The Analysis of the Ethical Dimension of Yumiko Kurahashi’s The Woman with the Flying Head
Get PDFYumiko Kurahashi’s short story The Woman with the Flying Head draws on the account of the "People with the Fallen Head" from the book “In Search of the Supernatural”, depicting the tale of the protagonist Rei whose body engages in adultery with her foster father at night while her head flying off to date another married man, and her daughter “I” decisively chooses to relinquish the right to love in order to break the curse of incest and immoral relationships between father and daughter. The narrative utilizes concepts such as ethical structure, ethical taboos, free will, irrational will, and ethical choices to reveal the novel’s structure and ethical implications, elucidating that my choice falls under the ethical choices of ethical literary criticism. It also points out, through the existentialist female writer Yumiko Kurahashi’s portrayal of the “me”, that the choices made are also existentialist in nature. Ethical choices and free choices complement each other, giving the novel dual ethical implications and reflecting Yumiko Kurahashi’s call for moral perfection and free independent feminist stance.
English Translation of Red Poppies From the Perspective of Translator’s Subjectivity
Get PDFBased on the perspective of translator’s subjectivity and with the help of text analysis software, this paper attempts to study the English translation of Red Poppies from three aspects: passivity, subjective dynamics and purposefulness.

In addition, Goldblatt’s translation also shows his purposefulness, which is helping readers understand the source text, and making the translation readable and acceptable. In short, through the analysis, it is found that as a translator, Goldblatt embodies a strong translator’s subjectivity in the translation process

A Case of Optimistic Empowerment: Iranian Koli Woman’s Experiences of Place in Moniroo Ravanipoor’s The Koli by the Fire
Get PDFThis article highlights the noticeable effect of Ravanipoor’s the Koli by the Fire on bringing up the issue of women’s optimistic and powerful identity in contact with a series of interconnected places in Iranian society, the genre which recounts diverse theories of identity in accordance with several people and spaces. To explore this issue further, this article embarks on the Koli by the Fire in the light of the theories of identity and how the author integrates the themes of identity and place into her work. The article asserts that a Koli woman’s experience of place can be seen as examples of cruel optimism and empowerment since it recklessly fights against the binary distinction injected in society depending on diverse places, those which are deemed to be inappropriate for women. In particular, this article narrates the ways in which experiences of new places can empower so-called minority groups such as women. The combination of all these current thoughts, values and settings creates a context for women’s happiness. Forced exile of the Koli woman thus becomes a case of woman’s optimistic empowerment.
Eustacia Vye: Muse-ings on the Unintended Feminist
Get PDFEustacia Vye as a feminist figure is not exactly a new idea – a quick Google search of the topic brings up dozens of articles, blog posts, and essays on the subject. Rather than simply document Eustacia’s feminist traits, this paper seeks to do two things. First, it examines Hardy’s positioning of Eustacia as the other and considers her ensuing treatment by the novel’s other characters through the lens of new wave feminism, specifically the work of Helene Cixous and Luce Irigaray. The second, yet equally important, purpose of this essay is to contemplate how Eustacia, a product of Hardy’s phallocentric discourse, has become a feminist in the first place. Drawing on Heidegger’s being of entities and Irigaray’s teachings on visibility/invisibility of the female other, this article asserts Hardy’s inability to see or access Eustacia’s female being allowed him to unintentionally fashion a feminist character. Such rereading also opens up a vast number of male-created female characters to be analyzed as feminists
