“…To further see this, the Noongar identity is then asserted by the connectedness of the Aboriginal people (as an individual and as a collective self) with, based on the vitalistic philosophy, the 'booja' manifested in their 'body'. The Aborigine's living body is through passing down the stories of their elders (Cain, Finke, Johnson, McGowan, & Williams, 2001); their 'body' is their country and their 'body' is as a source of this connectedness; and their 'body' too gives them energy to move through the dance, through memories, and through returning to their kinship. Bobby Wabalanginy moved his feet, his body through this Deadman dance; his body rose up the spirit of their people who slowly disappeared as the settlement established and developed.…”

The reviving of the presence, existence, and eugenics of the Aborigines become pivotal issue to be brought up in the literature. Since the coming of the settlers, the Aborigines have seemed to experience shifting identity; living as a nominal population over the settlers; and later on becoming the ones who are attached with the 'exotic' due to their uniqueness and scarcity in number compared to the majority. This condition, from being the natives who own the land into those who become the 'rare' in their own land, provokes crucial issues related to the Aboriginal identity, which is challenging to be further discussed. Through That Deadman Dance, Scott tries to resurrect the Aborigine's identity, especially Noongar, in the midst of disappearing Aboriginal communities. This article is aimed at revealing the identity of Noongar people by selecting and grouping the textual data in the novel which portray the Aborigines cultural experience and their indigenity. Later on, the data were investigated based on Muecke's concept of connectedness to approach the problem. Accordingly, the narrative presented by Scott indicates that he has offered an alternative to view Aborigine's identity which is potentially unsettling; thus, this finding seems to challenge the prescribed identity of Noongar corresponded by the major society.'settlers' or Attwood called it as 'settler history-making' which provided British people and their white-descendants to be the central subject for the history of Australia (Attwood, 2005). This had lasted long nearly until the late 20 th century. The Aborigines have later become the subject of anthropology rather than history since their disappearing in the historical timeline of Australia. Over the next decades, eventually, the Aborigines could reappear after they have been out of history for

“…Much more simple than Lacan and also from a communicative perspective, Edgar Morin writes: -We can think of magic, mythologies, and ideologies both as mixed systems, making affectivity rational and rationality affective, and as outcomes of combining: a) fundamental drives, b) the chancy play of fantasy, and c) logico-constructive systems. To our mind, the theory of myth must be based on triunic syncretism rather than unilateral logic.‖ (Morin 2001(Morin : 2316 A writer of stream-of-consciousness fiction, like all serious writers, has something to say, to express some sense of values, and the most, he wants to communicate to the reader in a specific way. Unlike other writers, however, he chooses the internal world of psychic activity to dramatize these values.…”

The main thesis of this commentary relates to the great influence of Literature, both fiction and literary criticism, and especially the stream of consciousness phenomenon in learning a foreign language. In desire to express the huge influences of literature, the stream of consciousness technique and human mental activities on learning foreign language, the author of this review tries partly to explain the basic thesis as the individual component of the complex and unbreakable connection among these three categories (literature, applied linguistics and psychology) covered by the mantle of cultural codex.The book entitled Globalization and management in foreign language learning process: English at the beginning of the third millennium by Dr. Slobodanka Djolic brings together a combination of divergent theoretical and practical approaches to the foreign language learning process and to the complex psychological phenomenon-stream of consciousness-in an era in which this phenomenon has become a landmark of literary theory. Really, the book is an methodological innovation which expresses the process of learning foreign languages as the equivalent of stream of consciousness writing technique through the prism of psychoanalytical approach to the spontaneous assimilation of different issues surrounding this phenomenon, appearing in the human psych as the part of conscious consciousness, unconscious consciousness or sub-consciousness. All these parameters participate in the learning process but mainly we cannot define them consciously.

“…Though rooted in the literature of its time (and focusing especially on a form of drama quite different from ours), the extant Poetics has continued to powerfully influence criticism (Cain, W. E et al, 2010). Henceforth, it is an established fact that a discourse -may it be the screenplay of a movie, a play or that of a short story -is most often closely tested by the critics against the literary legacy left by Aristotle in his 'The Poetics'.…”

Mohammed Hanifis a well-known contemporary novelist who takes up the controversial actual incident of blowing up of Pak One, that is, the official airplane carrying the president of the country General Muhammad Zia-Ul-Haq, on 17 August 1988. The incident took place only a few weeks after the writer had left Pakistan Air Force Academy while doing the training as a Pilot Officer. The story pivots around General Zia and an Under Officer of Pakistan Air Force Academy Ali Shigri. Half of the story has been narrated in first person by Ali Shigri whereas the rest has been told in third person. The aim of this research paper has been to analytically assess the character of General Zia keeping in view the characteristics of a tragic hero as described by Aristotle in his 'The Poetics'. The text of the novel has been taken as a primary source for analysis. Conclusion of the study suggests that the treatment of the character of General Zia by and large is congruent to the likes of Macbeth, Othello and Hamlet thus proving his significance with an ideal Aristotelian Tragic Hero.
