It focuses on the portrayal of the shifting faces of communitarian identity/politics by analyzing two digital versions of this historical event – one is Mehreen Jabbar's drama-film Ramchand Pakistani and the other is the adapted version of Razia Butt's novel Bano, broadcast by a private T.V Channel with the title of Dastaan. Based on the postmodernist shift from performance to performance, our argument foregrounds the digital representation of 1947 which offers new angles to view the subaltern story(ies) vis-à-vis the official history of nationalism by showing different characters who experience a fleeing sense of identity in their attempt to cope with the trauma of displacement and violence during 1947. In this article, the textual and digital versions of 1947 are read as cultural texts which embody the human and subjective experience and perceptions of ordinary human subjects from both sides of the divide, either during the historical event of Partition as sufferers or survivors or in current scenario in the wake of the politics of mistrust between Pakistan and India.

Parvez Rana, Hassan Askari, Z.A. Zulfi, Pappu Samrat, Syed Noor, Babar Butt, and literally everyone else I met in the film industry were welcoming and hospitable beyond what I ever could have hoped or imagined. The cast and crew of Sharabi, in particular, went above and beyond to facilitate my research and make sure I was at all times comfortable and safe and had answers to whatever stupid questions I was asking that day! Along with their kindness, I was privileged to witness their industry, creativity, and perseverance, and I will be eternally inspired by and grateful to them. My committee might seem large at seven members, but all of them have been incredibly helpful and supportive throughout my time in graduate school, and each of them have helped develop different dimensions of this work.

  • “Script Writing” MCD502 Competition Is Improving the Quality of Dramas
    “Script Writing” MCD502 Competition is improving the Quality of Dramas With the onset of the new millennium came a relaxation in the PEMRA laws, as well as a more ‘enlightened’ government. All these new changes resulted in a lot of channels and a variety of Pakistani dramas for the viewers. Over the years, viewers had to ignore many shows because unfortunately a lot of Pakistani directors had taken to producing overly glamorous and unrealistic dramas. Recently however the tables have turned and now most viewers have to choose between two or more most-watch drama serials, which air at the same time on competing channels. Every Saturday for instance, I keep switching between GEO and HUM TV to find out the story of both ‘Meri Zaat Zare Benishan’ and ‘Vasl’. Both dramas have an extremely realistic storyline and a very moving performance by the casts. With such strong competition directors are making a lot of effort to come up with new stories and good casts for a good production. Instead of making glamorous sets and spending a lot of budget on appearances, most directors are producing dramas closer to home and trying to depict details, dialogues and circumstances that the viewers can relate to. Interestingly the two earlier mentioned dramas “Meri Zaat Zara Benishan’ and ‘Vasl’ both show a mix of lifestyles. In ‘Meri Zaat’ the drama shows the mindset of a conservative family, and then shows the resulting poor lifestyle of the heroine Saba. At the same time we observe the hero Arfeens’, who works in France, lifestyle. In Vasl the drama also shifts between New York and Karachi, showing an average middle class families outlook.

  • A Semiotic Analysis
    Pakistan Journal of Gender Studies 81 Vol. 14, pp. 81-110, ISSN: 2072-0394 Construction Of Female Identity In Pakistani Television Commercials (November, 2015-April, 2016): A Semiotic Analysis Moneeba Iftikhar & Mehwish Islam Department of Mass Communication Lahore College for Women University Abstract This study explores how TV commercials in Pakistan construct female identity in the present era. Advertising becomes an essential part in moulding and shaping our behaviour, attitude, values towards lifestyle and advertisers use visual, semiotic and printed text aims to convey their specific messages. This work attempts to analyze how the belief system of "flawless" and "perfect" society is created and constructed in and through advertisements. This study employed semiotic analysis as a research method to examine Pakistani TVCs. With stratified sampling technique, ten TVCs selected that appeared during intervals breaks of famous TV serials ,obtained from main three private Pakistani channels, on a week after week premise for a time of six months. TVCs were analyzed with reference to the representation of Pakistani women in selected time period. As sign frameworks are included in the construction of meaning and advertising utilizes these signs to transmit its message. The ideologically developed messages, TVCs not only depict the image of women but have additionally made that image into the affirmed part of the female identity in the society.

  • Sir Syed Journal of Education & Social Research Recontextualization of Ideologies: a Critical Study of Tabooed Representati
    Sir Syed Journal of Education & Social Research Vol. 4, Issue 1, 2021 (January – March) ISSN 2706-6525 (online), ISSN 2706-8285 (Print) SJESR ISSN 2706-9362 (CD-ROM), ISSN 2706-6525 (ISSN-L) Sir Syed Journal of Education & DOI: https://doi.org/10.36902/sjesr-vol4-iss1-2021(89-97) Social Research __________________________________________________________________________________ Recontextualization of Ideologies: A Critical Study of Tabooed Representation in Pakistani TV Dramas * Dr. Shaista Zeb ** Dr. Ubaidullah Khan *** Muhammad Ajmal (Corresponding Author) __________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Taboo is a religiously and socially prohibited practice. In a society, known for its conservative approach and attitude, several subjects have long not been discussed in a public discourse. This study explores how the media revolution of the 21st century is changing this situation by compromising and recontextualizing these taboos, as depicted through a text or talk. In recent years, the country's private TV industry has depicted some highly unpleasant topics in its dramas. The critical perspective of Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe (1985) probes deeply into the discourse of TV dramas to uncover the hidden ideologies behind the words in broader social and cultural contexts. To show this change, this study analyzes six Pakistani dramas dealing with hitherto tabooed topics to reveal the pros and cons of the growing ideological trends in Pakistani TV Dramas. First, the study outlines the significance of drama in shaping and recontextualizing ideologies. Second, it outlines certain salient taboo features applicable to almost every play. Finally, it suggests a few improvements in a bid to make things better. Keywords: Recontextualizations of Ideologies, Taboos, Pakistani TV Dramas, Critical Study.
