A Critical Analysis of Marxist Feminist Multi-Voiced Expressions in Pakistani Writings
No full textPakistani English literature is internationally recognized. It elaborates on Pakistani culture, societies, and individual and collective thought represented in its writings. Different writers have different perspectives to discuss but Marxist Feminism is an important aspect about which very few writers focused, on the point of view of the property, dominancy, wages, and shares in the economy. Men are not only denominated on women’s bodies but also their economy which females deserve in the form of inheritance or wages. Karl Marx and Frederic Engels wrote a book: The Origin of Family, Private property, and the State (1884), and presented a theory on Marxist-feministic phenomena that men and women do the same job but women receive the reward not equally men. This can be because of males’ dominant society or in other words, females are not aware of their basic rights. This study is the subjective analysis of reading the two novels of the pre-modern time: Umrao Jaan Ada by Hadi Ruswa and the post-modern era fiction: The Holy Woman by Qaisra Shahraz to analyze the custom prevalent in the society of Pakistan regarding the Marxist-feminist approach. The hypothesis is also, whether the situation varies after hundred years of awareness. However, the study has the conclusion of the same state
Exploring Dialogism in the Mistress-Slave Relationship: A Study of Female Slave Characters in Jean Rhys' “Wide Sargasso Sea”
No full textSlavery, an enduring institution devoid of remuneration, has played a foundational role in numerous societies. Literary works explore the changing roles and portrayals of slaves in Great Britain's post-emancipation era in 1833. Within Jean Rhys' seminal work, "Wide Sargasso Sea," a captivating narrative emerges, spotlighting a female slave character whose mistress forms a profound, almost maternal, attachment. This study embarks on an exploration of this intricate mistress-slave dynamic, particularly focusing on the slave's portrayal in a maternal capacity. It delves into the question of whether a slave could embody the utmost empathy towards the extended familial network of her mistress. Framing this investigation is Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin's theory of dialogism, asserting that interaction is shaped by discourse and that each dialogue carries profound significance. The poignant instance of the slave providing solace as Antoinette's mother falters exemplifies this theory. The findings substantiate the hypothesis that the language employed in reciprocal communication profoundly impacts the tenor of the relationship. This study thus sheds light on the profound interplay between language, empathy, and power dynamics within the mistress-slave relationship.
 
Exploring the Evolution of Female Empowerment: A Study of Gender Dynamics in Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God
No full textThis research scholar article employs a post-structuralist feminist framework by Judith Butler to critically analyze the evolving portrayal of women's roles in Hurston's seminal novel, "Their Eyes Were Watching God" (1937); through a deconstructive theory, the study explores how Janie Crawford, the central character, evolves from a state of imposed silence to a position of empowered self-expression. The analysis delves into the complex interplay of power, identity, and behavior received by societal norms that shape Janie's transformative journey. By scrutinizing the intersections of race, class, and gender, this research illuminates the intricate dynamics of female agency within a patriarchal context. Furthermore, it highlights Hurston's adept use of language and narrative techniques to challenge and reconceptualize conventional gender norms. This examination not only deepens our comprehension of the text but also contributes to broader discussions on the contingency of gender roles within both literature and society. Ultimately, this study contends that "Their Eyes Were Watching God" stands as a compelling testament to the potential for women to transcend stifling norms and find their voices amidst societal constraints

Social Framework Analysis Through Oedipus Complex in Lawrence’s Sons & Lovers
No full textSons and Lovers has always been posing problems for the teachers, during classroom critical discussions on the novel on account of its undue association with Freud’s concept of Oedipus complex and his focus on sexual instincts. Readers are forcibly led to the conclusion that there is convincing evidence of unconscious sexual attraction between Gertrude (the mother) and William and Paul (her sons) throughout the novel. The novel basically focuses on the individual’s mental and behavioral struggle to locate his own place in the social setup in pursuit of his dignity. An open-minded close examination of the novel makes one realize that it hardly deserves to be labeled as an illustration of Freud’s theory of Oedipus complex. Paul’s struggle for recognition and acceptance in the society is the central theme of the novel which puts him in trying conditions and relations and leaves him struggling to adjust his place in quest of self-esteem and recognition. The more he tries to get satisfaction, the more he becomes disillusioned. Consequently, dissatisfaction leads him to interact with different people and he experiences mal-adjustment. The object of this paper is to analyze Paul’s relations with other main characters in the novel in order to diagnose the cause of his discontentment in his relations with them. An attempt has been made to view his predicament in the light of psychological and social cross-currents that pervade his behavior through-out the novel Paul finds intellectual harmony with Miriam as her feelings match with those of his. Like Paul, she also wants to achieve something great. A cleavage occurs in their relationship when Miriam shows her reluctance to fulfill his carnal desires, as being unethical and contrary to her spiritual ideals. Paul’s sensual desires are fulfilled by Clara, a woman promising physical satisfaction but devoid of aesthetic sensibilities which again compel him to turn to some new destinations. A thorough analysis of the novel Sons and Lovers clearly reveals that there is very little influence of Oedipus complex while there is a strong chemical bond and natural affection between the mother and son which is a natural human instinct. Paul finds solace in the company of Gertrude simply on account of natural reasons and not for any amoral urge like Oedipus complex

No full textPhilip Albert Theodor Kircher. Poverty Reduction Strategies. Gottingen Studies in Development Economics. Frankfurt, Germany: Peter Lang, 2002. xiv+275 pages. Paperback. Price not given.
No full textPoverty is one of the most depressing global problems in the
world today. Therefore, there is a growing consensus among development
organisations that poverty alleviation should be the primary goal of
cooperation between the rich and the poor countries. This consensus is
due to the awareness that a widening international income gap threatens
the well-being of people in the rich countries. In this volume, the
author, Philip Kircher, offers a comprehensive study on the evolution,
the content, the different national accentuations, and the problem of
the international consensus on poverty alleviation, and provides a
systematic analysis of today’s donor strategies for development
cooperation for poverty reduction. The study focuses specifically on the
strategic positions of the World Bank, the Department for International
Development (DFID) of the United Kingdom, the Ministry for Economic
Cooperation and Development (BMZ) of Germany, and the Swedish
International Development Agency (SIDA), as well as the positions
presented by the governments of these countries in regard to
development
