https://ijels.com/Open Access international Journal to publish research paperen-usAugust 12 This research aimed to examines the novella The Word for World is Forest by Ursula K. Le Guin of 1972 using the dualistic approach of Val Plumwood on the ecofeminist logic of domination and Freya Mathews on autopoietic ecological theory. It assumes that the story anticipates ecological psychosis as the symptomatic future of colonial exploitation and gives a model of arboreal kinship based on mutual ecological awareness. The hierarchy between the two dualisms as criticized by Plumwood explains an anthropocentric, colonial stance of Captain Davidson, the Terran logging agenda, and the autopoietic model by Mathews offers a strict ontology concerning the relationship between Athsheans and their forest settings. Through a contrast between these views, the article shows how Le Guin dramatizes the dialectic between extractive domination and ecological reciprocity. This article will serve as a contribution to the current academic discussions on ecocriticism and speculative fiction in relation to environmental ethics, cultural survival, and the future of eco-relational futures. https://ijels.com/detail/val-plumwood-s-logic-of-domination-vs-freya-mathews-autopoietic-ecology-ecological-psychosis-and-arboreal-kinship-in-le-guin-s-the-word-for-world-is-forest/ Sarah Hadi Razzaq https://ijels.com/upload_document/issue_files/1IJELS-106202659-Val.pdf This paper offers an introduction to the changing image of Kalki, the prophesied final avatar of Vishnu, across Hindu tradition and modern media. It begins with the traditional mythological image of Kalki as a sword-wielding warrior who arrives at the end of the Kali Yuga to destroy evil and restore dharma. The paper then traces the evolution to modernity: humanization, appropriation, and hybridization. Kalki is no longer only a divine figure bound to scripture. Writers, filmmakers, and game designers now reshape him into a relatable hero, a symbol borrowed for new causes, and a character blended with other genres and ideas. The paper identifies several key trends in this shift. One is action-oriented heroic narratives, where Kalki appears as a warrior fighting clear villains in comics, films, and web series. Another is philosophical and rational lenses, where thinkers and writers treat Kalki less as a literal god and more as a metaphor for moral renewal or social change. A third trend is sci-fi and dystopian hybrids, seen in recent cinema and fiction that place Kalki in futuristic, post-apocalyptic worlds. A fourth trend is cultural and nationalistic resonance, where Kalki's image is used to express pride, identity, or political ideas. Together, these trends show how Kalki has moved into broader contemporary discourse, appearing in politics, pop culture, and online debate, not just religious texts. This connects to a larger question: how ancient stories continue to shape our worldviews today. The discussion section evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of retelling a sacred figure for contemporary audiences. The paper's conclusions argue that Kalki's many modern forms do not erase the original myth. Instead, they show how old stories stay alive by adapting to new times. https://ijels.com/detail/from-myth-to-modernity-the-evolving-image-of-kalki-in-contemporary-discourse/ Dr Divya Singh https://ijels.com/upload_document/issue_files/2IJELS-106202671-From.pdf https://ijels.com/detail/thermodynamics-of-the-soul-an-epic-of-spatial-hegemony-entropy-sensory-perception-and-cosmic-faith-in-robert-frost-s-stopping-by-woods-on-a-snowy-evening/ Prabhakar Kumar Awasthi https://ijels.com/upload_document/issue_files/3IJELS-106202666-Thermodynamics.pdf
