Abstract

While Sufi literature is believed to be a powerful instrument in introducing a model of spiritual journey, the symbols in such type of literature are not always easy to digest. This paper aims to contribute to our understanding of the mystical content of Sufi literature with a particular focus on the symbolism representing the Sufism spiritual journey seen in a Sufi literary text written by Jalaluddin Rumi. This study was conducted using a semiotic approach as it embraces symbolism under its study area. Data are drawn from Rumi’s “The Philosopher and The Skipper”, a short story in a book titled “Tales from the Land of the Sufis”. Data are analyzed qualitatively ranging from collecting the data through a careful reading to coding the text for description. The findings reveal that the four main stages of the spiritual journey are consecutively symbolized by ship (shari’a), swimming (tariqah), ocean (ma’rifat), and a gift (haqiqat). Other supporting symbols include ‘Ali (salik and sublime spiritual position), philosopher (human intellect), Sam (murshid), sea voyage (suluk), the sailors (tariqah members), the skipper (khalifah), a small island (zawiyah), and empty object (zuhud). It is argued that effective and meaningful exploration of symbolism in Sufi literature might be best done through a semiotic approach.

Abstract

Violence plays a central role in Yasmina Reza's God of Carnage,  a play that offers a profound look into human nature within the framework of today's society. The play reveals the underlying brutality masked by superficial politeness, showing how civilized behaviour can quickly descend into chaos. The study therefore aims to uncover the layers of violence and show how the characters mitigate the violence inherent in their nature. Through the interactions of two couples, the study shows that beneath their polite surfaces lies a primal instinct of aggression, suggesting that humans have an innate tendency towards violence. The characters' conflicts escalate from a seemingly trivial quarrel over their children to explosive confrontations that reveal deeper frustrations and anxieties. The work highlights the fragility of social etiquette, suggesting that politeness is merely a thin layer over inherent barbarism. Ultimately, God of Carnage assumes that violence is an integral part of human nature, reinforced by societal pressures and expectations. The work invites the audience to ponder the duality of human behaviour and ask whether true decency can fully restrain our violent impulses, or whether we are fundamentally ruled by our wild instincts.

Abstract

This research focuses on analyzing symbols in a film with the aim of understanding the meaning and function of these symbols. The research method used is qualitative and refers to the theory developed by Charles Sanders Peirce. The data collection process was carried out through in-depth observation of the symbolic elements in the films that were the object of research. A qualitative approach provides the opportunity for researchers to holistically understand the context and significance of these symbols in the film narrative. Thus, this research aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the role and meaning of symbols in a cinematic context and how these symbols contribute to the audience's experience in capturing the messages and stories conveyed by films.This research was aimed to explain the symbol and meaning in Enrico Casarosa's animated film Luca (2021) and to describe the function of symbols in the film. There were five symbols found in the film; Vespa represented freedom, friendship and solidarity; Sea and land represented the zone of comfort but limited and challenging life; Umbrella represented the identity add protection; Trophy represented victory; Sea monster represented fear and prejudice.

Literature has long been a vital part of society, and Indian women have significantly contributed to this field. Their remarkable achievements in literature are widely recognised and appreciated. Women, known for their creativity and artistic flair, have a profound connection with literature, which demands considerable artistic imagination.

It provides an in-depth analysis of her fiction, with particular attention to her incorporation of ‘Popular Culture,’ and highlights how her works diverge from other novelists in introducing this element into Indian English literature.
