K1 and Rani T Jose2 M. Phil. Research Scholar, Department of Communication1 Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, India Under Graduate Student, Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, English, Journalism2 St. Claret College, Bangalore University, Bangalore, Karnataka, India Abstract: There are many movies represented women’s issues and concerns in the films. But most movies women were portrayed for sheer beauty and attraction. Women in cinema start with an object of love and end in marriage. And it’s a fact is that roles for women and women characters are far below as proportionality. Women film makers and actresses criticise that the media represent the interests of the elite class or superior gender and women has nothing in it. The glory and success of women and their contribution toward society and their fighting toward the evils and stereotypes never get proper respect and appreciation. And gender representation in cinema is one of the main concern in the present scenario. It’s a fact that the majority of women characters tends to reinforce harmful gender stereotypes. The Malayalam film industry is one of the most influential film industries in India. Each year plentiful movies are beholding the silver screen. Movies with varied genres and out of the box thoughts are the main highlights of the Malayalam film industry. There are many pieces of research made on the portrayal of women or gender in popular films.

  • Different Styles and Designs of Kerala Vessels*
    Different Styles and Designs of Kerala Vessels* Dr.Greeshmalatha. A.P Associate Professor S.N. College, Chempazhanthy, Thiruvananthapuram The state of Kerala is situated on the south western part of India. It is bounded on the east by the Western Ghats and on the west by the Arabian Sea. Sandwiched between the tall mountains and the deep sea, Kerala is a long stretch of enchanting greenery. It extends from Manjeswaram in the north to Parasala in the south. More than forty rivers spring from the mountains. Taking a zig zag course through the hills, they join either with the backwaters or directly with the sea. In addition to the rivers, Kerala has a continuous chain of lagoons and backwaters that run parallel to the sea coast. This geographical peculiarity necessitated them the use of boats for the contact of the neighbouring places. And so in accordance with the nature of Ecology, availability of materials, varied purposes, etc the people of Kerala introduced different types of crafts. Along the coast of Kerala one can find different types of crafts like kattamaram, chalattadi, kambavala vallam, karamadi vallam, vallam, vanchi, toni, odam, patti, padi, paduva, paruva, uru, pattemari and so on. These different varieties of vessels are used for various purposes like fishing, racing, transportation of cargo, ferry and such other purposes. References to different names of traditional vessels are seen in certain literary works starting from the classical Tamil works to the modern literary compilations. The names of crafts found in such literary compilations are *Published in K.N. Ganesh (ed.), Exercises in Modern Kerala History, Kottayam, 1 2012, PP.32-49 given in Table.
