Paul Jayakar Assistant Professor Research Department of English Additional Dean, Policies & Administration The American College EDITORIAL The American College Journal of English Language and Literature (ACJELL), a peer- reviewed international journal, is the brainchild of the then Heads of the Department of English Dr. S. Stanley Mohan Doss Stephen and Dr. G. Dominic Savio and the first issue was released in 2012 by the then Vice Chancellor of Madurai Kamaraj University Dr. Kalyani Mathivanan. She emphasized a pertinent point in her address that “a journal is sustained by the citation it receives.” The second, third, fourth, and fifth volumes were published in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 respectively. We hosted a one day international conference in July 2017 and we published a record number of 611 research articles in 20 volumes of Bodhi as a joint venture and collaboration. Hence, we could not bring out the sixth volume in 2017 as planned. However, we assure you that ACJELL 2018 will be released before the end of year 2018 with more student and research scholars’ articles on emerging literatures around the world which is the theme of a one day national seminar being organised in October to commemorate the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of the introduction of undergraduate programme in English in the American College. Keeping in mind the twin aims of the founding fathers of the ACJELL, the reviewers have selected articles from both literatures and language for the current issue. The twin aims are to inculcate research and publication culture in MPhil and PhD scholars and to provide platform for college and university teachers of English language and literature in the southern region of the state to publish their articles for the purpose of continuous professional development and career advancement. What is special in the current volume is that postgraduate students have contributed some articles on both language and literature. Research and publication culture continues to be elusive to Indian literary academia. Not many opportunities are available for Indian college teachers of English to bring their research findings to the international attention. It is heartening to note that the present day research scholars show enthusiasm on presentation and publication of research articles. We are planning to go online so that ACJELL can become an indexed journal thereby its impact factor and h-index value could be quantified. Eventually, it can branch off into special issues on different literatures in English, theories, and ELT related issues as wished by the founding fathers. We are also applying to the UGC for inclusion in the list of its approved journals under the academic journal category. Dr. M. Davamani Christober, Principal & Secretary and Dr. Helen Ratna Monica, Bursar of the College are thankfully remembered for their encouragement ad support to the ACJELL publication every year.

A cultural landscape is defined to be an ecosystem consisting of the most long-term human-modified landscapes. Close interaction between human beings and nature evolves both culture as well as cultural landscapes. It combines cultural and ecological values. Rapid developmental processes like industrialization and urbanization have led to ‘an all-devouring, carbon intensive economy’ that has caused climate change. The apparent challenges of climate crisis are global warming and rising sea level that threaten many major port cities. But, when carefully analyzed, the risks seem to be repercussions of thoughtless alternations of cultural landscapes and seascapes, promoted by a colonial notion that proximity to water is power and security.

  • Pioneering Cultural Initiatives by Esalen Centers for Theory
    Esalen’s Half-Century of Pioneering Cultural Initiatives 1962 to 2012 For more information, please contact: Jane Hartford, Director of Development Center for Theory & Research and Special Projects Special Assistant to the Cofounder and Chairman Emeritus Michael Murphy Esalen Institute 1001 Bridgeway #247 Sausalito, CA 94965 415-459-5438 i Preface Most of us know Esalen mainly through public workshops advertised in the catalog. But there is another, usually quieter, Esalen that’s by invitation only: the hundreds of private initiatives sponsored now by Esalen’s Center for Theory and Research (CTR). Though not well publicized, this other Esalen has had a major impact on America and the world at large. From its programs in citizen diplomacy to its pioneering role in holistic health; from physics and philosophy to psychology, education and religion, Esalen has exercised a significant influence on our culture and society. CTR sponsors work in fields that think tanks and universities typically ignore, either because those fields are too controversial, too new, or because they fall between disciplinary silos. These initiatives have included diplomats and political leaders, such as Joseph Montville, the influential pioneer of citizen diplomacy, Jack Matlock and Arthur Hartman, former Ambassadors to the Soviet Union, and Claiborne Pell, former Chairman of the U.S. Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee; eminent Russian cultural leaders Vladimir Pozner, Sergei Kapitsa, and Victor Erofeyev; astronaut Rusty Schweickart; philosophers Jay Ogilvy, Sam

  • Turning Point: a Science of Living Systems by Fritjof Capra, Ph.D
    Turning Point: A Science of Living Systems by Fritjof Capra, Ph.D. In the first three decades of the 20th century, atomic and subatomic physics led to a dramatic revision of many basic concepts and ideas about reality, which brought about a profound change in our worldview; from the mechanistic world view of Descartes and Newton to a holistic and ecological view; a view that turns out to be very similar to the views and mystics of all ages and traditions. The new view of reality was by no means easy to accept for physicists at the beginning of the century. Exploration of the atomic and subatomic world brought them in contact with a strange and unexpected reality. In their struggle to grasp this new reality, scientists became painfully aware that their basic concepts, their language, and their whole way of thinking were inadequate to describe atomic phenomena. Their problems were not merely intellectual, but amounted to an intense emotional and, one could say, even existential crisis, but in the end they were rewarded with deep insights into the nature of matter and its relation to the human mind. I have come to believe that today our society as a whole finds itself in a similar crisis. We can read about its numerous manifestations every day in the news. We have high inflation and unemployment, we have an energy crisis, we have a crisis in health care, pollution and other environmental disasters, a rising wave of violence, etc.. I believe these are all different facets of one and the same crisis – a crisis of perception.

  • THE NOMADIC WANDERINGS of a BAG-LADY and HER SPACE CHUMS: RE-STORYING ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION with FERAL FIGURATIONS by Chessa
    THE NOMADIC WANDERINGS OF A BAG-LADY AND HER SPACE CHUMS: RE-STORYING ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION WITH FERAL FIGURATIONS by Chessa Adsit-Morris B.A., Interdisciplinary Art, University of Washington Seattle, WA, 2006. A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Curriculum Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2015 © Chessa Adsit-Morris, 2015 Abstract This thesis is a semi-autobiographical narrative, a serious fiction, in which I hold together the contradictions I have inherited and gathered (specifically in relation to the Western educational system) and learn to encounter the “Other” (real and imaginary others), including the other that is my constantly shifting/growing “self,” and attempt to find/foster nourishing alliances for transforming Environmental Education. I situated myself with new materialist theorists, specifically Donna Haraway, Rosi Braidotti, and Karen Barad, who attempt to think “through the co-constitutive materiality of human corporeality and nonhuman natures” (Alaimo & Hekman, 2008, p. 9) and provide useful tools (figurations, metaphors, and/or stories) for finding creative theoretical alternatives to the reductionist, representationalist and dualistic practices of the Western (Euro-American) metaphysics. Instead, shifting towards ecological, rhizomatic thinking and a nomadic subjectivity, I take up bag-lady storytelling, a performative new materialist methodology, a creative (re)twist of Ursula

  • POSTMODERN TRAITS in the NOVELS of AMITAV GHOSH Prof
    www.the-criterion.com The Criterion: An International Journal in English ISSN 0976-8165 POSTMODERN TRAITS IN THE NOVELS OF AMITAV GHOSH Prof. R. Chenniappan R. Saravana Suresh Research scholar Research scholar Paavai Engineering college Paavai Engineering college Pachal, Namakkal. Pachal, Namakkal. Indian writing in English has stamped its greatness by mixing up tradition and modernity in the production of art. At the outset, the oral transmission of Indian literary works gained ground gradually. It created an indelible mark in the mind and heart of the lovers of art. The interest in literature lit the burning thirst of the writers which turned their energy and technique to innovate new form and style of writing. Earlier novels projected India’s heritage, tradition, cultural past and moral values. But a remarkable change can be noticed in the novels published after the First World War, which is called, modernism. The novels written in the late 20th century, especially after the Second World War, are considered postmodern novels. Salman Rushdie, Vikaram Seth, Shashi Tharoor, Upamanyu Chatterjee and Amitav Ghosh are the makers of new pattern in writing novels with post-modern thoughts and emotions. Amitav Ghosh is one among the postmodernists. He is immensely influenced by the political and cultural milieu of post independent India. Being a social anthropologist and having the opportunity of visiting alien lands, he comments on the present scenario the world is passing through in his novels. Cultural fragmentation, colonial and neo-colonial power structures, cultural degeneration, the materialistic offshoots of modern civilization, dying of human relationships,blending of facts and fantasy, search for love and security, diasporas, etc… are the major preoccupations in the writings of Amitav Ghosh.

    ISSN 2395-4396 (Online) National Seminar on ‘Women at Crossroads: Multi- disciplinary Perspectives’ Publication Partner: IJARIIE ORGANISE BY: DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH PSGR KRISHNAMMAL COLLEGE FOR WOMEN, PEELAMEDU, COIMBATORE Volume-2, Issue-6, 2017 Vol-2 Issue-6 2017 IJARIIE-ISSN (O)-2395-4396 A Comparative Study of the Role of Women in New Generation Malayalam Films and Serials Jibin Francis Research Scholar Department of English PSG College of Arts and Science, Coimbatore Abstract This 21st century is called the era of technology, which witnesses revolutionary developments in every aspect of life. The life style of the 21st century people is very different; their attitude and culture have changed .This change of viewpoint is visible in every field of life including Film and television. Nowadays there are several realty shows capturing the attention of the people. The electronic media influence the mind of people. Different television programs target different categories of people .For example the cartoon programs target kids; the realty shows target youth. The points of view of the directors and audience are changing in the modern era. In earlier time, women had only a decorative role in the films. Their representation was merely for satisfying the needs of men. The roles of women were always under the norms and rules of the patriarchal society. They were most often presented on the screen as sexual objects .Here women were abused twice, first by the male character in the film and second, by the spectators. But now the scenario is different. The viewpoint of the directors as well as the audience has drastically changed .In this era the directors are courageous enough to make films with women as central characters.

  • Les Défis D'un Monde Globalisé Complexics As a Meta
    CONGRÈS MONDIAL POUR LA PENSÉE COMPLEXE Les défis d’un monde globalisé Paris, 8-9 décembre, 2016 Complexics as a Meta-Transdisciplinary Field Albert Bastardas-Boada * Knowledge of knowledge (epistemology of complexity) Abstract ‘Complexics’ as a meta-transdisciplinary field would bring together all contemporary efforts devoted to constructing tools, procedures, models and concepts intended for understanding and explaining the most interwoven and dynamic phenomena of reality. Our aim needs to be, as Morin says, not “to reduce complexity to simplicity, [but] to translate complexity into theory”. New mathematical and computational contributions have already continued to grow in number, thanks primarily to scholars in statistical physics and computer science. However, human complexics must be seen as multi- methodological, combining quantitative-computation methodologies and more qualitative methodologies aimed at understanding the mental and emotional world of people. Key words meta-transdisciplinarity; modelisation; qualitative methodologies. * Full Professor, Universitat de Barcelona.
