Islamic State and Jeopardy of Totalitarianism Portrayed in Animal Farm & Nineteen- Eighty-Four
Full text linkGeorge Orwell in his Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four rereads the jeopardy of totalitarianism in a pessimistic way. The totalitarian world in these novels creates a society of deprivation, oppression, terror, where everyone is in fear of punishment. In Animal Farm, George Orwell upholds how totalitarianism is exercised on society step by step and has created a controlled society. Everyone knows the truth but dare not expose it. In Nineteen Eighty-Four, the gentle practice of totalitarianism in Animal farm has turned into a frighteningly serious physical horrors and mental tortures of people that show the power of the totalitarian party. But, Islamic state propounds peaceful personal life, absolute truth and harmonious atmosphere based on equality and universal brotherhood, for the omniscient and omnipotence of Allah is recognized and the example of Hazrat Mohammod (SAAS) is exercised in this state. This paper explores how the personal life, mental tranquility, optimistic expectation are pulverized under the all powerful hand of the totalitarian government, above all, the pessimistic and the serious jeopardy it poses to society in Orwell‟s Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four and how Islamic state is a melting place of the jeopardy of totalitarianism offering a serene and pacific shelter of all human beings

Qur’anic Revelation in Song of Myself
Full text linkAl-Qur‟an, a message from the Almighty Allah, is an accurate and immutable guideline for human being in this world. It is a doubtless index of human life. It is not specially for Muslims, but for all mankind created by Allah. Except this, every message is man-made or partially true and has limitation and shortcomings. But Al-Qur‟an is abundant of absolute thoughts from Allah which are sent through our great and second to none human being, Hazrat Muhammad (SAWS). On the other hand, Walt Whitman‟s “Song of Myself” is one of the profound poems of Leaves of Grass, the forerunner of free verse literature. This poem celebrates the poet‟s indistinguishable individuality by melting away into the abstract “Myself”. Through his „Myself‟ definition, Whitman unveils the comprehensive and absolute truth of Al-Qur‟an. The cardinal themes of Al-Qur‟an— the accurate revelation of human creation, the confirmation of the existence of Our Creator, the ever presence of Him, inseparable bonding of all Muslims, direction towards the liabilities of human existence in the world, signifying fellow-feeling and inevitability of eternal life find exposure in “Song of Myself”. Though he is an American poet, he, in his poem, “Song of Myself”, he reveals these Qur‟anic applications in a very astounded way. This paper explores how the important obligations of Al-Qur‟an are revealed in a nonMuslim‟s writing, “Song of Myself” and the significance of these matters in human life

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
