Title A name given to the resource Literary Cartography of Performance Ecologies in Sheela Tomys Valli Subject The topic of the resource Ecological Crisis; Ecoprecarity; Indigenous Community; Performances; Spatial Politics Description An account of the resource The shift towards posthumanism is characterized by blurring boundaries between humans and other species alongside emerging narratives centred on climate catastrophes and ecological crises. Sheela Tomys Valli (2022) is one of the most recent works of Indian fiction that actively promotes ecological consciousness. Set against the picturesque landscape of Wayanad, Valli intricately captures the essence of the indigenous community, weaving their stories into its narrative. The paper suggests that reading Valli through a cartographic lens transforms the narrative into an intelligent discourse on spatial politics. The performances in Valli are understood through the lens of performance ecology (Jeff Grygny), reflecting ongoing contemporary ecological debates. Their interrelation is explored by mapping spatial memory and schema of the characters, based on Robert T. Tallys theory of literary cartography (2013). Additionally, the paper will provide an overview of the ecopolitics of Wayanad, with a specific focus on the socio-political conditions of the Paniyar and Kuruchiyar scheduled tribes from which the characters are drawn. The study will underscore the triad of space, performance, and ecology in Valli, invoking a sense of ecoprecarity essential for rethinking and potentially expanding our notion of sustainability. 2024, University of Malaya.
