Title "Paracolonialism and Emotive Perspective: A Study of the Judgment of Value in Farah Bashir’s Rumours of Spring and Feroze Rather’s the night of Broken Glass"

Author(s) Irum Shahzadi

Abstract This research has focused on the critique of Kashmiri fictional narratives in the light of the emotive perspective presented by A. J. Ayer and Charles Stevenson regarding emotional judgment and values of propositions (statements/utterances) in a cultural setting or narratives. The research has formulated a thesis of the Kashmir narratives of Farah Bashir’s Rumours of Spring, and Feroz Rather’s The Night of Broken Glass, through the propositions in the light of categories devised by Ayer. It has analyzed them with reference to impact on emotional meanings of the speakers and hearers as given by Stevenson. The research has also highlighted the occurrences of these propositions under paracolonialism as propounded by Goudie as its necessary precondition. The research has gone to conclude the impacts of the belief system on the native ethical framework and the consequences as given by Charles Stevenson in his interpretation and presentation of emotive perspective. This research has not only provided a springboard to explore the ethical framework of paracolonial victims, it has also furthered the idea of studying and analyzing the pracolonisers response in the value of judgments.
