The paper attempts to read the Endosulfan disaster in Kerala as an instance of the Anthropocene wherein the unscientific use of a pesticide resulted in the persistent misery of a population and the ecology in which they struggle to survive. The suffering is further presented to a larger audience through the film Valiya Chirakulla Pakshikal (2015, Dir. Dr Biju) by assimilating the reel and the real to bear testimony to their struggles amidst the toxicity of the chemical. The film, as the paper argues, becomes a representative text in the eco-trauma genre that on the one hand displays the disaster while on the other offers a cultural resistance against the unchecked use of chemicals around us. The film situates the Endosulfan disaster amongst the global movements against the pesticides and emphasises the need of a healthy environment.

真实、卷轴和人类世:电影 Valiya Chirakulla Pakshikal 中的生态创伤见证

该论文试图将喀拉拉邦的硫丹灾难解读为人类世的一个例子,其中不科学地使用杀虫剂导致人口和他们难以生存的生态持续痛苦。通过电影 Valiya Chirakulla Pakshikal(2015 年,Dir. Biju 博士)将苦难进一步呈现给更多的观众,通过同化卷轴和真实来证明他们在化学品毒性中的挣扎。正如论文所言,这部电影成为生态创伤类型的代表性文本,一方面展示了灾难,另一方面提供了对我们周围不受限制地使用化学物质的文化抵制。这部电影将硫丹灾难置于全球反对杀虫剂的运动中,并强调了对健康环境的需求。
