Abstract:

This article critically analyses The<em> Song of Draupadi</em> by Ira Mukhoty through the dual lenses of Feminist Stylistics as proposed by Sara Mills and Écriture Féminine as theorised by Hélène Cixous. Recasting Draupadi not as a passive mythological figure but as a complex, embodied subject, Mukhoty disrupts the traditional patriarchal narrative of the <em>Mahabharata</em>. The article investigates how Mukhoty’s stylistic and linguistic choices foreground Draupadi’s agency, resistance, and subjectivity within a socio-cultural and political context. Fe

Abstract:

This paper seeks to explore the strategies Hollywood utilizes to capitalize on feminist social movements through replacing hegemonic male characters with female ones or updating traditional stories through a more “feminist” retelling. By analyzing both 2017’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Beauty and the Beast as representative of this corporate trend, we critique the ways in which these pseudo-feminist texts not only contribute little to the social conversation surrounding the evolving roles of women and their representations in media through the lenses of critical political economy, feminist p

Abstract:

The retelling of great epics has been a great success in recent times both at the international and national levels. Retelling is a technique that authors use to present their offbeat perspective on the great epics or characters of the epics. It gives novel dimensions, raises eccentric questions and voices for the voiceless and suppressed characters of the epics. Ramayana and Mahabharatham are the two famous Indian epics that have been retold in many Indian languages by many authors of different times. One of such retellings is Katha Kalam by Devakanthan written in the Tamil language, which sh

Abstract:

The present study explores the representation of the woman’s character in literary works and also encompasses the retelling of Greek mythology from Madeline Miller’s female protagonist’s perspective. Gender stereotypes established by Greek mythology require that women must be submissive and marginalized. Those women characters that are not according to these stereotypes are termed as negative characters. Moreover, this representation of women’s stereotypical characterization is done through predisposed language which is informed by male-ruling sexist ideology. These linguistic choices need to

Abstract:

Myth and mythmaking have been an ever-interesting topic for every epoch throughout history and hence scholars, critics and writers turn to myth; to define, discuss, revise and rewrite it. The Palace of Illusions by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is a retelling with the mythological heroine Draupadi as the protagonist. The feministic overtones in her character come to the forefront in the retelling. The difference in treatment based on gender which is evident from Divakaruni’s narrative substantiated the opinion of the feminist theorists on gender disparity. In the retelling Draupadi is a subaltern

This paper aims to explore the significance of this perspective in reinterpreting the epic for contemporary readers. By examining the portrayal of Sita and other female characters in Pattanaik's retelling, the paper highlights the challenges to traditional gender roles and the promotion of a more inclusive and balanced understanding of the Ramayana. Pattanaik's reinterpretation of Sita's character showcases her agency, assertiveness, and depth of love for Rama, as well as her connection to nature and fertility.

Abstract:

Fairy tales are ancient forms of narrative. To survive, these fairy tales had to be told over and over and they also migrate well because of their basic structure, the essential elements of the psychological behavior which belong to the human species in general and others which are culturally divergent. We can recognize not only most basic human behavior mirrored in tales, but at the same time to see the possible developments and solutions. That is why fairy tales are powerful magnets for feminist critique of misogynist order and retelling the tales in new transformative ways. The aim of this

This thesis examines the production process for "Camp, Vamp and Femme Fatale," performed at the University of North Texas in April of 1997. The first chapter applies Henry Jenkins's theory of textual poaching to the authors' and cast's reappropriation of cultural narratives about female vampires. The chapter goes on to survey the narrative, cinematic and critical work on women as vampires. As many of the texts were developed as part of the fantasy role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade, this chapter also surveys how fantasy role-playing develops unpublished texts that can make fruitful grou

Abstract:

This thesis explores how science fiction and fantasy retellings of the fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast" bring visionary insights to the fairy tale. Stories such as Tanith Lee's science fiction novella "Beauty" and Mercedes Lackey's fantasy novel The Fire Rose constitute living and developing incarnations of "Beauty and the Beast." To better explore the visionary leaps made by these stories, they are placed in contrast with one of the original recordings of the story by Madame Marie Le Prince de Beaumont and the 1991 Disney film version, Beauty and the Beast.

The word odyssey has become part of the common English vocabulary as “a series of experiences that teach you something about yourself or about your life.” The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that the women of the Odyssey, in particular the two who are featured the most, Penelope and Circe, have benefitted from contemporary revisions by authors Margaret Atwood and Madeline Miller. Their works add to a tradition of literary retellings by women writers from the Romantic and Modernist period. These creators approached myth, an inhospitable terrain for women, and embarked on an odyssey of thei

Abstract:

The discourse of mythology can be considered as male-centered, which means that mythological stories generally glorify and idolize masculine prowess. Women on the other hand have been portrayed as docile puppets with their roles being confined in as much as playing victims or mute observers, with no representation of feminine prowess or even female nature as such. Thus, mythology as a form of canonical literature is androcentric and since most myths are constructed and read by men (Guerin 206), women’s representation in myths is usually stereotyped, repressed, and generally ignored.

Instead of opposing masculine authority, it aims to diversify opinions in influential spheres. Amid male-dominated influence, it champions emotional intelligence, empathy, and intuition. Embracing both feminine and masculine traits could steer society towards inclusivity and equilibrium, benefiting all. Feminine sensibility encompasses women's varied experiences, shaping their interactions and expressions, crucial in gender identity. It offers profound insights i

Colette writes with striking honesty and perception about ageing and letting go, and the subsequent being re-filled with earthly delights. I express my gratitude for her free thinking. I mention her impact on my young feminist self, and her relevance for people today thinking about ecology.
