My first work focused on the literary difference between representation and adaptation of literary texts into films. I tried to explore the critical nuances that make the adapted version different from the original/source text; for example, I tried to see how music has played an important role in this regard. Music has its own appeal but why and how a director of the film is using such particular music to express his feelings after he had read the original literary piece is my basic interest of the paper. In my paper, I also showed how a producer tried to connect his feelings through his creative works to his viewers. That was my first work and quest for research.
Then I worked on the Canadian Indigenous director’s film, media and documentary work in terms of their resistance and sensation. There I focused on the Mohawk’s Oka Crisis situation and how this crisis shaped four generations in Kanesatake and Kahnawake place. Indigenous director’s shortcomings, story and theme choice, their vision, their way of description and how these features are different from the Western Way.
The next work I prepared is on the folk culture of ChittagonianMezban. It is about the food, culinary arts, history of Mezban, its past and the present representational differences, and of course about social gatherings and communication.

Current Research Projects
Recently I am reading Wole Soyinka’s play ‘Death and the King’s Horseman’, where he claimed ‘Colonial Factor is … a catalytic incident merely’. As I am going more in-depth, I realized that the impact of colonization can be understood through the experience of trauma and can study as a subject of trauma. Canadian Indigenous Literature also deals with colonial trauma and their memoir always shows the difference between the pre and the post-colonial period.
