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.
