Gender Performativity: Reading Mahasweta Devi?s Draupadi and Luisa Valenzuela?s Other Weapons In this paper I propose to read and discuss two short stories, Luisa Valenzuela?s Other Weapons and Mahasweta Devi?s Draupadi under a comparative spectrum. This apparent unlikely comparison from two distinct social, political, linguistic and cultural paradigms, as diverse as Latin America (Cuba?) and Bengal, is the result of my curious attempt to decipher Laura and Dopdi on the lines of Judith…

The Challenges of NW Zadie Smith’s novel NW, like Small Island, seems to be seeking to bring about a greater sense of solidarity among English subjects. Its style of development, fragmented just as is Small Island’s uses varied narration in each chapter and broken pieces of plot which the reader must gather together and it would seem that it would equally invite readers to empathize, sympathize and unite as a nation, yet this does not happen, in spite of talented writing and excellent reviews…

Naturally, the birth of a new genre in literature, had brought within itself a new point of perspective on life and the essence of living. If early narratives had been a chance to escape the realities of life, the new genre was totally opening the curtains to the real world. Being exhausted of the fairies, gods, monsters, or heroes of the medieval literature and the rebirth of classicism on the Renaissance stage, a thirst for stories of common people, for real place and time, had been emerged.…

Many novels are open to various interpretations, The Plague by Albert Camus is an example of a novel through which different levels of meaning are created within its pages.

detail shot here too. This is clearly a symbol of Estella’s way of life. It is a beautiful enormous cage, but it is still a cage, the bird, as Estella are not free. But actually the color green is overused and omnipresent that has no emotional or narrative significance within the film. The color palette does lend a dream atmosphere quality to the…

the protagonist, in fact through it all that’s the only thing it’s consistently about. Other films that tell the story of a person’s life are usually focused on one section of a person’s life, even cradle-to-grave biopics usually hinge on some narrative fulcrum. This film, however, makes no pretensions of having a conventional plot, and in this regard it surpasses even Citizen Kane in the biopic subgenre. Whereas in Kane there is a pretense to find out about Charles Foster Kane, and the search…

eastern end of the island, quite far from other areas, Ken Loach does the work of decentralizing the Irish narrative from Dublin or Northern Ireland’s Belfast (as opposed to Hunger, Some Mother’s Son with their lead characters of Bobby Sands in Belfast, another city). Instead, Ken Loach navigates the telling of an Irish story through a more socialist lens instead of a straight nationalist narrative. Even so, the film ends up heavily sympathizing with characters who do commit murder, even of…

is nothing like the effortless, ethereal image painted onstage. I first started dancing when I was four-years-old. It was a passionate affair that ended abruptly by the time I was eight. However, even after quitting, I knew that I still possessed a love for dance that went beyond superficial reasons. With this in mind, I pursued other mediums to continue learning about ballet. My mind was a sponge and I absorbed whatever I could get my hands on. I…

It was once said, “The art of the storyteller is to hold the attention of the readers.” If a novelist is able to grab the attention of the readers, they can easily convey ideas and themes represented in the story successfully to its’ readers. For instance, Zora Neale Hurston is considered to be a brilliant writer, who has the ability to form a storytelling chain within her novels and to “render a world complete with its codes and disciplines within a few sentences” (Danticat). This is shown in…
