Notes - villupattu

"The southern end of the research project’s fieldwork region is the home of villupattu, a well-developed form of story-telling and -singing (Blackburn 1988). Villupattu features a combination of talking, chanting, and singing, and often is used to tell the story, typically during an annual festival, of the divine figure associated with a particular village. Deities are believed to demand attention and respect, and both puja and villupattu attempt to please the deity by describing, praising, and summoning him or her. In these ritual contexts, the act of narration is an act of invocation. Whatever forms of puja and villupattu are practiced in the fieldwork village will be studied." http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/~emiller/proposal.html
