Hermeneutics Of Intercultural Struggles In Anita Desai’s Cry, The Peacock

This paper explores the circumstances, events, and cultural, social, and political developments that give rise to intercultural conflicts in both Indian and Western contexts in Anita Desai’s Cry, The Peacock. In the novel, she addresses issues such as the misery and inability to adapt of a few Europeans living in India and the Indians in Western countries who have nostalgic feelings. Most of the characters are rootless and unable to establish a strong presence in any one culture. The study has discovered a cultural conflict between the younger and older generations, whose lifestyles are very different from one another. It discusses the conflict between Gautama’s reason and reality and Maya’s delusion and illusions. Additionally, the researcher has discovered that the novel can be interpreted as a fight between modernity and tradition, between human relationships based on trust and mistrust, and between marital disharmony, worry, and unconcern. The study has found that these conflicts are a result of conflict between the younger and older generations as well as between the new and older cultures within the same society. This is sufficient evidence of the intercultural existence and lifestyl

Problemas sócio-psicológicos do Protagonista em Kavita Kane's Karna's Wife: The Outcast’s Queen. Um estudo analítico

This paper explores the socio-psychological problems of the protagonist in Kavita Kane’s Karna’s Wife: The Outcast’s Queen, discoursing the causes for the socio-psychological problems that the marginalised were subjected to in the epic era. This research aims to study the-then social conditions and analyse how they cause the trauma in the psyche of the protagonist. While the Freudian psychological approach interprets that the causes for the psychological distress are to be searched for in the unconscious minds, the Marxist approach asserts that they are to be seen in the then-material conditions of social life. So, the Marxist literary critical approach is necessary for carrying out this research, tracing the dialectical relationship between the human psyche and the then-contemporary social relations. It is asserted that the social discriminations would adversely cause socio-psychological problems among individuals and it was true in the case of Karna, too.Este artículo estudia los problemas sociales y psicológicos del protagonista de la novela Karna’s Wife: The Outcast’s Queen de la escritora india Kavita Kane. Para ello, se revisan las causas de los problemas sociales y psicológicos de los marginados en la literatura de la era épica de la India. Por esto, este artículo presenta una investigación sobre las condiciones sociales que causan un trauma en la mente del protagonista. Para acercarse al problema se hace una revisión desde el psicoanálisis freudiano donde se determina que el malestar y la angustia surgen de causas inconscientes. Por otro lado, se acude al marxismo para determinar que el trauma emerge de las condiciones materiales de la vida social. Se encuentra que la crítica literaria marxista es iluminadora a la hora de entender al protagonista de la obra ya que se comprende la relación dialéctica entre la psiquis y las relaciones sociales. Finalmente, se concluye que las discriminaciones sociales causan, de manera adversa, los problemas psicológicos como se puede ver en la novela de Kavita Kane que el artículo estudia.Este artigo estuda os problemas sociais e psicológicos do protagonista do romance Karna's Wife: The Outcast's Queen da escritora indiana Kavita Kane.

Assim, constata-se que a crítica literária marxista é esclarecedora quando se trata de compreender o protagonista da peça, uma vez que a relação dialética entre a psique e as relações sociais é compreendida. Por fim, conclui-se que as discriminações sociais causam os problemas psicológicos de forma adversa, como pode ser visto no romance de Kavita Kane

Representation of Diasporic Identity in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s Oleander Girl

This paper examines the representation of diasporic identity in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s Oleander Girl from the perspective of contemporary critical approaches to diaspora. It is argued that moving beyond its preoccupation with the poetics and politics of colonialism, postcolonial literature is making forays into diasporic dynamism to the extent that contemporary fiction within its ambit can be seen as literature of diaspora to a great extent. Divakaruni’s Oleander Girl focuses on the issues pertaining to identity formation and identity crisis. National, religious, racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds that work as the determiners of one’s identity have been problematized in the novel. In the process, the idea of plurality embedded in one’s identity instead of the illusion of any singular identity has been suggested. The concern with identity politics is dominant in these literary texts against the backdrop of cross-cultural, inter-racial, multi-ethnic and transnational communication and interaction
