Glorious ideas has been found on this channel. I am gonna recommend it to all my class mates and people they are searching something at the Intellectual level. Finally, offering warm heart wishes for you Sir.
It can't be explained in any better way. You keep on challenging the popular notion that experts are not understandable for layperson. Your lectures are for everyone.
Thank you. I am taking an online course in literary theory, and I felt so lost. This video really simplifies the process of writing a paper in a way which I can easily understand. I truly appreciate you taking time to post this!

Sir, I'm so happy and inspired that a Pakistani flag and coated film in ideas is very natural to learners! I'm just a beginner in the field of writing research work and endeavouring to make up my mind for a useful and convincing start..please bless me with some ideas or research papers could help encouraging my identical learning features to a success..regards.
Thank you and welcome. Please explore different playlists on the channel. I have quite a few videos on research and writing and those could be useful to you.
Okay, I will soon record a video about that. Though, to be honest, we do not ask our students to write a literature review for their dissertations. That is a social sciences practice.
The choice of journal will depend on your subject matter. Just a simple search on your topic will give you a list of journals. In postcolonial studies: Interventions, postcolonial text, Journal of Commonwealth Studies are some good journals. There is a whole list on my website: postcolonial.net/postcolonial-resources/academic-journals/
Hi. This video was so helpful thank you so much! I have an exam for my degree on a literary theory of my choosing and therefore will not be able to discuss other peoples' interpretation of the theory or use any secondary material really. In this case, what would you recommend?
Thank you for information I had completed misunderstanding of finding theory in novel but now I am quite clear . Kindly guide that can apply I apply existentialism in order to explore the idea of deciding own fate in face of culture .
I have an important question. If I am set to prove the presence of simulacra in a novel and I am, of course, using Baudrillard's concept of simulation and simulacra as literary theory, how am I supposed to insert other literary criticism or theories that help me develop on my ideas? For instance I have discovered several simulacra in a novel and they all have different uses/backgrounds. I tend toosearch for literary theory to explain the simulacra, and I don't know what is the correct way to do this. Any advice?
Thank you. I cant really address this in a comment, but it would be more useful to first discuss your understanding of the term and then read a particular novel, but not to prove that simulacra exist in it but what purpose do they serve within the novel.
Thank you for an informative lecture. How can one apply other social science (management) theories to write an essay/thesis? I wish to use relational exchange and resource dependency theories to explain informal business collaborations.
You can just replace the literary with management theories and apply it to real life situations. Also, read the published materials in your field and see how others apply it.
Hello sir Could you pls suggest good Scopus indexed journal for English literature?? Now on my university will consider only those papers which are or will be published in Scopus indexed n within in 6 months I'll be submitting my thesis. Now I want to my article published in Scopus.
Sir can I use any theory to critically analyse a novel?? Simply put..using the feminist theory in a novel that talks only of the plight of the female character..So is it ok to apply a theory to a novel that discusses the exact opposite ideas that the theory suggests?
@@rajeshwaribandyopadhyay6202 These questions can best be answered by your faculty, as they are the only ones who know of your training and the requirements of your assignments.
Thank You Sir for the valuable and informative videos. A request: Can You make and share a videos focusing on the Post 9/11 scenario and to link with post-colonialism
@@masoodraja Thank You Respected Sir. In fact I am trying to compare Pakistani Literature (fictions and plays) produced during these two periods by applying some of the postcolonial relevant concepts on post 9/11 literature. SO, I am searching for those relevant concepts. It would be a comparative study. That's why I need your guidance, if possible.
Thanks. Obviously, I cannot explain it in comments. If you just watch my video on how to use theory and then read theory informed essays you will be able to use theory. There is no short cut to reading and practice.
@@masoodraja thanks for the reply. I've been studying narratology but always getting stuck whenever I try to pick up a research topic. I've been following your videos on narratology as well.
Great. My point is that these videos are just a beginning point. If you want to use narrative theory then read how others have used it and that would give you an idea of how to use it yourself.
Once i read a research paper published in a renowned local journal where a newspaper article authored by mohsin hamid was used as a critical tool...can we use newspaper articles as tool?
@@masoodraja Respected sir I want to say that initially what we have to do and under what heading and in how many different headings we will complete our work. eg 1. introduction 2.thesis statement like that sir. because I am still confused about the proper order of attempting that..
Okay. I think I explained that in a chronological order. But what you are asking is the structure of a paper. You should be able to find that in my longer videos on research. Anyway, I basically assume that people watching these know the basic mechanics of writing a paper.
@@masoodraja You are right sir but I am a doing my graduation from NUML Pakistan and totally unaware of the structure , if the structure is provided then I will collect data according to the given structure otherwise the collected information and data will arrange randomly
@Basith Iqbal I guess then NUML needs to do a better job of preparing you. It is kind of hard to reach writing in a video. Maybe some day I will record it.
Also, here is what comes up on Brave New World just on a google scholar search. You will also have to search the academic databases. That would give you an idea about whether or not what you are saying has previously been said or not: scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C44&q=brave+new+world+aldous+huxley&oq=brave+new+
I already replied. I am sorry I cannot be your supervisor. This is not how you get a supervisor. You have to talk to the professors at your own university and see who could be your supervisor.
I am sorry. I simply cannot take on individual students. It is, after all , the job of your professors. I have tried my best to offer as many resources as possible but individual mentoring is something I cannot do, as it will be unsustainable.

Sir, please guide more about literature review and other information regarding the research paper. Thank you!

Thank you so much 💕 please tell us about how to write comparative papers

Please watch this video. It offers and example of the use of structuralist theory: ruclips.net/video/hpRnXmp4p_s/видео.html
Could you do a video about writing a PhD proposal? You are very coherent and informative :) Thank you very much!
Thank you. I think there is already a video about how to choose a dissertation topic. Please search the channel for it.
Sir kindly send the link of your paper in which you applied the theory

Thank you. It’s been years since I read it. I will try when I have some time to reread it.
Thank You Sir for the valuable and informative videos. A request: Can You make and share a videos focusing on the Post 9/11 scenario and to link with post-colonialism

You should check out Dr. Uroosa Kanwal’s book on it. It should be available in Pakistan. Also, Cara Cilano has a good book on it. Please look them up.

Probably not as a theoretical tool, but you can certainly cite a newspaper article if you feel the need.

Sir please mention the steps in vertical order in suggestive way from hierarchical order.
