The Figuration of Art, History and Self: Art Spiegelman’s Maus as a Palimpsest
Authors: Ajay Amrita 
Published: September 2022

The winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1991, Art Spiegelman’s Maus is an iconic work of world art. Seldom does one come across a work that challenges the parameters of its own creation in such a radical way. A graphic novel that is both biographical and autobiographical, history and fiction, memoir and comic art, pushing generic integrities to collapse upon themselves, Maus has deserved the critical and popular success it has garnered worldwide.
A testimonial to the never-ending horrors of the Holocaust, Maus has popularly been read as an attempt at exorcism of the author’s demons, and perhaps with him of a race caught in the warps of history and time. As the narrator tries to tell the story of his life, through the story of his father’s experiences in Nazi Poland, he creates theriomorphic creatures to define the parameters of human existence in the sub-human dimensions of unspeakable nightmares of history. Disney’s beloved Mickey Mouse and the cat and mouse chase of children’s stories assume Kafkaesque grotesqueness in the mice, cats, pigs and sundry animals that ‘people’ this authorial world divided across religious and political affiliations. Through the passive aggressive narrative of the Oedipal struggle between the father and the son emerges the story of lives caught in the whirlpool of timespans, continents, memories and generations.
My paper seeks to explore the complexity of the visual-autobiographical articulations of selfhood through the intersections of genre, history and language. The layers of remove that frame this novel can be understood as the constructive aesthetic of Spiegelman’s effort in illustrating and writing Maus. The ironical self-distancing of the author and characters make this work of self-writing-illustrating unique beyond the pale of mere self-reflexivity. It is not simple a book about the writing of a book that encapsulates a piece of history. It goes a step ahead to talk about identity as fraught in the process of remembering, writing, re-writing and reading. Spiegelman’s narrator Art is a mouse on account of his Jewish roots that cannot be shaken off, but assumes the mask of one, too, because the task of writing and publishing need one to make a mask out of one’s most personal sentiments. My paper further argues that the remembered history in Maus can only ever be constructed one, which complicates the understanding of the text as a testimonial/memoir/history. By exploring the visual and verbal language along with the paratextual elements of the novel, I will finally posit that Maus is a text that writes and re-writes itself across a range of selfhoods, meaning-making and search for closure that is perpetually deferred and thus unreachable.
Our Duty to Morality
Authors: Dhody Natesan Sarabjeet 
Published: September 2022

Societal violence against children in general and sexual violence against the girl child are rising alarmingly. Seen as soft victims, neither multiple state legislations nor natural laws of morality have been able to keep them safe. The issue becomes contentious when violence is perpetrated along gender, class, and religious identities. The justice system is being co-opted to stand with the oppressors, intent on preventing the voice of support to the victims from rising, effectively shrinking and shutting down spaces for displaying solidarity and social dissent. A scene India witnessed in its horrific intent in 2018 in what came to be called the Kathua Rape Case.
Through the perspective of life writing, this paper will reflect on how an individual response to this heart-wrenching event developed into an organic community protest in a calm seaside town of South India, hundreds of miles removed from the mountains of Kashmir. When the State denied permission to assemble, fearing a larger discontent, the civil society demonstrated its resolve and coalesced to raise a silent voice against the violence and brutal molestation of an eight-year-old child. All this peacefully, without defying authority, and without breaking any rules.
Beginnings of Gender Discourses in Modern Keralam: Revisiting Early Women's Magazines
Authors: Dr. Shalini. M. Dr. Shalini. M. 
Published: September 2022

Gender has been a buzzword of the 21st century. Gender, another word for sexual difference, a column that asked one to spell out if you are a male or female, has become a term loaded with meanings in the contemporary world. Despite differing opinions on how gender is understood, contemporary critical theory has identified gender as one of the fundamental organizing principles around which social life is shaped. Biology as the final destination in connection with gender identity was questioned in the 1980s by Judith Butler, who took cues from earlier feminists like Simone de Beauvoir and Monique Wittig and suggested that women are an imagined group. Concepts like femininity and masculinity, which were until then considered as decided only by biology, were interrogated and found as contingent categories. The performative and socio-cultural aspects of gender proposed by Butler changed the way we look at the category gender and issues pertaining to it (Butler, Gender Trouble). However, old norms and prejudices too exist along with these new propositions, asserting themselves and finding newer ways to sell older essences in new bottles. Therefore, the contemporary world witnesses and bears the anxieties of a gendered society while also producing discourses on gender neutrality and postgenderism. Nivedita Menon explains the paradoxical ways in which gender is used in India. She looks at how on the one hand, it has challenged the notion of woman as a category and how it gets more regressively used as a synonym for woman in state developmental projects on the other hand (Menon 94).
The Terra Comica between Mark Twain and Sherman Alexie
Authors: Holbrook Myrial Adel 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Mark Twain and Sherman Alexie are at once an unlikely and a likely duo. A vast gulf of time, culture, and heritage separates them. What likens them is their shared celebrity status and iconic, irreverent humor. This paper undertakes a comparison between Twain and Alexie, not to diminish the important and idiosyncratic role of Native American humor, but rather to bring it into conversation with white humor, perhaps approaching a multiplex American humor. A comparison of two of their early works, Roughing It for Twain and The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven for Alexie, to illuminate the ways in which both authors eschew the physical terrain of the West, instead monumentalizing a cacophonous, comical verbal landscape. Both authors, as public figures, also raise questions of what it means to monumentalize authors, and this paper gestures toward that dual pitfall and potential.
The Dark Posthuman
Authors: Polsky Stephanie 
Published: September 2022

The Dark Posthuman: Dehumanization, Technology, and the Atlantic World explores how liberal humanism first enlivened, racialized, and gendered global cartographies, and how memory, ancestry, expression, and other aspects of social identity founded in its theories and practices made for the advent of the category of the posthuman through the dimensions of cultural, geographic, political, social, and scientific classification.
The posthuman is very much the product of world-building narratives that have their beginnings in the commercial franchise and are fundamentally rooted in science, governance, and economics around the hegemonic appropriation of environments and commodification of bodies that initially fuelled white settler life worlds and continue to be operational in the way we conceive of these worlds as continuous ontological formations. The want has always been for ownership of any of these dimensions of being without regard to condition, to not remain stranded as the subsidiary of another’s being, to another’s claim to humanity, and finally, to escape the suffocating confines of an instrumental ontology that suggests a subcategory of humanity without rights onto itself.
The Dark Posthuman distinguishes the posthuman’s place within both the liberal and neoliberal imaginary and reveals how its appearance first entrenched itself through the avarice of English settler colonialism, and subsequently, through the paranoia of American slavery. This same figure of the posthuman played a crucial role in the functional adaptation of Cold War behavioural cybernetics, and thereafter, in the fetishization of technology within the era of global financialization. The shadowing of this arrangement during and beyond the long duration of humanity’s domination of this world becomes the structural web work of this book.

The difference with new economic growth theories hypothesis and the Solow theory of growth have provided a new methodology framework. This framework established the sustainable choice of parametric measure and non-parametric measure of total productivity of factors(TPF).
Those choices which are depended to initial Solow hypothesis allow to release non-parametric analysis to parametric one. Especially, while time series datas or panel datas are used to set econometric method.
For this relevant analysis, the GMM lag use TFP like endogenous variable.

ETUDE DES FACTEURS D’OPTIMISATION DE LA VENTE DANS UNE ENTREPRISE TABACICOLE : « CAS DE LA GLOBAL MARKET MOVERS SARL »
Authors: Castro MBULA ABDI 
Published: September 2022

The present research focuses on the study of the factors of sales optimization in a tobacco company. The reasons for undertaking this study were to identify and analyze the explanatory factors of the optimization of the sale in the commercial company in general and in a tobacco company in particular, in order to highlight their influence in the optimization of the productivity of this one and to have an idea on the evolution of the sales of this company in order to release the gaps which exists between the realized turnover compared to the various expenses related to the marketing and the distribution
The results of this study proved that the factors of optimization of the sale of the GMM/Isiro would be the implementation of an effective marketing policy which would bring the product closer to the consumers and a good management of its sales force by starting with the recruitment, the training, the remuneration, the animation, the control and the evaluation. The correlation coefficient is 0.4873 > 0 : therefore there is a presumption of a positive correlation between turnover (Yt) and marketing expenses (X_t), i.e. the two variables move in the same direction : if marketing expenses increase, turnover also increases and if marketing expenses decrease, turnover also decreases ; the coefficient of determination is 0. 2375 i.e. the model is globally explained at 23.75 % by the endogenous variable (the turnover) which depends on the exogenous variable (the marketing expenses); in other words on the 100% of the sales realized by the GMM, 23.75 % are realized according to the marketing expenses The remaining 76.25% are explained by other variables than marketing expenses such as preference, price, taste, environment, product availability or permanence, agent motivation, habit, etc.

ANALYSE DE LA RENTABILITE DU SECTEUR HOTELIER A KINDU DE 2018 A 2020
Authors: Pierre UTCHINGA WELA , KASIMU GOMES YAHAYA 
Published: September 2022

In conducting this research on the profitability of the hotel sector in KINDU, the major concern is to answer the following question: Is it worth investing in the hotel sector in KINDU? To achieve this, we used inductive, comparative and analytical methods. This was supported by documentary techniques and semi-structured interview for data collection, on the one hand, and the technique of financial analysis for their processing, on the other hand. At the end of our analyses, the ratios obtained showed a real position of financial independence of the hotel sector at KINDU. Nevertheless, we have also observed that despite this financial independence of the sector, the economic, financial and commercial returns are positive, but low. This situation is the logical consequence, not only of the low purchasing power of the population, but also of the isolation of the city following the transport difficulties that the city isang through on all possible means of communication.

Le droit créance désigne l’ensemble des droits économiques sociaux et culturels. Ceux-ci sont les Droits de l’homme à part entière. Ces droits sont appelés ‘’droit créance’’, par opposition au ‘’droit liberté’’ (qui est l’ensemble des Droits Civils et Politiques), parce que leurs jouissances dépend de l’intervention publique. Les Etats ont le devoir de prendre des mesures et de créer des conditions facilitant la jouissance, par sa population, de ces droits. En fait, à lorsque la jouissance des Droits Civils et Politiques nécessite l’inaction de l’Etat, celle des droits économiques et sociaux requiert le contraire.
