Further, it deals with how feminism has worked in the two different contexts and their emergence is brought to the light.

Insight Into

 The socio-political fiction novel is generally realistic and gives an implicit picture of the social environment of a place. This type of reading is less popular because it is difficult to interpret and is also of less interest to readers than other literature. One of the works that can reflect this literary type is the novel entitled “Orang-Orang Proyek” by Ahmad Tohari, which represents the real condition of the Indonesian community under their politic and social circumstances. This paper tries to break down the literary work using the deconstructive-reading method to read a text with multi-interpretation understanding where the version contains many probabilities of meaning. This study will be able to provide insight into the correct reading method according to the purpose and type of literacy used in literary works.  Novel fiksi sosial-politik umumnya realistis dan memberikan gambaran implisit tentang lingkungan sosial suatu tempat. Jenis bacaan ini kurang populer karena sulit untuk ditafsirkan dan juga kurang menarik bagi pembaca daripada literatur lainnya. Salah satu karya yang dapat mencerminkan jenis sastra ini adalah novel berjudul “Orang-Orang Proyek” oleh Ahmad Tohari, yang mewakili kondisi nyata masyarakat Indonesia di bawah kondisi sosial dan politik mereka. Makalah ini mencoba untuk memecah karya sastra menggunakan metode membaca dekonstruktif untuk membaca teks dengan pemahaman multi-interpretasi di mana representasi mengandung banyak kemungkinan makna. Penelitian ini akan dapat memberikan wawasan tentang metode membaca yang benar sesuai dengan tujuan dan jenis literasi yang digunakan dalam karya sastra.

Les unités hors norme constituent une partie importante du roman régional. Ce sont des régionalismes qui dominent les éléments du vocabulaire en question. Cependant le roman de Jean Rogissart Cellule XIII se distingue considérablement des textes des écrivains régionalistes. Dans le cadre de ce travail, nous proposons l’analyse de deux segments du substrat non codifié ci-dessous : 1) des formes répandues dans une aire ; 2) des unités appartenant à l’argot traditionnel. Il est à noter que le titre de notre article contenant le mot « fusion » montre l’importance de deux sous-systèmes de la langue dans la narration : l’insertion des lexèmes localement limités ainsi que des argotismes dans le tissu du texte est nécessaire pour l’identification des locuteurs et la caractérisation plus précise des événements. L’auteur ardennais qui a consacré son dernier roman à la guerre a réussi non seulement à décrire la souffrance physique et morale subie par le peuple, mais aussi à graver les traits les plus typiques du langage de ses compatriotes et de cette façon à sauvegarder le patrimoine linguistique. L’étude des termes régionaux et argotiques utilisés par le maître du roman ardennais et des outils de leur explication textuelle permet de décrypter les particularités du parler localement limité et de présenter le statut social de l’utilisateur du régiolecte et sa vision du monde.   Nonconventional lexical units have an important place in the regional novel. Regionalisms dominate among the elements of the marked vocabulary. However, the novel Cellule XIII by Jean Rogissart is considerably different from the works of writers-regionalists. In this study, we propose an analysis of the two following segments of an uncodified substrate: 1) local lexemes; 2) lexemes of a traditional argot. It is worth noting that the title of the article, which contains the word “fusion”, shows the importance of two language subsystems in the narrative: the insertion of territorially restricted units and argotisms into the fabric of an artistic text is necessary to identify the speaker and a more accurate description of events. The Ardennes author who devoted his novel to the theme of war, the main theme of the 10th International Conference on Argotology, managed not only to describe the physical and moral sufferings of the people, but also to engrave the characteristic features of their compatriots, and thus preserve the linguistic heritage. The study of the regional and argotic vocabulary used by the Ardennes novelist, and the techniques of its textual explication, makes it possible to decode the features of locally limited units and characterize the social status of a regional speaker and their worldview.

‘She will do as I have bidden her.’ Catherine Sloper is heiress to a fortune and the social eminence associated with Washington Square. She attracts the attention of a good-looking but penniless young man, Morris Townsend. His suit is encouraged by Catherine's romantically-minded aunt, Mrs Penniman, but her father, a clever physician, is convinced that his motives are merely mercenary. He will not consent to the marriage, regardless of the cost to his daughter. Out of this classic confrontation Henry James fashioned one of his most deftly searching shorter fictions. First published in 1880 but set some forty years earlier in a pre-Civil War New York, the novel reflects ironically on the restricted world in which its heroine is marooned, seating herself at its close ‘for life, as it were’. In his introduction Adrian Poole reflects on the book's gestation and influences, the significance of place, and the insight with which the four prinicipal players are drawn. The edition includes an account of the real-life tale that sparked James's imaginative genius.

Shakuntala is one of the most acclaimed women characters of Indian Literature. For the first time Shakuntala’s character originated in The Mahabharata. Since then she has been represented in various texts in various languages of India. The present paper is an attempt to analyze the representation of Shakuntala by the authors from ancient times to the present. For this purpose ancient work Abhijnana Shakuntalam by Kalidasa and the modern work Shakuntala: The Play of Memory by Namita Gokhale are studied. In Kalidasa’s Abhijnana Shakuntalam Shakuntala is the real daughter of Sage Vishvamitra and nymph Menka. However, she is adopted and brought up by Sage Kanva and his wife Gautmi. She is a rustic girl, brought up in a hermitage. With the progress of the play, she is married to King Dushyanta who forgets her because of a curse. Later, she was adopted by sage Kashyapa and his wife Aditi. She gives birth to a brave child Bharat and finally reunites with her husband. Shakuntala: The Play of Memory by Namita Gokhale was Published in 2005 and it is a challenging work of Indian English fiction. Like the remakes of films there may be re-invention and re-interpretation of old myths embodied in literary works. In her masterpiece Shakuntala, Namita Gokhale has portrayed the story of a woman named after the heroine of Kalidasa’s classic drama Abhijnana Shakuntalam. In contrast to her legendary namesake, she is bold, spirited and imaginative. Right from her childhood she is conscious of the discrimination towards female. In her marriage with a mahasamant, Srijan, she feels suffocated by social customs. Hungry for experience she deserts home to travel with a Greek horse merchant, Nearchus. Together they travel far and wide and surrender to unbridled pleasures. Shakuntala assumes the identity of Yaduri: the ‘fallen woman.’ But she forsakes this life as well to meet her salvation in her death at Kashi.

This research article focuses on the theme of violence and its representation by the characters of the novel “This Savage Song” by Victoria Schwab. How violence is transmitted through genes to next generations and to what extent socio- psycho factors are involved in it, has also been discussed. Similarly, in what manner violent events and deeds by the parents affect the psychology of children and how it inculcates aggressive behaviour in their minds has been studied. What role is played by the parents in grooming the personality of children and ultimately their decisions to choose the right or wrong way has been argued. In the light of the theory of Judith Harris, this research paper highlights all the phenomena involved: How the social hierarchy controls the behaviour. In addition, the aggressive approach of the people in their lives has been analyzed in the light of the study of second theorist Thomas W Blume. As the novel is a unique representation of supernatural characters, the monsters, which are the products of some cruel deeds, this research paper brings out different dimensions of human sufferings with respect to these supernatural beings. Moreover, the researcher also discusses that, in what manner the curse of violence creates an inevitable vicious cycle of cruel monsters that makes the life of the characters turbulent and miserable.
