Abstract:

This essay examines Ephesians in light of current research in ethnic studies. The methodological advance of such an approach is twofold: first, it moves the exegesis of the domestic codes to the wider frame of the letter; and, second, it goes beyond the limited hermeneutical framework of the ‘origins’ of the reconciliation language to the more productive examination of its function in the text. The concept of ‘one new humanity’ provides evidence for the author's ethnic reasoning, which participated in ancient cultural affirmations of the essential fluidity and changeability of all ethnicity.

Abstract:

The major aim of present study has to explore gender fluidity in Jeet Thayil’s Narcopolis. The gender fluidity is postmodern term that shows the psychological, physical, and physiological changes in an individual with the passage of time. It challenges the traditional binary gender system that shows the mental and physical transformations in the individual in identity, desire, and selfperception. Set in the late 1970s Bombay, the novel Narcopolis represents the city of Mumbai as an urban landscape dominated by crime, drug trade, and the sex industry. The novel unfolds dark sides of the city of

Abstract:

This paper explores the ethical dilemmas within the capitalist framework depicted in Aravind Adiga’s novels, focusing on The White Tiger, Last Man in Tower, and Selection Day. It critically examines the tension between morality and materialism, analyzing how Adiga’s protagonists navigate corrupt socio-economic structures to achieve success. By drawing on neoliberal critiques, the research highlights the commodification of ethics in modern India and how financial incentives often override traditional moral considerations.

Abstract:

Bertolt Brecht’s <em>The Good Person of Szechwan</em> critiques the hegemony of universal moral ideals, particularly the practicality of God’s Ten Commandments in a corrupt and self-serving world. The binary opposition between Shen Te and her alter ego Shui Ta symbolises the clash between idealism and pragmatism. It exposes the limitations of absolute morality in complex societal structures. Shen Te’s kindness and adherence to moral commandments reflect the rigidity of hegemonic ideologies, yet, her survival necessitates the emergence of Shui Ta, embodying the hybridity requi

Abstract:

Censorship decisions on cinematic works in Egypt have been characterized by their inconsistency due to the intentional lack of definition of what would constitute a threat to politics, religion and morality. Such fluidity has forced filmmakers to practise self-censorship and deterred them from tackling Coptic problems for fear of igniting sectarianism, as censorship would claim. This article shows the role of public opinion during the period of political instability and aspiration for freedom after the 25 January 2011 Egyptian Revolution in facilitating the approval of the controversial script

Abstract:

AbstractUpon close examination of Rousseau's accounts of human development, we find that Rousseau presents us with paradoxical chronologies in which the experience of supposed immediacy from which humans are said to originate always seems to be informed by, and even require, previous mediation. More specifically, reflection, comparison, and imagination are thought to exist only after the onset of perfectibility, but these mediating capacities are always already present in pity and self-love, as well as for the “independent” savage, calling into question the possibility that any human sentiment

Abstract:

Rather than a definition or redefinition of masculinity, or masculinities, this article asks what can masculinities do? To explore this question, I map the possibilities that Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy of immanence offer masculinities theory. Through a theoretical encounter with Deleuze, Guattari, Spinoza, and Gatens, I seek to open up an alternative conceptualization of masculinities that moves away from morality—transcendent judgments of good or bad—and toward an ethics that privileges our capacities for affecting and being affected.

Abstract:

In this article, we explore the presentation and contestation of discourses of womanhood in verbal art performance. In Tuscan-Italian Contrasto verbal duels the artists, both males and females, may impersonate female characters as they exchange insults between each other. In doing so, they deploy multiple discourses of womanhood to demonstrate their wit and verbal artistry. As a consequence, they often subvert and contest “appropriate” female behavior as well as ideas of morality, which might be connected to those behaviors. This highlights the manipulability of discourses of womanhood to obta

The complex interactions between cognitive functions, emotions, personality traits, sociocultural factors, neurobiology, and psychopathology provide the psychological foundation of moral judgments. This study attempts to explore the ways in which these many facets of the human psyche mould and impact moral judgments. Emotions like guilt and empathy influence moral decisions, but cognitive processes such as logic and intuition are also important for navigating moral quandaries. These mental processes assist individuals in weighing options, considering consequences, and arriving at ethically sou

Foucauldian Discourse Analysis goes against the westernized concept of structures such as gender, sexuality morality and norm, as it disregards the notion that these concepts are immutable and mainly biological, and suggests that society is fluid, placing the wider sociocultural and historical context of a society as the basic foundations of creating discourses, placing individual

In Quebec (Canada), the plural religious landscape has strengthened a rhetoric that structures time, space, and morality dichotomously.

By examining Pentecostal migrants’ narratives that have been collected in ethnographic fieldworks among churches located in Montreal (Quebec, Canada), I question the construction of such a binary view in local migrat

If the replacement of place by space is an achievement of modernity, the replacement of space by time can be considered a postmodern hallmark.
