Abstract:
AbstractIn this article, I reflect on my creation of a digital map that plots locations from David Malouf's fiction and non-fiction. I consider the vestiges of David Malouf's past — particularly his grandparents' fruit shop and its relationship to his spiritual home at 12 Edmondstone Street — and I demonstrate how Malouf's words leave traces of his experience at these locations. Recognition of these traces requires alertness to the ways in which the past is communicated through historical registers, maps and literature. Our recognition is enhanced through a deliberate evocation of the past in

Abstract:
This article focuses on the US migratory novel and the reasons it has been overlooked in literary scholarship. It is emphasized that the study of migration experience is important as it represents the worldview of historical subjects who, although they contributed a lot to the building of the New World, always existed on the margins of both real life and fiction. Literary scholars concentrated on the fictional images of colonizers, builders of a new world order, pioneers, farmers, cowboys, but not immigrants as such, although all these identities of American history were rooted in the migratio

Abstract:
“Write what you know” - this is the age-old advice said by someone to all the novelists. Surajprasad Naipaul, generally known as V. S. Naipaul, took it more seriously than others. Naipaul’s grandparents migrated from Uttar Pradesh India to Trinidad. His grandfather started working as an indentured laborer in the sugarcane estates there. They faced many problems regarding settlement and adjustment in this new cultural environment. That’s why Naipaul’s works are replete with the themes of diaspora. He applied his uniquely careful prose style to the point where the observer has called him the gre

The article analyses the image of grandfather and grandmother on the roof of a house in a flooded evicted village. They did not want to leave their home village and thus demonstrated protest against resettlement and flooding. The hypothesis that this image was formed some time after the event of resettlement under the influence of the following main factors: intra-narrative factors and worldviews; external influence of the propaganda in that time; modern ideas about past events, their rethinking. Texts of oral and written memoirs about resettlement give grounds to claim that the idea that it w

In lieu of an abstract: When I was asked to review Beyond Nancy Drew: U.S. Girls’ Series Fiction in the Twentieth Century, I had to pause and really consider whether I could be objective or whether my nostalgic love for the Nancy Drew series might cloud my judgement. Growing up, my grandparents’ home featured shelves and shelves of books, including a full shelf of Nancy Drew and Bobbsey Twins books. The books were bound in matching blue tweed covers with decorative details on the spine, in what my scholarly-trained mind’s eye now recognizes as a publisher’s play for middlebrow respectability.

Abstract:
Abstract From a cultural fad of Confederate flags to a spate of schools named after Confederate generals, the 1954 Brown v. Board decision revived the memory of the US Civil War. In their collective effort of “massive resistance,” white southerners considered themselves carrying on the legacy of their Confederate ancestors, rebelling against the federal government and insisting upon states’ rights. In response to this revival, many mid-century writers revised Civil War memory. Ralph Ellison, for example, considered the Brown decision as yet another battle in an ongoing Civil War. The works of

The present paper aims at identifying the aspects of Indian diasporic womanism in the selected works of Jhumpa Lahiri, a Bengali-American woman writer. It borrows the term “womanism” from Alice Walker and focuses on the three key aspects of womanism: feminism, womanhood and motherhood. The study analyses the three major works of Jhumpa Lahiri, The Interpreter of Maladies, a collection of nine short stories, which got her the Pulitzer Prize,The Namesake, a novel, which was made into a film, and the Unaccustomed Earth, a collection of eight short stories, which won her the Frank O’ Conner Prize,

Resumo: Em Passagens, Walter Benjamin escreve: “O rastro é a aparição de uma proximidade, por mais longínquo que esteja aquilo que o deixou”. Marcel Cohen tinha cinco anos quando, entre 1943 e 1944, sua família foi levada para Auschwitz, apenas a esposa de um tio sobreviveu. Em A cena interior, livro publicado orginalmente em 2013, ele narra, a partir de rastros e vestígios de memória, o que recorda e o que pôde saber a respeito de seus pais, sua irmã, seus avós paternos, dois tios e uma tia-avó.

Abstract In countless movies, computers play a starring role. Some talk in synthesized voices; others write a stream of words on a screen. Some manage spaceships; others, the “brains” of robots, manage their own “bodies.” People converse with them, are understood by them, exchange information and greetings with them. Much of this is still science fiction. But real computers advise lawyers on relevant cases, doctors on diagnoses, engineers on the state of atomic reactors.

An adventurer of dubious foreign extraction (even he, we are told on the first page, does not know who, or of what nationality, or of what ethnicity were his grandparents), Lopez has successfully invaded the upper echelons of English society. By preying on the susceptibilities of Lady Palliser with his un-English smoothness of manner, he has almost gained election to Parliament. He has won a monied English bride.

Abstract At certain junctures since the mid-nineteenth century, American fiction about the antebellum South has explored the relations between the races, especially in matters of equality, by dwelling with fascination and perplexity on the enigmatic figure of the quadroon or the octoroon. The words themselves, now rather arcane, are liable to evoke the image of “a face like a tragic magnolia, the eternal female, the eternal Who-suffers”-Faulkner’s description of Charles Hon’s mistress in Absalom, Absalom!

Abstract:
Children’s lying is often a defense mechanism of children. Adolescents are afraid of the authority of significant people around them – parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, older brothers and sisters. These fearful experiences develop into a psychosomatic expression of the children’s experiences, emotions and feelings. They are unable to process this emotional burden and react with a somatic disorder. The children’s lie is an occasion to try to look into the world of the child in his growing up process from the 3rd to the 7th year. In this period of development, many new impressions, observati
