  • Artistic Directors
    Artistic Directors Chan Ka Nin Chan Ka Nin is a distinguished Canadian composer whose extensive repertoire draws on both East and West in its aesthetic outlook. Professor of Theory and Composition at the University of Toronto, he has written in most musical genres and received many national and international prizes, including two JUNO awards, the Jean A. Chalmers Award, the Béla Bartók International Composers' Competition in Hungary, and the Barlow International Competition in the United States. In 2001 he won the Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding Musical for his opera Iron Road, written with librettist Mark Brownell, depicting the nineteenth century construction of the Canadian National Railway by Chinese migrant labourers. Characteristically luminous in texture and exotic in instrumental colours, Prof. Chan's music has been described by critics as "sensuous," "haunting" and "intricate." The composer often draws his inspiration directly from his personal experiences: for example, the birth of one of his daughters, the death of his father, his spiritual quests, or his connection to nature and concern for the environment. Many prominent ensembles and soloists have performed his music, including the Toronto Symphony, National Arts Centre Orchestra, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Calgary Philharmonic, Nova Scotia Symphony, Esprit Orchestra, Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, Amici Ensemble, Gryphon Trio, Miró Quartet, St. Lawrence Quartet, Purcell Quartet, Amherst Saxophone Quartet, violist Rivka Golani, and oboist Lawrence Cherney. His substantial discography includes releases on the CBC, Centrediscs, ATMA, Analekta, Albany, and Summit labels, among others. Born and raised in Hong Kong, Mr. Chan holds twin undergraduate degrees in electrical engineering and music from the University of British Columbia, where he studied composition with Jean Coulthard.

Department of POLITICAL SCIENCE The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 ABSTRACT This study is rooted in a theoretical interest in the development of parties that appeal mainly to primordial ties. The claims of social relationships based on tribe, race, language or religion have the capacity to rival the civil order of the state for the loyalty of its citizens, thus threatening to undermine its political authority. This phenomenon is endemic to most Asian and African states. Most previous research has argued that political competition in such contexts encourages the formation of primordially based parties whose activities threaten the integrity of these states.

  • With a View to Locating Ancient Ports and Submerged Sites
    Onshore and Near Shore Explorations along the Southern Tamilnadu Coast: with a View to Locating Ancient Ports and Submerged Sites DR. A.S. GAUR AND DR. SUNDARESH Abstract Tamilnadu coast is dotted with several ancient ports. An onshore exploration was carried out along the southern Tamilnadu coast and located several medieval ports near Nagarcoil and in Rameswaram island which include Puttan Thurai, Mana Kudi and Ariyagundur. The survey was carried out at well-known ports at Korkoi, Alagankulam, Tranquebar and Poompuhar. Presently, Korkai and Alagankulam are located far hinterland while remaining ports are situated right on the coasts and partly submerged under the sea. The paper discusses the present state of art of the ancient port and possible causes of shoreline changes at various places on the Tamilnadu coast. Introduction The significant amount of work has been carried on ancient maritime activities of Tamilnadu, which is bordered by the Bay of Bengal sea from the east and India Ocean from the south. Entire Tamilnadu coast is dotted with several ancient ports (Fig. 1). One of the richest ancient literature, commonly known as Sangam literature preserved in Tamilnadu, gives an ample historical accounts on maritime trade and commerce prior to the Christian era. The Sangam literature mentions about colonies of foreign traders at Poompuhar which was one of the important ancient Chola capital port town. Greek merchants in Tamil India were known as Yavanas (Pillay, 1968:114). The refer- ences of Tamil literature are very well supported by archaeological excavations at number of coastal sites where a large number of Roman coins (Sewell, 1904) and other artifacts of Mediterranean origin have been discovered.

  • Coining Words Language and Politics in Late Colonial Tamilnadu
    CHAPTER 8 Coining Words Language and Politics in Late Colonial Tamilnadu Forming words with Sanskrit roots will certainly ruin the beauty and growth of the Tamil language and disfigure it; and is sure to inflame communal hatred. —E. M. Subramania Pillai to Government of Madras, Memorandum, 5 September 1941. Though a common terminology may be possible in Northern India where Hindustani and Sanskrit have mingled together very much and local lan- guages have been greatly modified by them, such a terminology would be unsuited to the Tamil area where Tamils have preserved the purity of their language. Words coined must have Tamil roots and suffixes to make them intelligible to the Tamils. —Memorandum submitted by the Committee of Educationists to the Government of Madras, 22 August 1941. Some months ago, there raged in the academic world, a controversy regard- ing the coining of technical terms. While some said that there should be no bar on borrowing terms from other languages to express new scientific disciplines, others argued that only pure Tamil terms should be used.... [This] has raged since the beginnings of the Tamil language. But, in earlier days, it was not conducted by opposite camps; there were no acrimonious polemics; there was nobody to say 'Our language is ruined by the admix- ture of other languages; we should have a Protection Brigade to safeguard our language' and so on. —S. Vaiyapuri Pillai, Sorkalai Virundu, Madras, 1956, p. 31 (originally published in Dinamani, 10 May 1947). Drawing on Raymond Williams' formulation in his classic Key- words, that 'important social and historical processes occur within language',1 this chapter seeks to explore the cultural politics 144 In Those Days There Was tio Coffee Coining Words 145 surrounding the coining of technical and scientific terms for Bharati's views are typical of the nationalist perspective, which pedagogic purposes in late colonial Tamilnadu.

He edited several political journals and enrolled as a member of the Dravider Kazhagam in 1935. As an ardent follower of Periyar E. V. Ramasamy, he rose in stature as a prominent member of the party. With differences looming with Periyar, on issues of separate independent state of Dravida Nadu and union with India, He crossed swords with his political mentor. The friction between the two finally erupted when Periyar married Maniammai, who was much younger than him.

    Case Study - Tamil University About the University: The Tamil University was established at Thanjavur, by the Government of Tamil Nadu on 15th September 1981 under the provision of the Tamil University Act No.9 of 1982, for furthering the advancement of learning and research in Tamil language, literature and culture. The University Grants Commission, New Delhi recognized the University on 11th June 1985. The idea of creating a separate University for Tamil language was mooted as early as 1925 by the learned scholars of Tamil society. This idea took a concrete shape only in 1981 under the leadership of the Hon’b1e Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Dr.M.G.Ramachandran. He announced at the Fifth World Tamil Conference held at Madurai, that a University, exclusively to promote the high level research in Tamilology would be set up at Thanjavur, as Thanjavur has been the epitome of art and culture for centuries together. Vision: • To analyze and identify the contribution of Tamil culture to the mosaic of Indian Culture • To reconstruct and revive the scientific thoughts, intellectual achievements and the outstanding industrial knowledge of the ancient Tamils for the use of the contemporary society. • To study the grammatical and linguistic theories of Tamil language. To study the structure of Tamil language and the potentiality of Tamil Language. To create modern methods for language teaching. Hurdles faced by the university: Getting employments for rural students. Difficult in handling and communicating with students in distance learning mode.
