    Comic strips are a peculiarly American phenomenon. From 1956 to 1970, according to comic book historians, was the silver age of comics. Some of the most popular and enduring comic book heroes were born or re-invented at this turbulent juncture in American history, especially by DC Comics and Marvel. 1960s America was a period of remarkable political and social change. This paper is an attempt to trace the changes in American socio-political life and the language and temperament of the people echoed in the most popular comic books of that era.

    2022-02-15 Mass Displacements and Ecological Crises in Gun Island A spatial Reading presented and published national 2021-2022 Khare-Dhere Bhosle College, Ratnagiri
    Online
    Postmodern anxieties are exacerbated by ecological crises all over the world. What had once been stable boundaries like national borders or environmental indicators have been destabilized by climate change. Mass displacements, human and non-human, are a direct result of these catastrophic changes. Cartographic practices, with their claim to be transparent and objective further alienate man from his natural surroundings. Literature has always attempted to give a form to the human world. Novels, poems and stories are narratives to map our spatial, social and natural spaces. Westphals geo-critical approach taken in conjunction with an eco-aesthetic approach to Amitav Ghoshs novels of climate change, rapid exodus, threatened livelihoods, mysterious possessions, mammalian and reptilian distress, set in the Sunderbans in West Bengal, will be the focus of this paper. Ghosh captures the natural beauty of the Sunderbans and more importantly its complicated relations to human agency in his novels of climate change: Gun Island and The Hungry Tide.
