis, Feminism (1989), Susan Rubin Suleiman’s “who one is”. Encounters with contemporary Art and Literature (1994), and Susanne Danuta Walters lives together/world Apart (1992) testify indubitablly to the growing inteest in the study of motherhood. Recent psychoanalytic, sociollogical, and  feminist perspectives have proved most useful in analyzing the representations of motherhood. Growing up in a working-class household in the 1950s, historian Carolyn steedman revealed that her mother’s economic problems and the absence of  husband made her recentful and exasperated with motherhood and therefore, chodorow’s traditional nurtuting role model. Joseph cautions against viewing conceptions of motherhood and mother-daughter relationships, from white feminist psychoanalytic theoretical perspectives. Further, she suggests that motherhood and mother daughter reationships can be best discussed within the context of history and cultural difference instead of through an isolated analysis. Mother and child relationship that have strongly influenced the existing perceptions of motherhood.

ABSTRACT

In early days there was no building for schools. They were following their Guru where ever he moves. So they learned the realities to lead their life from nature. Later education was meant only for privileged high-class people. Nowadays education is brought under a building, either arranged separately or according to their course. They were arrested in a room for a certain period which they name as the school. The structure of a classroom should be changed as students feel they are not free and are bonded like prisoners. Classroom system should have more air and lighting with differently structured seating arrangements. This paper deals with how a language classroom should be designed.

ABSTRACT

Drama being an audiovisual medium of expression has been a very effective and powerful genre in the world literature. Indian Drama has development of drama from Greece, Roman, England and India give special importance upon the fact that is has always been an included as part of a whole culture, highlighting and value of moral commitments, religious convictions, philosophical approaches, and social and political changes in various countries. The origin of Indian drama can thus be traced back to the Vedic period. The long history of thousand years, Indian drama is a unique phenomenon in the literary world. The nature of English drama changed once again, from being other art from the European life style, to put on display Indian culture and tradition and spread the ideas of freedom, and after independence it is being a broader representation of the social political and economic life of the country. Girish karnad is the most celebrated media personality in the contemporary India, most important playwright and a very skilled practioner of the performing arts. His drama are mostly written in kannada and then decoded into other languages. The English translations of his plays are his own. He has enhanced the Indian fictional scene by his involvement to art, culture, theatre and play. But the most essential contribution which he has made to Indian English drama is his effort to get back the cultural and mythological rich tradition of the Indian past. In his plays we find that he goes back to the roots and tries to renew the local culture and tradition. India is a post-colonial nation having its own distinctive culture and colonial histories. It is also multicultural in character in that it has a strong presence of indigenous traditions, culture and ethos which are unfortunately submerged and dominated by the imported culture of Europe. Girish karnad is one such dramatist who makes an attempt to recover the treasure of culture and tradition.

Keywords:  Indian Drama, Colonial Histories, Freedom

ABSTRACT

As we all know that the development of English Language as a separate idiom began when Germanic tribes- Jutes, Saxons and Angles, occupied the low-lands of Great Britain and when the invasions from the continent discontinued (449-700). The dialects spoken by the settlers in England belonged to the Great Germanic (Proto-Teutonic) branch of the Indo-European language family.

ABSTRACT

John Maxwell Coetzee is a South African novelist and a winner of the Noble Prize for Literature in 2003. He is the first writer to win the Booker Prize twice; for Life & Times of Michael K in 1983 and again for Disgrace in 1999. J.M. Coetzee is remarkable for bringing Apartheid to global attention. Themes of poverty, crime and bloodshed foreground the post- apartheid literature. Coetzee faces the problem of cultural authority. Being a white South African writer he faced the problem of representing the black population in his novels. He needed to be extra careful in implementing racial divides into a fictional work. The present paper seeks to study the quest for identity in the novel Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee. Identity is pivotal for the existence of humans. The novel Disgrace is set in the post- apartheid period which was poles apart from the apartheid era. There was a metamorphic change in the socio-political life of the people of South Africa. The old system was replaced with the new one. Although the new government which came to power talked about equality among all but the reality was otherwise. The atrocities and racial discrimination faced by the black people by the hands of white people were avenged in a bitter manner. Power and powerlessness bring about alienation, identity crisis and revolt. The present novel shows the struggle of a white man David Lurie and his daughter in the quest of their lost identity being the victim of racial revolt and sexual assault.

ABSTRACT

In history, throughout the world women have made an important and direct contribution to the economic support of the family. This contribution has always included the processing of food, cleaning and dwelling. Due to the expansion of economy, industrialization and growth of science and technology with the increase in cost of living, the elaborate mechanization of household equipment, the desire to give higher education to children, have placed pressure on the earning power of male members of the family. Especially in the early years of formation of new families during which men’s earnings would be comparatively low, and during the time that major household equipment is purchased, the strain on many one income families is severe, which in turn, forced women to work a additional bread winner or sometimes as sole supporters of the family. This paper is motivated to see influence of employment on women’s status.

ABSTRACT

With the dawn of human civilization we evolved a pivotal way and systematic pattern for communication which we all know as language. In fact, invention(discovery) of language is a prominent signature in the history of human inventions and cultural evolution. Our language has scientific approach and abundant of words for specific emotions, temper and situation. This is human nature as well to name everything what he or she encounters in life. This might have triggered the beginning of organizing our thoughts and ideas in to words which are meant to be spoken. But there are lot of other different languages also do exist in our life and around us as well. This paper is a sincere attempt to explore and study languages which are beyond words. They exist in form of signs as Ronald Barthes told us and sometimes they are hidden and we need to decipher the meaning. This paper is exhaustive while making a study, there may be some more languages which I could not find but my aim is just to stimulate and encourage more scientific study on the subject which completes our life and life style too. I have tried to study the language of fashion in clothes, language of roads and language in nature.

The line is universally acknowledged that pen is mightier than the sword, but Steinbeck’s pen is mightier than many swords. Since Aristotle the master of wide subjects, up to the current writers, pen has been the correct weapon both for exposing the conditions of the prevailing society and also for finding remedial steps for getting rid of the ills which beset therein. Most of the writers criticize the society, but Steinbeck’s maximum works explicit about the social realism of his age.

ABSTRACT

The communication is perception product that is improved with feedback. The ancient Greeks considered important the communication for the social cohesion, the democracy, the justice, the education of young people and citizens. The newer and modern writers elect the communication tool of approach and people management – information - scientific knowledge - products - economic and commercial transactions, problems, populations, cultures and reading of sentimental signals. The directed communication in the human relations creates positive psychosocial environment in the working place, education administration, etc. The achievement of effective communication needs knowledge, dexterities, powerful will and people respect. The culture of human communication in the new digital – communication environment is necessary in individual – common – labor – teacher – administrative level for the peace, the growth of populations and the maintenance of human values

ABSTRACT

The aim of this paper is to critically analyze the representation of an “orient” in David Henry Hwang’s M. Butterfly. In this drama, gender, racial and imperial discourses intersect and Hwang has been successful in deconstructing these traditional discourses and exposing the fictitiousness of stereotypical image of an orient harboured by the ‘West’. The drama employs postmodernist aesthetics and brilliant theatrical techniques to foreground the deconstruction of traditional representations that follow. Traditionally ‘East’ has always been misrepresented by the west. This misrepresentation is the result of an essentialist view based upon gender and racial discourses. The play also shows how national entity narratives are internalized and adapted in the construction of the individual subject.  

Key Words: Orientalism, Race, Gender, Identity.

ABSTRACT

The tragic vision of Edward Albee is very different from the masters of classical tragedies. In the classical drama, tragedy was related to the persons of higher class like kings, queens, generals and courtiers or some other members of the upper class. The reasons of meeting the tragic fate in the classical heroes and heroines were also the serious issues of life. The tragedy occurred either because of hamartia or caused by divine interventions. In the twentieth century the human life is also faced with the serious issues that bring a crisis of different nature, and this crisis in human life is related to the consumerist, materialistic and individualistic social system.

ABSTRACT

In this chapter we have investigated unsteady oscillatory free convective  heat transfer through a viscous fluid is a porous medium confined in a vertical wavy channel with quadratic density temperature variable. The unsteadiness in the flow is due to an oscillatory flux in the fluid region with quadratic density-temperature variation. The equations governing the flow and heat transfer have been solved by perturbation technique with d, the slope of the wavy walls as a perturbation parameters. The velocity and the temperature have been analyzed for different variations of the governing parameters G, R, D^-1,a, b, x and t. Also the stress and rate of heat transfer are evaluated numerically for different variations of the parameters.

Keywords : Porous medium; Vertical wavy channel; Quadratic temperature variable; Oscillatory flux; Perturbation technique.
