Abstract

This paper underlines the idea of expressionism in flash fiction of Elliot Flower entitled Winner’s Loss. Expressionism exposes matters of distorted people and object, emotional pain and anguish, unrealistic feelings of modern world, and symbolistic understanding. This story tells about someone who entrusts the money to the main character name Jack and he accidentally loses the money and accuses someone else of being thief. It turns out the money is taken by Jack’s wife because he lies to his wife by saying he did not have the money. By using qualitative method and explorative approach, the analysis includes how any gambling is actually expression of the desperate men. Those who hold to such gambling then are already at loss from the beginning. The money being gambled belongs to anyone but the ones that use it for another useful matter. In conclusion, expressionism in Flower’s flash fiction indicates how the gambling, the loss of money, and the wife’s attitude may intertwine consecutively to show any changing in the story of anyone’s life in general.

Abstract

This research examines the challenges encountered by rustic individuals in comprehending implicative language. Rustic individuals, characterized by their low levels of education and exposure to sophisticated linguistic nuances, face significant barriers when confronted with implicit communication. Residing in uncomplicated, culturally straightforward environments, these individuals are often unable to grasp the implicit meanings embedded within language, particularly in conversational contexts, which delves into the impediments posed by implicative language for individuals categorized as the "common man and also young children typically characterized by low levels of education and literacy. These individuals reside in uncomplicated, culturally straightforward societies where language usage tends to be explicit and devoid of sophistication. The study explores the challenges faced by individuals who lack awareness of the nuanced rules and philosophical underpinnings of language, particularly regarding the implicit nuances inherent in conversational quotations. Despite extensive research on language learning and the development of new linguistic theories, the obstacles associated with implicit discourse have received limited attention. This study emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing these barriers to effective communication between individuals from less educated backgrounds and those proficient in sophisticated language usage. The increasing complexity of language expression, driven by modern education and the proliferation of new terminologies, exacerbates this issue, marginalizing those who lack literary and sophisticated language comprehension. The term "sophisticated" refers to individuals possessing high intelligence, extensive worldly experience, and comprehensive knowledge of language nuances, who frequently employ implicative language. Such individuals are adept at navigating the intricacies of language rules, further complicating communication between individuals from diverse linguistic backgrounds.

Abstract

This research analyzes metaphors in Bruno Mars' song lyrics, namely Talking to the Moon, It Will Rain, and Just the Way You Are. This study uses a qualitative approach with the theory of Lakoff & Johnson (2003) which divides metaphors into three types: ontological, structural, and orientational metaphors. The results of the analysis show that the metaphors in the songs describe feelings of love, sadness, and deep emotional connection. This research provides insight into the use of metaphor as a tool to convey complex emotions and meanings in song lyrics. Overall, 23 metaphors were found with a distribution of: 35% ontological metaphors, 35% structural metaphors, and 30% orientational metaphors.

Abstract

Recently, there has been an increase in studies examining equivalence in meaning in translation, particularly in relation to how translators convey complex layers of meaning. While many studies have investigated equivalence, they often emphasize literal interpretations and frequently neglecting the underlying nuances associated with these translations. This paper presents a comparative analysis of Eugene Nida’s theories of dynamic and formal equivalence and Peter Newmark’s concepts of semantic and communicative translation. These theories represent foundational approaches to achieving equivalence in translation, particularly between culturally distinct languages like English and Arabic. This study analyzes how these theories inform Nida’s dynamic equivalence prioritizes the effect on the target audience and it aiming to create a natural and culturally adapted translation, while his formal equivalence focuses on maintaining the original structure and linguistic form of the source text. In contrast, Newmark’s semantic translation strives for precise meaning, even at the cost of readability, while communicative translation emphasizes accessibility and cultural resonance. Through the applications, benefits, and limitations of each approach, this study highlights how these theories address different translation needs, from preserving textual accuracy to enhancing reader comprehension. Practical examples are provided in both Arabic and English to illustrate the distinct impacts of these theories. finally, this paper argues that the choice of translation approach depends on the specific goals and audience of the translation task, contributing insights to the ongoing discourse on effective translation strategies.

Abstract

This paper examines the aesthetics of the female body in Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things (1997), through the intrusive descriptions of its surface. Drawing on Gérard Genette ‘s concept of ‘focalization,’ it analyses how Roy’s narrative voice navigates the representation of female characters, their bodies and the politics of gender and power wherein these representations operate. The study contends that although such descriptions seems overemphasized it is a technique that brings out objectification and commodification of women in a patriarchal society. By identifying the difference between external focalization (the position of the observer) and internal focalization (that of the character), the paper deconstructs the vanity of aestheticization and an ideological reading. This paper aims to investigate aestheticization of the female body in Roy’s novel by asking how such descriptions can be considered as a type of narratorial interruption when they seem to go beyond the need of the story or characterization. Hence, this literary analysis engages with the current discussions of feminist literary criticism as it relates to narrative form, gender politics and, or, the representation of subjects in contemporary literature.

Abstract

This study explores the depiction of intercultural sensitivity in Kamila Shamsie's novel Home Fire (2017), focusing on the complexities of cultural identity, family dynamics, love, belonging, and power relations. It examines the novel’s characters and their relationships to demonstrate how Shamsie addresses the tension between cultural heritage and national identity. The study emphasizes the importance of empathy, compassion, and cultural competence in fostering meaningful connections across cultural divides. The research adopts a qualitative methodology, approaching the text through a hermeneutic lens, with Bennett's Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity 1986 serving as a framework to examine the underlying cultural dynamics.

Abstract

This paper conducts a stylistic analysis of Linda Hogan's eco-friendly poem “Song for the Turtles in the Gulf,” examining its ecological concerns through the exploration of tone, symbols, images, personification, and intertextuality. Against the background of the 2010 BP oil spill, this poem issues a reflection on the disastrous impact of human endeavouring and development on the environment and, more specifically, sea turtles. This paper provides an analysis of how Hogan uses literary elements to appeal to the emotions and raise awareness about the environment to show that the poem challenges contemplation and rightful action in view of the raging environmental degradation. The analysis emphasizes the turtle as a symbol of vulnerability and environmental degradation. Moreover, the paper also analyzes some selected techniques of Hogan, such as personification and intertextuality, which make the reader think more about the ecological context and humanity’s critical position on it. In conclusion, this research benefits the field of ecocriticism by showing that close reading of literature enriches the moral and affective calls of environmental literature.

Abstract

This paper seeks to analyze Shazaf Fatima Haider’s How It Happened using postcolonial feminist framework and through close textual analysis, deconstructing the binarism of gender discrimination in the novel. Women within the traditional patriarchal structures are presented through Dadi’s prescriptive role as she plays in the life of women through putting across structured belief system which dominates women’s existence. Dadi's admonitions, such as the notion that "good girls marry boys of their mothers’ choice," reinforce the binary division between obedient women and rebellious ones, stripping women of agency in both marriage and emotional autonomy. These Social, institutional and cultural norms served and depicted women as only valuable in the kitchen or as sex objects that silence women and value them in comparison to men. By caricaturing these gender roles, Haider addresses social and institutional unfreedom for women still judged by society as unfit if they don’t conform to traditional gender roles. Mainstreaming the conflict between women’s power and desire for freedom, Haider’s novel raises questions about colonial gendered perspectives, opposing their continuation, and calls to rethink these constructions to free women from these male-dominate definitions. Thus, through such binaries, How It Happened helps to deepen a conversation on gender, culture and postcolonial feminism.
