Who speaks for the Moor? Interrogating Shakespeare's Othello Bajpaie, Sahana This paper tries to trace how Shakespeare's Othello has been textualized and argue how despite the play's obvious racial/cultural politics considered by the relatively new critical studies very few attempts have been made to unfold the problematic of receiving the text and its creator in the colonial/postcolonial Indian context. This paper will also try to throw light on the fact that how Othello has been compelled to endorse the supremacy of the liberal humanist culture by accepting the state distinction between civilized and barbaric, white and non-white, culture and sub-culture. And how the dominant ideology continues to claim its moral and intellectual superiority justifying that it has even placed the "demi-devil" at the heart of a supreme aesthetic manifestation-it has been 'pitying' and 'pitying' the Moor ever since he appeared on the English stage.

The prometheus myth in the novels of william golding Manzoor, Sohana Much influenced by the horrors of the two World Wars, William Golding (1911-93) began his literary career as a novelist during the second half of the 20th century. His novels depict the intricate human psychology and lack of human relationship in an age where men actually have little to live for. In explaining occurrences in the human world Golding went back to myths, just as writers and philosophers before him had used mythical stories to interpret various human situations. Hence, Golding has taken up a number of recurring mythical motifs, and detailed examination shows how these motifs are central to explaining his complex themes. One such motif is the figure of Prometheus, a champion of mankind from Greek mythology who revolted against the immortal gods to free mankind. Classical Greek writers, such as, Aeschylus portrayed him as a rebel who ultimately reconciled himself with the immortals. However, in the Renaissance and Romantic literature Prometheus became a symbol of suffering and aspiring humanity. In modern literature, once again the role of this great hero changed. Since that heroic world is lost in our non-heroic one Golding concentrates on the fallen or debased aspects of mankind interlinked with intense suffering. So, while examining Golding's Promethean figures, this paper will try to assess the author's philosophy of reshaping the myth of Prometheus.

The heritage of Shankharibazar: peoples participation in the conservation process to promote cultural tourism Ahmed, Iftekhar Shankharibazar, the 300 years old urban settlement of Dhaka city was built during the Mughal period and the later part of the British rule. Most of the residents are specialist craftsmen who make 'Shankha' (a special kind of bangle for the Hindu married women made of seashells). The name of the area has evolved from the name of this craft. About 10,000 people live in about 4.6 acres of land. There are 157 houses on both side of the 600 feet long narrow alley. They share unique architectural styles. Over the years many unplanned modifications took place which is a serious threat for the houses with heritage value. With its linear built form, rich history and special craft, Shankharibazar has a unique aura and deserved special attention for conservation. There is a good scope of promoting cultural tourism here. Being a living heritage site, the existing population must participate in the conservation process. A "community-based" conservation process should be promoted to market the area as a tourist attraction. This paper suggests the process of integrated public involvement in the conservation management plan for Shankharibazar including steps, such as, understanding problems; generating and evaluating the options for response; and ultimately choosing a roadmap for conservation management for a successful spot for cultural tourism.
