  • 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.

    NavaJyoti, International Journal of Multi-Disciplinary Research Volume 1, Issue 1, August 2016 Resisting Discriminations: An Analysis of Selected works from Contemporary Malayalam Dalit Poetry Reshma K 1 Assistant Professor, Dept. of English, St. Aloysius College, Elthuruth, India ABSTRACT Dalit Sahitya has a voice of anguish and anger. It protests against social injustice, inequality, cruelty and economic exploitation based on caste and class. The primary motive of Dalit literature, especially poetry, is the liberation of Dalits. This paper focuses on contemporary Dalit poets in Malayalam, Raghavan Atholi, S. Joseph and G. Sashi Madhuraveli, who use their poetry to resist, in a variety of ways their continuing marginalization and discrimination. The poems are a bitter comment on predicament of the Dalits who still live in poverty, hunger, the problems of their colour, race, social status and their names. Keywords: Dalit poetry, resistance, contemporary Malayalam poetry, contemporary Dalit literature Dalit is described as members of scheduled castes and tribes, neo-Buddhists, the working people, landless and poor peasants, women and all those who are exploited politically, economically and in the name of religion (Omvedt 72). B. R. Ambedkar was one of the first leaders who strived for these counter hegemonic groups. He was the first Dalit to obtain a college education in India. All his struggles helped Dalits to come forward. He raised his voice to eradicate untouchability, caste discrimination, non-class type oppressions and women oppressions. All these ‘Ambedkarite’ thoughts formed a hope for the oppressed classes. These counter hegemonic groups resist through literature. Sentiments, hankers and the struggles of the suppressed is portrayed in Dalit literature.

  • Literary Tourism ’ Is a Noble Concept of Niche Tourism Wherein Discerned Travelers Visit Places Or Specific Locations Related to Literature
    ‘Literary tourism ’ is a noble concept of niche tourism wherein discerned travelers visit places or specific locations related to literature. According to Richard Butler, this can include visiting the residences of living and dead authors and literary giants as well as real and mythical places and locations associated with the characters and events in various popular works and fictions.This form of tourism is an alternative form of tourism and attracts those tourists who are interested in paying a visit to the places mentioned above. In the post covid era, Literary tourism can be seen as an alternate niche sector that can bring in tourists to offbeat, pristine and less crowded destinations thus relieving pressure on the visitor management of popular mass tourism destinations. This concept also revolves around storytelling and interpretation playing a greater role in the delivery of the tourism product Malabar region of Kerala lies predominantly tucked away from main tourism circuit of the state and is a virtually pristine landscape that offer a number of natural and cultural tourism products. With its colorful myths, art forms and traditions Malabar offer some good possibilities for Literary tourism. The circuit will be spread in Kozhikode, Malappuram and Palakkad districts with the region around River Bharathapuzha having lot of potential. Sri.

M.Phil Research Scholar Nirmala College for Women Coimbatore. Abstract Kerala is the land blessed by nature with all its boons in abundance. The traditional culture of the state bears testimony to the ecological argument that the culture develops from the natural landscapes. The ecologically viable aspects of the civilization are manifest in the rich and glorious literary tradition of Malayalam which is distinctly marked by silver streaks of ecosensibility. M.T.Vasudevan Nair, one of the dominant figures on the cultural scenario of Kerala is true heir to the cultural and literary traditions of the land. This paper analyses M.T.Vasudevan Nair’s Mist (Manju) from an ecofeministic perspective. M.T. has successfully lifted the landscape onto his canvas with the life-like portrait of the woman protagonist- Vimala, in the novel. The landscape and the weather operate as pervading symbolic presence in Mist, which imparts solemnity and intensity to the human drama. Keywords: Ecosensibility, ecofeminism, landscape.
