LIHAAF (THE QUILT) A STUDY FROM SHORT STORY TO CINEMATIC APPROPRIATION: OBSCURING THE FEMALE RELATIONSHIP

The concept of homosexuality has generated considerable debate over the years, but it has failed to establish itself as a rigid identity. Until recently, the voices of homosexuals remained unheard. More specifically, Ismat Chughtai was the first female author to explore lesbianism. The society hesitated to accept them and disguised their identity by tormenting them with traditions or feelings. Adhering to the theme of representing the subaltern, this paper attempts to read between the lines of Ismat Chughtai's short story Lihaaf (The Quilt) in order to discern a woman's blossoming same-sex relationship. Through the protagonist Begum Jaan, Chughtai focuses on life's essential elements: society and the individual. As the tale unfolds, she uncovers two significant aspects of her life: her husband's interest in men and her own interest in women. Frequently, societal pressure prevents an individual from embracing his or her sexuality. The paper addresses the concept of self through the lens of a wife and lesbian who celebrates her identity despite living in a traditional patriarchal society. Ultimately, it mediates the concept of self-reconstruction and condemns the stereotypical identity imposed by society. The study raises concerns about a society that plays an essential role in the subjugation of women and homosexuals by denying them fundamental rights. The fact that Lihaaf was adapted from a seminal work of feminist literature from the subcontinent lends the novel some merit. This paper also examines how the short story-to-screen adaptation rewrites Lihaf to conceive a different queer female desire possibility. I shall discuss how the film disturbs the voyeuristic, heteronormative position of the masculine viewer. It also interprets the film as an intervention in the homosexual representational norms of mainstream Hindi film.

Redeeming Michitsuna's Mother: A Feminist Reading of the Kagerō Diary / 道綱母の名誉救済：蜻蛉日記のフェミニスト的解釈

A quantitative approach to the Kagerō Diary (Kagerō nikki, 974) reveals a proud, competitive, creative, and compassionate woman whose ambition to gain status and prestige was ultimately thwarted by relative infertility because, in her polygamous society, children were the avenue to a woman's success. The author has often been disparaged as jealous, hysterical, neurotic, and masochistic, but these are exaggerations that seem to be the result of gendered stereotypes. She is only outspokenly resentful of her husband's relationships with women who threatened her dignity and status; she often laments her husband's negligence, but she also shares many warm moments with him and is more than a wife. She has strong bonds with her biological family members, is recognized as a talented poet, corresponds with a variety of her peers, and undertakes numerous pilgrimages. She retains her husband's interest for nearly twenty years, and then turns her attention to the needs of her adult children, a biological son and an adopted daughter. It is her son's achievements, not her husband's affection, that elicits her strongest expressions of joy. A data-driven analysis of the Kagerō Diary, combined with recognition of the importance of status and prestige among the aristocracy in Heian Japan, refutes sexist characterizations and allows us to see Michitsuna's mother as an impressive figure.

Outcomes of father involvement in pregnancy and birth.

ABSTRACT: To test the assumption that father involvement in pregnancy and childbirth results in more positive birth and fathering experiences, 40 primiparous couples recruited from childbirth education classes and obstetricians were studied. About two weeks before their due dates each mother was asked to rate her marital closeness and her husband's interest in children. These couples were observed for one hour in mid‐labor. Then mothers and fathers were interviewed about one week after the birth. Fathers who were more involved in terms of their wives’ reports of prenatal marital closeness gave generally more positive reports of the delivery and the new baby. Fathers who were involved in terms of their wives’ estimates of their interest in children were rated by observers as interacting with their wives less during labor. (BIRTH 10:1, Spring 1983)
