ECO-FEMINIST DISCOURSE IN TAMIL  (English, Paperback, Vanathu Antoni)

This book is an attempt to expose the Eco-feminist structure which underlies the entire gamut of Tamil culture, literature and worldview. It explores the Eco-feminist theory of the Tamil ti?ai worldview which operates with a triadic pattern, namely: a literary confluence of bardic, poetic and puranic traditions an insightful ensemble of literary genres with poetry, prose and drama; an epistemological fusion of perception, imagination and insight; an ontological blend of the sensual, semiotic and spiritual; an ethical orientation of pleasure, wealth and virtue; an aesthetic mix of the landscape, bodyscape and mindscape; an anthropological merge of rootedness, relatedness and realizedness and a sociological spectrum of multiplicity, femininity and sovereignty.
