Title: Queer Gendering in Adrienne Rich's Selected Poems Authors: Tamang, Janaki Abstract: Adrienne Rich is one of the most famous American feminist poets in the modern world. She stated that women are gendered in the patriarchal society to be inferiors, victims and weak. In Rich's poems proposes that re-gendering discourse will help women to prove their own female identities away from the patriarchal heterosexual discourse which oppressed women along history. Being a feminist activist, she ultimately deals with the female issues, but her method of dealing is not the usual attack on males; her emphasis is on creation of females’ own community for the consolidation of their strength. While doing so, she supports lesbianism, which is the strategy to downplay the importance of men for women. Advocating a lesbian relationship among women, she challenges the notion of heterosexuality as a natural biological phenomenon. What is called natural is in fact constructed, and heterosexuality is also constructed by males for their pleasure. Thus, to challenge this masculine opportunism, she celebrates love among women.

Title: Wits of Individualism: Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises Authors: Tiwari, SitaDevi Abstract: has presented about the background of war, so some harsh effects of war upon the characters are overtly shown. Hemingway attempts to give emphasis on individual freedom having right to choose way of life as they want because they seek meaning according to their own way. Like Jake, an individual in the novel, disillusioned in post war area, tries to search out his individual existence through alienation and relationship with Brett. Similarly, Brett also utilizes her freedom of choice through her rationality. It seems that Hemingway intends to emphasize individuality where his characters can take action according to their interest; however, their presence becomes vain and live hopeless life. The concept of individual is projected as an unsocial behavior of the society. Such behaviors of the characters lead them into the existential crisis.

Title: Symbols in Selected Stories by Fitzgerald, Faulkner and Hemingway Authors: Paudel, Sharada Abstract: The present study undertakes the analysis of diverse symbols used in three American short stories written during 1920s and early 30s by distinct writers. The present research work deals with stories "Hills like White Elephants" by Ernest Hemingway. "Winter Dreams" by F. Scott Fitzgerald and "A rose for Emily" by William Faulkner. All of the three writers are from America and they are all contemporary writers of the time. The symbols used in these stories are distinctly American and represent the American Dream of the time. While using the symbols they have presented the then America. The symbols are rich in suggestive meanings and they do have multiple layers of meanings too. Symbolism helps to create meanings and emotions. In another way it can be said that symbols are used as a means to express specific ideologies, social structures and represent characteristics of specific cultures. Thus symbols carry different meaning depending upon one's cultural background. The meaning of a symbol is not inherent within the symbol itself rather it is culturally learned. All of these three writers have used ample symbols in their respective stories.

Title: Portrayals of National Politics in Festivals in Festival Season: A Rhetorical Analysis Authors: Bajgain, Pramila Abstract: This study analyzes critical discourse in Cartoon published in the Kantipur, Nagarik, Annapurna Post and Rebublica National Daily newspapers during the time of festival. Cartoons are the illustrative images presented in the form of art but convey real meanings and are easily understood by the audiences if they are familiar with the context. Cartoons portray the juxtaposed message that brings a contrast between the rich and the poor during festivals. Cartoons blame the big heads specially the government than rather addressing the cultural and social values through different perspectives. Cartoons covering festivals are quite easier to read. The cartoons published during festivals have developed a trend of focusing more on the issues of price hike than on other issues. There are adequate number of cartoons being published in the newspapers, magazines and other forms of print media. However an analytical study on these cartoons has not yet been carried on in Nepal. This study is an attempt to fill in this blank; as it concentrates on how cartoon projects festival time and what message it brings towards the audience. The cartoons in the daily newspapers have helped the people to know more about the political realm as it is easier to get the meaning and have made them aware of the deficiencies and selfishness of the political parties and leaders. When the article cannot be made directly faulting the governance system the political cartoons during the festival season has proved to be adequate for the readers to understand the situation in a whole through rhetorical analysis.
