ANTALYA KARATAY MEDRESESİ TAÇKAPISI RESTİTÜSYON ÖNERİSİ
Authors: BULUT Mustafa
Published: January 2023

Anadolu Selçuklu yapılarının günümüze kadar olan süreçte çok sayıda tahribata uğradığı ve restore edildiği söylenebilir. Bu yapılarda süslemelerin yoğunlaştığı bölümler olan taçkapılar da bu tahribatlardan büyük ölçüde etkilenmiştir. Taçkapıların, özellikle kavsara kemeri üzerindeki bölümlerinin yıkıldığı ve zeminden itibaren ilk birkaç metre yükseklikteki bölümlerin de oldukça tahrip olduğu görülmektedir. Alt bölümlerde kaideler, süsleme başlangıç noktaları, bezeme kuşaklarının veya silmelerin nihayetlenmesi bazı bilinmezlikleri beraberinde getirmektedir. Yıkılan ve günümüzde bazı taçkapılarda tamamlanmış olan kavsara kemeri üzerindeki bölümler de aynı şekilde; bazı süslemelerde bordürlerin üst bölümde ne şekilde işlendiği, birleşimlerin nasıl gerçekleştiği ve taçkapı yan kanatlarıyla üst bölümün benzerliğinin ne ölçüde olduğu bilinmemektedir.

Özellikle bazı onikigen ve altıgen açılara sahip kompozisyonlarla beşgen-ongen kompozisyonların taçkapı üst bölümünde, yan kanatlarda kullanıldığı şekliyle verilmediği, bordür ölçülerinin veya kompozisyon sınırlarının değiştiği görülmektedir. Taçkapı kanatlarındaki tek eksenli kompozisyonların üst bölümle ve taçkapı ekseninde birleşmesi ise bazı durumlarda farklı çözümlemelere gidilmesini gerektirmiştir. Tüm bu farklılıkları belirleyen kompozisyonun açısal özellikleri ve ölçeğidir.

Taçkapılarda kullanılan kompozisyonların açısal özelliklerinin ve eksen özelliklerinin belirlenmesiyle bahse konu olan sorunlara dair seçeneklerin azaltıldığı çözüm önerileri sunulabilmektedir. Kompozisyon özellikleri ve diğer yapılarda karşılaşılan benzer süslemelerin kullanım şekillerinden hareketle kapının restitüsyon denemesi hazırlanmıştır. Buna göre; taçkapının ana bordüründeki kompozisyonun üst bölümde bordür sınırlarından kesildiği, kaide bölümünde de birinci bordür üzerindeki kompozisyonun devam ettiği anlaşılmıştır. Bu analizlerin yapılmasında kullanılan araştırma yöntemlerinden birisi de Total Station kullanılarak yerinde ölçüleri alınan taçkapının bilgisayar destekli programla çizilmesiyle oluşmuştur. Sahadan ve kaynaklardan elde edilen verilerin karşılaştırılması sonucunda Antalya Karatay Medresesi taçkapısının özgün hallerine yönelik veriler ve yapılacak restorasyonlarını destekleyecek nitelikli çizimler literatüre kazandırılmıştır.
YENİDEN AMAÇLANDIRMA BAĞLAMINDA II.DÜNYA SAVAŞI DÖNEMİNDE GİYSİ VE AKSESUAR ÜRETİMİ ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME
Authors: GÜNBULUT Ahsen
Published: January 2023

Bu araştırmanın temel tartışmasını II. Dünya savaşının getirdiği yokluğun, moda endüstrisi çerçevesinde tasarım ve üretim biçimleri üzerindeki geniş çaplı etkisi oluşturmaktadır. II. Dünya Savaşı dönemi giysi tasarımı ve üretimi ile ilgili bilgilerle sınırlandırılan araştırmada kavramsal çerçeve için konu ile ilgili literatür taraması yapılarak çalışmada tanımlar ve açıklamalar yapılmıştır. Ayrıca konu ile ilgili bilgiler, başta Amerika ve İngiltere’de olmak üzere “II. Dünya Savaşı Müzeleri”nde yer alan farklı malzemelerin yeniden amaçlandırılmasıyla oluşan giysi örnekleri üzerinden sunulmuştur. Araştırmanın sonucunda yeniden amaçlandırma yönteminin uygulandığı dönemlerin daha çok ülkelerin sosyo-ekonomik sıkıntıların olduğu süreçlerde ortaya çıktığı görülmektedir. II. Dünya savaşı dönemi giysi ve aksesuar üretimlerine bakıldığında yeniden amaçlandırmanın iki yöntem üzerinden ilerlediği gözlemlenmiştir. Yeniden amaçlandırmada ilk yöntem olarak savaş döneminde kullanıcılar ellerinde var olan farklı malzemeleri yaratıcı biçimlerde giysi ve aksesuara dönüştürmüşlerdir. Diğer yöntemde ise üreticiler ve tasarımcılar, savaş ortamında ortaya çıkan sorunlara çözüm olarak var olan nesneleri bir nevi bağlamından kopararak formlarını ve kullanım işlevlerini savaşa yönelik yeniden amaçlandırmışlardır.

Günümüzde de sürdürülebilirlik bağlamında giysi üretimi üzerinde etkisini devam ettiren yeniden amaçlandırma yöntemi, atıl duruma gelen giysilerin değer kazandırılarak yeniden kullanıma girmesini sağlamakta böylece büyük ölçüde depolama alanı ihtiyacını azaltmaktadır. Yeniden amaçlandırmanın bir yaşam biçimi haline gelebilmesi için tasarımcıların ve kullanıcıların giysilerin yaşam sürelerini uzatılabilmesi, sürenin sonunda yeni bir amaç için dönüştürülebilmesi konusunda bilinçlendirilmelidir. Bu nedenle yeniden amaçlandırma yöntemi üzerine yapılacak çalışmaların, bilimsel ve akademik alanda araştırmacı, tasarımcı ve tasarım öğrencileri için ilham kaynağı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Objective: Methadone is used to prevent opioid iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome (IWS) in children, but the optimal dose and overlap time with an opioid infusion have not been elucidated. The purpose was to compare clinical manifestations among patients who developed opioid IWS within 24 hours (early) versus ≥24 hours (late) of fentanyl discontinuation when enteral methadone was initiated. Design: A retrospective, descriptive study.Setting: Pediatric and cardiovascular intensive care units at a tertiary care health system.Participants: Sixty-seven children received fentanyl infusions for ≥3 days and initiated on methadone prior to fentanyl discontinuation.Main outcome measures: The primary objective was to compare clinical characteristics between those with early versus late opioid IWS. Opioid IWS was defined as a Withdrawal Assessment Tool-1 score ≥3 within 5 days of fentanyl discontinuation. Secondary objectives included a comparison of time to IWS, clinical characteristics, and risk factors among patients with and without IWS.Results: Fifty children (74.6 percent) developed opioid IWS within a median time of 3.5 hours. No differences were noted for those with and without IWS. Thirty-seven patients (74.0 percent) with IWS developed early IWS. A higher percentage of males in the late versus early group developed IWS, 100 percent versus 51.4 percent, p = 0.002. The median overlap time with methadone and fentanyl was shorter in the early versus late IWS group without reaching statistical significance, 27.5 versus 64.0 hours, p = 0.127.Conclusions: The majority developed opioid IWS, with most developing early IWS, despite methadone initiation. Future studies should evaluate the optimal methadone dosing and overlap time to prevent opioid IWS.

The Korean market and business groups: three essays on the pricing, valuation and policies of Korean listed firms
Authors:   , Ducret Romain
Published: January 2023

This dissertation presents three essays on the Korean market and business groups. In Korea, large business groups called chaebols played and continue to play a prominent role in the economy. While the existing literature is primarily focused on the period of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, this dissertation analyzes the subsequent period. The beginning of the twenty-first century saw the rise of Korea as a global player and the emergence of Korean firms as leaders in several key industries. This dissertation explores research opportunities opened up by this recent evolution in three empirical studies. The first essay documents the “Korea discount”, which refers to the undervaluation of the Korean stock market. Despite practitioner interest, scholars did not address this topic. This article fills this literature gap and provides the first empirical evidence of this phenomenon. The Korea discount persists despite reforms aiming at reaching international standards. The study shows that the phenomenon affects both chaebol and non-chaebol firms. This observation suggests that chaebols are not the direct cause of the Korea discount contradicting a common belief. The second study exploits the revenue shock triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic to examining the value of business group affiliation during an economic downturn. The analysis reveals a switch in the value of affiliation as the crisis unfolded. The discount observed at the beginning of the crisis turned into a premium when the stock market started its recovery. Financial and governance risks appear as important drivers of variations in the value of affiliation. In addition to extend the growing COVID-19 literature, this study complements the literature on chaebol and crisis with a new empirical framework. The third essay examines the effect of affiliation on firm performance and firm policies. Overall, affiliation with a chaebol is associated with a higher firm value and a lower firm profitability. The results show that the intensity of the performance effect of affiliation depends on group characteristics such as size, diversification, and leverage. The analysis of corporate policies confirms the high level of control centralization of chaebols. Indeed, the results show that a number of chaebols conduct group-level strategies and apply homogeneous policies to their affiliates. This study contributes to the chaebol literature by documenting the association between affiliation and firm outcomes. The analysis makes also empirical and methodological contributions for business group literature by highlighting the relevance to account the heterogeneity between business groups in analysis of the affiliation effect.
Behold the Land
Authors: Smethurst James
Published: January 2023

In the mid-1960s, African American artists and intellectuals formed the Black Arts movement in tandem with the Black Power movement, with creative luminaries like Amiri Baraka, Gwendolyn Brooks, Toni Cade Bambara, and Gil Scott-Heron among their number. In this follow-up to his award-winning history of the movement nationally, James Smethurst investigates the origins, development, maturation, and decline of the vital but under-studied Black Arts movement in the South from the 1960s until the early 1980s. Traveling across the South, he chronicles the movement's radical roots, its ties to interracial civil rights organizations on the Gulf Coast, and how it thrived on college campuses and in southern cities. He traces the movement's growing political power as well as its disruptive use of literature and performance to advance Black civil rights.
Though recognition of its influence has waned, the Black Arts movement's legacy in the South endures through many of its initiatives and constituencies. Ultimately, Smethurst argues that the movement's southern strain was perhaps the most consequential, successfully reaching the grassroots and leaving a tangible, local legacy unmatched anywhere else in the United States.
Meatpacking America
Authors: Nabhan-Warren Kristy
Published: January 2023

Whether valorized as the heartland or derided as flyover country, the Midwest became instantly notorious when COVID-19 infections skyrocketed among workers in meatpacking plants—and Americans feared for their meat supply. But the Midwest is not simply the place where animals are fed corn and then butchered. Native midwesterner Kristy Nabhan-Warren spent years interviewing Iowans who work in the meatpacking industry, both native-born residents and recent migrants from Latin America, Africa, and Asia. In Meatpacking America, she digs deep below the stereotype and reveals the grit and grace of a heartland that is a major global hub of migration and food production—and also, it turns out, of religion. 
Across the flatlands, Protestants, Catholics, and Muslims share space every day as worshippers, employees, and employers. On the bloody floors of meatpacking plants, in bustling places of worship, and in modest family homes, longtime and newly arrived Iowans spoke to Nabhan-Warren about their passion for religious faith and desire to work hard for their families. Their stories expose how faith-based aspirations for mutual understanding blend uneasily with rampant economic exploitation and racial biases. Still, these new and old midwesterners say that a mutual language of faith and morals brings them together more than any of them would have ever expected.
Beyond Slavery's Shadow
Authors: Milteer Jr. Warren Eugene
Published: January 2023

On the eve of the Civil War, most people of color in the United States toiled in bondage. Yet nearly half a million of these individuals, including over 250,000 in the South, were free. In Beyond Slavery's Shadow, Warren Eugene Milteer Jr. draws from a wide array of sources to demonstrate that from the colonial period through the Civil War, the growing influence of white supremacy and proslavery extremism created serious challenges for free persons categorized as "negroes," "mulattoes," "mustees," "Indians," or simply "free people of color" in the South. Segregation, exclusion, disfranchisement, and discriminatory punishment were ingrained in their collective experiences. Nevertheless, in the face of attempts to deny them the most basic privileges and rights, free people of color defended their families and established organizations and businesses.
These people were both privileged and victimized, both celebrated and despised, in a region characterized by social inconsistency. Milteer's analysis of the way wealth, gender, and occupation intersected with ideas promoting white supremacy and discrimination reveals a wide range of social interactions and life outcomes for the South's free people of color and helps to explain societal contradictions that continue to appear in the modern United States.
The Folktale Narrator at the Turn of the 20th – 21st Century: the Case of Antanina Čaplikienė from Subartonys
Authors: Šlekonytė Jūratė
Published: January 2023

In the course of the fieldwork in 2000, researchers from the Institute of Lithuanian Literature and Folklore encountered a villager from Subartonys (Varėna district) Antanina Glaniauskaitė-Čaplikienė (1922–2016). In the course of five subsequent years, they recorded from her 140 folk narratives altogether (including 69 folktales, 9 folk-belief legends, 3 place legends, 6 dream narratives, 40 biographical narratives, and several anecdotes). The major part of the Čaplikienė’s repertoire consisted of folktales that were rather well known in the Lithuanian culture, including a number of narratives typical for the Dzūkija region. The author is curious about the ways that Čaplikienė managed to preserve such a vivid folkloric memory. In order to elucidate this, she uses the branch of the contextual research on storytelling developed by the Hungarian folklorist Linda Dégh – namely, the folktale biology (Märchenbiology). The study focuses on these aspects: 1) in view of the Dzūkija folklore tradition in general and the Čaplikienė’s life in particular that shaped her as a storyteller, the woman’s narrative repertoire is discussed, including the number and genre affiliation of her stories, and their place in the Lithuanian folk narrative tradition; 2) Čaplikienė’s memories regarding the folktale narration in the past are analyzed, including the sources that she had learnt her pieces from, and her mode of communication with the folklorists that recorded her tales. The aim of the article is to highlight the uniqueness of this storyteller at the turn of the 20th – 21st centuries and in the context of the folk narrative tradition of Dzūkija.
Deglacial records of terrigenous organic matter accumulation off the Yukon and Amur rivers based on lignin phenols and long-chain n-alkanes
Authors: Cao Mengli , Hefter Jens , Tiedemann Ralf , Lembke-Jene Lester , Meyer Vera D. , Mollenhauer Gesine
Published: January 2023

Abstract. Arctic warming and sea level change will lead to widespread permafrost thaw
and subsequent mobilization. Sedimentary records of past warming events
during the Last Glacial–interglacial transition can be used to study the
conditions under which permafrost mobilization occurs and which changes in
vegetation on land are associated with such warming. The Amur and Yukon
rivers discharging into the Okhotsk and Bering seas, respectively, drain
catchments that have been, or remain until today, covered by permafrost.
Here we study two marine sediment cores recovered off the mouths of these
rivers. We use lignin phenols as biomarkers, which are excellently suited
for the reconstruction of terrestrial higher plant vegetation, and compare
them with previously published lipid biomarker data. We find that in the Yukon basin, vegetation change and wetland expansion
began already in the early deglaciation (ED; 14.6–19 ka). This timing is different from observed changes in the Okhotsk Sea reflecting input from the Amur basin, where wetland expansion and vegetation change occurred later in the Pre-Boreal (PB). In the two basins, angiosperm contribution and wetland extent all reached maxima during the PB, both decreasing and stabilizing after the PB. The permafrost of the Amur basin began to become remobilized in the PB. Retreat of sea ice coupled with increased sea surface temperatures in the Bering Sea during the ED might have promoted early permafrost mobilization. In modern Arctic river systems, lignin and n-alkanes are transported from land to the ocean via different pathways, i.e., surface runoff vs. erosion of deeper deposits, respectively. However, accumulation rates of lignin phenols and lipids are similar in our records, suggesting that under conditions of rapid sea level rise and shelf flooding, both types of terrestrial biomarkers are delivered by the same transport pathway. This finding suggests that the fate of terrigenous organic matter in the Arctic differs on both temporal and spatial scales.
Assessing the household saving behavior of urban and rural households in Pakistan: Evidence from PSLM/HIES 2018-19
Authors: Aslam Maria , Saleem Sehar , Mukhtar Warda , Firdous Rehana
Published: January 2023

The purpose of this article is to examine household saving behavior in urban and rural areas of Pakistan. The study obtained microdata from the Household Integrated Economic Survey (HIES) 2018-19 and Pakistan Social Living Standards Measurements Survey (PSLM) 2018-19 conducted by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS). A nationally representative sample of 5499 households is selected, 3155 from rural areas and 2344 from urban areas by using systematic sampling. The impact of socioeconomic and demographic characteristics on household saving behavior is investigated by applying a multiple linear regression model through Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) estimation method. A strong relationship between household saving behavior and socioeconomic and demographic characteristics is observed. Income has a positive impact on household savings, but age, dependency ratio, and family size have a negative effect. Furthermore, it is found that as the household income rises, their savings rise as well. Although, people residing in rural areas tend to save more amount contrary to urban households. However, saving rates of household with large families exhibited a decline in saving. Government should introduce new saving schemes in banks and reduce non-development expenditures for productive plans. It will provide motivation for domestic saving and an upsurge in employment opportunities.

Critical Success Factors & Fundability of Indian Startups: Insights from Key-Decision Makers of Indian Startup-Ecosystem
Authors: Kumar Parimal , Farooq Ayesha , T Krishnan Rishikesha
Published: January 2023

Startup Funding has been always risky, as the investors are not confident whether the investee Startups will be successful and their investment will yield the desired returns. This risk can be mitigated by development of a measurement-index representing the fundability of Startups which can aid the investors for making decisions for investment in startups. In this study, an interview questionnaire was disseminated through email/goggleforms to the key decision makers of Indian-Startup-Ecosystem to gain insights into the issues relevant for identifying ‘critical success factors for startups and ‘development of a Startup-fundability-index’, i.e. (a) Reasons for failure of startups, (b) Metrics for Startupsuccess, (c) Need for a uniform and transparent Startup-fundability-index, (d) Metrics on which a mathematical formalism for determining the fundability of a Startup could be based (e) Relationship between chances of Startup’s success and their fundability from the perspective of investors. The dissemination of questionnaire was followed by personal interviews/ e-mail/WhatsApp/telephonic communication. Seven Key-Decision-Makers responded to the interview questionnaire. In this research paper, authors present these responses, which provide insights to the critical factors for success of Indian Startups and also indicate that these factors are positively related with the proposed Startup-fundabilityindex. The responses also provide a way ahead for developing entrepreneurial mind-sets in students at a young age. While the proposed Startup-Fundability-Index can be used by investors for making decisions for funding the startups, the startups are expected to use it for reiterating and pivoting their business models.
Foreign Debt and Economic Development in Nigeria (2015 - 2020)
Authors: Cynthia Oguora Mmesoma
Published: January 2023

This study carried out an empirical analysis of foreign debt and economic development in Nigeria covering the period 2015 – 2020. The study used an ex post facto research design, which is based on examining the independent and dependent variables after events have already occurred and using data that is already available in order to determine the relationship between the variables. In order to gather data for this study, a documentary method based on the examination of documents and materials was used. Documentary methods are the procedures used to classify, examine, and analyze documents, whether they are in the public or private domain. To analyze the data generated from this study, the study relied on qualitative descriptive analysis. The major findings of the study are that there are other intervening variables that affect economic growth in addition to health and poverty indicators, external debt is viewed as being harmful to a nation's ability to advance economically, and given the impact of debt to the living standard of the Nigeria people, health expenditure on economics, it could be deduced that even though health expenditure increases, it could have a negligible impact on economic growth if it is not maximized effectively to produce improved health outcomes. It is therefore the recommendation of the study that government should diversify the nation's export base so as to increase export earnings and promote industrialization in order to reduce import dependency as a high exchange rate will make our goods more attractive in the foreign market and will increase foreign exchange earnings.
Bojový potenciál a bojová sila
Authors:   Akadémia ozbrojených síl generála Milana Rastislava Štefánika, Bystriansky Ivan
Published: January 2023

The terms "fighting power" and "combat power" are directly related to the ability to employ military force. They express the capabilities and possibilities of action capacity of the military force, the scope of which is defined by the mission of the military units. The similarity of the definitions of both terms in the military doctrinal framework creates a condition for confusing the understanding of their different meanings, which causes inefficient use of the offered possibilities of fighting power and combat power and the ability to create their joint synergy to achieve the success. The correct understanding of their differences, but also of their interdependence, could be a key aspect of achieving success in military operations.
On the topological generalized crossed modules
Authors:   Inonu University, Malatya, Turkey, Gürsoy Mustafa Habil
Published: January 2023

In this paper, we define the topological versions of the concepts of crossed module over generalized groups, which is called generalized crossed module, and generalized group-groupoid. We construct the categories of the topological generalized crossed modules and their homomorphisms and of the topological generalized group-groupoid and homomorphisms between them. We also obtain some characterizations related to the concepts of topological generalized crossed module and topological generalized group-groupoid. Finally, at the end of the work, we prove that the category of topological generalized crossed modules is equivalent to that of topological generalized group-groupoids whose object sets are commutative topological generalized groups.

A Simple Device to Determine Ante-Version During Femoral Prosthesis Insertion in Total Hip Replacement
Authors: Godghate Ninad , Godghate Neha , Drew Tim , Saindane Krishnamohan
Published: January 2023

Introduction: Good outcomes in Total Hip Replacement (THR) depend upon correct component alignment. This is influenced by the surgeon’s capacity to recreate a geometrically normal and biomechanically stable hip joint. Mal-positioining of components can lead to various complications and the surgeons have to make vital decisions intra-operatively based on their experience. Materials and Methods: This study describes a simple instrument to aid alignment of femoral stem insertion and hence achieve the normal range of ante-version between 10 º-20 º. Experiments performed on a saw bone model by twenty orthopaedic surgeons, each making six attempts to insert a prosthesis demonstrated improved positioning when compared to unaided insertion. Results: The mean average femoral stem ante-version unaided was 18.3 º (range, 4.9 º to 36.6 º). Device aided ante-version was 14.4 º (range, 9.8 º to 18.9 º) (p<0.001). We also report the practicality of the use of the device which was assessed by use on cadavers. Conclusion: Precise assessment of stem ante-version can be achieved in non-navigated THR if such a device is available intra-operatively.

Water pollution is a foremost problem across the world that endangers the survival and development of man and society. As a result of this menace, the effective and efficient removal of heavy metal ions from water has become a serious concern. Metal– organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained attention as promising materials for liquid-phase adsorptive removal of heavy metal ions. Properties such as large surface area, high adsorption capacity, tunable porosity, hierarchical structure and recyclability give MOFs
an edge over conventional adsorbents. In this article, recent advances in the removal of toxic heavy metal ions from water by MOFs are highlighted.

Authors: Sahu Samrat , Maji Modhu Sudan
Published: January 2023

This brief highlight described about our recently reported method of cascade Prins-type cyclization method. Structural complexity and interesting biological activity made hapalindole alkaloid an attractive choice to the synthetic organic chemist over the past few decades. Keeping the importance of hapalindole scaffolds in mind, in this line, we recently disclosed a redox-neutral, biomimetic Prins-type cyclization between indole and an aldehyde bearing a terminal ene-promoter. The mild reaction protocol allows incorporation of several key functionalities in the products, and products were isolated with excellent yields and diastereoselectivities. Applying this strategy total synthesis of seven hapalindole alkaloids and formal synthesis of two more related alkaloids were accomplished in a stereodivergent manner in relatively fewer synthetic steps.

Narrating Marginality: Gender Crisis in Shashi Deshpande’s The Dark Holds No Terror
Authors: Manoj Kumar  , Prof. V. Ch. N. K. Srinivasa Rao
Published: January 2023

Feminine sensibilities and gender issues are based on different cultures and diasporic essence. The desire and aspirations of women of different countries are not similar. Their demands are influenced by a number of variables, including familial, societal/racial, marital, economic, cultural, and personal ones. It is considered incorrect to compare Indian feminism to western feminism, which is characterised by radical rules, in such a varied culture. In its early stages, Indian feminism was wholly liberal and addressed every facet of mankind. There hasn't been a significant political or social uprising in India against the male-dominated culture. In beginning, they seek to address the inequality and dissimilarity that existed between males and females. They desired to bridge the gaps between men and women through their social revolt and provide the psychological reason for the male violence against women. Some feminist intellectuals extended the gender issues focusing the intention on rape and other forms of sexual violence. To them, such gender issues of exploitation are because of the male dominant society. They agree with Liberal feminists that material change and patriarchy is the sole reason for women's discrimination. They argue against the existing tradition of love, marriage, and gender inequality and demand equal social rights. The women writers like Shashi Deshpande have used fiction to explore and share their experiences. The myriad conflicts, which they face in everyday lives, are woven into the fictional world of their creation. To Shashi Deshpande, traditional beliefs also play a major role in female discrimination.
Rescuing the Repressed: Emancipatory Possibilities of “Everyday” in Anjum Hasan’s Street on the Hill
Authors: Paul Nabanita
Published: January 2023

In an interview with Sumana Roy, Anjum Hasan told, “The lyrical expression of the ordinary attracts me.” (Hasan) In poem after poem of the anthology Street on the Hill (2006), we find Hasan exploring the solitary and ordinary lives of the people, which go unnoticed most of the time. Hasan seems to rescue the routinized landscape of everyday life, replete with a deadening force of familiar boredom, from the sea of oblivion in her anthology. Marxist philosopher Henry Lefebvre, in 1947, came up with a prophetic note saying everyday life was being colonized by the commodity, by a “modern” postwar capitalism. The present paper aims to assess everyday life as portrayed by Hasan along the Lefebvrian line of arguments and thus explore if there lies any emancipatory possibility from the clutch of capitalist colonialism. By referring to every “insignificant” detail of ordinary life in the poems, the paper would go in search of the epic in the ordinary current study.
