Globalisation And The Question Of Loyalty In Africa:A Philosophical Reflection, Femi R. Omotoyinbo

International Review of Humanities Studies

It highlights recent controversies surrounding the re-interpretation of the megalithic site of Gunung Padang in …

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the interaction patterns and culture of society. The pretext of limiting interactions as the key to handle COVID-19 certainly has various challenges in its implementation in society. Regulators have promulgated various global and national policies (in macro level). It is necessary to ascertain whether the policy can be conveyed and implemented correctly at the micro-level in the community, which has various social and cultural characters.

Rethinking The Humanities In The Context Of Intertexuality And Adaptations Within The Diasporic Construct, Saint E. T. Gbilekaa, Olympus G. Ejue Ph.D

International Review of Humanities Studies

Drastic socio/political and economic changes in the world have perhaps led to global mass migration, transcontinental transport or scattering of people away from their established or ancestral homeland. This obviously explains the vitality that has characterized the creative impetus of intertextuality and adaptation mechanics used by certain Nigerian diaspora dramatists over the years as group identity formation and social pattern of identity politics and cultural belonging in expressing universal human concerns. The question however is; has the adaptation of classical or historical plays to the dawn of modern play texts by Nigerian diaspora dramatists reinforced the Nigerian culture? The condition …
