In this episode, our hosts Ayilisha and Ashwinii, budding translators themselves, share their thoughts about translations and engage deeper with Kavitha Karuum, who has extensively worked in the media and translation industry, and whose translations have been featured in projects by The National Libra...2021-01-2438 min
Solliladanga - Singapore Tamil Literary PodcastEp 7: Women in Singapore Tamil Literature: Writers & Writing | பாகம் 7: சிங்கை தமிழிலக்கியத்தில் பெண்களும் பெண் எழுத்தும்“(I write about)…. the everyday murder of women, the countless deaths they die through every humiliations and micro-aggressions, the erasure of their identities.” - Kanagalatha, Award-winning Singapore Tamil Writer
A unique aspect of the local Tamil literature scene is that women form a significant part of the writing community. They have made their mark across different types of literary genres (i.e, poetry, short stories, etc.). However, has this effectively translated into making the woman’s voice heard in their works? Moreover, do female writings always have to be feminist in nature? What unspoken hesitations do female writers...2021-01-1736 min

Vaigarai Pookal, written by the first Tamil recipient of the Southeast Asian Writers Award from Singapore, is one such literary piece of historical fiction that brings us back in time to the lived experiences of a Tamil family in Singapore during the Japanese Occupation. In this novel, Ma.

It was only last year that Singapore celebrated its bicentennial milestone, which marked the 200th year of Stamford Raffles' founding of the nation. However, Singapore's history is intertwined with that of the larger region and is almost 700 years-long. The nation's literature in the mother tongues, Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil, have had similar historical trajectories that go further back in time; even before the advent of colonialism. As such, where do these trajectories diverge and converge? “Bilingualism” is popularly associated with a proficiency in English paired with that in our mothe...2020-12-2034 min
