The main aim of this conference is to bring together local and international academics, educators, planners, teachers and professionals to exchange views, insights and opinions on past and current practices in the areas of language, literature and culture. Instead of being confined to the four walls of the university, this conference acts as a forum that brings exposure to the undergraduate, post-graduate students, Research Scholars and Faculties. The participants are able to present their research papers in a world class forum and gain invaluable experiences. Let us engage in discussions of the common trends in our fields of research and find common ground on which we can stand on to appreciate and integrate each other’s findings into our own. It is only through research and practice that we could contribute to the nation and the world at large with the advances and innovations in the field of social sciences and humanities to ensure a balanced growth in the society. Sustaining progress in research for the advancement of the society is a very challenging task. It takes continuous effort and sacrifice to provide new insights on issues pertaining literature, language and culture that would benefit the students and the nation. I would like to congratulate and thank for organising this international conference in Coimbatore. In fact, Bodhi Journal and the English Division from School of Science and Humanities, Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences has brought the international world to the door step of this Institute. This conference also acts as platform to begin networking among scholars and researchers from all nooks and corners of India as well as from around the world and to generate sequels of collaborative research and publications which is the primary goal of this conference. By attending this conference, the postgraduate students get an opportunity to publish in an international journal which at the same time fulfills the requirement of the senate for them to graduate. This conference acts as a stepping stone for new researchers and post graduate students to further embark into more international conferences. This conference also provides an access in producing a more contributing and productive future generation which will aid the nation of India to prosper in the international arena ensuring that the nation will be on the same platform with other prosperous countries. I also thank everyone who has contributed for the success of this conference directly or indirectly and pray that the teamwork will continue and grow in the years to come. Thank you. “Knowledge brightens the path of the Seeker”. EDITORIAL We use language as a means of expression, communication and interaction.

    Striking Balance Between Tradition and Passion in Amulya Malladi's

    The International journal of analytical and experimental modal analysis ISSN NO: 0886-9367 Striking Balance between Tradition and Passion in Amulya Malladi’s The Mango Season. A. Sophia Mary, Ph.d, Research Scholar, Department of English, Sri Sarada College for Women (Autonomous), Salem– 16. E-mail ID: [email protected] Abstract Amulya Malladi is a diasporic Indian writer in English and she is very famous for her seven novels namely A Breath of Fresh Air (2002), The Mango Season (2003), Serving Crazy with Curry (2004), Song of the Cuckoo Bird (2005), The Sound of Language (2007), A House for Happy Mothers (2016) and The Copenhagen Affair (2017). She received her bachelor degree in Electronics Engineering from Osmania University, Hyderabad India and master degree in Journalism from the University of Memphis, Tennessee, United States. Her novels have been translated into many languages like Dutch, German, Spanish, Danish, Romanian, Serbian and Tamil. Literature is an artistic creation especially in a written form with high and lasting merits. Although there are various literatures globally, the Indian writing in English has its unique taste among the readers. It is an amalgam of multilingual, multicultural and socio-historical themes. They are the exquisite creations of the Indian writers in English language. It also includes the works of the Indian diasporic writers. Malladi’s novels mainly focus on misunderstanding between two generations, changing status of women, family tension, conflict between modernity and traditional values, elusive nature of mind, etc. The Mango season is a dramatic portrayal of a modern young woman Priya, who must ultimately decide between the dogmatic tradition and heartfelt emotions.

Yvon Wang University of Toronto [email protected] Abstract This article is an exploration of media and gender in urban and peri-urban China dur- ing the 1950s and early 1960s – specifically, the persistent trope of the “hooligan,” or liumang. Since at least the late imperial period, Chinese authorities had feared unmar- ried, impoverished, rootless men as the main source of crime, disorder, and outright rebellion. Yet such figures were simultaneously celebrated as knights-errant for their violent heroism in cultural works of enormous popularity across regions and classes. As the ruling Chinese Communist Party attempted to reshape society and culture after 1949, it condemned knight-errant tales and made hooliganism a crime. At the same time, the state tried to promote a new pantheon of vigilante-like men in the guise of revolutionary heroes. But the state’s control over deeply rooted cultural markets and their products was incomplete. Moreover, the same potent tools that had empowered the Party, in particular its rhetoric of revolutionary subjectivity and its harnessing of modern media technologies, were open as never before to being adopted by the very targets of its efforts at control and censure.

Historical Documentaries in Sweden in the Era of Häger and Villius. Written in English. Acta Universitatis Upsalien- sis. Studia Historica Upsaliensia 210. (411 pages). Uppsala 2003. ISSN 0081-6531. ISBN 91-554-5782-7. This dissertation investigates how history is used in historical documentary films, and ar- gues that the maker of such films constantly negotiates between cognitive, moral, and aes- thetic demands. In support of this contention a number of historical documentaries by Swedish historian-filmmakers Olle Häger and Hans Villius are discussed. Other historical documentaries supply additional examples. The analyses take into account both the produc- tion process and the representations themselves. The history culture and the social field of history production together form the conceptual framework for the study, and one of the aims is to analyse the role of professional historians in public life. The analyses show that different considerations compete and work together in the case of all documentaries, and figure at all stages of pre-production, production, and post-produc- tion. But different considerations have particular inuence at different stages in the produc- tion process and thus they are more or less important depending on where in the process the producer puts his emphasis on them.

    Reimagining Riben Guizi: Japanese Tactical Media Performance After the 2010 Senkaku/Diaoyu Boat Collision Incident

    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 344–362 1932–8036/20170005 Reimagining Riben Guizi: Japanese Tactical Media Performance After the 2010 Senkaku/Diaoyu Boat Collision Incident YASUHITO ABE1 Doshisha University, Japan This article investigates a Japanese online participatory community, the Hinomoto Oniko project, that emerged after the Senkaku/Diaoyu boat collision incident of 2010 in the East China Sea. Drawing on tactical media as a conceptual framework, this study analyzes how the project challenged the prevailing meaning of a Chinese slur against the Japanese via tactical use of visual media and examines how its cultural and aesthetic performances were reproduced in the Japanese media landscape. This facilitates analysis of the implications of its cultural and aesthetic performances in a networked era. Keywords: tactical media, moe, history, Japan, China This study examines a Japanese online participatory community that emerged in Japan after the Senkaku/Diaoyu boat collision incident of 2010 in the East China Sea: the Hinomoto Oniko project. The project remade a Chinese term into various images of that term though visual media; specifically, the Hinomoto Oniko project transformed the pronunciation of the Chinese term into a Japanese reading and substituted cartoon-like characters for the term. In doing so, the project sought to create an alternative space for communication between Japanese and Chinese people, albeit briefly. The project did not necessarily succeed in making the most of an opportunity for promoting communication between Japanese and Chinese people, but the project highlights the characteristic of tactical media performance in East Asia. The Chinese term temporarily disrupted by the Hinomoto Oniko project is 日本鬼子 (Riben Guizi), which originally meant “Japanese are devils” in Chinese.

    The Missionary As Devil: Anti-Missionary Demonology in China, 1860–1930

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Loughborough University Institutional Repository Chapter 6 Thoralf Klein Anti-missionary Demonology in China 1 The Missionary as Devil: Anti-Missionary Demonology in China, 1860–1930 Thoralf Klein As a foreign student in China in the early 1990s, I once visited the historical site of Zazhidong camp in Chongqing together with a German friend. This is a place where the Chinese Nationalists, with the help of American advisers provided by the Sino-American Cooperation Organization (SACO), interned and tortured Communists and their sympathizers in the 1940s.1 It was a cold, grey, January day, and visitors were few. Apart from ourselves, I only recall a middle-aged Chinese couple walking in our direction. As they were passing us, I overheard the man say something to his wife. He was not speaking loudly, yet, perhaps because he mistook us for Americans and counted on our not understanding Chinese, what he said was clearly audible. It was just the two words yang guizi 洋鬼子 – ‘foreign devils’.2 This expression will be the focus of my subsequent examination of how European and North American missionaries in China became the object of processes of Othering. I am not suggesting in this article that the Chinese discourse on Europe can be reduced to the demonology implied in the term (yang) guizi; there existed other terms to denote missionaries and other foreigners, some of which – as we shall see – were more neutral. However, I think that the demonizing discourse on missionaries is important for two reasons: firstly, it was the strongest way in which the Christian presence in China, which was connected with imperialism from the mid-nineteenth century well into the twentieth, was construed as an alien and harmful force; secondly, over the same period, this discourse developed in a way that reflected the profound cultural change taking place in China at the time.
