  • Kalaripayattu
    Kalaripayattu (pronunciation: ) or "Payattu" is an Indian martial art from the southern state of ancient Kerala.[1] One of the oldest fighting systems in existence,[2] it is now practiced in Kerala and contiguous parts of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka[citation needed] as well as northeastern Sri Lanka and among the Malayali community of Malaysia. It was originally practiced in northern and central parts of Kerala and the Tulunadu region of Karnataka.[3] Kalaripayattu includes strikes, kicks, grappling, preset forms, weaponry and healing methods.[3] Regional variants are classified according to geographical position in Kerala; these are the Northern style from Malabar region in north Kerala, the Central style from inner Kerala and the southern style from Travancore region of south Kerala. The southern Payattu system is now extinct and the Tamil style of "Adi Murai" is classified as the southern kalarippayattu by Kerala Kalarippayattu association. The northern style was practiced primarily by the Nairs and the Ezhava (Thiyya), the two communities primarily associated with the martial arts practice in Kerala.[4] [5] as well as some Mappilas and Saint Thomas Christians. The southern style, called Adi Murai, was practiced largely by theNadars and has features distinguishing it from its other regional counterparts.[6][7][8] Northern kalaripayattu is based on elegant and flexible movements, evasions, jumps and weapons training, while the southern "Adi Murai" style primarily follows the hard impact based techniques with priority in empty hand fighting and pressure point strikes. Both systems make use of internal and external concepts. Some of the flexibility training methods in northern Kalaripayattu are applied in Kerala dance forms[3] and kathakali dancers who knew martial artswere believed to be markedly better than the other performers.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: PLACE and CASTE IDENTIFICATION
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: PLACE AND CASTE IDENTIFICATION: DISTANCIATION AND SPATIAL IMAGINARIES ON A CASTE-BASED SOCIAL NETWORK. Jillet Sarah Sam, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Directed By: Professor George Ritzer, Sociology This thesis studies the potency of place in mobilizing social categories, and its implications for both social categories and places. I use the theory of distanciation to study associations between caste identity and place. I conducted an ethnographic study of a caste-based digital group, the Cyber Thiyyars of Malabar, to understand the connections and disconnections between the Thiyya caste and Malabar from the perspectives of different sets of actors involved in the identification of caste, namely the nation-state and members of this caste-based network. The nation-state knows the Thiyya caste in a manner that is disconnected from Malabar, while the Cyber Thiyyars of Malabar seek to re-emphasize the identification of this caste through the region. Participant observation and in-depth interviews indicate that through references to Malabar, the group seeks to establish a Thiyya caste identity that is distinct from the Ezhavas, a caste group within which the nation-state subsumes them. I demonstrate that references to Malabar serve to counter the stigma that the Cyber Thiyyars of Malabar experience when the spatially abstract categorization of the Thiyyas interacts with notions of caste inferiority/superiority. Further, it serves as a mobilizational tool through which they hope to negotiate with the nation-state for greater access to affirmative action. I also demonstrate that caste identification continues to be relevant to the production of place. Place-based identification of the Thiyyas influences the manner in which the group envisions the physical boundaries of Malabar and how other social groups can belong to this region.

  • Translating Text in Context Abstract Aithihyamala (1909)
    Aithihyamala: Translating Text in Context VRINDA VARMA Abstract Aithihyamala (1909) is a compilation of oral legends and folktales in Malayalam by Kottarathil Shankunni. A hundred years since its first publication, and many translations hence, re-translating it into English to suit the contemporary reader comes with its own share of challenges. Overcoming the barrier of archaic language was one thing as was the translation of cultural contexts and culture itself. But more demanding was the employment of a contemporary politically correct lens to the stories themselves, and exercising it in translation in such a manner that while the translation and the translator do remain invisible, the text is suitably modified in places so that blatant prejudices and partisanship inherent in the text do not overshadow the stories themselves. The paper discusses how the translator employed either domestication or foreignization and sometimes a combination of both in order to make sense of the canonical Malayalam text in English, and the rationale for employing each approach so as to make the text relevant and meaningful to the contemporary reader. Keywords: Folklore, Canon, Culture, Language, Domestication, Foreignization. Introduction The transmission and dissemination of what we understand as folk, has always depended on translation from the oral to the literary. As much as folklore is a necessary agent of culture, its translation is also equally necessary for culture formation, which as Berman (1992: 105) says, inducts readers into the “the experience of the alterity of the world.” For this experience of alterity perhaps, more than anything else, the DOI: 10.46623/tt/2021.15.1.ar3 Translation Today, Volume 15, Issue 1 Vrinda Varma Aithihyamala (1909)1 by Kottarathil Shankunni, first published more than a hundred years ago, still enjoys its cult place as canon even today and has had its share of translations.

In its early years, the curriculum included the study of Mathematics, History, and Geography, besides English, Malayalam, Sanskrit and Syriac. Since its inception, the College has been a torch bearer in the area of higher education, not only as a centre of ‘knowledge dissemination’ but also as a centre of ‘knowledge creation’. Rev.

He established the first printing press in the state in 1821 and designed the present round- shapedMalayalam font. He formulated the middle path Malayalam prose style which is the forerunner of modern Malayalam prose. He is also credited with bringing out the first dictionary in Malayalam, a bi-lingual Malayalam – English dictionary, titled ‘A Dictionary of High and Colloquial Malayalam and English’ in 1846. In 1857, when the University system started in India, the College was affiliated to the University of Madras. ‘The CotymCollege Quarterly’, the first college magazine in South India was published by the College in 1864. The college was later affiliated to Travancore University in 1937, then to Kerala University and finally to Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayamin 1983.
