Little magazine movement
Encyclopedia
Little magazines, often called "small magazines" are literary magazines which publish experimental and non-conformist writings of relatively unknown writers. They are usually noncommercial in their outlook. They are often very irregular in their publication. The earliest significant examples are the transcendentalist publication The Dial (1840–44) edited by Ralph Waldo Emerson
and Margaret Fuller
in Boston
and The Savoy (1896) edited by Arthur Symons
in London
which had a revolt against the Victorian
Materialism as its agenda.
Little magazines played a significant role for the poets who shaped the avant-garde movements like Modernism and Post-modernism across the world in the twentieth century.
The Little Magazine Movement originated in the fifties and the sixties in many Indian languages like Bengali
, Tamil
, Marathi
, Hindi, Malayalam and Gujarati
, as it did in the West, in the early part of the 20th century.
modernist poetry burst upon the Marathi
literary world with the poetry of B. S. Mardhekar in the mid-forties. The period 1955–1975 in Marathi literature is dominated by the little magazine movement. It ushered in modernism
and the Dalit
movement. In the mid-fifties, Dilip Chitre
, Arun Kolatkar
and their friends started a cyclostyled Shabda. The little magazine movement spread like wild fire in the sixties with hundreds of ephemeral to relatively longer lasting magazines like Aso, Vacha, Lru, Bharud and Rucha. The movement brought forth a new generation of writers who were dissatisfied with the Marathi literary establishment which they saw as bourgeois, upper caste and orthodox.Ashok Shahane was the pioneer of the little magazine movement in marathi in the sixties. The writers like Dilip Chitre, Arun Kolatkar, Namdeo Dhasal
, Tulsi Parab, Bhalchandra Nemade
, Manohar Oak
, Bhau Padhye
, Vilas Sarang
and Vasant Abaji Dahake
came to prominence with the movement. Their writing is non-conformist and non-populist. The little magazine movement of the sixties ran out of steam in the mid-seventies. A representative translation of many poets of this period has been done by Dilip Chitre.
, Shabdavedk, Saushthav and later on Aivaji, Khel, Anaghrat, and Navakshar Darshan burst upon the scene. The poetry of the poets like Manya Joshi
, Mangesh Narayanrao Kale
, Hemant Divate
, Sanjeev Khandekar
, Saleel Wagh
and Sachin Ketkar who emerged from these little magazines of the nineties bear witness to the social and cultural transformation and write with a sensibility that is different from the generation that emerged from the movement of the sixties.
, it started with Kallol
, a modernist movement magazine, established in 1923. The most popular among the group were Kazi Nazrul Islam
(1899–1976), Mohitlal Majumder
(1888–1952), Achintyakumar Sengupta
(1903–1976), Satyendranath Dutta
(1882–1922), and Premendra Mitra
(1904–1988). Then Bengali poetry got into the brightest light of modernism in the 1930s, through the movement of a few other little magazines, such as Buddhadeb Bosu's Kabita and Sudhindranath Datta's Parichay.
Movement took the cultural establishment by storm. In fact it changed not only the types of publication but also the naming of magazines. The Hungry Generation Movement aimed at waging a war against the literary establishment and the decadent society in general. Prominent figures included Shakti Chattopadhyay
, Malay Roy Choudhury
, Subimal Basak
, Tridib Mitra
, Samir Roychoudhury
, Falguni Roy
, Subon Acharjo, Pradip Choudhuri, Subhas Ghosh, and Basudeb Dasgupta
.
There are other Bengali Writers who raised their voice against the establishment but did not join the Hungry generation
Movement. Most notable amongst them is the maverick writer Subimal Mishra
.
Other experimental writers who mostly wrote in little magazines include Kamal Kumar Majumdar
, Amiyabhushan Majumdar and Udayan Ghosh.
