Abstract

Renowned as a multifaceted figure in the 20th century, Sri Aurobindo engaged deeply in aesthetics, poetics, and Vedic and Upanishadic interpretations. His extensive writings spanned various disciplines, emphasizing the significance of literary discourse shaped by figurative thought in understanding human experience. This paper explores the pivotal role of metaphor in both common and literary discourse, offering a contemporary analysis of Sri Aurobindo's poetry. His philosophical contributions present an alternative to foundational ontological and epistemological assumptions in contemporary scientific thought. Using compelling metaphors, Sri Aurobindo illustrates the concealed depths of the mind and ego, comparing them to a temple crown emerging from waves. He envisions humanity as more than its conscious awareness, describing the momentary personality as a mere bubble on the vast ocean of existence. Sri Aurobindo's pursuit of elevated states of consciousness underscores his commitment to transformative exploration.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Nollywood films in promoting child rights in Nigeria. Using Development Media and Social Representation Theories, the study analyzed five locally produced movies and 663 respondents. The findings revealed that Nigerian films depict various issues of child rights, including neglect, child labor, emotional abuse, child battering, sexual abuse, gender discrimination, child kidnapping, child trafficking, and moral abuse. The study concluded that Nigerian movies provide a country perspective for deepening moral and social consciousness and advancing attitudinal change in child rights. The authors recommend that filmmakers continue producing films that address child rights issues to further advance justice against children.
