Abstract:

Aravind Adiga dissects his second novel, "Between Two Assassinations," into stories, echoing his protest against corruption and societal ills prevalent in contemporary India, akin to his acclaimed 2008 Booker Prize-winning work, "The White Tiger." The impassioned author constructs a bold mosaic of Indian life within the fictional coastal town of Kittur, situated between Goa and Calicut in South India. Resembling Chaucer's "Prologue to Canterbury Tales," a diverse array of characters—a Muslim porter, a Dalit bookseller, a textile factory owner&mdash

Abstract:

Abstract This article approaches fictionality as a set of semiotic strategies prototypically associated with fictional forms of storytelling (Hatavara & Mildorf, 2017b). Whilst these strategies are strongly associated with fiction, they might also be used in non-fictional and ontologically ambivalent contexts to create ‘cross-fictional’ rhetorical effects. We focus on the representation of thought and consciousness. Using the concept of ‘mind style’ (Fowler, 1977, 1996; Leech & Short, 1981; Semino, 2007), we investigate the linguistic representation of the internal monologue of British

Abstract Post independent India has witnessed several horrific incidents of communal violence. The largest communal riot happened in the year 1984, in the capital city New Delhi. The Anti- Sikh Riots of 1984, happened after the assassination of Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India. But for a long time, there was silence surrounding the incident in which thousands lost their lives. The silence was primarily caused from the trauma inflicted from the incident. There are reasons to believe that the silence was politically motivated too. But the role fictional writings have played in com

Mid-nineteenth century elections in England's small towns were vividly described in contemporary fiction.

Who could blame the enfranchised mob for their behavior during polling when “Excisable articles were remarkably cheap at all the public houses,” producing an epidemic of dizziness “under which they [the voters] might frequently be seen lying on the pavements in a state of utter insensibi

Abstract:

Satire, a form of social criticism, often employs humour, exaggeration, mockery, and criticism to highlight societal flaws. Horatian and Juvenalian are the two most prevalent types of satire, which use literary forms like hyperbole, irony, and other strategies to criticise a leader, social norm, or practice. This study examines the satirical tools and techniques used by Aravind Adiga to intensify socio-politico-racial conflicts and discrimination in postmodern India. Adiga's fictions symbolise the hidden penetrations of poverty, corruption, and class discrimination, magnifying the decay of hum

The moral justification for the rollback of benefits and services under the austerity programme unleashed by George Osborne since 2010, when he was first appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer by British Prime Minister David Cameron, is predicated on a neoliberal ideology that views unemployment and poverty as stemming from personal failings rather than the ways in which the free market has shaped British society since the election of Margaret Thatcher in 1979.

In 2001, Geoffrey Blainey argued that “a high proportion” of non-Indigenous Australians have developed a sense of place, “of feeling at home” in their country, that “has in part been created or manufactured”.

By extending its vision in 2014 of building a sustainable state through the framework of a “Garden City”, Singapore has set itself up to become the world’s first “Smart Nation”.

This technocratic, human-centered development draws a parallel to “Solarpunk”, a model of environmental utopia.

The very idea of a coronation leverages belief in divinity; however, the coronation of Charles III occurred in a very different social environment than those of monarchs a millennium ago. Today, belief in the divine right of Kings is dramatically reduced. In this context, magic can also be thought of as a stage performance that relies on a tacit understanding between audience and actor, where disbelief is suspended in order to achieve
