Post-Truth Paradoxes: Emotional Quantum Theory and the Hauntological Ethics of Dialogic Fragmentation in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Vikas Sharma's Fiction

Abstract

Aim: This research aims to explore the post-truth paradoxes in the works of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Vikas Sharma, focusing on the uncharted terrains of Emotional Quantum Theory, where feelings and truths exist in states of flux—dynamic, uncertain, and layered. In an era dominated by subjective interpretations and the erosion of objective truth, how do fictional narratives navigate the intricate interplay between emotions, fragmented dialogues, and suppressed realities?

Methodology and Approaches: This paper applies emotional quantum theory and hauntological ethics to analyze dialogic fragmentation in a post-truth context.

Outcome: It reveals how their novels' dialogic fragmentation leaves readers wondering about the coherence of meaning by reflecting the shattered realities of a post-truth world.

Conclusion and Suggestions: This paper concludes these major questions -What occurs when feelings remain unresolved spectres in the story? In what ways do subtextual conversations reintroduce concealed truths to subvert conventional wisdom? Based on the idea of hauntological ethics, this research explores how the characters' lives and relationships are shaped by lingering moral and emotional quandaries, offering a more profound commentary on the fallibility of truth and the human condition. This study aims to explore how fiction functions as a reflection and critique of the post-truth period by combining viewpoints from postmodernism, affect theory, and hauntology.
