This\u0000research paper is an endeavor to study Medea along the trajectories of postcolonial discourse to suggest that she is a displaced outsider and a symbol\u0000of post-colonial survival. This paper argues that Medea’s act of infanticide\u0000is not a monstrous act as she was forced to refashion her identity as an\u0000outsider and a foreigner. Therefore, by killing her own children, she strikes\u0000a blow against the system and in this process, she reclaims her own dignity.\u0000In fact, for Medea, it serves as a means of self-assertion. Bhabha’s (1994)\u0000theory of Hybridity will furnish the main theoretical lens to critically\u0000evaluate the text through close reading. Though critical literature has\u0000critiqued Medea’s act of defiance, her act of infanticide has not been\u0000analyzed in a post-colonial context. Her self-assertion allows her to\u0000transcend spatial and temporal bounds.

Therefore, gender representation in school curricula has been the subject of research across the world since the 1970s. Although a handful of studies have been conducted in Pakistan, they have consistently reconfirmed deep-seated gender bias in textbooks despite governmental pledge to gender equality in education through administrative and financial investment over the past few decades. While previous studies have focused on primary- and secondarylevel textbooks from individual provinces, the current study reviews most recent higher-secondary English textbooks taught in schools and colleges affiliated with 8 KP boards as well as FBISE hence their impact on a large number of young men and women about to embark on professional journeys. Broadly informed by the theory of Anti-Oppressive Education (Kumashiro, 2000), this qualitative research has used directed content analysis to explore gender representation in the selected textbooks to conclude that despite governmental commitment to empower women through education, these Grade XI and XII textbooks launched in 2020 and 2021 respectively, fail to eliminate gender inequality from the curriculum. The article concludes by providing recommendations for systematic elimination of gender bias from the curriculum.","PeriodicalId":378534,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Research","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115189146","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}

The CPEC is a significant infrastructural project that aims to enhance connectivity between China's western region and Pakistan's Gwadar port, located in Baluchistan province. This connectivity will have certain impact in the region; specially the adjoining areas of Gwadar Port and the roads/ highways leading to Gwadar. This study focuses on understanding the perceptions of coastal communities towards the socioeconomic impact of CPEC, as it has the potential to bring both positive and negative changes to the region. The objective of this study is to understand the apprehensions and perceptions of the coastal communities in Balochistan regarding socio economic implications of the CPEC. To attain this objective, mixed methods approach has been adopted; incorporating both qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. Semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and surveys have been conducted to gather primary data from the local residents, government officials, and other stakeholders. The findings reveal a diverse range of perceptions among the coastal communities regarding the socioeconomic issues related to CPEC. While some participants expressed hope and confidence about the potential economic benefits and improved infrastructure, while others raised concerns about environmental degradation, displacement, and inequitable distribution of resources. These findings have implications for policymakers, project developers, and community stakeholders, highlighting the need for inclusive development strategies, environmental safeguards, and transparent governance mechanisms to address the concerns and leverage the opportunities associated with CPEC.

It analyzes how memes can be used as a form of social and political commentary and how they reflect society. Memes are an interesting phenomenon in the modern digital world. A meme is a simple way to convey a particular message as a form of funny illustration and visualization. Some memes are intended just to be funny, while others have additional meaning or purpose. Memes are taken randomly from the internet and then analyzed using critical discourse analysis. Discourse is the use of language or a communicating image within a certain context for a specific purpose. The theoretical framework is multimodal. Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis is the systematic integration of linguistic and visual aids to contribute some particular socially perceived contextual meaning(Kress 2009). Through this research work, the readers will get critical ideas to recognize the hidden meanings and messages behind memes in this modern digital world. It also discusses the functions of memes in making or changing someone’s perspectives.
