In Our Translated World brings together for the first time, in a Tamil-English bilingual edition, poems written in Tamil from around the world. Since modernity shapes contemporary perspectives in important ways, the struggle between modernity and tradition looms large in this volume. Taken together, these poems offer an exciting and insightful representation of the contemporary global Tamil experience. The rewards of editor Kanaganayakam’s cosmopolitan approach are richly evident in this text, midwifed into being by translators Anushiya Ramaswamy, Maithili Thayanithy and M.L. Thangappa. Anthologies and translations enlarge the availability of good poets and poems. Kanaganayakam’s fine compilation accomplishes this aim. –George Elliott Clarke, The Chronicle Herald. “Never before has an anthology of Tamil poetry in translation offered such a broad perspective, and no other book to date demonstrates so well the fact that over the past two decades Tamil literature has become a truly global affair. The many voices presented here – women and men, young and old, Hindu, Muslim, and Christian – could not be more different, but they find themselves united in their attachment and commitment to Tamil and to poetry. Through the thoughtful translations in this volume we can eavesdrop on a literary conversation that spans the globe in order to learn how living in a translated world has been and might continue to be possible.” –Sascha Ebeling, Associate Professor of Tamil and South Indian Studies, The University of Chicago.

Professor Chelva Kanaganayakam passes away. [TamilNet, Sunday, 23 November 2014, 10:24 GMT] Professor Chelva Kanaganayakam, an Eezham Tamil academic who held the rare distinction of being the professor of English in a reputed university of a native English-speaking country, Canada, passed away in Montreal on Sunday. He was Professor of English at the University of Toronto. Recently he has been awarded the highest literary recognition of the country, Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. A function was held at Montreal related to the award. After attending the function, and while on his way to dinner that followed the function, he suffered a massive heart attack. He was 62. Professor Kanaganayakam’s father, Professor Chelvanayagam was a distinguished Tamil scholar at the University of Peradeniya in the 1960s. Kanaganayakam was Lecturer in English at the University of Jaffna in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Since 2005 he has been organising the annual Tamil Studies Conference at the University of Totonto, which was first of its kind in the North American continent. He was providing silent leadership to the Tamil literary and academic world in Canada. Professor Kanakanayakam was also the Director of the Centre for South Asian Studies at the University of Toronto. Graduated at the University of Peradeniya, he got his Ph.D from the University of British Columbia. Earlier this month, University of Toronto congratulated him on becoming a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Some of his notable publications are: In Our Translated World: Contemporary Global Tamil Poetry (2013); Counterrealism and Indo- Anglian Fiction (2002); Ed. Lutesong and Lament: Tamil Writing from Sri Lanka (2001); Dark Antonyms and Paradise: The Poetry of Rienzi Crusz (1997);Configurations of Exile: South Asian Writers and Their World (1995); Structures of Negation: The Writings of Zulfikar Ghose (1993); articles on B.S. Johnson, Achebe, Narayan, Rushie, Ondaatje, Desai. In 2009, Kanaganayakam translated and edited the poems of three Eezham Tamil poets, Puthuvai Rathnadurai, VIS Jayapalan and R. Cheran. Of them, Puthuvai Rathnadurai, who was living in Vanni during the war, was last seen among the people herded to the barbed-wire camps. He was taken into custody by the SL military and was missing since then. Professor Kanaganayakam’s field of research was Postcolonial Literature. He was lately researching on Contemporary Indian Literature and on South East Asian writing. Lutesong and Lament by Chelva Kanaganayakam. Hooray!

    EVOLVING A NEW IDIOM TO EXPRESS TAMIL LIFE THROUGH TRANSLATIONS: AN ACHIEVABLE TASK OR IMPOSSIBILITY? Kandiah Shriganeshan English Language Teaching Centre, University of Jaffna, Sri Lanka [email protected] ABSTRACT: Critics have spoken of an innovative idiom to express Sri Lankan experience in English but intelligibility is a further problem faced by international readers. There are two factors that need to be considered. One is that native and traditional metaphors may not be able to express modern life. On the other hand the range of experiences and problems faced by all Sri Lankans could not be expressed by the English educated elite. Therefore achieving our goal of writing good poetry which expresses a truly Sri Lankan experience in an internationally understandable and effective medium may be made practicable through translations. They would be able to express their variety of experiences fusing modern, western and local imagery in the new idiom understandable to an international audience. Having stated the focal point, the present paper makes an attempt to look into the poems translated into English from Tamil selected from the writings of the poets living in Sri Lanka, though there are Tamil poems translated into English from India, Singapore, Malaysia and the Diaspora in Europe, Canada and Australia. The study focuses on the possibility of evolving a new idiom to express Sri Lankan Tamil life in English. Keywords: Intelligible Idiom, Tamil Experience, Spoken Rhythm, Effective Medium 1. INTRODUCTION When English medium education ceased to exist in Sri Lanka in the 1960s Godfrey Goonetilleke surveyed negatively the possibility of writing creatively in English (Jayasuriya 1994:36).

  • The Range of Essays in Asia and the Historical Imagination Is As Wide-­ Ranging in Subject Interests As in Perspectives
    CODA The range of essays in Asia and the Historical Imagination is as wide-­ ranging in subject interests as in perspectives. Even though they only begin to scratch the surface of other modes of inquiry that can be applied to the study of historical fiction, their authors’ introspection has raised important observations about what more can be done, both in terms of cross-inter- disciplinary approaches to research and teaching, and in terms of the more theoretical and practical limitations scholars face in rethinking the links between historical inquiry and the study of literature. The editorial limita- tions of this volume have, in part, already responded to this issue. Asia and the Historical Imagination is itself an ambitious title; geographically, Asia is the largest and most populous of the seven continents; culturally, it is arguably the most diverse. This modest volume, which covers only eight countries and their multicultural peoples, is only a small sample of what the Asian continent represents. Nonetheless, by responding to this volume’s scaled-down vision of Asia, the contributors have also addressed concerns about the academic community’s vulnerability in simplifying historical nar- ratives in this part of the world. In noting the shared histories of colonial and anti-colonial experiences in many Asian countries, Wang Gungwu cau- tioned that colonial powers like the British, Dutch, and French all had very different ideas of nationhood: “Under the circumstances, attempts to find common ground for Southeast Asian nations were limited to broad gener- alizations about overcoming colonialism and building nation-states on more or less Western models,” and more importantly, “[w]henever the © The Author(s) 2018 201 J.

  • Translated Worlds: Passages, Journeys, and Returns1
    Postcolonial Text, Vol 10, No 3 & 4 (2015) Translated Worlds: Passages, Journeys, and Returns1 Chandrima Chakraborty, Guest Editor McMaster University, Canada Anupama Mohan Presidency University, Kolkata, India I Passages Our introduction takes its title from Chelva Kanaganayakam’s unpublished essay, “Passages, Journeys, and Returns: A Poetics for South Asian Travel Writing,” that was presented first as a talk at the University of Delhi in 2007. In it, Chelva makes an interesting move that only a scholar with his special expertise could; he argues: In general terms, it has been maintained that the genre of travel writing belongs largely to the West, although the notion of a journey is equally prevalent elsewhere. ... Certainly literary histories in India do not often draw attention to this genre, and while there is considerable evidence to the constant movement with India and to neighbouring lands, the genre itself has not flourished. At the same time, it is possible to see in the creative literature constant references to travel, both literal and mythical. The two epics—the Mahabharata and the Ramayana—are themselves about travel and about exile. To shift for a moment to literary history in Tamil, there is evidence, even in the earliest Cankam poetry (circa 1 – 3 CE), of the need to move to other landscapes, and the anguish associated with such movements ... (3) For those aware of Chelva’s erudition, the three-pronged move he makes in this passage—from western/ized modes of travel writing whose impact can be seen on postcolonial diasporic writing, to older modes of travel tales such as those found in the two great Hindu epics, to the ways in which travel as a concept animates a different body of ancient writing, Tamil Cankam poetry—directs us to the temporal and spatial sweeps that mark the best of Chelva’s writings.

My findings suggest that novels are well equipped to engage in environmental education, although some of the form’s conventions must be disrupted to fully capitalize upon its strengths. The modern novel is conventionally limited in scope, often resorts to apocalyptic narratives that can breed hopelessness, is dedicated to a form of realism that belies the dramatic weather events exacerbated by climate change, defers authority to a single voice, and is logocentric.
