    A Psychoanalytical reading of the body In Jeanette Winterson’s sexing the Cherry
    (BRAC University, 2015-08) Rayeesa, Untara; Karim, Dr. Shuchi
    The role of the body in determining and destabilizing the subject‟s position within a given framework has been discussed with concentrated effort in feminist academia with a view to understanding the dilemma of sexual difference. It has rendered the body into the fragmenting frontier between the inner and outer, the psychic and the material. This dissertation adopts the psychoanalytical lens in examining Jeanette Winterson‟s postmodern fantasy Sexing the Cherry to investigate the limits to meanings attached to the body and its function in assembling and disintegrating the subject.

    Walcott and Brathwaite: Caribbean modernity and "the detritus of the past"
    (BRAC University, 2012-12) Rayeesa, Untara
    The Caribbean quest to conceptualize the modernity inherent in their condition is illustrated in living color by Derek Walcott and Edward K. Brathwaite in their critically acclaimed poetry. In doing so not only do they respond to and defy conventional established tropes and categories but they also evolve new modes of representation uniquely suited to depict the disconnection, dispossession and fragmentation embodied by the Caribbean consciousness. This dissertation attempts to investigate the tenuous modernity depicted in the verses of these poets, and how these depiction transcend not just borders but entire notions of history, identity and selfhood.
