  • SRUTI-India Carnatic Music,India Dance & Music Magazine
    SRUTI-India Carnatic Music,india dance & music magazine Internet Edition February & March 2001 India's premier music and dance magazine Home Editor's Note News & Notes (Continued) Spotlight Reproduced from Sruti 197 (February 2001). Brief Notes HOMAGE TO MAX MUELLER IN CHENNAI Main Feature PRESENTATIONS OF MUSIC, DANCE & DRAMA Back o' & Feedback Form Max Mueller Bhavan (German Cultural Institute) in Chennai organised a clutch of Sruti - Issue 197 cultural programmes and a seminar during 28-30 November 2000 to mark the death February 2001 centenary of Max Mueller, a great Indologist. Born in 1823, Mueller died when he was 77. Mueller is remembered for stimulating widespread interest in Indology, mythology, philosophy, comparative religion, linguistics and social criticism. The special cultural relations between India and Germany are largely attributed to his works. Mueller never visited India. But, had he come to India, he would likely have sought the company of musicians and scholars in the field of the performing arts, considering that he wanted to become a musician and belonged to a family that considered music and poetry a way of life. His first love was indeed music which he would have taken up as a profession but for the unfavourable climate for such a pursuit in his days. The famous Indologist is best known all over the world for the publication of the Sacred Books of the East (51 volumes), amongst several other works. He was an ardent promoter of Indian independence and cultural self-assertion. Max Mueller Bhavan, Chennai, entrusted Ludwig Pesch, a German who has spent years learning and studying Carnatic music, with the task of planning a befitting programme of tribute in Chennai in the wider context of a major German festival under way in India.

  • Mobilising for Water: Hydro-Politics of Rainwater Harvesting in Chennai, International Journal of Urban Sustainable Development, 3:1, 106-126
    Water politics in Chennai Draft – Do not cite without author consent Arabindoo, P. (2011). Mobilising for water: hydro-politics of rainwater harvesting in Chennai, International Journal of Urban Sustainable Development, 3:1, 106-126 Pushpa Arabindoo 1 29/07/2013 Water politics in Chennai Draft – Do not cite without author consent Mobilising for water: Hydro-politics of rainwater harvesting in Chennai Abstract In 2003-04, as the Indian city of Chennai faced an unprecedented water crisis, a debate ensued about finding longer-term sustainable solutions, ranging from expensive desalination plants to modest rainwater harvesting schemes. The latter was enforced by an authoritative state and promoted enthusiastically by environmentalists to raise awareness about the city’s much destroyed hydrological ecosystem. In contrast to the state’s interpretation reducing it to a compulsory hydraulic installation in individual buildings, environmental NGOs made a concerted effort to develop a more comprehensive intervention in the wider public domain. However, as a dizzying array of socio-political actors came together, concerns emerged about the ability of such a mobilisation to generate a uniform material understanding of rainwater harvesting as a common moral goal. Examining in detail one specific case study of a community- led effort—Puduvellam, this paper looks at how, as a grassroots organisation involved in the restoration of a prominent temple tank in southern Chennai, it rallied support amongst the local (mainly middle class) residents to create a new topology of ecological consciousness. Its success however was only partial and highlights the futility of romanticising rainwater harvesting as an indigenous alternative. More importantly and ironically, its ineffectiveness was enhanced by the crisis itself as it triggered a process of privatisation and commodification of water, with rainwater harvesting eventually being absorbed by the agenda of ‘bourgeois environmentalism’.

  • (Dr) Utpal K Banerjee
    About the Book IGNCA is a treasure-trove of cultural artifacts including a rich repository of Video documentaries (published) and Audio and Video DVDs (unpublished). This book – based on the author’s two-year project -- envisions an on-line A-V cultural archive KALASAMPADA that consists of A-V materials stored at IGNCA for the categories of: Interviews; Ritual Documentation; Archaeological Sites and Walk-through; Events; Festivals; Performances (music-dance-theatre-puppetry-mime); Lectures; Seminars; and Workshops. In order to make such a wide variety of materials available on-line – initially on the Intranet, subsequently on a potential Extranet, and eventually (although very selectively) on the Internet – the following digitisation road-map is observed in the project: Conversion of primary A-V materials from analogue to digital format; Creation of data sheets for metadata tagging, following the international standard of Dublin Core Metadata Element Set (DCMES); Integration of metadata with primary A-V material in IGNCA’s Intranet; Access and retrieval by “simple search” with keywords for casual browsers and “advanced search” for users, researchers and scholars with reference to groups of keywords from the intranet. The objectives of the project of on-line A-V cultural archive are: to bring it into public domain; to make it inter-active for scholars; and to make it internationally compatible. Basic advantages of such a project are really five-fold. First, a digital A-V archive assures the near permanent durability of the A-V material. Secondly, it allows need-based quality enhancement. Thirdly, an archive of this kind makes room for highly economic storage of vulnerable Audio and Video files.

  • Department of Sanskrit
    DEPARTMENT OF SANSKRIT Dr. K. I. Treesa Asst. Professor In Sanskrit PERFORMING ARTS • KOODIYATTAM • CHAKYAR KOOTHU • NANGIAR KOOTHU • KRISHNANATTAM KOODIYATTAM Koodiyattam, also transliterated as Kutiyattam, is a traditional performing artform in the state of Kerala, India. It is a combination of ancient Sanskrit theatre with elements of Koothu, a Malayalam performing art which is as old as Sangam era. It is officially recognised by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Koodiyattam (Kutiyattam), meaning "combined acting" in Malayalam, combines Sanskrit theatre performance with elements of traditional Koothu. It is traditionally performed in temple theatres known as Koothambalams. It is the only surviving art form that uses drama from ancient Sanskrit theatre. It has a documented history of a thousand years in Kerala, but its origins are unknown. Koodiyattam and Chakyar Koothu were among the dramatized dance worship services in the temples of ancient India, particularly Kerala. Both Koodiyattam and Chakyar Koothu originated from ancient south Indian artform Koothu which is mentioned several times in ancient Sangam literature, and the epigraphs of the subsequent Pallava, Pandiyan, Chera, and Chola periods. Inscriptions related to Koothu can be seen in temples at Tanjore, Tiruvidaimaruthur, Vedaranyam, Tiruvarur, and Omampuliyur. They were treated as an integral part of worship services, alongside the singing of Tevaram and Prabandam hymns. MIZHAVU Traditionally, the main musical instru ments used in Koodi yattam are mizhavu, kuzhitalam, edakka, k urumkuzhal, and sankhu. Mizhavu, the most prominent of these is a percussion instrument that is played by a person of the Ambalavas Nambiar caste, accom panied by Nangyaramma playing the kuzhithalam (a type of cymbal).

(Photo by Mundoli Narayanan) 136 Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/dram.2006.50.2.136 by guest on 02 October 2021 MTDR190_11311_ch08 4/26/06 3:30 PM Page 137 It is a moot point that the early work on the connections between ritual and performance, led by the groundbreaking work of Victor Turner, Arnold Van Gennep, and others, explored a very compelling area of study. By investigating such phenomena and features as “liminality,” “communitas,” and the passage from one state to the other, they not only uncovered the links between the two but were also able to throw light on such aspects of performance as theatrical framing, actor transformation, audience participation, actor-audience interaction, and so on. However, the unfortunate fact is that among the later adherents to ritual/performance studies, there has developed a tendency when it comes to studies of non-Western theatres—especially tradi- tional Asian theatres—to overemphasize the importance of ritual in performance. Sometimes this is done even to the exclusion of other aspects that are equally or more vital to the understanding of performance. This inclination has also led some to explain away many features of performance by interpreting them as rituals, while obviously ignoring their value as techniques or conventions of theatre. While the manifestations of this tendency toward over-ritualization can be seen in studies of a variety of Asian forms such as nohgaku, bunraku, and kagura of Japan, kathakali of India, Balinese dances, and others, the focus here is only on the studies of kutiyattam, from Kerala in southwestern India.

  • The Changing Contours of Women and Dance in India (A Historical Twilight on Tradition and Transition)
    2012 2nd International Conference on Social Science and Humanity IPEDR vol.31 (2012) © (2012) IACSIT Press, Singapore The Changing Contours of Women and Dance in India (A Historical Twilight on Tradition and Transition) ∗ Prabhu Kumari Vanama PG Dept of Historical Studies, Bharathi Women’s College, Chennai, India Abstract. A sweeping look at the magnificence of the Indian women through the forms, characteristics, challenges and changes occurred and are still occurring in traditional dance, forms the theoretical and pictorial substance of this study. At one level, it is a historical compendium of classical dance, an exploration of its’ moods and majesty, an ode to its sublime aesthetics and at another level, it is a stunning scholarly portrayal of a pluralistic society teeming with feminine cultural vitality. Keywords: Women, Bharathanatyam,, Kathak, Kuchipudi, Manipuri, Mohiniattam, Odissi. 1. Introduction According to Natyashastra or the treatise of Classical Dance “The Body should catch up to the tune, the hands must explain the meaning, the eyes must speak the emotion, and the feet must beat the time-measure” [1]. Bharatha’s Natyashastra which is popularly styled as Panchama Veda [2] speaks about 108 dance postures which constitute the basic structure of any classical dance and women whose mind as well as physic that is best suitable for this dance divine, naturally inclined towards dance from the inception of this universe. Women of India succeeded in developing an individual style which is a blend of the typical features of many Paramparas with the distinct stamp of their individuality. Basically, there are two types of dancing – Theatrical Dancing and then Social Dancing.
