Cultural History of True History of the Kelly Gang: A Subaltern Study
(2016) Shrestha, Brinda; Beerendra Pandey
The autobiography True History of the Kelly Gang written by Australian writer Peter Carey, projects historical socio-cultural subaltern issues at the core. The novel presents Australian historical cultural transformation from colonial, postcolonial period to contemporary era of globalization. Analyzed from this perspective, the novel communicates the most predominant issues of class, culture, history and the elements of oppressed and marginalized lower class people in the cultural historical context of Australia. The analysis of the text draws on subaltern theory and the concept of cultural history. The study focuses the main characters Ned who is killer, highwayman and criminal. The study argues that Carey has come up with representations of the subaltern and shows the oppressed and marginalized status in Australian society.
Voice for Female Empowerment in Telling a Tale
(2015) Neupane, Madhu Sudan; Not available
The research work in Telling a Tale finds women empowerment is possible only through educational, social, cultural and economic change in the society. This research work finds that men made social and cultural practices are hindrances to women that made women dependent to them socially, culturally, and economically. The male members in the society think that women are their property and there is a psychology that they should be treated according to their own wish and do not let them in the process of economic earning. The research work finds out the causes of women domination is due to men's stereotypical and unchanged mind since history which are hindrance to overall freedom to women. If women are aware, they may struggle against men. Now, women are empowered and educated in the society. They do not want to become burden to their husbands economically or socially. It claims that different movements towards women, worldly changed situation towards women, global impact, and compulsory education in the state are the causes to subvert the social views towards women.
Sibling Quest for Family Reunification in Khaled Hosseini’s And the Mountains Echoed
(2015) Aryal, Arjun; Jiblal Sapkota
The present research centres on the sibling quest in Hosseini’sAnd the Mountains Echoed by utilization of different narrative storytelling and presenting familial relationship, sacrifice, hope of reunion. The main character Pari is sold to Kabul. The separation of the two siblings, Abdullah and Pari, is the heart of the book. Both subsequently become "victims of the passage of time": Abdullah, who is older and remembers Pari, agonizes over her loss for most of his life, while Pari is younger and able to forget her brother after losing him. However, by the end of the book, Pari remembers Abdullah and locates him in the United States only to discover that he is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and has forgotten her. Especially, Pari and Abdhulla who are bound to separate from each other because of their different circumstances and conditons, but they are united at the ending of the novel. They spend many years without seeing. Tht is to say they suffer from the sense of ownness. A kinds of the sense of dislocateedness tortures them. The novelist has really shown the love of brothers and sisters. The other chracters like Markus and Thalia who are lso brother and sister are compelled to be isolated from each other. They are also united at the end of the novel which can be taken as instance of unification of familiar relation. At the end, Pari and Abdulla, and Marky and Thalia mneet their dear ones because of their strong toil and dedication for quest for ownness. Here we can claim that they can not leave their own native culture although they are settled in western soceity. If they had lacked such desire for own rootness, they would not have reunited with each others. Khaled Hosseini the Afghan-American writer beautifully delves into the subtleties of human relationships. In his novels, Hosseini has expressed his concern about the wretched conditions of the people in general and women in particular who have been doubly marginalized –one by the society and the other within the four walls of their homes. Drawing upon the notion of E.D. Hirsch's notion of "The Aims of Interpretation" (1976), this reserch proves the hypothesis.
