Meeting Description:

Cultural forms like literature, film, theatre, media and other contemporary
forms have tried to map the experience in all its varieties, dimensions and
complexities. In literature, “textual mobilities” of Ramayana and Mahabharata
epics and their surrogations across Southeast Asia is a case in point. Current
critical theories, especially postcolonial theories, have translated textual
mobilities into diverse enticing trajectories worth investigating.

In the process, the mapping and its trajectories have complicated conventions
of representation like the notion of “mirroring” reality in fiction, or
rendered problematic the notion of “representation” itself, like “realism” as
a mode of representation across cultural conventions, genres, forms and
principles and practices.

Literature, film, theatre, media and other contemporary forms that deal with
the experience of diaspora, migration and multiculturalism as “imagined
reality” problematize even as they highlight the invention and innovation of
cultural and art forms that engage with the “lived reality” of globalization,
including its social contradictions and asymmetries generated by
globalization.

The theme of the conference is expansive enough to allow for a whole range of
literary and cultural forms and media texts, approaches, perspectives, and
disciplinary and interdisciplinary dialogues around the notions of home
diaspora, migration, transnationalism and multiculturalism while allowing for
specific issues as focus in national and international contexts. It welcomes
papers from the broad fields of the social sciences as well as from the
humanities.

Topic Areas:

- New “representations” in contemporary cultural forms and media
