Queer Theory
Students,now a days, are more inquisitive, and interested in research,which is, no doubt, a plus point of the era.Those students,who are of English and Bengali literature,they, undoubtedly, should research in both qualitative and quantitative arena.Where qualitative research only focuses on the interplay between theoretical based applications and textual analysis ; quantitative research focuses on mathematical models.The attempt of integrating both qualitative and quantitative methods in literature is continuing, which will bring about a revolutionary initiatives in literature.
The literary theories, like colonialism, post colonialism, formalism,structuralism,feminism,
neo-classicism,romanticism,marxism,new historicism, deconstruction, eco-criticism,and cultural studies aren't fit to be mingled for both qualitative and quantitative research, but there is a massive opportunity for blending qualitative and quantitative research in literature in the arena of gender studies, queer theory, psychological theory or criticism.
Gender diversities, gender fluidity and flexibility based concepts are derived from the western world, which influences have fallen down the rest of the societies of the world, more or less.
In particular,if Shakespeare's Macbeth is analysed from queer lens,gender fluidity and gender diversities based characters are derived, which can be compared with real world characters. Suppose, if the preparation of doing survey is taken upon this kind of the targeted people of the small territory of Tripura in India, the diverse characteristics of the folks' gender fluidity and gender binaries /diversities will be got because the practical application of queer theory with real world is entirely compatible,which is why the integration of both qualitative and quantitative research in literature is possible.
(But, in this case, it will keep in mind, particular area must be selected where gender fluidity possessed figures stay. It will also keep in mind, the costs of research(monetary support mechanism); the target people; the cost of interviews; organisational materials of interviews. In the roundabout way, data can be collected through google forms and distributing them via mail, in this case, educated gender fluidity possessed figures must be selected as the targeted people.)
The way Shakespeare has portrayed gender fluidity possessed imaginative figures in his composed Macbeth, in the real world this gender fluidity possessed figures exist, which is why the far reaching research should conduct to integrate qualitative and quantitative into oneness.
Notably, through the lens modern medical science, the imaginative figures (in Macbeth) and the lively entity (targeted group of gender fluidity) are the sufferers of Androgen insensitivity syndrome, which is why they are considered as marginalized people in their own societal system and bereft of necessary basic rights for their survivals.
During Shakespeare's time,modern medical science was not existed, but in the today’s modern scientific world, people aren't cautious, which is why this marginalized group of people are to face abomination.It is a matter of great regret that, modern society has absorbed many modernistic elements as its own, but not excluding superstitious, backdated elements.Likewise, modern people absorb modernity superficially, not accepting its brightness.
Where advanced medical science is ready to give its services to modern people, the alienation of modern people from it causes marginalized class distinction.
Last but not least, queer theory examines about gender studies, marginalized gender possessed figures, modern societal structure and marginalized class distinction, and finally suggests to study about Endocrinology.
