"Waiting" in "Waiting for Godot" and bollywood movie "Waiting"(2015)
This document provides a summary of the play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett and the film Waiting directed by Anu Menon. It compares the two works, noting that both involve two main characters - Vladimir and Estragon in the play, and Shiv and Tara in the film - who form an unlikely friendship and pass their time in daily routine as they wait for someone or something with unanswered questions. Key differences between the two main character pairs are also outlined. The document then discusses themes of routine, nature, and existentialist views of life presented in both works.
The "MAtch-Making" system in "Sense and Sensibility"-Jane Austen
This document discusses matchmaking in Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility and compares it to matchmaking portrayed in modern Bollywood films, soap operas, and dating sites. It focuses on the character of Mrs. Jennings, who takes it upon herself to find husbands for all the unmarried women. Similarly, a character named Shankari Tai acts as a matchmaker in the Indian soap opera Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Today, matrimonial websites serve as alternatives to traditional marriage brokers in helping people find matches.
Society and Language
This document discusses the relationship between language and society. It explains that sociolinguistics looks at how social factors influence language use and how language impacts society. It then provides examples of how Indian English has developed its own conventions due to cultural influences. Specific linguistic differences are shown between Hindi/Gujarati and their English translations. The conclusion recommends practicing and listening to the target language for improved proficiency.
Use of color in popular media with reference to "Black Skin and White Masks"
Use of color in popular media with reference to "Black Skin and White Masks"Department of English MKBU
This document summarizes Frantz Fanon's book "Black Skin, White Masks" and discusses the use of color in popular media. It notes that Fanon's book deals with the psychology of racism and was originally his doctoral thesis. It then summarizes each chapter. The document goes on to discuss how advertisements, Bollywood movies, fashion, and song lyrics often represent racial archetypes and a desire to be white. It analyzes how Fanon viewed color as a mental construct and emphasized the importance of humanism over color. In conclusion, it states that all racial discrimination stems from mental constructions rather than actual color differences.Character of 'Nancy' from "Oliver Twist" in comparison with Bollywood female ...
Character of 'Nancy' from "Oliver Twist" in comparison with Bollywood female ...Department of English MKBU
Nancy is a prostitute character from Charles Dickens' novel "Oliver Twist". She is portrayed as a "fallen woman" and symbol of victimization in Victorian society. Nancy lives in the criminal world and is in a relationship with the criminal Bill Sikes. She is ultimately murdered by Bill Sikes. The document argues that society forces women into so-called "fallen" roles rather than one inherently being born into such a role, as exemplified by the character Nancy who was a product of her nightmare Victorian society.Deconstruction of Solah Shringar with reference to "The Scarlet Letter"
The document compares and contrasts the symbolic punishment of "A" given to Hester Prynne in The Scarlet Letter to the traditional 16 items of "Solah Shringar" expected of married Hindu women. It questions whether these symbols internalized by society truly represent crimes or sins committed, when in reality they are forms of archetypal control imposed upon women but not men. While Hester and Indian women initially feel insulted by these expected roles, over time they become so internalized that the women no longer see them as harmful though they are forms of socially enforced identity.

"Cricket is religion in India" - Post-colonial perspective
This document discusses why cricket is seen as a religion in India. It suggests that cricket became popular due to British colonial influence as well as India's Brahminical traditions which emphasize elite sports. While cricket receives immense popularity, funding, and controversy, other indigenous sports like hockey are less supported. The document questions whether India is truly free of colonial influence if cricket remains so dominant and suggests nationalists should also debate India's ongoing affinity for the sport.

What is digital humanities ? What's doing into English departments?
The document discusses digital humanities and its inclusion in English departments. Digital humanities incorporates digitized and born-digital materials as well as methodologies from traditional humanities disciplines like history, linguistics, literature and cultural studies. In English departments, digital humanities is used for research through stylistic, linguistic and author attribution studies using computational tools and large text digitization projects. It allows for analysis of hundreds or thousands of texts through approaches like distant reading. The document provides several examples of digital humanities work and argues that computers can make a large impact on literature when used to address new questions and data types beyond human capabilities or time constraints.

This document discusses the relationship between comparative literature and digital humanities. It argues that comparative literature is in a transitional phase as it adapts to the digital age. New areas of study are emerging, such as comparative data studies, which analyzes large datasets across languages and cultures. Comparative media studies also analyzes genres and movements across different media. The document calls on humanists to more deeply engage with digital culture, publishing, and issues of access and ownership of cultural works online. It asserts that new technologies risk being dominated by corporate interests unless humanists advocate for more open access and sharing of intellectual property in digital formats.
Electronic Literature - Honors Project Narrative (Final Draft)
This document discusses plans to introduce a course on electronic literature at the University of Louisiana at Monroe. It argues that electronic literature should be taught as literature in the English department, as the focus will be analyzing digital works that use language as the primary medium through literary criticism. The document explores what constitutes electronic literature and what works could be included, such as hypertext narratives and adventure games. It aims to prove electronic literature is worthy of literary study by examining works through a literary lens, rather than making assumptions based on the medium. The course will analyze examples of electronic literature without focusing on coding skills.

The study of intertextuality in Classical poetry often presents itself as a specialized case of text-reuse detection: commentaries and other close readings of a work concern themselves with the identification and exegesis of phrases borrowed from earlier texts. Yet it has long been understood that larger-scale, structural parallelisms can also exist between texts (Genette 1997), and that these can provide the context necessary to establish an allusive or intertextual link between two phrases (Wills 1996). Automatic detection of intertextuality must take into account features at various scales: from individual phonemes to larger syntactic units and type scenes.West Meets East: 2010 AzLA Presentation
Nancy Deegan traveled to Japan as part of a fellowship exchange program between Arizona and Japanese libraries. She visited 17 institutions over 9 days to learn about their use of technology for remote access, library services, and information literacy initiatives. While she expected to find progressive technology use, the reality was that most materials remained in print only and remote access was limited. Some libraries offered digital archives and mobile apps, but services were primarily face-to-face. She observed a hesitation to fully incorporate digital materials and services despite trends toward digital libraries globally.

21st Century Literacy Curriculum by Calle Friesen
This document outlines a curriculum designed by Calle Friesen to support struggling 21st century readers through integrating classic reading instruction, technology, and 21st century literature. The curriculum combines traditional print sources like books and magazines with digital sources like blogs and online documents. Students showed significant growth, improving an average of two grade levels in reading ability based on pre- and post-assessments. Student feedback indicated increased enjoyment of and confidence in reading. The integrated approach helped instill a love of reading in students who previously struggled.
The Riddle of Literary Quality Project
The document summarizes a project called "The Riddle of Literary Quality" which aims to:
1. Identify textual commonalities ("X-factors")
2. In recent Dutch novels
3. With similar levels of appreciation based on a national reader survey.
The project has compiled a digital corpus of 400 recently published Dutch novels and conducted a survey of over 13,000 Dutch readers on their appreciation of read and unread books. Researchers are developing digital analysis techniques to analyze sentence structures, word features, and other textual factors in novels with similar appreciation levels to identify potential "X-factors" that contribute to literary quality.

The Rape of the Lock - Alexander Pope
Alexander Pope was a Roman Catholic poet born in London in 1688 who was self-taught and inspired by classical Greek writers. He is known for writing the mock-heroic epic poem "The Rape of the Lock" in 1712, which satirized a trivial incident between two aristocratic families. The poem uses supernatural machinery like sylphs and gnomes to elevate the trivial incident of a lock of hair being cut from a woman, and pokes fun at the outsized importance placed on physical beauty and trivial matters among the aristocracy. It exemplifies the genre of the mock-heroic epic through its use of epic conventions like supernatural elements for trivial matters.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
