Raghu Venkatachalaiah/139 POETRY COLUMN Rendezvous Autumn Shabnam Kaur/141 To Mam, With Love Nutan Garg/142 www.literaryvoice.in FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Literary Voice March 2019 is devoted to the emerging trends in the literature of Twenty-first Century. Literature is an ever evolving art and assumes a life of its own. The current trends in literature are not so far removed from what they used to be fifty and even a hundred years ago. In fact, what started as an important modern trend in the mid twentieth century British literature, partly due to Jean Rhys's work, is the inclusion of non-white voices, especially those from the former colonies. The trend persists in twenty-first century too in the works of Zadie Smith, Monica Ali, Andrea Levy, and the Jamaican writer Marlon James who write about what it means to be “British” and live with the legacies of slavery, racism, and colonialism. This hybridity also redefines their Britishness. Likewise the emergence of Partition literature in the wake of partition of British India in 1947, continues to engage the creative consciousness of writers in the present century as well. Globalization has erased many a discriminatory categorization in literature as much of contemporary literature, apart from Western authors, includes works by literary figures from the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. After the Second World War, postmodernism and deconstructionism had a significant influence on literature. A major change to come out of the former movement is a change in discourse. “The notion of the authoritative text went out the window (e.g., Jean- François Lyotard's idea of the "metanarrative"), and there was a new emphasis on hybridity, or the inclusion of two or more cultural influences on a text.” Deconstruction, led by the French philosopher Jacques Derrida, eliminated the notion that words have inherent meaning, an idea established by structuralism. It is not as if deconstruction/ poststructuralism, postcolonialism etc. have become irrelevant in present times. It is that the focus has shifted to the rise of 'post-theory,' environmental criticism, and gender/queer theory. With increasing globalization, intersections of cultures and more vocal discussions of women's rights and LGBT rights, identity has become a common theme in 21st century literature. Contemporary literature reflects current trends in life and culture and because these things change often, contemporary literature changes often as well as it questions facts, historical perspectives and often presents two contradictory arguments side by side. Well-defined, realistic, and highly developed characters are important in classifying a written work as contemporary, and most writing in this category feature stories that are more character driven than plot driven. Let us not forget the momentous events that marked the first twelve years of the new millennium--September 11, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, conflict in Sudan, Hurricane Katrina and a crippling world wide recession. Sporadic writings on one or all these events have appeared in the literature of varying national/ethnic denominations, though not distilled into the defining literature of the era. This can be seen in literature in a number of areas such as nonlinear plots, stream of consciousness writing, deconstructionist criticism, experimentations in a literary genre and with grammar, loss of dialogue tags, plots that do not resolve. The research articles in Literary Voice March 2019 showcase the new trends, thematic concerns and experimentations undertaken by the writers in various parts of the globe. Twenty-first century African-American fiction has re-oriented the spiritual quest of the blacks into new directions of futuristic world. Neither the race nor the in/visibility of black is outmoded, yet the African American creative imagination is capable to visualize new fictional-scapes wherein their utopian and dystopian vision plays in and out. 'Frankenstein' as a metaphor for the irresponsibility of science and scientists, persists in science fiction stories of how a future world could possibly be different if humanity continues on its current path in the present, and this kind of narrative usually has a setting in either a dystopia or utopia depending on the author's point of view. Though Nonfiction is usually not classified as literature, the present era sometimes includes works of creative nonfiction which tell a true story using literary techniques. Signs of a new trend about nonfiction as “creative art” in the Twenty-first Century, are evident in some of the autobiographies/biographies which are marked by growing creative sense, clarity and elegance, reminiscent of the masters of yore. Vishwajyoti Ghosh's graphic novel, Delhi Calm, initiates a new trend as well as adds to the critical mass of the discursive trend around the 1975 Emergency in India. Contemporary trends in Indian drama being written and staged, reflect issues of gender and alternate sexuality, patriarchy, feminism and Indian history and mythology. Women autobiographies in the present century signal a new trend in debunking essentialist notions associated with the genre of autobiography, and portray woman as an agent to trigger off powerful protest against the abuse of religious systems that undermine human dignity in women and subject them to physical abuse. Likewise, an emerging trend in the neoliberal subjectivity is discernible in the protagonist-centred post-millennial Indian English fiction and Indian cinema. Some of the persistent trends under focus in the current issue range from revisiting mythologies with a new vision and exploring the layers of meaning embedded in myths-to Environmental ethics-to Multiculturalism in national and transnational lands-to multiplicities of identities in LGBTQ literature-to transcendental vision of society grounded on the individual-to womanism-to marginalized literature as of Dalits, Tribals, diaspora, protest literature-to inspirational role of literature to inculcate patriotic zeal among the teens and draw them to the exotic life in olive green uniform which offers multiple vistas for personal and professional growth.

  • Mist: an Analytical Study Focusing on the Theme and Imagery of the Novel
    [ VOLUME 5 I ISSUE 3 I JULY– SEPT 2018] E ISSN 2348 –1269, PRINT ISSN 2349-5138 Mist: An Analytical Study Focusing on the Theme and Imagery of the Novel *Arya V. Unnithan Guest Lecturer, NSS College for Women, Karamana, Trivandrum, Kerala Received: May 23, 2018 Accepted: June 30, 2018 ABSTRACT Mist, the Malayalam novel is certainly a golden feather in M.T. Vasudevan Nair’s crown and is a brilliant work which has enhanced Malayalam literature’s fame across the world. This novel is truly different from M.T.’s other writings such as Randamuzham or its English translation titled Bhima. M.T. is a writer with wonderfulnarrative skills. In the novel, he combined his story- telling power with the technique of stream- of- consciousness and thereby provides readers, a brilliant reading experience. This paper attempts to analyse the novel, with special focus on its theme and imagery, thereby to point out how far the imagery and symbolism agrees with the theme of the novel. Keywords: analysis-theme-imagery-Vimala-theme of waiting- love and longing- death-stillness Introduction: Madath Thekkepaattu Vasudevan Nair, popularly known as M.T., is an Indian writer, screenplay writer and film director from the state of Kerala. He is a creative and gifted writer in modern Malayalam literature and is one of the masters of post-Independence Indian literature. He was born on 9 August 1933 in Kudallur, a village in the present day Pattambi Taluk in Palakkad district. He rose to fame at the age of 20, when he won the prize for the best short story in Malayalam at World Short Story Competition conducted by the New York Herald Tribune.

The life style of the 21st century people is very different; their attitude and culture have changed .This change of viewpoint is visible in every field of life including Film and television. Nowadays there are several realty shows capturing the attention of the people. The electronic media influence the mind of people. Different television programs target different categories of people .For example the cartoon programs target kids; the realty shows target youth. The points of view of the directors and audience are changing in the modern era. In earlier time, women had only a decorative role in the films. Their representation was merely for satisfying the needs of men. The roles of women were always under the norms and rules of the patriarchal society. They were most often presented on the screen as sexual objects .Here women were abused twice, first by the male character in the film and second, by the spectators. But now the scenario is different. The viewpoint of the directors as well as the audience has drastically changed .In this era the directors are courageous enough to make films with women as central characters.

  • Kavya Bharati
    KAVYA BHARATI TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL - I THE STUDY CENTRE FOR INDIAN LITERATURE IN ENGLISH AND TRANSLATION AMERICAN COLLEGE MADURAI Number 20 2008 Foreword 20:20 Twenty years ago the inaugural issue of Kavya Bharati had Meena Alexander as our mascot. “The Storm: a poem in five parts” was the lead poem in KB 1/1988. Meena Alexander is again with us to celebrate our 20th anniversary with yet another poem – “Landscape with Kurinji.” We deem ourselves lucky. The response to our request to celebrate sixty years of Indian poetry since Independence has been quite overwhelming. Because of certain limitations set on us by our printers, we are compelled to have our 20th anniversary special issue in two separate volumes. What you have before you is just the first part. Part II of the Twentieth anniversary special will have all the material that we could not accommodate in a single volume. So 20:20 it will be. Please have patience and wait for the second part. While we were busy putting together our 20th anniversary special, we received the shocking news of the death of Dr. Niranjan Mohanty, a regular contributor to Kavya Bharati. He passed away on 28th July 2008. We have in this volume his essay, “Indian Poetry in English: The context of canon, challenges and future directions.” Elsewhere on the pages of KB 20 you will find tributes to Niranjan Mohanty by Gopi Kottoor and Jaydeep Sarangi. Kavya Bharati joins them in mourning the loss of Niranjan Mohanty. We place on record our thanks to Ellis Ballard and T.

Abstract: Valmiki’s Ramayana and most other versions depict Ram as Lord Vishnu’s earthly incarnation. But, Amish in his “Scion of Ikshvaku” has completely humanised not merely Ram but also the environment in which he is born. Ayodhya is in shambles and is rife with court intrigues. Born to the displeasure of his own father, Dasharath, and disliked by both the elite and the masses of Ayodhya, Ram faces the hurt and humiliation stoically and yet wins over everyone’s hearts. He prepares himself for shouldering the responsibility that Guru Vasishtha predicts will ultimately fall on him. Amish exploits this milieu to provoke debate on current issues, ideologies, schools of thought and perspectives, challenges and dilemmas regarding political views, the role of the State, law, crime and punishment, the caste system, women’s empowerment and environmental conservation in a brilliant manoeuvre making it more relatable to contemporary times.
