In contemporary times, the patterns of urbanization and the hierarchies embedded in them are largely connected to and resulted from the colonial rule. Global cities are characterized by the socio-economic polarizations in the population. The existing inequities between the urban and non-urban populations become more prominent due to direct foreign investments in global cities. Both the architecture and the urban space are affected by the discursive forces of the global cities along with the built environment which also bears the impacts. The significance of the historical processes of globalization have been downplayed in the economic and presentist analyses of how the contemporary global cities are formed. The growth of research has immensely expanded in the last three decades in the history of colonialism and the postcolonial architecture and urbanism. What is reflected in recent studies of postcolonial criticism is that how the postcolonial urbanism is more attentive to the role and activities of the native as alternative voices and visions. This paper will also critically analyze how the term ‘global city’ has been appropriated by the discursive forces of globalization to represent and reify, a particular aspect of both the city’s activity as well as of the world, the world of economy. Hence, postcolonial criticisms become instrumental in dealing with the issues of representations, globalization, nationalism, historiography and cultural identities.","PeriodicalId":205595,"journal":{"name":"New Literaria","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123984956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Witches, the antagonist of most of the fairy tales are portrayed as the epitome of evil: wicked and scary old crones who abduct and devour children. Contemporary fairy tales, in contrast to conventional ones, offer an entirely different portrayal of witches as young and courageous women signifying virtue. The witches in fairy tales who were pictured as a threat to the heroine or hero are now presented as central characters around which the entire plot revolves. This paper attempts to examine how such a shift happened by analysing Katherine Arden’s Winternight Trilogy, a fairy tale consisting of novels The Bear and the Nightingale (2017), The Girl in the Tower (2018) and The Winter of the Witch (2019) to understand the relevance of contemporary fairy tales in reconstructing the image of witch from a havoc creator to a saviour. It also seeks to study how the depiction of witches in fairy tales has evolved from a marginalized position to a central figure over time and its significance in the present scenario.","PeriodicalId":205595,"journal":{"name":"New Literaria","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129331992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In his novel Jalaputra, which is translated into English as Sons of the Sea, Harishankar Jaladas describes about several rituals, Monosha Puja, gods and goddesses of fishermen, their prayers and recitation of manuscript etc. The fishermen of North Patenga lead their lives depending upon the mercy of the sea and they are also dependent on the moneylenders. They can never get release from the oppression of the moneylenders. Despite their misfortunes and oppression, these hard-working fishermen too have their own cultures and rituals, hopes and desires, moments of well and woe, love and hatred that are very much reflected in the novel. These fishermen are very aware of their cultural unity and identity. They have a strong respect for their own institutions and a firm belief in the rightness of their ideals. A strong bond of kinship and cooperation is also discernible among them. Fishermen also have their folklore, songs and stories. During their fishing work, they derive mental pleasure by singing folksongs on themes of everyday life. This paper will explore their rituals, customs and cultural elements that constitute them as separate entities. It will also discover several religious rituals and festivities which are the main magnetisms of this particular fishing community.","PeriodicalId":205595,"journal":{"name":"New Literaria","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126269328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through myriads of Sita, the text focuses not just on her spiritual being but her identity as a woman. This novel warrants a study as it explores Sita’s immense strength and humanises her journey amidst the unknown and mysterious forest. The study intends to examine the relationship between Sita and the nature, because the forest in this tale is an imperative source of empowerment. Sita draws her strength in her painful solidarity and exile in the forest. It provides her voice, wisdom and agency to concede that each individual has their own insights of dharma, Sita argues and challenges the stark dichotomy between good and bad, instating that perspective is something that differs. In the line the cultural ecofeminist current that initially dominated justified women's interest in the preservation or well-being of the environment in terms of their inherent caring or nurturing nature and their common subjection to patriarchal systems, the paper intends to investigate relationship between Sita and environment. The paper also aims to study the association of a woman with nature that is embraced as a source of power and the ways in which Sita’s relationship to the environment empowers her to speak for all the other women of Ramayana, even those outcasts and undermined, creating a more modern and liberal version of women in Indian mythology. Thus, this is an important study in current time as it aims to explore Sita with agency in the different stages of the narrative.","PeriodicalId":205595,"journal":{"name":"New Literaria","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115275369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Jhar means bush or forest and khand denotes some part of earth or land. Then Jharkhand means the land of forest. This eastern state of India is famous for its natural resources and natural beauties. This treasure is protected by the Adivasi or tribal people of Jharkhand. Adivasi means the earliest or the first inhabitant of the land. It can be said that Adivasi and Nature are not separate entities. They are a complement to each other. Their culture, tradition, food, festival, and language are age-old, rich, and closely connected with nature. There are thirty-two tribal groups in Jharkhand and Munda tribe is one of the major tribal communities in Jharkhand. Adi-Dharam is a book written by Ram Dayal Munda who was an anthropologist, folklorist, linguist, and academician. He was awarded Padmashri in 2010 for his immense contribution to Art in Jharkhand. This book Adi-Dharam is documentation of the religious beliefs of Adivasi of India especially in the Munda tribal community of Jharkhand, published in 2000. Through this book, Ram Dayal Munda tried to make a collection of festivals rituals, narratives, and prayers of Sarhul, Karma, and Sohorai festivals. This paper would deal with Ram Dayal Munda’s keen observations of festival prayers, rituals, and festival narratives. This paper would also reflect on questions like how does the tribal culture connect with Mother Nature? It would also examine the ecosophical aspects of the Sarhul, Karma, and Sohorai festivals of adi dharam or ancient religion of the Munda tribe.","PeriodicalId":205595,"journal":{"name":"New Literaria","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130931802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Privacy is important for women;to think, to create and just to rest from hours of paid and unpaid (domestic) labour. Virginia Woolf's 1929 essay, A Room of One's Own, argues for this space. Through a Marxist lens, she argued that for women to end patriarchal hegemony they need to re-write their own 'fiction' (their narratives), and for that, they need money and space. But today, amid the pandemic, one's need for their own room has become extremely significant. The idea of self-quarantining, however, remains a privilege in countries, like India, due to its massive population and extreme poverty. And this leads to a very important question, has the pandemic robbed women of their personal space and privacy in their households, more than ever? The present pandemic has forced us to rethink the politics of postcolonial feminism and how women find themselves in conflict with their limiting space. The pressing problems in the postcolonial world such as domestic abuse, lack of financial independence and education, a huge family and unending domestic labour, have been heightened in the pandemic. Thus, Woolf's call for space (both physical and political) for women is significant. In this paper, I would like to analyse how the pandemic has affected the domestic space of women in India, through Woolf's politics of feminism. And perhaps how there will be a need to re-define the politics of postcolonial feminism, post the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":205595,"journal":{"name":"New Literaria","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130026733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As teachers around the world, in various socio-economic contexts, negotiate on a daily basis, the challenges of shifting gear to 'remote'- teaching, it is pertinent to ask what the implications of this change are for any commitment to postcolonialism. If the object of pedagogy is to transform the student from object to subject, in Paulo Freire's classic formulation, how does the process play out under the current conditions of teaching and learning, which, it seems, are here to stay? I proceed on the basis of my experience of teaching English literature in a suburban campus in India, where, as it is, teachers operate within minimal infrastructure and must deal with varying levels of linguistic competence within the student body. What additional challenges are posed by online teaching in such a scenario? How can postcolonial analyses help uncover the stakes of teaching and learning in a suburban Indian context? What larger implications does this have for the teaching of literature in particular, and pedagogy in general? In other words, what does a thoroughgoing postcolonial pedagogy under these circumstances look like?","PeriodicalId":205595,"journal":{"name":"New Literaria","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132561662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

'Virtual' has become 'real' and real has taken a backseat in the heaven called 'home'. In this techno-savvy, digital, virtual world;it is imperative for the 'Humanities' to adapt the new normal.
