An Exploration of the Partition and Its Literary Voices

This article is an exploration of the different literary narratives about the Partition of India and Pakistan. It reflects on the literary landscape of the Partition, covering key literary moments that depicted the events and the consequences of Britain’s desertion of India. Land is frequently used as a symbol of human identity. The disruption of identity caused directly by the Partition is presented as apocalyptic, and more importantly, unnatural. Saadat Hasan Manto’s iconic short stories are a staple in the Urdu literary world, giving us a stark view into psychological and social ramifications for both men and women. His literature was not only used to educate those who were not aware of the Partition, but to also document the brutal and sadistic events that happened after. Ultimately, the vicious separation of land led to both an identity and cultural gap, which still has ramifications in the modern day

Exploring the Interplay of Gender and Politeness in Televised Political Debate: The First Trump-Clinton Presidential Debate

Politeness is often regarded as both a contributing factor to a feminine performance and a fundament in political discourse. Yet, to follow the conventions of political discourse is considered a masculine behaviour. This has significant ramifications for women politicians: to engage with politics is to compromise their perceived femininity, which may damage their popularity amongst voters. This study uses the first Trump-Clinton presidential debate as a case study to explore variations between the use of politeness between male and female politicians. A secondary dataset of responses collected from social media reveals how the linguistic choices of each candidate were perceived by voters. Even though Clinton was found to demonstrate a greater consideration for the face needs of others, online responses to her behaviour show she was still negatively evaluated for conforming to political norms. Despite using politeness to reassert her femininity, Clinton was still deemed to be presenting as masculine based on her engagement with political debate

This article will focus on Land and the idea of Land as ‘home’ despite the enduredabuse overtime. Looking at the effects of climate change, the poems this article will analyse are that ofSylvia Stults, Matthew Olzmann and Joshua Isham. The poems ‘Warned’1 and ‘Awareness About Our Environment’2 by Sylvia Stults place a major focus on theidea that we, as a society, have been told about how climate change is affecting our land, yet we act selfishlyand continue to abuse our environment. This can also be said for the poem ‘Our Mother Nature’3 by JoshuaIsham, which looks at the close relationship humans have with the earth and nature and how we take it forgranted, therefore making the land inhabitable for future generations. ‘Letter to Someone Living Fifty Years from Now’ 4by Matthew Olzmann further highlights how the futuregenerations will not live as rich as a life as we have, as much of the nature that we have experienced won’tbe there anymore due to our carelessness and irreversible damage. This raises the point that if we can’t takeresponsibility, we will lose the greatness of our world forever. This article will look at the relationshipbetween the land and humans, the pollution that is occurring, and the effect it will have on futuregenerations
