December, 2021. All other dates remain unchanged.****

ছন্দ (Chhanda) or Rhythm as an International Conference cum Workshop was
envisaged last year by the School of Languages and Linguistics jointly with
Sir C.V. Raman Centre for Physics and Music, Jadavpur University as a quest
for the underlying rhythm that spans the massive Universe to the tiniest DNA.
The International Conference cum Workshop on Rhythm in Speech and Music from
Neuro-cognitive perspectives (ICRSM 2020) in its debut endeavor held at
Jadavpur University in January 2020, saw participation of eminent scientists,
scholars, researchers and luminaries from across the globe. A special issue of
the Jadavpur Journal of Languages and Linguistics has already been published
as part of indexing about 60 contributory papers we had received during the
Conference.

This year, the proposed theme of the Conference is “The Rhythm of Happiness -
a Multidisciplinary Exploration”. Rhythm is a part of our very existence. We
find it in the cycle of our life, seasons, years and days. It is a part of our
waking life and our sleep. Our very bodies are rhythmic in the primordial
rhythm of the heartbeat. Rhythm has various synonyms – flow, cycle,
periodicity, throbbing, self-similarity, repetition, harmony – and pervades
every walk of our lives. Interestingly, rhythm and happiness are intrinsically
linked. Rhythm and flow allow us immersion in our work and happiness.
Happiness is also manifest in the rhythm of dance and music. Rhythm, in terms
of harmony of colors, forms, work and leisure have the ability to induce
happiness. Standing antithetical to chaos, lack of order, disorganization,
disruption, distortion and disharmony, rhythm stands as antithetical to all
that is negative. Thus, both as a cause and effect of happiness, it stands on
two sides, paranthyzing happiness.

How does rhythm contribute to happiness? How does happiness lead to rhythm? A
search for the answer would lead one to multiple disciplines – bio-rhythms,
neuro-rhythms, cosmic rhythms, ecological rhythms, socio-cultural rhythms,
rhythms in music, art and culture, and rhythms in our everyday life. In each
of these areas rhythms contribute significantly, they also inter-play and
impact our state of happiness and wellbeing in interrelated ways. This
conference proposes to explore these two fundamental questions in each of the
areas cited above, as well as in ways that many of them are interrelated.

The core concept of rhythm irradiates and touches many disciplines, transcends
many disciplines. Thus, the various diverse understandings of rhythm and its
synonyms can be viewed as diverse manifestations of a fundamental unitary
principle. This conference attempts to delve into this fundamental proposition
and explore it further.
