Full textAbstract:
Identitas gender seseorang, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan, menjadi dinamis karena faktor lingkungan yang ada di sekitarnya. Kedinamisan identitas gender menunjukkan bahwa identitas diri seseorang bukanlah sesuatu yang bersifat absolut. Hal tersebut terepresentasi dalam novel Boy-Boy Love Story karya Salsa Ivy. Makalah ini akan membahas kegagalan tokoh Riano pada novel Boy-Boy Love Story karya Salsa Ivy dalam mempertahankan kestatisan identitas gendernya. Tujuan makalah ini adalah mendeskripsikan kegagalan tokoh Riano dalam mempertahankan kestatisan identitas gendernya. Teori identitas Stuart Hall, yaitu identitas sebagai proses being dan becoming yang tidak pernah statis dan akan selalu berubah, akan digunakan sebagai titik tolak untuk mengungkapkan kegagagalan tokoh Riano dalam mempertahankan kestatisan identitas gendernya. Hasil kajian terhadap novel ini menunjukkan bahwa kegagalan tokoh Riano dalam mempertahankan identitas gendernya karena faktor lingkungan. Kegagalan tersebut juga disebabkan tokoh Riano tidak memiliki keberanian untuk melakukan perlawanan terhadap kekuasaan yang ada di sekitarnya lingkungannya.

This article tries to demonstrate the power of spiritual love in Chetan Bhagat’s autobiographical novel 2 States: The Story of My Life. Love is universal. It is a force for making the unity among people. The eternal power of love assimilates different cultures, castes, classes and traditions, and creates a harmony among them. This novel recounts the experiences and emotions of people in different states of India. This is a story about a girl and a boy from different states with the different cultures and caste system. They fall in love but have to face hardships in convincing their parents to support their marriage. In Indian culture, they cannot defy their parents' consent. A boy and a girl named Krish and Ananya want to change their love into marriage but it is as a Herculean task for them because of the cultural differences between two societies. Finally, they get success to change their dream into reality only through the true love, as it is the facilitator of interpersonal relationships. Indeed, love keeps human beings together against threats, breaks the barriers and harmonizes their dissimilarities. Based on this line, this article discusses Bhagat’s 2 States and proves the love as a boundary breaker of dissimilar cultures.

Görey, Özlem. "‘The Story You Were Telling Us’ Re-Reading love in Alice Walker's By The Light of My Father's Smile through Luce Irigaray's Theory." Ethnic Studies Review 26, no. 1 (January 1, 2003): 29–44. http://dx.doi.org/10.1525/esr.2003.26.1.29.
Full textAbstract:
This article considers Alice Walker's novel By the Light of My Father's Smile in the light of the theories of French feminist Luce Irigaray. It concentrates particularly on the redefinition of love through the creation of a maternal genealogy. It explores how the severe punishment of one of the daughters, as a result of her love affair with a young Indian boy, results in the deep scarring of all the family for the rest of their lives. Interpreting this traumatic event as a metaphorical Oedipal break from the mother, this discussion aims to show the ways in which both the novelist and the theoretician explore the possibility of redefining the term ‘love’ through the mother-daughter relationship.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the article is to show the breakdown of trust and harmony among people from different religious and communal background caused by the partition as depicted in Khushwant Singh’s Train to Pakistan. The article also focuses on the way the novel criticises the indifference of men with power and authority, and the passivity and fear of social, political and religious leaders over the communal violence during and after the partition. Last but not the least, the article also highlights the way the novel portrays the love between a Sikh boy and a Muslim girl where the Sikh boy Juggut Singh sacrifices himself in order to save his beloved Nooran and consequently saves the life of thousands of Muslims targeted for massacre.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractPrecious Mirror of Boy Actresses is the most serious piece of fiction about male love since the late Ming and the lengthiest of all in Chinese literary history. It is remarkable in its extension of the egalitarian implications of the qing aesthetic that it inherits from the late Ming and from earlier Qing literature such as Dream of the Red Chamber. In the homoerotic relationship it idealizes, lovers who are rigidly separated in terms of status nevertheless experience a sublime love which necessarily results in the liberation of the man of lower status. The novel makes unique use of the qing aesthetic's idealization of the feminine to arrive at this ethically pragmatic conclusion whereby liberation is achieved. The foregrounding of this sublime love and the qing-perfected characters who embody it, moreover, link the novel with other works of the period which portray a China that is ultimately a stable and invulnerable entity. Thus Precious Mirror's interpretation of qing carries a historical significance in spite of the novel's obliviousness of the social and political turmoil of China in the mid-nineteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to discover the reasons why Dave did the journey and the process that he had been through in order to find family love in Dave Pelzer’s The Lost Boy (2009). There are two main points analyzed by the writer: the setting and characterization of the main character of the novel, Dave. To accomplish this study, the writer applied New Criticism theory by closely reading the novel to examine the formal elements such as setting and characterization. Through this study, the writer found that Dave’s experience traumatizes and makes him hard to trust other people. The setting that appears in the novel has an important role in changing his characterization in the end of the story.

Full textAbstract:
The novel Second Thoughts deals with the story of a young middle class Bengali girl who marries a Bombay based foreign returned Bengali Boy. The story depicts the disillusionment of a married woman and an explosive tale of love and betrayal that exposes the hollowness of human relationship especially within arranged marriages. This chapter deals with the concept of Micro-Politics which is a significant dogma of postfeminism. Micro-Politics believes that there has been drastic change in the position of women in basic social relationships, within the families, workplace and other public spheres. Postfeministic notion of micro-politics is intended to provide insight into the complicated nexus of relationship and also to rethink this same concept in terms of postfeminism.

Full textAbstract:
The present research paper is the extensive analyses of Ali Smith’s seminal novel Girl Meets Boy by applying Queer Theory as a tool. As a qualitative research, this paper is the study of queer behavior of characters of the fiction which questions over the established heterosexual social conceptions. The authoritative concept of heterosexual bond has been challenged with the idea of queerness or homosexual bond. The character Anthea and Robin cross the social life of heterosexuality and got the freedom physically and sexually in their lesbian love. As revolutionary characters, they question over the dominant narrative of heterosexuality and create a new test for readers. This fiction portrays the myth of sexual minorities in a new way. Their sexual behavior portrays shifting notion of sexuality because of awareness of gender biasness. It also proves that the identity is cultural construct and the characters have created distinct identity going against the so called socially established sexual behaviours.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabajo analiza El viento de la luna, novela de 2006 de Muñoz Molina: es la historia de un chico de trece años que vive en Mágina, pequeña ciudad de provincia y que, fascinado por la misión espacial del Apolo XI y por las aventuras de su comandante, Neil Armstrong, asiste, más o menos consciente, al nacimiento de una nueva época. A través del punto de vista del protagonista, la realidad histórica de 1969 adquiere matices privados; al mismo tiempo, el cruce de miradas entre tierra y luna va a desempeñar un papel esencial en la novela, que se convierte en un canto de amor del autor hacia su país y hacia la literatura, fuente de consolación y sentido último de las experiencias. This work analyses the novel El viento de la luna, published in 2006 by Muñoz Molina: it is the story of a thirteen-year-old boy who lives in Mágina, fascinated by the Apollo XI space mission and by the adventures of its commander, Neil Armstrong. Through his point of view, the historical reality of 1969 acquires private nuances. At the same time, the exchange of the perspective between earth and moon plays an essential role in the novel, which becomes in this way a song of love of the author towards his country and towards literature, the real consolation and meaning of experiences.

Full textAbstract:
Everybody knows a Joe. Joe is the kind of guy who was the most popular boy in class, head boy at school, the life and soul of the party, and whenever he needs something, it just seems to happen for him. This is the guy we love to hate! Why is he getting all the breaks when we have to work so damn hard? As we continue to grind out each day at work, we see Joe is the guy with a big house, fast car, and the most beautiful women swooning over him. Most men would give their right arm to have a bit of that magic. So, how does he do it? Of course, I cannot tell you for sure (if I could my next book would be a bestselling self-help book), but it should come as no surprise that people with more friends and contacts tend to be more successful than people with fewer. Intuitively, we know that these people, by virtue of their wide range of contacts, seem to have more support and opportunity to make the choices they want. Likewise, again it’s no surprise that more interconnected societies tend to be able to cope better with challenging events than ones where people are segregated or isolated. Initially it seems unlikely that this connectedness has anything to do with Shannon’s information theory; after all what does sending a message down a telephone line have to do with how societies function or respond to events? The first substantial clue that information may play some role in sociology came in 1971 from the American economist and Nobel Laureate, Thomas Schelling. Up until his time sociology was a highly qualitative subject (and still predominantly is); however he showed how certain social paradigms could be approached in the same rigorous quantitative manner as other processes where exchange of information is the key driver. Schelling is an interesting character. He served with the Marshall Plan (the plan to help Europe recover after World War II), the White House, and the Executive Office of the President from 1948 to 1953, as well as holding a string of positions at illustrious academic institutions, including Yale and Harvard.
