    [ 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.

  • 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. Sri.Vaikom Muhamed Basheeer Sri.Thunchath Ramanujan Ezhuthcahan Sri.M T Vasudevan Nair Sri.Akkitham Achuthan Namboothiri Sri.O V Vijayan Vaikom Muhammad Basheer, also known as Beypore Sulthan, was an Indian independence activist and writer of Malayalam literature . Born in Thalayolaparambu in Kottayam District as the eldest child of a timber businessman, Basheer even from his childhood days was attracted to Gandhian thoughts and ideologies.

  • An Ecofeministic Study of Selected Poems of Sugathakumari and Kamala Das
    SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH Vol. 9, Issue 1, January 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.24113/ijellh.v9i1.10892 Green Shades of Feminity: An Ecofeministic Study of Selected Poems of Sugathakumari and Kamala Das Midhuna M Suresh MA English Language and Literature University of Kerala Kerala, India [email protected] Sreejitha P S MA English and Comparative Literature Pondicherry Central University Pondicherry, India [email protected] Abstract The discourse on feminism and ecology is familiar in literary studies as well as in socio- cultural scenario. But it seldom merged with each other-it has probably only been five decades since Indian literature has started discussing Eco feminism. Eco feminism, in short, blends the theories of feminism and ecology. This research paper critically analyses poems of the prolific Indian writers Sugathakumari and Kamala Das who always fought for upholding the women’s issues and conserving the nature. The paper aims to study their writings through the lenses of Ecofeminism, to treat them as their unabashed political commentaries on women and nature. Keywords: Sugathakumari, Kamala Das, Eco feminism, Environment, Women, Poetry. www.ijellh.com e-ISSN: 2582-3574 p-ISSN: 2582-4406 206 SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH Vol. 9, Issue 1, January 2021 1. Introduction Ecofeminism is a philosophical and political movement which combines the ideals of feminism and ecology, interpreting both as a result of the patriarchal society. “Ecofeminism is a movement that sees a connection between the exploitation and degradation of the natural world and the subordination and oppression of women.”(Mellor). The term Ecofeminism was first coined by Françoise d’ Eaubonne in 1974 in her contentious work Le Feminismeoula Morte.
