The Editorial Board cannot be held responsible for the views expressed by the writers Editor’s note The year 2013 turns out to be an year of extreme happiness and pride for all Keralites as the Union Cabinet has elevated Malayalam to the status of Shreshtabhaasha, the classical language. Malayalam has thus become the fifth classical language in India, the others being Sanskrit, Tamil, Kannada and Telugu. Malayalam language has a continuous history of more than 2000 years. It belongs to the family of Dravidian languages with a treasury of ancient and modern literary works of high standard. Malayalam is the mother of the world famous visual arts like Kutiyattam and Kathakali. It is in Malayalam that Kautalya’s Arthasastra got its elaborate interpretation and translation after its composition in Sanskrit language. Malayalam has a rich and varied literary tradition , and one of the proposed aims of Malayalam Literary Survey is to introduce it to the non-Keralites by means of translations and critical / cultural studies. Kerala Sahitya Akademi is happy to bring out this edition of Malayalam Literary Survey in 2013. We admit that ,due to reasons beyond our control, the publication of this journal had been delayed quite a lot. Now that the difficulties have been overcome, every effort will be taken to bring out the journal at regular intervals. We hope Malayalam Literary Survey will offer you a platform for discussions , deliberations and fruitful research. R. Gopalakrishnan Secretary & Editor Contents The Politics of the Word 7 Dr. A.M.

M. Sreedharan he word is without bounds. This ability of the word to T generate a host of meanings is what makes it immortal and eternal. Words, which originate from the alphabet, are characterized by constant movement. The identity of the word is characterized by its ability to evolve. For this very reason the executional power of the word should be considered on the basis of how dependent it is on the twin aspects of ‘doing’ and ‘making’. It gains a multi temporal, multinational dimension through its movement from the singular to the plural and vice versa. It is this ability of the word that has given it the status of suggestion (dhvani), deviant utterance (vakrokti) and the like. All that involves execution or implementation is dependent on the ‘cathartic’ mode. Aristotle’s main attempt too was to discover how the word, as a tool for implementation, takes on a therapeutic role. The view that the word acquires different kinds of ‘life’ in different people and that it has a vital social role becomes relevant.1 The word has three levels – sound, meaning and perception. It is when it moves from the level of sound (representing the worldly) and meaning (representing the emotive) to that of the sensuous that its historical and social status become safe and secure. Man attains a kind of happiness when, through the power of his imagination, he is able to view a more comfortable world, other than the one in which he lives. This is based on a certain unique character that is inherent in man, and is what accounts for his poetic imagination. Such new types of creativity manifest themselves in poetry in two different ways – by revealing an obvious affinity to the empirical world, as well as by revealing a totally new world which is quite distanced from the former. In a certain sense, it can even be MALAYALAM LITERARY SURVEY 7 maintained that it is the poet’s romantic relevance of such a view which is limited only faculty that characterizes the first and his to sound and sense has already been imaginative faculty that marks the second. discussed.3 At its most basic level, the word Both are founded on the structural does not create any disturbance in the reader compactness and discrete selection of – to him, it is just a quirk of creation.

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.

  • The Making of Modern Malayalam Prose and Fiction: Translations from European Languages Into Malayalam in the First Half of the Twentieth Century
    The Making of Modern Malayalam Prose and Fiction: Translations from European Languages into Malayalam in the First Half of the Twentieth Century K.M. Sherrif Abstract Translations from European languages have played a crucial role in the evolution of Malayalam prose and fiction in the first half of the Twentieth Century. Many of them are directly linked to the socio- political movements in Kerala which have been collectively designated ‘Kerala’s Renaissance.’ The nature of the translated texts reveal the operation of ideological and aesthetic filters in the interface between literatures, while the overwhelming presence of secondary translations indicate the hegemonic status of English as a receptor language. The translations never occupied a central position in the Malayalam literature and served mostly as mere literary and political stimulants. Keywords: Translation - evolution of genres, canon - political intervention The role of translation in the development of languages and literatures has been extensively discussed by translation scholars in the West during the last quarter of a century. The proliferation of diachronic translation studies that accompanied the revolutionary breakthroughs in translation theory in the mid-Eighties of the Twentieth Century resulted in the extensive mapping of the intervention of translation in the development of discourses and shifts of ideological paradigms in cultures, in the development of genres and the construction and disruption of the canon in literatures and in altering the idiomatic and structural paradigms of languages. One of the most detailed studies in the area was made by Andre Lefevere (1988, pp 75-114) Lefevere showed with convincing 118 Translation Today K.M.

  • Research Scholar an International Refereed E-Journal of Literary Explorations
    ISSN 2320 – 6101 Research Scholar www.researchscholar.co.in An International Refereed e-Journal of Literary Explorations ASSERTING LOCAL TEXTURE THROUGH SOCIAL NETWORKING Surya Kiran Ph.D. Scholar Department of English University of Hyderabad, (A.P.) Ngugi Wa Thiong’O in his famous essay “The Language of African Literature” has pointed out the adverse impacts of the colonizers language and culture on that of the colonized. After the withdrawal of the colonizers from the land, not many people preferred to preserve and develop the ancestral language and impart it to the next generation. Instead, the colonizers language takes over and mastering the foreigner’s language had by then been established as the key to climbing the charts of social status. This resulted in the development of a “look down up on” attitude towards the regional literatures. This phenomenon is found more in South India, Kerala in particular where English learning has taken importance over Malayalam. The importance given to Dan Brown or J.K. Rowling over Vaikkom Muhammad Basheer or Thakazhi Shivashankara Pillai is not the real concern here, but the fact that there are no many writers in the present day scenario who manage to get past the overwhelming influence of foreign writers using the flavour of regional literature. Globalisation which had brought the English language so close to ordinary people through internet played a crucial role in this development.
