{"title":"Social exclusion: Gendered experiences in the exclusive situations masked as inclusive and beyond","authors":"Apsara Dasgupta","doi":"10.33545/26648717.2023.v5.i2a.116","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33545/26648717.2023.v5.i2a.116","url":null,"abstract":"In the modern day, after a long history of reform, social exclusion seems to have decreased in certain areas, while in some areas, it is still rampant. Women, children, LGBTQ members, chronically ill as well as differently-abled people face social exclusion in various aspects. In this paper, I would like to focus on chronically ill or differently-abled people, and then further look into how gender inequalities play a role among chronically ill and differently abled people. In documents, as well as in appearance, these people are included in society, and in various social and institutional situations. However, reality is a bit different. Starting from schools to workplace to society to even certain family situations, they are excluded in many ways. Exclusions especially those on women, LGBTQ members, and other similarly marginalized people are irrational besides being problematic. Though some of the exclusions might be reasonable for certain groups of people like children or people with certain health conditions, but it seems that by excluding them from certain situations, and by doing it repeatedly, society develops a habit of excluding them from a lot of things, which are not only unnecessary, but also problematic. Society encourages this form of exclusion because it provides a false sense of superiority to the select ones included. These images of social exclusion, not only from certain activities, but from the status of an equal human reflect on the literature and the movies too. This exclusion is not only problematic in itself, but also has profound psychological effects on the excluded person or persons. Society, being phobic of differences, does not allow those people to be included in their core, who might threaten their homogeneity, or prove their existing habits, capabilities, and functions inadequate. The Covid-19 pandemic, affecting the whole world, without discrimination might have made it necessary to rethink inclusiveness and exclusiveness and their impacts on people. As social isolation became the norm, and the Covid-affected patients, especially at the beginning of the pandemic, were looked upon as taboos and were cornered besides being quarantined, it seemed fit to rethink what those people might go through who spend their entire lives feeling the same way covid patients felt in the early months of the pandemic.","PeriodicalId":470705,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in English","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135711815","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}

Drawing from Freud's pleasure principle, death drive, repetition repulsion and repression, and Caruth's concepts of trauma's delayed return, inaccessibility, and repetitive experience, the paper analyzes how the novels portray characters dealing with trauma's effects. In The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives, Bolanle embodies repression, reconciling past trauma as a fourth wife in a polygamous household. My Sister, the Serial Killer explores trauma and psychopathy, with Korede grappling with her sister's actions. Both novels delve into human psychology amid trauma, while Freud and Caruth's concept of trauma resonates as characters confront memories shaping their lives. These narratives offer insights into African fiction's trauma representation and its psychological impact. The study highlights the genre's ability to explore trauma's complexity, from repression to transformative influence.","PeriodicalId":470705,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in English","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135611244","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}

{"title":"The significance of marriage in Kate Chopin’s the story of an hour, Edith Wharton's the other two, and Katherine Ann porter's rope","authors":"Zinah Abdulhur Jabbar","doi":"10.33545/26648717.2023.v5.i2b.131","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.33545/26648717.2023.v5.i2b.131","url":null,"abstract":"To put it simply, marriage is a commitment that could be for life. It's a bond that is strongly connected with love, respect, tolerance, and support. But this is not always the case, which explains why some marriages finish with a divorce or a separation. For Christians, marriage is a gift from God; it is the right atmosphere to engage in sexual relations and build a family life. From the Islamic point of view, marriage is a religious duty, a moral safeguard, and a social commitment. Sociologists define it as a union involving two or more individuals, depending on the society. In most societies, a marriage is a social and legal contract between two people. It's considered the basis and foundation of family. Considering the three stories, Kate Chopin’s The Story of an Hour, Edith Wharton’s The Other Two, and Catherine Ann Porter's Rope, it is clear that marriage doesn’t have the same significance. In the three of them, marriage has a complex nature. The study aims at exploring the issue of marriage in the three works which were published between the end of the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century where the conditions of life of women and their role in society were limited. It was mainly after World War II with the rise of feminist movements that women were more widely heard. The different couples of the three stories are caught in a dilemma; they all have a failed relationship. In The Story of an Hour, Mrs. Mallard is suffocating in her marriage, and she finally dies at the end of the story. She found her freedom in death. The Other Two, is about marriage in general, not specifically the Waythorns and their marriage, but the matter is the same, it is a perplexing and complicated relationship. And finally, in Ann Porter's Rope, the relationship between a husband and wife is ambivalent and embittered. The wife again is frustrated with her husband. The tone of the story here too is melancholic as the image of the rope itself reveals. To summarize, this paper demonstrates how the three women writers depict the characters, both males and females, in their failed relationships. Moreover, it explores the stylistic devices used to examine the theme of marriage.","PeriodicalId":470705,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in English","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136007712","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 this study, we explore the multifaceted nature of bilingual language acquisition among adolescents, when linguistic habits and proficiency are becoming increasingly solidified during this critical phase. This study explores the intricate interplay of factors affecting bilingualism by drawing on 230 students from Gobind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology Pantnagar, Soban Singh Jeena University Almora, and Kumaun University Nainital. The survey examined areas ranging from the balance of language usage at home and with peers, the influence of formal education, prevalent linguistic challenges, and the integration of technology into language learning. According to preliminary findings, adolescents are capable of seamlessly navigating between languages, depending on their contextual needs. The majority of individuals have dedicated over five years to their current language of instruction, demonstrating that formal education in one's primary language significantly enhances proficiency. Although the journey is not without challenges, Grammar emerged as a prominent challenge, emphasizing the importance of a robust foundational language education. Further, intrinsic motivation and self-discipline are key components of bilingual language acquisition that cannot be understated. In an era characterized by global interconnectedness, this study underscores the imperativeness of recognizing and addressing the myriad factors influencing bilingual language development in adolescents. In this manner, educational systems can better prepare these young minds, resulting in a generation of proficient bilingual communicators.","PeriodicalId":470705,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in English","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135008501","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}

Since it was a time when the Soviet Union was under communist rule, and the government stifled dissident voices, a multitude of facts about the incident was concealed from the world. Alexievich endeavours to expose the otherwise unheard realities of the event in the selected work understudy by recording and documenting the diverse voices of Chernobyl disaster survivors. The study provides an alternate narrative of the tragic incident that contradicts the Soviet Union's propaganda. In this sense, the work represents resistance to an autocratic government.","PeriodicalId":470705,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in English","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136004932","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}
