  • Maya, Tradition and Modernity in Shaji Karun's Vaanaprastham
    Australian Folklore 25, 2010 67 Maya, Tradition and Modernity in Shaji Karun’s Vaanaprastham Julie Marsh ABSTRACT: The 1999 Indian/French film, Vaanaprastham (The Last Dancer), reflects the changing world of a South Indian community by depicting life episodes of a Kathakali dancer. Still engaged with traditional social mores and mythologies, the community struggles to absorb influences of modernity—altered expectations of the individual and of gender and caste relations. The story is mediated through the foundational philosophy of maya: that appearances are illusory. The multi-award winning Indian/French film Vaanaprastham1 is conspicuous for its use of themes based in Sanskritic philosophy and literary tradition, notable amongst which is the foundational concept of maya (the illusory quality of reality). As the role of maya has always been to give perspective on ‘reality’, Vaanaprastham places this essential question against the fracturing social changes of post independence India, where ideas of modernity and identity challenge traditional roles for culture and community. Established social and cultural modes—that of the Kathakali dancers enacting well-loved tales from the epic Mahabharata—are used to ponder the overlapping social and mythologised worlds. This conjunction is an important one, for it recognises the vexed place of myth and religion in the modern world, which defines itself, in part, by separating these ‘worlds’ into binaries of mythic versus real, religious versus secular.2 Vaanaprastham has been called ‘a deep meditation on fiction and reality’,3 for with its narrative built upon ideas of illusion and the conscious creation of realities, it enacts a quest to illuminate the complex that is identity.

    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 07, 2020 Socio-Cultural Transformation: A Study On Time By M.T.Vasudevan Nair Dr. Digvijay Pandya1, Ms. Devisri B2 1Associate Professor, Department of English, Lovely Professional University, Punjab, India. 2Doctoral Research Scholar, Department of English, Punjab, India. ABSTRACT: Kerala, the land is blessed with nature and its tradition. It has a copiously diverse vegetation beautiful landscape and climate. The land is also rich in its literature. M.T.Vasudevan Nair is one of the renowned figures in Malayalam literature who excels and portrays the traditional and cultural picture of Kerala society. Kaalam, published in 1969 is a lyrical novel in Malayalam literature by M.T.Vasudevan Nair and Gita Krishnan Kutty translates it into English as Time. This paper tries to analyse the sociological and cultural transformation of Kerala in the novel Time during the period of MT. It also focuses on the system of Marumakkathayam,joint family system and its transformation. Keywords: Sociological and Cultural transformation, Marumakkathayam, Joint family system, Tarawads. India is a multi-lingual country steeped in its rich culture and tradition. There are many such treasure troves of creativity in the regional languages that would have been lost to the rest of the world, but for its tradition, which is the only means to reach a wider group of reading public. Tradition helps to understand the thought process of the people of a particular region against the backdrop of socio-cultural roots. Malayalam is one of the multifaceted languages in India. Malayalam, the mother tongue of nearly thirty million Malayalis, ninety percent of whom living in Kerala state in the south – west corner of India, belongs to the Dravidian family of languages.

  • Malayalam Cinema from Politics to Poetics
    Malayalam Cinema from Politics to Poetics By Gönül Dönmez-Colin Spring 2007 Issue of KINEMA MALAYALAM CINEMA FROM POLITICS TO POETICS INDIA IS the leading producer of films in the world with over 1000 films per year. The tiny south- western state of Kerala where a language called Malayalam is spoken has surpassed West Bengal as a major centre of art films. Its most important filmmaker, Adoor Gopalakrishnan is hailed as the living Satyajit Ray. Since the beginning of the 1970s, with the strong film society movement supported by the literary traditions of the state, Malayalam cinema has excelled in politically engagé films with artistic inclinations. When the Golden Age of Tamil and Telugu movies ended, Kannada and Malayalam cinemas came to the fore. Although, they too had their share of stars, the director came to be recognized as the most important person behind a film. The ”new cinema” distinguished itself from the outset for its thematic excellence. Even themediocre films initiated by the early involvement of writers and leftist theatre personalities concerned themselves with social and political issues such as tribal emancipation, illiteracy, land distribution and trade unionism. A straightforward love story would have deeper allegorical layers evoking Fredric Jameson’s hypothesis that ”all third world texts are necessarily allegorical...the story of the private individual destiny is always an allegory of the embattled situation of the public third-world culture and society.”(1) The films of John Abraham, Adoor Gopalakrishnan, Govinda Aravindan, T.V. Chandran, M. P. Sukumaran Nair, Shaji Karun and several others are testimony to this hypothesis.

  • History of Indian Cinema.Pdf
    CHAPTER – 2 A BRIEF HISTORY OF INDIAN CINEMA Indian films are unquestionably the most –seen movies in the world. Not just talking about the billion- strong audiences in India itself, where 12 million people are said to go to the cinema every day, but of large audiences well beyond the Indian subcontinent and the Diaspora, in such unlikely places as Russia, China, the Middle East, the Far East Egypt, Turkey and Africa. People from very different cultural and social worlds have a great love for Indian popular cinema, and many have been Hindi Films fans for over fifty years. Indian cinema is world – famous for the staggering amount of films it produces: the number is constantly on the increase, and recent sources estimate that a total output of some 800 films a year are made in different cities including Madrass , Bangalore , Calcutta and Hyderabad . Of this astonishing number, those films made in Bombay, in a seamless blend of Hindi and Urdu, have the widest distribution within India and Internationally. The two sister languages are spoken in six northern states and understood by over 500 million people on the Indian sub – continent alone – reason enough for Hindi and Urdu to be chosen above the fourteen official Indian languages to become the languages of Indian Popular cinema when sound came to the Indian Silver screen in 1931 . Silent Era – The cinematographe (from where we have the name cinema) invented by the Lumiere brothers functioned better the Kinetoscope of Edison and Dickson.
