Title	:	Joe Christmas's racial ambivalence dilemma in William Faulkner's Light in August
Country	:	The Ivory Coast
Authors	:	NAOUNOU
	:	10.9790/0837-2202031317

Abstract: William Faulkner intended Joe Christmas to be a tragic character who would constantly seek an identity. He combats any threat to his safety—be it physical, mental, or emotional safety—with violent reactions that generally manifest in outbursts toward women for threatening his conception of his sexuality by coercing him into an intimate relationship. At many points throughout the novel, Joe Christmas associates himself with the black race and endures all of the ridicule that comes with it just to believe that he knows a little bit about his personal history and allows his racial confusion to influence his construction of his sexual identity throughout his adolescent and adult life. His overpowering drive to define himself as a victim of the racial hostility leads to a tragic end—specifically, his castration and murder..............

Abstract: Language is the ability to acquire and use complex systems of communication, particularly the human ability to do so, and a language is any specific example of such a system. The scientific study of language is called linguistics. Error analysts distinguish between errors, which are systematic, and mistakes, which are not. They often seek to develop a typology of errors. Error can be classified according to basic type: omissive, additive, substitutive or related to word order. They can be classified by how apparent they are: overt errors such as "I angry" are obvious even out of context, whereas covert errors are evident only in context. Closely related to this is the classification according to domain...............

	:	10.9790/0837-2202034751

Abstract: The present paper examines the concept of the new women of the twentieth century American society through the character of Blanche DuBois from Tennessee Williams' play 'A Streetcar Named Desire'. It also analyzes the reasons behind Blanche's mental breakdown at the end of the play based on Clara Thompson's psychoanalytic theories of personality development. According to Thompson, women's psychology is actually formed by the passive acceptance of social norms related to cultural and economic factors. But the defiance of these norms becomes a threat to the traditional patriarchal society and throws women to an imbalance..........

Country	:	Tunisia
Authors	:	Hana Riani
	:	10.9790/0837-2202035261

Abstract: As a powerful ideological force, American globalization has played a predominant role in creating a new world (Dis) order based on the premise of hegemonic imperialism. It has shifted the dynamics of US power to a one governed by the politics of global businesses and corporations such as McDonald, Coca Cola, Mickey Mouse, Sony, TV programs, Music and other cultural artifacts. Within this vein, the globalization of American culture strengthens the iconography and influence of the US while eradicating cultural diversity and de- historicizing "otherized" cultures. The rampant popularity of US cultural commodities across the globe recycles the long-held myths about the power of an exploitative metropolitan global culture dependent on the production, circulation and consumption of American way of life and values..........

Abstract: In "The Danger of a Single Story," Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie reveals how people construct other people's image through the story they tell about them. She explains how power plays an important role in defining one group whose story is told over and over from the perspective of those in position of power. The end result, Adichie suggests, is that a single story reduces people to mere misrepresentations, what is even more dangerous about it, is that how people perceive the defined group is determined by the single story teller, that is, the more powerful. This study argues that Adichie herself comes close to misrepresenting Northern Nigerian identity in her fiction...........
