Woman writing = manreading ?
Material type: TextPublication details: New Delhi Penguin 2013Description: 200pISBN: 9780143063247Subject(s): Criticism- Mlayalam iteratureDDC classification: 894.812 09 Summary: The Malayalam literary public is one of the most vibrant in India, and thrives on the long history of widespread literacy in the state of Kerala. It is well described as the beating heart of Kerala s public life. Historically, it has been the space in which entrenched power structures encountered their earliest challenges. Not surprisingly, then, critiques of patriarchy in twentieth-century Kerala were first heard and continued to be raised there, even when they had become muffled in wider public discussion. Womanwriting = Manreading? is a provocative take on some of the raging debates in Malayalam literature, which surely resonate elsewhere. But it also raises the important question: can we tell the story of women s antipatriarchal writing in Malayalam in a way that highlights the force and drama of their confrontations with the male-dominated literary establishment?Item type | Current library | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
