20. Sapamochanam (The Curse Liberation), A Kathakali Play by Sadanam Harikumar

Author

Harikumar, Sadanam

Subjects
College teachers, Social workers, Television broadcasting
Abstract

This play is a new interpretation of Urvashi and Arjuna from the epic Mahabharata. Immortal Urvashi of heaven was the life partner of mortal emperor Pururavas of earth, Arjuna's fortieth ancestor. The story is that Urvashi, assigned to be an eternal virgin who was denied motherhood, experiences the bliss of motherhood because of Arjuna. Indra, Arjuna's father, has brought him to heaven so that he might annihilate Indra's enemies. Urvashi, who has fallen in love with Arjuna, approaches him for love but is rejected by Arjuna. Urvashi curses Arjuna to become a eunuch. Arjuna, who has realized that Urvashi was Pururavas' wife, tells her in despair that she is no different from his biological mother Kunti and his stepmother Indrani, Indra's wife. Urvashi's dormant motherhood bursts forth as she hears this. At the end of the story, Urvashi embraces Arjuna with maternal love, lays him on her lap, and sings a lullaby. Arjuna and Urvashi are the protagonists of this play. The other characters include Urvashi's two friends and two nymphs who appear in the interlude. Dr. Sadanam Harikumar is more than just a kathakali performer. A recipient of the President's National Award to Teachers, the Kerala State Lalitha Kala Akademi Award for Sculpture, the Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi Award for kathakali, and the Outstanding Young Indian Award by the Indian Junior Chamber and the Fellowship of the Department of Culture for Research, Harikumar is a top-grade artist of Indian Television in kathakali. He is also an A-grade classical singer on All India Radio. Harikumar has composed twenty-one kathakali plays, including the kathakali adaptation of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar (Vanderstoel 2011). He has composed, directed, and sung about twenty-five innovative musical works for Doordarshan (national TV channel of India). He has had several solo exhibitions of his paintings and sculptures. He served as kathakali Professor at VishwaBharati University Santinikethan for five years. He is currently the Secretary of the Gandhi Seva Sadanam Kathakali Akademi in Kerala.

21. Feeling Familial Separation: Emotions, Agency, and Holocaust Refugee Youths

Author

Abstract

During the years of the Nazi regime, well over 1,000 European Jewish youths migrated to the United States in organized unaccompanied child migration schemes. These youths left an abundant, and largely untapped, trove of sources in which they constructed narratives of their lives and emotions to their parents in letters, to their social workers in their various interactions, and to themselves in their diaries. Though refugee youths undeniably felt a range of emotions, in this article I suggest that emotional expression tells us less about the emotional inner lives of youths than the attempt to exert and subvert control and power in a topsy-turvy world. By drawing attention to the language of emotions, their inherent power dynamics, and the potential gulf between emotions and experience, this article opens a conversation about our capacity to document children's agency and to study emotions to explain decision-making and experience. Key words: childhood, emotions, Holocaust, refugees, In 1947, eighteen-year-old Phyllis Mattson (nee Felicitas Finkel) began to take stock of her life's hard knocks. Mattson had arrived in the United States seven years earlier, having crossed the [...]
