Mini Classical Tamil Winter Seminar (CTWS)
Pondicherry, India, 19 January 2021
From 1-5 March 2021 the team of the Tamil Cankam project at the EFEO centre in Pondicherry will conduct a miniature Classical Tamil Winter Seminar in order to read the Kalittokai, one of the Cankam anthologies that have been critically re-edited recently. The text represents the apex of the earlier type of sophisticated poetry, and matters are further complicated by the highly influential medieval commentary by Naccinārkkiṉiyar.
The whole meeting will take place online, the number of places will be restricted to 25 participants. For participation and registration please contact Eva Wilden. READ MORE
