Item The Transformation of Yeong-Hye in The Vegetarian by Han Kang(Saraswati Multiple Campus, Lekhnath Marg, Kathmandu, 2025) Shrestha, Jyoti; Kul Bahadur KhadkaThis thesis explores the profound transformation of the character, Yeong-Hye within Han Kang's groundbreaking novel The Vegetarian. It is indeed a hypothetical framework by employing Deleuze and Guattari's revolutionary concept of becoming animal. The study illustrates how the protagonist, Yeong-Hye comes with an evolutionary transformation from a submissive housewife toward a rebellious incarnation that tries to break free from all synthetic social boundaries. However, this radical metamorphosis constitutes a metaphor, a deep philosophical resistance against the social norms, the mechanisms of masculine dominion, institutional surveillance, and physical suppression. It reviews the existing literary criticism and theoretical texts that addresses the crucial themes of identity development. It further analyses the acts of resistance, and post-human transformation that will support the subsequent philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. The crucial textual analysis of The Vegetarian focuses on Yeong-Hye's enlightened separation from the binding social world and human restrictions. The chapter reveals and tries to demonstrate how her refusal of eating meat and her desire to live like plant isn’t insanity. Drawing upon Deleuze and Guattari's concept of Becoming, the thesis argues her transformation as a deliberate philosophical act an escape from restrictive social norms and hierarchy imposed by society. Finally, the thesis concludes that Yeong-Hye's journey can be understood as an agonizing yet liberating illustrations of becoming-animal The Vegetarian emerges not merely as a narrative of individual rebellion, but it serves as a philosophical work that questions human-centered thinking and creates new ways to understand the complex nature of existence.Item The Blemished Reality of Women in the Selected Lyrical Songs of Tara Thapa(Saraswati Multiple Campus, Lekhnath Marg, Kathmandu, 2025) Rai, Urmila; Kul Bahadur KhadkaThis research paper aims to analyze and investigate how the women are portrayed as subordinated to men in the eight purposively selected songs sung by Tara Thapa in the contemporary society. To address this objective, the researcher is going to examine the primary text (lyrics) of each song and analyze it in-depth by using the liberal feminism. The study aims to explore how the reality of women is blemished or misrepresented in different forms of literatures like poems, songs and novels. Here the researcher aims to explore how both the male and female lyricists have used the different metamorphic symbols in their songs to show the superiority of men in the contemporary society. Tara Thapa, a female singer who has sung songs of female lyricists as well as male lyricists embodies the patriarchal ideas challenging the traditional gender roles. This study has used the qualitative analysis and applies liberal feminist theory as the main analytical tool. The significance of this research study lies in its attempt to reveal the hidden gender biasness in popular cultural norms and to show how the songs behold the deep cultural meanings while also offering the potential for social change for equality, freedom and autonomy.Item Gender Trauma in Faustina Bama’s Karukku(Central Department of English Kirtipur, Kathmandu, 2024) Khanal, Bhabana; Tara Lal ShresthaNot available.Item India in Historical and Literary Writings: A Critique of Representation(2024) Yadav, Prabhu Ray; Amma Raj JoshiAvailable in fulltext.Item Reinterpretation of the Bhagavaadgita in Swami Vivekananda’s selected poems and essays(2024) Kandel, Tika Ram; Krishna Chandra SharmaNot availableItem Politics of Feminist Auto/ Ethnography; personal as political in Annie Ernaux's A Woman's Story(2025) Dhakal, Alina; Badri Parsad AcharyaAvailable in fulltextItem Effectiveness of Anti- Corruption Agency in controlling corruption(2024) Adhikari, Anish; Tara Prasad BhusalAvailable in fulltextItem Relating Religion and middle class mentality in Kiran Desai's Hullabaloo in the Gauva orchard(2009) Paudel, Tika Raj; Prakash SubediNot availableItem Black Atlantic and the Fractured Landscape of Afro-Americanism in morrison's Beloved and A Mercy(2011) Tripathi, Dinesh Chandra; Beerendra PandeyAvailable in fulltextItem Celebration of eastern values in Anita Desai’s Diamond Dust(2011) Nyaupane, Laban; Baikuntha PoudelAvailable in fulltextItem Unveiling identity through interactive narratives: a study of Abdulrazak Gurnah's Gravel Heart(2024) Tiwari, Ranjita; Diwakar Upadhyay AryalNot availableItem Manifestation of subjective identity: psychonalytical study on Philip Roth’s the Humbling(2011) Marahatta, Binod; Beerendra PandeyAvailable in fulltextItem Elision of Holocaust violence in james Bradley's Flags of our Fathers(2010) Adhikari, Vijay Singh; Ghanshyam BhandariAvailable in fulltextItem A critique of the american dream in gabriele muccino's film, the pursuit of happyness(2011) G.
