Sociological and Therapeutic Significance of Poetic Performance in Yoruba Contemporary Society

2021-03-22T13:15:45+00:00

Poetry, as an oral literary genre, is an age-long tradition, the performance of which serves as a traditional medium of communication exchange. Its modality, aesthetics, entertainment and performance-styles are titillating narratives that give its audience nostalgic feelings of the socio-cultural past and contemporary socio-political realities. However, more scholarly attentions have not been adequately given to oral literary poetry in the area of its therapeutic significance and social criticism. This paper, therefore, discussed its therapeutic significance and social criticism of oral literary poetry by examining the Yorùbá contemporary oral literary poetry and other devices deployed by the poet with a view to determining the role of an oral artist as a social critic and therapist. Schechner’s Performance, Freudian and Jungian psychoanalytic theories were used to analyse poetic orature of the selected oral performer, Ola?n?rewajuAde?p?oj?u. Three digital audio discs of live performance recordings of Ola?n?rewaju Ade?p?oj?u that were purposively selected were: Ewi´ Special and Mo F?sùn Kan O. The selected live recordings were based on the informing sociological realities, choice of satiric mode and performative styles. They were critically subjected to performance and literary analyses after being translated from Yorùbá to English.

A Study on Policy Implication and Gender in Households - Gaps and Promises in Primary Education of Rural West Bengal

2021-03-31T08:54:59+00:00

A society is a form of living in which humans do reside with several facts and points. Those are making the societies much perfect in its establishment. The facets of the presences make a society much furnished and completed with its different parts and parcels. Some of them are very much positive and some of them are negatives as well. In this way the societies are composed with some of the phenomenon which can be called as evils or the darks. In this way those are making the social connections weak and feeble towards going to the development. In this junction it has to be emphasized upon the conditions with which the society can heal itself. It is said that education is the panacea of all social evils. Henceforth it is very important to note that the education can have that much potentiality which can be expected to see if the society is improving. In this dimension gender may become a vital point to check with. The gender division is quite historical and it is continuing to keep its reflection in the sphere of education in today’s scenario. In West Bengal the literacy rate for the males is 81.69 per cent when the same for the females is 70.54 per cent. It is a clear indication that for the rural development paradigm in the line of approach in West Bengal is not at all doing any good. The rural people are not still able to help their children to achieve the best effect of going to schools. It may be a positivistic aspect of the education to see how the students are becoming differentiated just based upon their gender identity. The 86^th Constitutional amendment in 2002 has assured the universalization of education irrespective of gender for the age group which is 6 to 14. Yet the perfect result has not come as accords to the different previously done works. Gender is becoming such an incident which cannot be ever changed from the perception of the society. People still believe that women should get less chance to learn than men because they have to in home for the household jobs. In this way the overall developments of the villages have gone hampered and the people are becoming ignorant enough to help both the genders equally. Even in the schools the genders are not equally understood and a deep biasness can be possible to see. This study has considered data from Purulia, Bankura and Birbhum districts where the rural students are purposively present in regards to this specific study. This study has tried to understand how the passage for universalizing of education is working with them. The students should get equal benefit of the different policies like the Operation Blackboard but unfortunately the situation is different and the female students are still not accessing the complete privilege of the primary education. Now is the time to check their lives and suggest some exit points from their grass root level living for making the optimum use of the governmental educational efforts to improve in an holistic type.

Inequality in Religions: Discrimination against Women in Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism, and Some Salutary Remedies

2021-04-17T06:39:21+00:00

Discrimination [which of course exists in the following forms: racial discrimination, gender discrimination, residential segregation, victimization, discrimination arising from disability, etc.] is one thing that clearly characterizes human society. During the slave era, in the feudal as well as in this present capitalist society, some sorts of discrimination exist. The works of the famous German philosopher-Karl Marx (1818-83), particularly the Das Kapital (Capital) published between 1867 and 1894, exposed discrimination, or rather inequality (class inequality precisely) in human society. In school, in politics, in hospital, in the market and in workplaces people also, consciously and unconsciously, discriminate against each other. But one may ask: is there a form of discrimination within the gamut of religion, within religious institutions, like churches, mosques and temples? Or, does discrimination, gender discrimination precisely, exist in religions? Do women enjoy same religious privileges as their male counterparts? Do they receive any unfair treatments? Are women “second class citizens” in different religious institutions and bodies? To attempt to answer these questions, secondary data would be used, in exposing areas where women particularly suffer discrimination in the religions of Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism. The utmost aim of exposing “religious discrimination” against women is mainly for corrective purpose, as this study provides some feasible remedies to the issue.
