Welcome
My name's Golnaz Mohammadi
I am a post-graduate English Literature student at the University of Padova, Italy, who simply loves to read and write about almost anything related to humanities. It has been a few years since I have realized the value of digital content creation and after taking a few courses and gaining some experience writing for a few employers I decided to go freelance and set up my own website. So, here I am, a content creator. I try to combine the concepts of humanities and storytelling and create content about literature, culture, art, books, movies, history, and more. I am also a certified EFL instructor and a translator. So far I have translated a few books from English into my mother tongue (Persian) and Published 3 short stories, again in Persian. My interests are diverse and I have a voracious appetite for learning new things. I hope I can offer you an enjoyable time on my blog.

The concept of multicultural identity in diaspora has gained momentum, particularly in the context of the immigrant experience. In this article, I am mainly going to focus on the immigrant experience and identity. But first things first! What is the meaning of “hybridity”? what does it exactly refer to? Cultural hybridity refers to the blending or merging of different cultural elements within individuals, communities, or societies. The term was coined by Homi Bhaba, an Indian scholar and critical theorist. Homi Bhabha’s theory of hybridity, as outlined in The Location of Culture, focuses on the “third space” created when two different
How Relationships Have Evolved with the Advent of the Internet, A Cinematic Exploration: Here’s the Answer You Are Looking for!
The advent of the internet has revolutionized many aspects of our lives, particularly how we form, maintain, and understand relationships. The transition from traditional communication methods to digital platforms has had profound effects on our social interactions. To better illustrate these changes, I would like to turn to popular culture, where films often reflect and shape our perceptions of societal shifts. Three films that poignantly capture the evolution of relationships in the internet age are You’ve Got Mail (1998), The Social Network (2010), and Her (2013). Each of these movies provides a unique lens through which we can examine the changing dynamics of love in the digital age and the overall impact of the Internet on relationships.
