eDhvani Issue V: July 2014 CFP: Please Forward, Share and Inform Others

Posted: 15 Apr 2014 07:26 AM PDT

ISSUE V; July, 2014

Gender and Travel: Questioning Categories

Travel especially as a category yields easily or so it seems to the dominant. Our endeavor in this issue of eDhvani is to problematize the idea of travel and analyse it from positions that not only question the leisurely and gendered notions of travel but also reconceptualise the notion of travel in ways that open up the field of enquiry. Beginning with questions of "who travels? To where? How and why? ", eDhvani intends to explore the idea of travel and gender as movement. Gender is now largely understood as performance which is constantly shifting. On similar grounds, can there be a connection made between gender and travel as movement?  Can we look at gender itself as travel, as movement?

Travel writing as a genre has defined its boundaries largely within the concept of travelling for pleasure. How do we understand day-to-day experiences of travelling/commuting for work, travelling forced by displacement or even travelling/walking for basic necessities? The existing discourse of travel studies has to be re/read in this light. For example, the colonial travel writings have already been reread as documents that produced and established knowledge on the Orient for colonization. The extension of the boundaries of the genre in this manner would further complicate the study by looking at travel as movement from one space to another not necessitated by one's pleasure or pleasure to 'see/know', but necessitated by compulsion through which people negotiate. Thus, a displaced body as an engendered displacement, constructing gender spatially through body and performance, may link both travel and gender.

eDhvani, in its fifth volume, calls for scholarly papers that discuss and analyze various aspects of gender and travel.

The papers would be peer reviewed and published in the coming issue of eDhvani.

Papers can address but not limit to the following sub-themes:

  • Alternate travel narratives that would help redefine the boundaries of the genre
  • Travel narratives as a genre in the various language-literary traditions of India – nature, scope and limitations
  • Critical reading of travelogues in languages of India with special reference to gender discourses – deconstructing binaries of femininity and masculinity
  • Narratives that reconstruct notions of travel and connect it to questions of identity – who travels and to where
  • Travel/Movement as enabling, empowering – following the Ambedkarite notion of movement from the orthodox village to the modern space of the city
  • Oral narratives of communities which are always on the move.
  • Texts that question the pleasure/leisure/gendered nature of travel/movement
  • Exploring questions like religion-spirituality, health-medicine-body-performance, nation building, colonial/post-colonial, domestic/foreign space, work-leisure-displacement etcetera in travel narratives to extend gender debates
  • Reading travelogues, promotional videos, travel blogs, travel brochures, itineraries, travel support sites, travel guides, etc.

eDhvani also calls for

  1.  Interviews with eminent thinkers/writers on their views on travel and gender
  2. Translations of poetry/short writing/short travelogues related to the concept note
  3. Creative writings in the above mentioned areas

Last Date of Submission: 20 May, 2014

Intimation Regarding Acceptance/Rejection & Revision: 15 June, 2014

Final Submission after Editing: 30 June, 2014

Date of Publishing: First Week of July, 2014

Send complete papers/writings/translations to edhvani@uohyd.ac.in by 20th May 2014. The papers should follow the format mentioned in http://edhvani.in/ and please check the website for further details on submission.

Researchers at Work Conference (RAW CON 2014)

Posted: 05 Apr 2014 05:42 AM PDT

Centre for Comparative Literature

School of Humanities, University of Hyderabad, India

Researchers at Work Conference (RAW.CON 2014)

“Literature and Culture; Expanding Horizons: New Paradigms of Knowledge Production”

 

10 - 12 September, 2014

Hyderabad, India

RAW.CON or Researchers at Work Conference, in its fourth year, from the Centre for Comparative Literature, School of Humanities, University of Hyderabad, is a research initiative which broadly focuses on Literary and Cultural Studies. In the previous years, this conference looked at various issues of literatures, cultures and modernities. This year it proposes to explore new frontiers of knowledge production so as to understand how they contribute to research and analyses.


The idea of knowledge has been questioned profoundly from different positions, especially in a world where politics of identity asserts itself through various domains and what has been privileged as knowledge is called into question. Over time, knowledge has undergone major conceptual changes with various interventions and expansions. In addition, knowledge production in the recent times has altered its production, dissemination and reception in drastic ways. The everyday social, political and cultural identities are highly mediated by technologies. This mediation manifests itself in a broad range of circulatory practices which both dissolve and expand spatial, temporal and social boundaries, offering us new ways to represent the world. Knowledge production in contemporary world of ‘New Media’ visualizes identities through social networks and enlarges the concept of culture as a sphere of acceptance. The altered space and time juxtapose the material and the digital places, producing new forms of the ‘social’, while simultaneously renegotiating the political and social logics of local/global or private/public. It also augments the understanding of Culture and Literature as engaged in gaining historical knowledge to interpret contemporary situations.


Keeping all these as backdrop, RAW.CON 2014 calls for papers that connect new forms of knowledge, from all domains of literature and culture including ones that are mediated and facilitated by newer technologies, newer media, and newer modes of production. Terrains of textual making generating newer understandings through gender and queer, resistance literatures, texts through translation, dalit and minority writing, tribal literature, and, their possible interface with the available forms of technology will be focused upon.


Hence, RAW.CON 2014 seeks to raise questions such as how does ‘new media’ trigger and create new social phenomena. It intends to interpret the new-now that is mediated. What are the altered modes of communication, collaboration, and consumption of knowledge. How does it structure new forms of expression while transforming knowledge production and dissemination?


Abstracts are invited, but not limited to, the following areas:

* Historiography of Digitization

* Knowledge in Digital Domains

* Newspaper and Publishing

* Television, Advertisement, Photography

* Video as Text and Narrative

* Media, Intermedia and Interart

* Archiving Folk Art and Forms

* Translation and Knowledge Networks

* Sports and Performance Studies

* Gender and Sexuality

* Language and Ideology

* Margins and Popular Culture

* Dalit, Tribal, Minority Discourses

* Virtual Activism and Resistance

* New and Emerging Areas and Forms of Literatures
