“…jargon) that define the Other. The texts studied are approached under Bakhtin’s idea of ‘heteroglossia’, which is concerned with the ideologies inherent in the different subject positions and contexts that individual voices emerge (Park-Fuller, 1986: 2). Different contexts related to up-to-date events, often define these (Greek conservative-neoliberal) types, which are mediated by the three key subject positions identified by our analysis.…”

This article draws attention to one of the neglected aspects of trolling in current literature: its potential to stand as a form of cultural politics that may inform counter-hegemonic challenges to prevalent ideologies. Rather than merely perceiving trolling as a threat to normality or a proof of the internet’s dystopic character, we look at the ways that certain trolls employ the method of ‘subversive affirmation’ for effectively addressing current events, and to mock hegemonic ideological currents, lifestyles and contexts in Greece today. We argue that the trolls we study are positioned against the hegemonic neoliberal framework and its attempts to achieve consensus on the supposed necessity of austerity reforms and the maintenance of the euro currency, as well as against a prevailing conservativism and nationalism that blend with the broader neoliberal assemblage of discourses, policies and practices in Greek society. By developing a thematic analysis on selected Facebook trolls’ posts, we discuss the ways that trolls function politically, transgressing the limits of the hegemonic discourses and identities, as well as the norms of mediated dialogue, deliberation and critique. The key mechanisms deployed by the trolls are the overlapping practices of over-identification and humour. This article suggests seeing trolling as a form of cultural production that not only damages, but redirects desires, produces identifications and instils passionate investments in political ideologies.

“…The initial center voice disperses as a result. The initial viewpoint or voice shifts its attention to each object of attention, allowing us to hear the multitude of additional voices (Park-Fuller, 1986). Nair's deft use of shifting a limited third-person point of view provides access to the character's inner thoughts and feelings, fostering narrative empathy.…”

As it passes through various Indian states, assimilating people from various cultural backgrounds constantly, an Indian train is a place that truly embodies a transient cultural pattern. A passenger moves from the familiar to the strange in this liminal space in terms of geography, culture, language, cuisine, and psychological makeup. Indian Railways provides an insightful interpretation of cohabitation. Anita Nair, one of the finest authors in India, frequently uses "travel" as a significant theme in her novels to symbolize the characters' mental and physical journeys. In Ladies Coupe, the act of traveling is viewed as a confrontation with oneself and focuses on the lives of the five women in the transient space. By poetically narrating their journeys, Nair gives her female characters a life of their own, invoking a polyphonic framework within the transient space of the coupe. The Indian train, specifically the ladies coupe, is an example of Bakhtinian polyphony, where the conversations between passengers comprise multiple consciousness, including people of all ages and regions. As a result, this train travelogue includes five distinct voices, each with its own conscious design. The paper aims to examine the trope of the coupe using the Bakhtinian concept of polyphony, the impact of the "dead time" experienced during train travel and how the transitional space of the coupe helps Akhila attain self-discovery in Anita Nair's Ladies Coupe.

“…18 In one view, heteroglossia, or other-languagedness, refers to the ideologies inherent in the various social languages we partake in our daily lives, such as the language and the inherent ideologies in our professional worlds, age groups, the current decade in time; of our social class, geographical region, family, circle of friends, and so on. 19 More broadly, it can indicate conflicting discourses within any field of linguistic activity (e.g., a national language, a novel, or a specific conversation). Polyphony or many-voicedness refers to the collective quality of an individual utterance: by embodying other voices within itself, the utterance creates a dialogic relationship between differ-ent voices (the speaker's and the others').…”
