The Question of Healing and Forgetting： Disturbing Realities inShort Stories of Ritu Menon and Uravashi Bhutalia

It is taken for granted that during partition （Indo-Pak, 1947）, Hindus were massacred by Muslims and same isconsidered true vice versa. This is a deep rooted attitude behind years of prejudice between both the communities.The collective sensibility of one community has affected the other. The available history of partition discussesmainly the political issues or is marked with patriotic bias. For the historians, it has been a constitutional or politicalarrangement which does not affect the contours of Indian society. If seen from the perspective of survivors, thehistory of partition appears very different. It is all violence for them. This difference leads to a wide chasm betweenhistory and the account in form of oral history in particular about partition; its pain and silence. On one hand wherenations can insulate them behind national interests and agendas, the communities that faced partition have to livewith painful memories and moments of violence they faced. Urvashi Bhutalia in her The Other Side of Silence andRitu Menon in her Borders and Boundaries narrates the inhuman experiences of women migrants and trauma facedby survivors. Women in their short stories speak for themselves, without any restrictions or depending on any criticor historian to interpret their pain, about the violence they faced by strangers as well as their near and dear ones.They were subjected to rape and abduction, given no choice of repatriation, were forced to abort or abandonchildren fathered by their abductors. They struggled to put their life together in state of loss of identity andbelongingness. The paper tries to investigate the link between community, caste, gender with violence at the time ofpartition. It deals with the ＂memory＂ that steps in when history fails to address the issue of dislocation. It discusseswomen＇s unspeakable horrifying experiences, their painful truth and their silence that is still in the process ofhealing and forgetting.

Pussy Riot at the Crossroads of Politics and Faith Today

Moscow-based Feminist Punk performers Pussy Riot challenged the millennial patriarchal Russian State-Church Religio-Political control on freedom in arts and suppression of women. Woman is still the other of this Church-State totalism, outside. The event is extremely small but the symbolism enormous of an intrinsic lack and its insane compensations. Philosopher Zi^ek sees the significance of what Pussy Riot represent for contemporary global capitalism, represented by the American dollar and Wall Street. Performer Madonna sees the difference between America, where she has been able to express herself and says that anyone can, and other parts of the world, namely Russia, where this is not possible. Although Edward Snowdon found sanctuary in Russia from America, so perhaps Zizek is right.

Causes and Ramifications of the Xinjiang july 2009 Disturbances

In July 2009, serious ethnic disturbances took place in 0r^imqi, the capital of Xinjiang, in China＇s north-west. Although open to diverse interpretations, they embodied serious conflicts between the Oighurs--the most populous ethnic group of Xinjiang--and China＇s dominant Han nationality. This article seeks to identify the causes of the disturbances, including both those internal to China and those external to it, both short-term and long-term. The issue is important, because Chinese official sources largely blamed outside terrorist and extremist forces, especially those associated with the main Uighur diaspora organizations, while the Uighur diaspora itself, largely supported by Western journalists and scholars, put the responsibility on the Chinese state, charging it with injustices against the Uighurs. This article contributes to the literature by finding both internal and external contributing factors. It also looks at the ramifications of the disturbances, including both the aftermath of the incidents and prospects for the future, and adopts a fairly pessimistic stance concerning short-term ethnic relations. The methodology is textual analysis and personal experience.

Analysis on Discourse Construction of HK Riots between HK Protesters and China's Mainland Media Based on Fairclough’s Three-dimensional Framework of Critical Discourse Analysis

The Critical Discourse Analysis(CDA)is an interdisciplinary tool in various conditions,which aims to provide a better understanding of sociocultural aspects of texts and accounts of the production of internal structure,and overall organization of texts as well as to provide a critical dimension in its theoretical and descriptive accounts of texts.Since June last year,HK protests or HK violence have been frequently reported by worldwide media.In this paper,the author aims to find out how the HK protesters and the Mainland media describe the same event based on the three-dimensional framework of CDA.At last,the author concludes that the mainland media generally describe the event as violence and riot while the HK protesters define themselves as warriors striving for more freedom,justice and democracy.Besides,on this event,the Mainland media mainly accuses some western countries of interference into HK affairs,which is undoubtedly of China’s internal affairs,and the media give full support to the HK police in safeguarding the peace and stability of Hong Kong.But from the perspective of HK protesters,they firmly believe that they are using their actions to protect all the people of HK,and they are defending their values such as freedom,democracy and justice.These are two totally different systems of language,and the author also gives its potential reasons in the paper so as to offer some viewpoints in this aspect in combination with the CDA theory.

Regulation of toxins and bioregulators under the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention

In this paper we highlight how the apparent double coverage of toxins and bioregulators by both the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention(BTWC)and the Chemical Weapons Convention(CWC)in fact masks a regulatory gap that has left such potentially dangerous agents neglected by both the control regimes during a period of rapid advances in relevant chemical,life and associated sciences and technologies.We first review what toxins,bioregulators and other mid-spectrum agents are and why they are of such concern and then examine how they are regulated under the BTWC and CWC.This paper then examines an illustrative range of contemporary chemical and life science research and associated activities of concern drawn from case study research on China,India,Iran,Russia,Syria and the United States,and assesses how the CWC and BTWC States Parties have inadequately addressed these threats.We then examine how both the CWC and BTWC Review Conferences failed to address these long-term challenges,and we end by providing a series of recommendations for how both regimes can be strengthened in this area.

Zero Hour:Simone White and D.S.Marriott

This essay has two strands.It examines Simone White’s writing on U.S.Trap in Dear Angel of Death(2017),bringing in questions of gender and of the history of writings of“The Music,”in dialogue with thinkers such as Amiri Baraka and Nathaniel Mackey.Historicizing writings on Black music,and their intersections with questions of gender and class,the essay also reflects on the relations between U.S.and U.K.thinking on anti-blackness and music,and sketches some speculative lineages for the different poetic traditions from which such work emerges.Exploring Trap’s address to male desire and vulnerability within the context of anti-black violence and the American carceral State,White hears in Trap something beyond nihilism,even if only as proxy or metaphor—an expression of desire and horror which is the threat of aliveness in the face of social death.The essay also explores U.K.-born,U.S.-based D.S.Marriott’s engagement with grime in his most recent book of poetry,Duppies(2017,U.S.edition 2019).“Post-work”and“post-brexit,”Marriott’s grime poetics registers the racial antagonisms unleashed by the Brexit vote,and harks back to the 2011 U.K.riots triggered by Mark Duggan’s murder at the hands of the police.Marriott understands grime as representing performances of labor,and racialized identity performance itself as a kind of un-remunerated labor,related to Black social death.Both internalizing and refusing the interpellation of the police and state apparatus,and often literally unintelligible to white mainstream society,it is a space of performative subversion,powerful even when mocked,derided or ignored.As“the thread which links afro-pessimism to afro-futurism,”grime could be positioned as a theoretical solution to ongoing debates on Afro-pessimism and Afro-optimism;but it“proceeds without ties or duplicity,”refusing identification or pigeonholing.Neither grime nor Trap,Marriott’s nor White’s poetry,ask for or require empathy.Their“fierce rigor and method”are tools of diagnosis and resistance vital for understanding poetry,race and politics today.

爱，摇滚和革命——Riot Grrrl回顾

Grrrl风格的发展1991年的夏天,新的大多数的女子乐队开始在riot grrrl(意为女子暴动)的旗织下聚集。Riot grrrl这个词来源于两个方面。Tobi Vail写过关于"ongry grrrl"(愤怒的女子),而"riot"(暴动)来源于一位华盛顿特区的朋友Jen Smith给Allison wolfe的一封信。Jen Smith曾短暂地加入过Bratmobile乐队。信中提到近期华盛顿特区Mt:Pleasant一次种族歧视枪击案所引起的暴动。Smith写到:"我们应该发动一次girl riot(也是女子暴动的意思)。最后,这个词变成了riot grrrl(女子暴动,girl变成了一个新单词grrrl)
