These films actualize region as a cinematic imaginary through its authenticity markers – caste/ist practices explicitly, which earlier films constructed as a ‘trope’. The paper uses the concept of Heterotopias to analyse the recurrence of spectacle spaces in the construction of Madurai, and the production of caste in contemporary films. In this pursuit, it interrogates the implications of such spatial discourses. Spectacle spaces: Production of caste in recent Tamil films To foreground the study of caste in Tamil films and to link it with the rise of ‘caste- gestapo’ networks that execute honour killings and murders as a reaction to ‘inter-caste love dramas’ in Tamil Nadu,1 let me narrate a political incident that occurred in Tamil Nadu – that of the formation of a socio-political movement against Dalit assertion in December 2012.

  • Deconstructing Masculinities in Sibi Malayil's Devadoothan
    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. 7. Issue.2. 2020 (Apr-June) GENDERING CINEMATIC SUCCESS: DECONSTRUCTING MASCULINITIES IN SIBI MALAYIL’S DEVADOOTHAN (2000) ARYA M. P.1, Dr. BETSY PAUL C.2 1,2Postgraduate Department of English St. Aloysius College, Elthuruth, Thrissur, Kerala, India ABSTRACT Though the representation of women in Malayalam cinema has been under constant theoretical scrutiny, their male counterparts have not been endowed with much attention. Masculinities, being an offshoot of feminist theoretical undertakings, have proved to be a profound area of research that has brought forth innovative perspectives of understanding the men on (and off) screen. This research paper is an Article information Received:07/04/2020 attempt to read the nature of masculinities portrayed in the fantasy musical Accepted: 27/04/2020 Malayalam film Devadoothan (2000) to study the influence that the gendering process Published online: 30/04/2020 has in deciding the success of a film. The theoretical framework is informed by the doi: 10.33329/ijelr.7.2.40 defining theories of hegemonic masculinity suggested by Raewyn Connell and the theory of the abject given by Julia Kristeva. The major findings of the paper suggest how ideal masculinity is ideologically constructed and accepted as the norm depending on a given cultural context, and any deviation from the norm has existence only in relation with it. Devadoothan exemplifies the negative impact that the dominance of deviant masculinity may induce in defining the success of a film.
