I argue that Schreiner modified Decadent writers’ use of intersensoriality and synaesthesia to educate her readers into a new kind of common sense, one aligned with her…[Read more]

In the fall of 2019 I taught my eighteenth-century novel course as an exercise in slow reading, taking a tactic I had used before: putting a canonical work of fiction into the context of the other voices in the literary marketplace, and the circumstances of its making. For such a course, Tristram Shandy is an ideal central text. It was published…[Read more]

शेती हा भारतीय अर्थव्यवस्थेचा कणा समजला जातो. सिंधु घाटी संस्कृतीपासून भारतीय कृषीचे अस्तित्व गणले जाते. स्वातंत्र्यपूर्व काळात व्यापार रोजगार व जीवन जगण्याचे एक साधन म्हणून शेतीला असणारे महत्त्व आज देखील कायम आहे. कधीकाळी पारंपारिक पद्धतीने केली जाणारी शेती, आज आधुनिकतेकडे वळण घेते आहे. भारतीय दृष्टिकोनातून या आधुनिकतेचा विचार केला तर असे दिस…[Read more]

To encourage classroom dialectic I often turn to the “quitting” structure of “The Canterbury Tales,” within which pilgrims offer requitals of previous tales that range from exuberant acclamations to

आपल्या देशाने 27 जानेवारी 1950 रोजी लोकशाहीचा स्वीकार केला. बहुमताने लोकप्रतिनिधींना निवडून त्यांनी गठीत केलेली शासनप्रणाली हीच राजकीय लोकशाही होय. राजकीय लोकशाहीचा पाया जर सामाजिक लोकशाहीचा नसेल तर ती टिकूच शकणार नाही. गौतम बुद्धाचे तत्त्वज्ञान स्वातंत्र्य, समता, बंधुत्व व न्याय ही मूल्ये प्रदान करतात. या शिवाय संपूर्ण मानवाच्या विक…[Read more]
