சு. தமிழ்ச்செல்வி சிறுகதையும் சமூக வாழ்வியலும்: S. Tamilselvi: Short Stories and Social Life

Abstract

Literature not only reflects human thoughts but also identifies and portrays various aspects of people's social life. In the contemporary literary context, fiction has a significant impact on society. Scientific advancements in the modern era have brought about remarkable changes in human life. The effects of these changes are reflected in various domains, including literature, politics, society, language, culture, and gender. Dominant ideologies often establish themselves as superior and sacred, thereby functioning as instruments of power and authority within society. The writings of S. Tamilselvi reveal and critically examine these social structures and power relations. Through her fiction, she explores the problems encountered by women in their everyday lives and highlights the social realities underlying these issues. This article examines how S. Tamilselvi's short stories portray women's lived experiences, social challenges, and the possibilities of addressing these issues within the Tamil social and literary context.
