Item Ethical Memory and Politics of Trauma: A Critical Reading of Palpasa Café and Forget Kathmandu(Central Department of English Kirtipur, Kathmandu, 2008-12) Paudel, Devendra SharmaThis thesis analyses the cultural politics of memory and trauma in Narayan Wagle's Palpasa Café and Manjushree Thapa’s Forget Kathmandu. My argument is that Wagle and Thapa's memory of war is contaminated by the cultural ideologies. Their memory, thus, takes an ethical turn and becomes a part of the larger ideological politics. Their narrativazion of trauma – contaminated by ideology uses the language of demonization. The thesis argues that writer's authorities, editing and sensorship practices ultimately lead their literature of trauma that narrativization to traumatic memory. Wagle uses largely against the Maoists in Palpasa Café while Thapa does the same against the Napalese Army in Forget Kathmandu.Item Glocalization: Tension between Global and Local Forces in Manjushree Thapa's Tilled Earth(Central Department of English Kirtipur, Kathmandu, 2009-08) Rawal, GovindaManjushree Thapa‟s “Tilled Earth” explicitly depicts the tension between the global and local forces that also coin the theme of the glocalization. It explores how the characters remain in tension and trauma. In the stories, Thapa is able to draw the picture of the recent world in which the people face different kinds of problems that are described through the use of the imaginative characters with imaginative stories. Her characters try their best either to resist or to adapt the global and local forces. But in the process of rejection and adaptation of global and local forces the characters lives are disturbed, destabilized, dismantled and torn.
