Thinking Activity : Unit 3 : CS in practice

Hello Readers! Welcome to my blog

This is my academic blog on thinking activity on cultural studies unit 3 cultural studies of Hamlet and To His Coy Mistress. This task given by Dr. Dilip Barad head of English department.

Q : 1 The poem 'To His Coy Mistress' tells us a lot about the speaker, the listener and also the audience for whom it is written. But what does he not show? As he selects these rich and multifarious allusions, what does he ignore from his culture?

Andrew Marvell's "To His Coy Mistress" tells the reader a good deal about the speaker of the poem, much of which is already clear from earlier comments in this volume, using traditional approaches. We know that the speaker is knowledgeable about poem and conventions of classic Greek and Roman literature, about other conventions of love poetry, such as the courtly love conventions medieval Europe, and about other Biblical passages. The poem also tells us lot about the speaker, listener and also the audience but let we discus what does he not show?

• What does he (Arnold) not show? What does he ignore from his culture?

He clearly does not think of poverty, the demographics and multifarious allusions, and socioeconomic details of which would show how fortunate his circumstances are. For example, it has been estimated that during this are at least one quarter of the European population was below the poverty line. Nor does the speaker think of disease as a daily reality that he might face. To be sure , in the second and especially in the third stanza he alludes to future death and dissolution. But wealth and leisure and sexual activity are his currency, his coin for present bliss. Worms and marble vaults and ashes are not present, hence not yet real.

Q : 2 If these two characters were marginalized in Hamlet, they are even more so in Stoppard's handling. If Shakespeare marginalised powerless in his own version of Rozsencrantz and Guildenstern,Stoppard has marginalized us us all in an era when - in the eyes of some-all of us are caught up in forces beyond our control. 

In the play of Hamlet, there are two marginalized characters; Rosencrantze and Guildenstern. In the twentieth century the dead, or never -living,  Rosencrantz and Guildenstern were resuscitated by Tom Stoppard in a fascinating re-seeing of their existence, or its lack. In Stoppard's version, they are even more obviously two ineffectual pawns, seeking constantly to know who they are, why they are here, where they are going. In contemporary Indian culture we can see that people was marginalized under the power of politics. No anyone can raise their voice against politics  democracy. 

      Thank you 😊

  

Thinking Activity : Unit 4 C. S. in practice.

Hello Readers!

This is my academic blog on thinking Activity of cultural studies unit 4 : studies of Frankenstein in contemporary Indian culture. And popular writer and his Market. This task given by Dr. Dilip Barad head of English department. 

Q : 1 Frankenpheme in contemporary Indian culture. 

Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein address such critical contemporary scientific and political concern while at the same time providing Saturday Afternoon entertainment to generations. In the Routledge Literary Sourcebook on Frankenstein, Timothy Morton uses the term Frankenstein, drawn from phonemes and graphemes, as "elements of culture that are derived from Frankenstein. " Either separate work of art ie inspired, or another medium. 

Broadly defined, Frankephemes demonstrate the extent of the novel's presence in the 1824 Canning speech in parliament, in today's global debates about such things as genetically engineered food, and  of course in parliament, in today 's global debates about such things as genetically engineered foods, and of course in fiction and other media. 

• Some of  thousands of retellings, parodies, and other selected frankenphemes as they have appeared in popular fiction, drama, film and television. Indian writer also inspired by mary Shelly's novel Frankenstein and wrote Story with different perspective. 

• One of the Indian hindi drama; Enthiran translate  Robot is a 2010 Indian Tamil-language science fiction action film written and directed by S. Shankar. Dr. Vasi, a brilliant scientist, builds chitti, a unique robot, who is programmed to protect mankind and also feel human emotions. Problems arise when chitti fall in love with Dr. Vasi's girlfriend. Obviously the way of storytelling is different but some things is we connected with Frankenstein. Like the Dr. Vasi and Victor both are very brilliant scientists. They try to do something new. One make a robot and another made a human being but his looking like a monster and the movie we can see that Dr. Vasi make a robot but his look like a human being. Their both creation feel emotion for their creators wife. So some kind of movie's director inspired by mary Shelly's novel Frankenstein. So we can say that mary Shelly's novel Frankenstein is well known in the world. There are many adaptation is done.
