The aim of our project, which is part of the international and interdisciplinary research group on Popular Seriality: Aesthetics and Practice, is to explore the intermedial aesthetics of serialized graphic novels in all their variations and transformations, and their different visual and narrative worlds.
Furthermore, we want to examine how and where graphic novels are positioned in the cultural landscape as well as the various forms of canonization processes they can undergo. By invoking new notions of belonging, citizenship and identity, and by recognizing new sites of cultural production, cosmopolitanism raises issues which demand to be investigated in cultural studies and, specifically, literary studies. Fictions produced by writers of Indian origin living in India or elsewhere discuss identity, cosmopolitanism, globalisation and nationalism from several perspectives.
Considering the historical, political and social background of Indian literatures in English, it seems a worthwhile undertaking to investigate a selection of texts in respect to the issues of cosmopolitanism and identity, as well as to the further thematic concerns these concepts imply.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman The men end up staying in Herland and living with the women for some time till they are expelled from the woman-defined society where sharing is a rule and violence is rare. Perkins Gilman tells us the story of a rather frail and sick wife who slowly goes mad, because of the overwhelming care of her husband.
The wife ends up joining her imagined woman friend living trapped behind the ornaments in the yellow wallpaper in her bedroom. Her utopia could be created in this world, but not in this system. The declaration starts with the statement "Men are equal to women The Nordic Research Group "Det nye hverdagsliv" created in Their utopia expressed in "The new everyday life", was a new social organisation of production and reproduction, taking the local resources as a starting point.
Instead of a gender-separated place, they wanted to create a "middle-level", between production and reproduction, in the society were men and women could co-operate with the every day chores. Will the women ever be free?
