Essentialism

Also, multiplicity of language is a large piece in this deconstructive setting. For example: having a dog as a nanny challenges the essentialism of nanny/caregiving. This shows that a female dog can take better care of the family than possibly a man could. Also, the thimble and acorn switch signifiers to signify one another. This shows that both words have the same meaning, but are different…

According to Easthope, the concept of hybridity could be generally understood from three aspects—“biology, ethnicity and culture” (Easthope 341). Its etymology, “hybrida” that derives from biology, means a “genetic component”—two species could produce the offspring inherited some characters from, but not being any one of, both species. Its ethnical meaning refers to “an individual ‘having access to two or more ethnic identities’,” which, in Easthope’s sense, has its own limitations, for it…

I have hundreds of reasons why I needed feminism, and how I have become a better person because of it. Due to feminism, I have gained more confidence in a healthy body image, a greater understanding of my sister’s sexual orientation, and a greater moral compass. I would never want to go back to a world…

Epics in India and elsewhere have always been a rich reservoir of tales. Time and again, different perspectives emerge from the re-readings of these ancient tales, inspired by the challenges thrown up by the vicissitude of contemporary life.

The most important feature of postcolonialism is a shift in the dominant ways in which relations between Western and non-Western people and their worlds were…
