Women in Ancient Greek literature: Either Conformist or Rebellious

PERFORMANCE: Journal of English Education and Literature, 2025

Ancient Greek mythology often depicted women as deceitful and manipulative, reflecting patriarchal society. This study contrasts the portrayal of women in Ancient Greek literature and modern-day literature, focusing on the female protagonists Medea, Clytemnestra, and Jocasta. It examines how these women, through their actions in Medea, Agamemnon, and Oedipus Rex, challenge societal norms and grapple with issues of power, identity, and autonomy. Feminist perspectives highlight how these ancient figures resonate with modern concerns about individuality and gender equality, revealing a long-standing tension between societal conformity and personal agency. This research will delve into the roles of female characters aware of their social position and, thereby, gradually emerging as rebellious and defying figures in their society. This paper elaborately discusses how societal conventions define women as either ideal or evil, based on male standards. By exploring gender expectations across literary eras, the study offers insights into how women navigate these constraints and highlights new avenues for feminist literary discourse.

It is needless to describe the importance of the English language in Bangladesh, where it has gained the status of a second official language. The paper intends to unfold every possible kind of influence on Bangladeshi English Language Learners having different dialects while learning it as a Foreign Language. Researchers have surveyed around 45 tertiary-level language learners from some prominent universities in Bangladesh. Both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods have been followed, along with tools like interviews and surveys, on the selected samples for this research. The outcome of this research endeavor is expected to provide us with a clear focus on both the positive and negative effects of using cross-dialectal forms by English Language Learners.

TURNING ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING INTO SERVICE LEARNING: TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION FOR FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

The researchers delineate some feasible models for incorporating service-learning into ELT arrangements at the program offering entity and, thereby, illustrate how these SL and ELT combinations might result in TE and, somehow or other, instigate FIR.

Concurrently, this study seeks to analyze the Bangladeshis’ use of various forms of diglossia in the light of Bourdieu’s symbolic capital. It aims to elaborate how the diglossic forms of Bangla language are shaped as per both the Bangladeshi speaker’s and listener’s symbolic capitals – social capital, cultural capital, and linguistic capital; how language form reveals one’s whole power, position, status and money in the society; and how, in Bangladesh, the differences in a person’s general behavioral pattern or assumptions toward other persons about their social position can be spotted through the use of diglossia of Bangla language. The study applied a simple random sampling to conduct a survey on 50 Bangladeshis aging 18-50 years from across the country. It used the qualit...

The study applied a simple random sampling to conduct a survey on 50 Bangladeshis aging 18-50 years from across the country. It used the qualitative research methodology which utilized a semi-structured questionnaire to collect data, and it analysed the collected data through coding, categorizing, and percentile representations. The findings offer integral affiliations between the use of diglossia and capitalistic considerations mostly symbolical ones.
