Contemporary Malayalam cinema however, is praised for its‘new generation cinema’ wave, which ha sapparently shed both its fetish over rustic settings, anti-political undertones and patriarchal violence, to embrace an urban, post-political life of the supposed ‘new generation’ Malayalees. Such cinemas however, continue remain within the monochrome panorama of the old generation which refused to acknowledge the social other and continued to position the dark-skinned, short statured, plump bodies as a site of violence and humour where the physical body plays a part in the politics of subaltern subjugation. The indirect implication of course being that such bodies are not suited for a civil society, who remain incongruent with the realities of the modern spaces by either being violent and antagonistic or comic and out of place. The paper aims to broadly define and delineate the practices of casteism and visual untouchability being practiced in Malayalam visual media. -

Gender and Cinema: an Eco Feminist Reading of South Indian Film Songs
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE, LITERATURE AND TRANSLATION STUDIES (IJELR) A QUARTERLY, INDEXED, REFEREED AND PEER REVIEWED OPEN ACCESS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL http://www.ijelr.in (Impact Factor : 5.9745 (ICI) KY PUBLICATIONS RESEARCH ARTICLE ARTICLE Vol.6.Issue.1.2019 (Jan-March) GENDER AND CINEMA: AN ECO FEMINIST READING OF SOUTH INDIAN FILM SONGS CHRISTINA MARY GEORGY M A English Language and Literature, Institute of English, University of Kerala, Trivandrum, Kerala, India doi: https://doi.org/10.33329/ijelr.6119.67 ABSTRACT Audio-visual media have simultaneously constructed and deconstructed patriarchy’s historical domination over women and the environment. To consider how gender and nature operate as social constructs in subverting the ‘androcentric’ approach of environmentalism, ecofeminism rests on the belief that environment is a feminist issue. The paper attempts an ecofeminist reading of select South Indian film songs. The songs of one representative film, released post 2015, from the three major South Indian film industries are chosen for analysis. The movies selected include: Baahubali: The Beginning (Telugu, 2015), I (Tamil, 2015) and Pulimurugan (Malayalam, 2016) among others. The study observes the manner in which the environment is portrayed on screen, the intricate relationship between woman and nature, their commodification and objectification, and the visual impact it has on the audience, among other aspects, with prime importance to the scenes, settings andcinematography of the film songs. The lyrics are not much under consideration. Key words: cinema, commodification, ecofeminism, hypermasculinity, gender, objectification, scopophilia Introduction Cinema, a powerful mirror to the contemporary society, derives its sustenance, ideas and imaginations from its surroundings. -
