Presentation of Paper : 8 : Cultural Studies
This document discusses technoculture and risk. It defines technoculture as a culture informed by technological activity and development. It discusses Ulrich Beck's concept of the "risk society," where risks are not necessarily real but have the potential to become disasters. Examples of risks in technoculture include weapons of mass destruction, cybersecurity issues, and the relationship between technoscience and risk. Beck argues that politics must have more transparency and accountability to address risks created by technological systems. The conclusion notes that in a technocultural world, solving one problem often leads to new problems in an endless cycle.
Presentation of Paper : 7 : Literary theory and Criticism
Ecocriticism analyzes the representation of nature in literary works and evaluates texts based on their environmental messages. The document discusses key concepts of ecocriticism like ecology, ecosystem, food chain, and anthropocentrism versus ecocentrism. It then applies ecocriticism to analyze stories from the Panchatantra, noting how they portray humans in animal bodies but with human names, language, families, purpose, and tools, representing an anthropocentric view. The conclusion states that it would be beneficial if humans recognized they are part of nature rather than the center of it.
The Rennaisance age
This document provides a comparison between the characters of Claudius from Shakespeare's tragedy "Hamlet" and Bhallaldev from the film "Bahubali-2". Both characters share similarities like their lust for power, hatred of their brother, and desire for the same queen. However, they differ in that Claudius feels guilt for his actions while Bhallaldev remains ambitious until the end, and Hamlet has a tragic ending while Bahubali-2 has a happy ending. The document analyzes other similarities between the elements of the play and film, as well as differences in how women characters are portrayed.
The Neo classical age
This document provides an analysis of ambiguous characters in the novel "Tom Jones" by Henry Fielding. It discusses how characters like Mr. Allworthy, Sophia, Jenny Jones/Mrs. Waters, Black George, Squire Western, and Tom Jones exhibit ambiguity in their actions and intentions. For example, while Mr. Allworthy appears wise, many of his decisions have unintended consequences. Sophia struggles between obedience and love. Jenny Jones is disliked in town but may be a better woman than some who defend their virtue. The document aims to show there are always two sides to each character that must be carefully examined.
Literary theory and criticism
Aristotle defined tragedy as an imitation of a serious action that is complete in itself, uses embellished language, and causes catharsis through pity and fear. Dryden defined play as a just and lively representation of human nature, passions, and changes in fortune that delights and instructs mankind. Some key differences are that Aristotle focused on tragedy being serious and ideal, while Dryden focused on plays being a realistic portrayal of human nature for delight. Both aimed to provide human delight, though they conceptualized it differently.
Indian writing in English
This document provides a comparison of the play "The Purpose" and the movie "Raavan" in their deconstruction of myth. It defines deconstruction as emphasizing the internal workings and assumptions within language and concepts. Both works deconstruct the characters of Arjuna and Eklavya in the play, and Ram and Ravan in the movie, portraying traditionally heroic figures as weak or cruel and marginalized figures in a more positive light. The document concludes that deconstructing myths over time provides new perspectives for audiences.
