Published Paper Details:

This paper is an analysis of Chithrapusthakathile Yathrikar which is a short Malayalam novel written by an upcoming writer Sreejith Vallikkunnu. This work unfolds the life of a journalist and the happenings of his life amidst his fast-paced work-life. It is also the story of Anna, a research associate at Shanti Nikethan, too. This paper analyses how Chithrapusthakathile Yathrikar becomes an instance of a successful attempt at providing a clear graphic representation of a human tale through words. The selected vocabulary and narrative pattern show how letters can create visuals without providing the actual pictures. This paper uses the insights from Visual and Graphic studies and points out how the idea of Visual Studies can include aspects from word narratives. For this purpose, I have adopted certain select terminology and conceptual tools from visual field, namely, the Visual, Visuality, Visibilization, Visual Subjectivation/Objectivation, and Visual Engagement.
