Cultivating the Taste of the Nation: The National Council of Women of Canada and the Campaign against “Pernicious” Literature at the Turn of the Twentieth Century
This article analyzes the campaign against “pernicious” literature undertaken by the National Council of Women of Canada at the turn of the twentieth century. Concerned with the growing availability of dime novels, penny dreadfuls, and romances and their perceived influences on young readers, Council members sought to educate the Canadian public about the circulation of so-called “pernicious” literature. But they also sought to eradicate the popularity of “pernicious” literature by encouraging children, youth, and adults to read a “better class” of books, through the creation of the National Home Reading Union in 1895. This article argues that through these strategies, the Council’s campaign re-asserted the primacy of the family, with the mother as its moral guide, in providing the ultimate defence against the dangers of “pernicious” literature.

Comics as a Mode of Communication: Batman and Doga: A Comparative Study
The amazing level of interaction that a comic book has with its reader is what has had me hooked on to comic books right from the time I was a kid. Till today I feel the same excitement when I pick up a Maus by Art Speigelman or The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. What has interested me over the years is how the narrative and the artwork have changed with the changing times. It is this medium, which has been primarily looked upon as an entertainment source, which has captured my imagination since as long as I can remember.My childhood fascination with comics which has continued till today has led me to further explore the nuances of this medium. This dissertation is an attempt to assess how socio-cultural aspects of America and India have impacted two of the most famous superheroes ever in the respective countries. An attempt was also made to understand how the portrayal of women in these comics changed over time. Furthermore, this will attempt to evaluate the use of comics as a medium for education and communication.My secondary research was directed at examining the above to as great an extent as possible. Along with this, it was imperative to research and analyse the opinions of different people on the role which comics have played in society and their impact on society. The research analysis threw up interesting facts on how comics have been put to different uses around the world and how they have been viewed in India over the years.
