Abstract:

Fiction is not created just to entertain. It serves as a historical treasure trove of social change, the context, and condition of a changing society by uncovering social problems and suggesting solutions. Fiction creators act as the lifeblood of this forum. Such a creator is Rajam Krishnan. With the aim of social development, he has created many new personalities in his fiction from various angles. He has given life and meaning to the nucleus of innovation with the aim of improving the individual's character and interests and has sown the seeds of social excellence in the form of the contribu

Abstract:

In terms of Michel Foucault utopias afford consolation : “Although they have no real locality there is nevertheless a fantastic, untroubled region in which they are able to unfold ; they open up cities with waste avenues, superbly planted gardens, countries where life is easy, even though the road to them is chimerical.” Utopias testify to our inability to dream our way out of the myths and the historical situation we live. As a matter of fact, our attitude towards history, says Dmitry Likhachev, is directed by notions “ encapsulated’’ in myths. During the 20th century, Russian utopian narrati

In a letter to Erasmus dated 3 September 1516, Thomas More wrote: ‘I am sending you my “Nowhere”, which is nowhere well written’. More's use of the Latin word ‘nusquam’ in this sentence (not ‘Utopia’, as one might have expected) made explicit what would have been apparent to any reader of the book with a knowledge of Greek: that the island of Utopia which the character Raphael Hythloday describes is ‘nowhere’. The name ‘Utopia’, those readers would have known, was a compound of the Greek adverb ‘ou’, meaning ‘not’, with the noun ‘topos’, or ‘place’. The non-existence of Utopia operates through

This article analyzes Charles de Lint’s 1989 novel Svaha as an example of how distinct national identities can endure in the globalized future espoused by most cyberpunk texts. Instead of imagining a generic urban sprawl in which it is increasingly difficult to maintain a stable social or communal identity, Svaha addresses issues of Canadian identity based on the division of living spaces by various social and cultural boundaries. The article begins by assessing Istvan Csicsery-Ronay’s argument that science fiction shows little interest in the future of nations, a notion I counter by means of

Abstract:

Danish-Norwegian author Aksel Sandemose called these commandments “the Jante’ Law,” so-named for his protagonist's fictional Danish home-town in the semi-autobiographical novel A Fugitive Crosses His Tracks (orig. pub. 1933; English trans., 1936:77-78). Over the years this ironic credo of elder-dominated communal living has expanded and acquired a special resonance with respect to Swedish cultural self-image. Today in Sweden, the Jante Law occupies a place in the popular imagination as a descriptor of a specifically Scandinavian attitude, a subtly enforced culture of moderation and humility.

Moreover, the physicality of food in literature and the way of its consumption leads to a better understanding of individual and collective identities. Food and its rituals constitute the significant part in migratory novels. Customs and traditions surrounding food provide the unity of immigrant communities threatened by the disconnection from a native country. Com

Most of his works also reflect nostalgia for a disappearing life style, demonstrated by following cultural customes and a deep communal feeling, in contrast to the estranging nomadism of contemporary backstreets.

Electronic tones, such as produced by the Theremin, were also used in movies of this period to accompany moments of mental instability.

These testimonies embracing literature and oral testimony, as well as cinema—are archives of memory and nostalgia, evoking the titanic human cost of displacement, violence, and loss.

Abstract:

I was born illegitimate. Born on an existential precipice. My unwed mother was 36 years old when she relinquished me. I was the fourth baby she was required to give away. After I emerged blood stained and blue tinged – abject, liminal – not only did the nurses refuse me my mother’s touch, I also lost the sound of her voice. Her smell. Her heart beat. Her taste. Her gaze. The silence was multi-sensory. When they told her I was dead, I also lost, within her memory and imagination, my life. I was adopted soon after but not told for over four decades. It was too shameful for even me to know. Impri

“Garihmato—Look after, to Care for” Melaleuca Alternifolia, commonly called Tea Tree, only grows naturally in the lands of the Bundjalung people from north coast New South Wales. The particular medicinal properties of the Tea Tree have been used for thousands of years, and the Tree and its effects on land, water, and people form part of Bundjalung oral histories and spiritual governance. This article explores media about Tea Tree from the 1990s to 2020s in print media through agricultural media and magazines, as well as online media through TikTok. This combination highlights the generational

Abstract:

At the end of the episode “Crowd Pleasers,” from her television series Nigella Feasts, we see British food writer and television cook Nigella Lawson in her nightgown opening her fridge in the dark. The fridge light reveals the remnant dishes of chili con carne that she prepared earlier on in the programme. She scoops up a dollop of soured cream and chili onto a spoon and shovels it into her mouth, nods approvingly and then picks up the entire chili dish. She eats another mouthful, utters a satisfied “umm” sound, closes the fridge door and walks away, taking the dish of chili with her. This rec

Abstract:

Introduction Most developed countries, including Australia, have a strong focus on national, state and local strategies for emergency management and response in the face of disasters and crises. This framework can include coping with catastrophic dislocation, service disruption, injury or loss of life in the face of natural disasters such as major fires, floods, earthquakes or other large-impact natural events, as well as dealing with similar catastrophes resulting from human actions such as bombs, biological agents, cyber-attacks targeting essential services such as communications networks, o
