Women stereotypes are highlighted in the discourse of cartoons, probably like any other artform in the world. This paper is an attempt to analyse the representation of women folk in the cartoons of Keralam, during the post independent period of India. The cartoons of veteran male cartoonists namely Cartoonist Toms, Cartoonist Yesudasan and Cartoonist Thomas have been analysed for the study. The misrepresentation of women characters in their cartoons are analysed. The ‘domineering wife’ stereotype in the cartoons portraying the domestic setting and the household is not the fair representation of women of the time, given the patriarchal tradition. Women’s empowerment is shown mainly as their physical empowerment in the cartoon series. The male gaze in the commodification of female body in the cartoons is analysed. The male ego in the nurturing of ideal woman characters by the male cartoonists is problematized in the paper. The images used in this paper are collected from archives and the sources of images, as it is mentioned in the bibliography, are old collections of magazines, which are fifty years or more old. These cartoons are retrieved from the archives compiled at Appan Thampuran Smaraka Library in Thrissur, Kerala.","PeriodicalId":425253,"journal":{"name":"ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125154256","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 findings indicated that awareness and attitudes toward eco-friendly fiber goods are strongly correlated, and that education level is favorably correlated with awareness. Additionally, it was shown that female respondents were more likely than male respondents to have favorable opinions about eco-friendly fiber goods. The adoption of eco-friendly fiber goods was, however, found to be significantly constrained by their high cost. The results of this research may help clothing businesses and governments understand how to encourage sustainable consumer behavior in the Indian market.","PeriodicalId":425253,"journal":{"name":"ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117084372","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 study was undertaken with the purpose of exploring the concept of autobiography, its societal implications, and fostering an understanding of our own identity and humanity by delving into the lives of others from different times and locations. The main objective was to shed light on the nature of self-awareness and our interconnectedness with the human experience. Further, it discussed individuality, which encompasses our perceptions of our personality traits, physical attributes, skills, values, and duties as well as the understanding that we exist as unique beings. And has also shown that practice of autobiographical art can be found in a variety of Indian paintings, which are about protagonist’s journey to share their experiences with the world.Moreover, the subjectivity of arts leads to autobiographical art practices, as subjectivity in Indian art arises from the artist’s personal experience, belief, and values. The autobiography is used to express the artist’s individual perspective on life, culture, and the world around them. Indian artists have continued to explore their subjectivity through their art, often using it to explore themes of identity, politics, and social issues.Further, autobiographical art in India can also be seen as a way for artists to explore their own personal struggles and triumphs, and to share their stories with the world. Furthermore, it also explored the complexities of the Indian diaspora, and to create a dialogue between the artist and a viewer and to create space for dialogue and understanding.","PeriodicalId":425253,"journal":{"name":"ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts","volume":"50 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131028810","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}

However, the media revolution began in 2000 with the birth of social media. Like other forms of media, social networks are a means of communication. However, it provides more social interaction using highly available and scalable methods. Customers and businesses alike can benefit from social media. The effectiveness of social media marketing strategies heavily relies on the visual designs used in content creation, making it an essential element for businesses to consider.This research paper explores the impact of emerging design trends in social media on business efficiency and growth in India. Social media has become an integral part of the marketing strategy for businesses of all sizes in India. With the rise of new technologies, social media platforms are constantly evolving, and design trends are emerging to keep up with the changing needs and preferences of users. This research paper aims to analyze the impact of these emerging design trends on the efficiency and growth of businesses in India. The research methodology involves a systematic review of existing literature, followed by qualitative research using case studies and interviews with industry experts. The findings suggest that businesses that adopt emerging design trends in social media can achieve higher levels of engagement, increased brand awareness, and improved customer loyalty, leading to greater efficiency and growth. The paper concludes with recommendations for businesses in India to incorporate emerging design trends in their social media strategy to enhance their efficiency and growth in the competitive market.Some of the emerging design trends that have been identified and analyzed in this research paper include the use of video content, interactive features, user-generated content, and personalized marketing. These trends have been found to have a significant impact on user engagement and brand perception, thereby affecting business efficiency and growth.The research findings also indicate that while the adoption of emerging design trends can lead to benefits for businesses, it is essential to consider the target audience and their preferences when implementing these trends. For instance, younger audiences are more likely to engage with video content and interactive features, while older audiences may prefer more traditional forms of marketing. Therefore, businesses need to tailor their social media strategy based on their target audience to achieve maximum benefits.Overall, this research paper highlights the importance of incorporating emerging design trends in social media strategy for businesses in India. As social media continues to evolve, businesses need to stay up-to-date with the latest design trends to remain relevant and competitive in the market. By adopting these trends, businesses can enhance their efficiency and growth, leading to greater success in the long run.","PeriodicalId":425253,"journal":{"name":"ShodhKosh: Journal of Visual and Performing Arts","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127762066","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}
