Diaspora writing is a recent trend in literature. Many writers especially women writers excel in this field. These diasporic writers though they live in a foreign land always hold their love in their writings. India is a land of myth and legends and hence many Indian writers borrow their plot from Hindu mythology which is used as a literary device. Many writers of the independence and post-independence era used mythology to spread nationalism and to guide humanity in the right path. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is a diasporic writer who always holds a piece of her love for motherland in her writings. She extensively uses Hindu mythology in her works. She uses these myths to instill courage in her woman protagonists. She tries to prove how myths guide the immigrant women to overcome their conflicts in life. Her novels explain how myths instruct the humanity to lead a righteous life.

Love, Kindness faithfulness and tolerance are widely recognized traits of feminine sensibility. Women have multifaceted personalities. Many are able to tune themselves according to the ambience they live. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni throws light on immigrant women. She picturesquely portrays the South Asian women’s plight, violence and individuality in a foreign land. The reader may never miss to notice the autobiographical elements in her works. She never misses to take us to her hometown Kolkata in her works. Women and particularly immigrant women are vibrant in her novels. She never portrays women as a weak sex. They strive to establish their identity at home, work place and in a foreign land. Divakaruni vividly portrays how women have to undergo a sea of pain to carve her own identity in the midst of gender and race dominated society. This paper ponders the introversion of immigrant women in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s “The Vine of Desire”

Shed Light

This article examines the continued resonance of Bourguibist discourses on modernity within Tunisia, how his political legacy continues to serve as a point of reference for diverse political movements, and therefore seeks to question how this conceptualization of modernity remains hegemonic. I posit that the national narrative of “modernity” conveyed by Bourguiba in the post-independence era should be understood as an arena of struggle over power and identity, and accordingly that both serve to shed light on how collective memory is mobilized as a political idiom to legitimise certain ideological agendas and views on what is deemed the “right” Tunisian national identity. With specific reference to Ennahda and Nidaa Tounes, I argue that understanding the prevailing political and social scene of post-revolutionary Tunisia necessitates examination of the social construction of Bourguiba, how he has come to be “mythologised” in order to generate support at a national level, and more importantly how this functions within broader discursive strategies towards power. In seeking to move beyond the current binarism that situates Islamists and so-called “secularists” (supposedly heirs of Bourguibism) in opposition, this study seeks to demonstrate the commonalities within their respective appropriations of the Bourguibist legacy in the post-revolutionary context, and thereby to elucidate how his normative heritage serves as a touchstone for seemingly contradictory ideological currents.

The Right

Like many women writers of her day, American playwright Sophie Treadwell began her career in journalism, working at the San Francisco Bulletin and the New York Herald Tribune, where she wrote fanciful vignettes before earning the right to cover sensational murder trials of female defendants and report from behind the front lines of war (including an interview with Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa). These assignments appear to have imprinted her dramatic style, which often tempered realistic situations with surreal, sometimes violent, imagery; a well-made play structure with an episodic logic; and the predictability of a character type with an unexpected act of rebellion. Treadwell, who wrote over forty plays (seven of which were produced on Broadway), is best known for Machinal (1928), an expressionist drama about a ‘young woman’ who is coercively compelled to enact the roles of secretary, daughter, wife, and mother over the short course of her doomed life. Only in an illicit love affair does she find true happiness, taking inspiration from her lover’s tales of renegade justice in Mexico to free herself from her oppressive marriage by killing her husband. But her freedom is short-lived, as the social order hails her back into its defining structures. After being forced to fit the pre-set narratives of a sensationalistic press, her life is condemned by the law before finally being taken from her by way of the electric chair.

The conclusion contends that these worldwide women writers in Paris have not sought to market themselves in ways that would entail compromising their positions and priorities, but have instead inserted their narratives into a complicated setting to allow them to draw from their strengths to make lasting impressions. Their work has far too often been overlooked in the Parisian literary landscape where it has emerged and to which it is nonetheless making a profoundly meaningful contribution, and it is time for us to recognize the revolution that these writers are a part of, each creating in inimitable style and adding their voice to a movement of novelty that comes at precisely the right time for the French literary tradition.

Perempuan Jawa Islam masih dinilai tidak memiliki hak berbicara di era prakemerdekaan Indonesia. Hal tersebut dikarenakan mereka tidak memiliki modal kultural, kapital, dan bahkan modal teologi.

Penelitian ini menggunakan sumber data primer berupa naskah drama Nyai Ahmad Dahlan (2017) dengan metode analisis dekonstruksi dari Spivak mengenai subaltern. Teknik analisisnya adalah dengan mencermati narasi suara subaltern perempuan Jawa Islam oleh pengarang, kemudian narasi tersebut ditunda pemaknaannya.

The powers of Soviet fi lm editing extended not only to the sphere of creating domestic fi lms, but also to such areas as the selection and distribution of foreign fi lms. The topic of the article is ideological and aesthetic criteria by which a foreign picture received the right to be shown in the USSR. Editor’s work aff ected all the elements of the cinema process: from the «little things in life» to the fundamental issues of confronting social systems. The rental of a foreign – especially «capitalist» fi lms, sometimes of the most innocent content, nevertheless assumed the presence of a certain ideological message (even if it was not originally intended). One way or another, an idea should have formed in the viewer’s mind: the bourgeois “foreign land” is inevitably inferior to the advantages of living in the country of “triumphant socialism”. The fi lm background of analysis is mainly the work of leading capitalist cinematographies: USA, France, Italy, Germany and Japan. The directions of editorial work related to the adaptation of foreign paintings for the Soviet screen are considered: “political” and “aesthetic” remounting; practice of the names and “renaming” of the fi lm; the reasons why the contents were cut; culture of Soviet film dubbing; the history of «shelf» foreign fi lms in the USSR.

In the field of Hindi literature, along with men, women writers have also contributed significantly with their valuable works. Here the pages of the history of the past India are filled with specific works of Indian women. At that time they had an opportunity to get education like men. In the course of time, bad practices in the society started increasing. Along with the independence of the country, the freedom of women was also abducted. It also stripped them of the right to equality and education. हिंदी साहित्य के क्षेत्र में पुरूषों के साथ-साथ नारी साहित्यकारों ने भी अपनी बहुमूल्य कृतियों से उल्लेखनीय योगदान दिया है । यहाँ अतीत भारत के इतिहास के पृष्ठ भारतीय महिलाओं की विशिष्ट कृतियों से भरे पड़े हैं । उस समय उन्हें पुरूषों के समान शिक्षा प्राप्त करने का अवसर मिलता था । कालांतर में समाज में कुप्रथाएँ बढ़ने लगी । देश की आज़ादी के साथ-साथ स्त्रियों की आज़ादी का भी अपहरण हुआ । इसमें उनसे समानता और शिक्षा का अधिकार भी छीन लिया गया ।

Manu Bhandari is a socialist writer of the post-independence era. His writings have the unique ability to catch macro and subtle changes coming in the society on the right surface. The effect of changes is always double - external and internal. One influence crushes a person from inside, and the other society gives equal support in making life hollow. The writer has raised the problems of married life on a double level, in her story she has depicted the subtle process of changing the relationship between the male-female traditional macro relationship. Manu Bhandari considers woman to be indispensable with the man in life, but she is not blind to her husband nor should she carry out the work of a housewife, only a machine. She also rivals her husband in political life to fulfill her principles, ideals and even marries or remarries when she feels alienated from her husband. Manu Bhandari creates various forms of woman in her story with full ease and seriousness to her modern woman, not as a woman draped by traditions, carrying the burden of slavery and slavery. मन्नू भंडारी स्वातंत्रोत्तर काल की समाजधर्मी लेखिका हैं। समाज में आने वाले स्थूल और सूक्ष्म परिवर्तनों को सही धरातल पर पकड़ने की अपूर्व क्षमता उनकी लेखनी में है। परिवर्तनों का प्रभाव सदा ही दोहरा होता है - बाह्य और आतंरिक। एक प्रभाव व्यक्ति को अंदर से कुरेदता है तो दूसरा समाज जीवन को खोखला बना देने में बराबर सहयोग पहुँचाता है। लेखिका ने दांपत्य-जीवन की समस्याओं को दोहरे स्तर पर उठाया है, उन्होंने अपनी कहानी में नारी-पुरुष परंपरागत स्थूल संबंध में बदलते संबंध की सूक्ष्म प्रक्रिया का चित्रण किया है। मन्नू भंडारी नारी जीवन में पुरुष के साथ को अनिवार्य मानती है लेकिन वह पति की अंधनुगामी नहीं है और न ही गृहिणी के दायित्व का निर्वाह करने वाली काम चलाऊ, मशीन मात्र। अपने सिद्धांतों, आदर्शों की पूर्ति के लिए वे राजनीतिक जीवन में भी पति की प्रतिद्वंदिता करती है और पति से अलगाव महसूस होने पर विवाह-विच्छेद या पुनर्विवाह भी करती है। मन्नू भंडारी अपनी कहानी में नारी के विविध स्वरूपों को रचकर उसके आधुनिक नारी को पूरी सहजता और संजीदगी के साथ उकेरती है, न की परंपराओं से दबी, कुचली और गुलामी का भार ढोती हुई नारी के रूप में।

Cloud computing is a recent trend in IT that moves computing and data away from desktop and portable PCs into large data centers, and outsources the “applications” (hardware and software) as services over the Internet. Cloud computing promises to increase the velocity with which applications are deployed, increase innovation, and lower costs, all while increasing business agility. But, is the migration to the Cloud the most profitable option for every business? This chapter presents a study of the basic parameters for estimating the potential infrastructure and software costs deriving from building and deploying applications on cloud and on-premise assets. Estimated user demand and desired quality attributes related to an application are also addressed in this chapter as they are aspects of the decision problem that also influence the choice between cloud and in-house solutions.
