B∫…. 138 5 6 Ecoaesthetics and Literature Preface The term ‘ètude’, in French, means ‘study’. It is also an instrumental musical composition designed to perfect a specific musical skill. True to the original meaning of the term, this serial publication titled ètude, is conceived as a research journal meant for the dissemination of new knowledge in multidisciplinary areas – knowledge that is born out of sheer hard work and meditation in academic pursuits. Multilingual in nature, the inaugural edition of ètude has been set apart for the publication of the proceedings of the two-day seminar under the patronage of the Director of Collegiate Education, Government of Kerala, jointly organized by the departments of English, Malayalam and Hindi from 4-5 December 2014 on the theme of ‘Ecoaesthetics and Literature’ which is one of the fittest themes for the debut of an academic journal as well. It is a vibgyor of scholarly articles on a theme of perennial interest and universal significance. This first issue of ètude to be released in January 2015, to commemorate the 40th year of the establishment of Panampilly Memorial Government College, Chalakudy, throbs with genuine concerns for the survival of the mother earth and its inhabitants, the humans. It is hoped that this ISSN monthly journal will go a long way in providing the much needed platform to the members of the fraternity in the higher education sector to realize in black and white their academic goals and endeavours.
