Narmada`s Poems in Gynocentric Criticism

Feminist ideologies began to emerge in the creative sphere as the feminist political conception was transformed into a literary approach. It was then that a number of artistic literature emerged that the woman was very weak, as a consumer, and acted as a supporter of the paternalistic society. In this way, many women who have full faith in feminist theory began to exhibit in their works the feminine world which the paternalistic society could not accept. Those who approached them with feminist orientation began to take the data for the next move based on the results. Some systematic approaches were used for that. One of them is the Woman Center Review

Games in Tholkappiyam and Akananooru

Grammar and literature play an important role in the lives of Tamils. It is a sport that is considered to be a hobby to get a special place in the culture and civilization of every people. From the Sangam age to this period, the contribution of games has dominated grammatical literature. Sports constitute the greatest wealth that can never be erased forever. Sports bring great joy and agility to human beings. Sports are also the best medicine for the body and life of human beings. They are also refreshing in the lives of human beings. They give the body the energy it needs, health, and a sense of togetherness. From children to adults, the game is well talked about and guided. As a result, everyone's ability to think more clearly and develop deeper reasoning and reasoning grows. In Tholkappiyam and Akananooru, the concepts of the song about the game are widespread and in harmony with each other. Sports are considered to be an important aspect of society

Popular matchings with two-sided preferences and one-sided ties

We are given a bipartite graph $G = (A \cup B, E)$ where each vertex has a preference list ranking its neighbors: in particular, every $a \in A$ ranks its neighbors in a strict order of preference, whereas the preference lists of $b \in B$ may contain ties. A matching $M$ is popular if there is no matching $M'$ such that the number of vertices that prefer $M'$ to $M$ exceeds the number of vertices that prefer $M$ to~$M'$. We show that the problem of deciding whether $G$ admits a popular matching or not is NP-hard. This is the case even when every $b \in B$ either has a strict preference list or puts all its neighbors into a single tie. In contrast, we show that the problem becomes polynomially solvable in the case when each $b \in B$ puts all its neighbors into a single tie. That is, all neighbors of $b$ are tied in $b$'s list and $b$ desires to be matched to any of them. Our main result is an $O(n^2)$ algorithm (where $n = |A \cup B|$) for the popular matching problem in this model. Note that this model is quite different from the model where vertices in $B$ have no preferences and do not care whether they are matched or not.Comment: A shortened version of this paper has appeared at ICALP 201

Book Review: Jill Jarvis, Decolonizing Memory: Algeria and the Politics of Testimony (Durham, NC: Duke University Press, 2021)

Jill Jarvis’s book Decolonizing Memory: Algeria and the Politics of Testimony is a promising contribution to the flourishing research being done in the field of Memory Studies, that is challenging the Western and in this case the French politics of testimony from the postcolonial point of view. This book can be read from the larger ethical-political perspective in the field of International Relations, where there is a growing demand for Reconciliation Commissions to address archives beyond the legal framework. The book, as the title suggests, brings together both Postcolonial Studies and Memory studies in the context of Algerian history. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, Jarvis’s deconstructive approach to testimony and memory examines how literature archives the two as forms of resilience, as bearers of witness to experiences that surpass both time and space to fill the gaps in official forms of testimony. As more and more nations are demanding compensation from their perpetrators for past violence and crime against humanity on the political front, this book’s relevance is heightened with its demand for justice and reform, and not merely to forgive and forget. The work of deconstruction that Jarvis undertakes to break down familiar language through reflections on the idea of Muslim, justice, witness, and revolt among others, she critiques the age-old practices of testimonial interrogations and censure that destabilises the multifaceted embodiment of Empire. “France remains constitutively haunted by the empire that it has tried both to exorcise and atone for (12)” succinctly covers the period of Algerian colonisation in 1830 to France’s continued endeavour to redeem and absolve itself from its colonial violence that has been and still remains under the shroud of wilful Western amnesia. Jarvis attempts to expose the denial of the paradox of the French Republican values they are so proud of, to demand justice and reform for the most abject
