Abstract

‘The Maid Servant’s Story’ is one of the short stories featured in Chitra Banerjee’s book ‘Arranged Marriage’. The short stories in this book seem to share similar themes such as female suffering and emancipation, the immigrant experience, cultural differences between the East and the West as well as a few other themes. In ‘The Maid Servant’s Story’, we are introduced to Manisha who is an Indian young woman educated in the United States. She is very close with her aunt, Mashi, and through the latter’s storytelling, she learns of a heart-breaking secret in her family involving class and gender differences. This study aims to examine the representations of silence involving shame, secrets, and gossip in this particular text. The method used in this study is a qualitative study analyzed by the postcolonial feminist approach. The results showed that the author portrayed particular characters as showing a tendency to remain silent or having a lack of verbal response to a) shame, as a result of having failed to live up to people’s social and moral expectations, b) secrets, as this can jeopardize another person’s well-being, and c) gossips, which serves as a mechanism to control the behaviour of dominant individuals, but can also be used to threaten a family’s social and prestigious status.

Abstract

The digital age has transformed parenting practices, with an increasing reliance on digital devices for managing children’s behavior, particularly as calming tools. This study addresses the growing phenomenon of digital parenting, highlighting its implications on child development and family dynamics. Despite the benefits of digital media, concerns persist regarding its overuse for emotional regulation, which may impede children’s self-regulation skills and parent-child interactions. This study aims to explore the evolution of research on digital parenting using bibliometric analysis. A comprehensive dataset was extracted from the Scopus database, focusing on publications from 2020 to 2024 within the Social Sciences domain. The inclusion criteria included peer-reviewed, open-access articles written in English. A systematic methodology ensured the analysis of performance metrics, trends, and co-authorship patterns. Results indicate a significant increase in scholarly attention to digital parenting, with 837 articles meeting the inclusion criteria. Leading contributions emerged from journals such as Sustainability Switzerland and Education Sciences, with prolific authors and institutions from the United Kingdom and the United States dominating the field. The analysis underscores the interdisciplinary nature of the topic, reflecting contributions from education, media studies, and child development. This study offers valuable theoretical insights and practical recommendations, emphasizing balanced digital media use and informed parenting strategies to foster healthier family dynamics.
