CALL FOR PAPERS


National Seminar on
Social Epistemology and Comparative Indian Literary Culture  
12th – 13th November, 2014
organized jointly by
Delhi Comparatists
and
 Department of Modern Indian Languages and Literary Studies
University of Delhi


Delhi Comparatists, a group of faculty and students who are pursuing comparative literary studies on the campus of the University of Delhi and the Department of Modern Indian Languages and Literary Studies, University of  Delhi are jointly organizing a  national seminar on the theme ‘Social Epistemology and Comparative Indian Literary Culture’ on 12th and 13th November, 2014. The seminar is dedicated to the memory of Ms. Barleen Kaur, who was a Ph.D. research scholar in the Department of Modern Indian Languages and Literary Studies, University of Delhi.

Indian literature, an amalgamation of writing in several languages conveying the worldviews of multiple cultures has been essentially perceived in the form of printed texts and has been understood within the context of a modern print public sphere. At the same time, Indian literature is a literary culture that constitutes script-centric (writing), phono-centric (orality) and body-centric (performance, painting, sculpture) representations that prompts us to look beyond the print public sphere. Thus, the study of Indian literary culture in its scripto-centric, phono-centric and body-centric formats takes us to the study of literature as a pluralistic epistemology and incorporates not only the print, musical and theatrical public spheres that are an outcome of colonial modernity but also to traditional public spheres such as temple, village fairs, urs etc. that are pre-colonial traditional public spheres. Interestingly, a majority of these public spheres, be they colonial or pre-colonial, are interwoven with social categories such as community, religion, caste, gender etc., and thereby transforms pluralistic epistemology into pluralistic social epistemology. As such social epistemological categories were the custodians of knowledge and the power during pre-colonial days, a study of Indian literary culture needs to be a study of scripto-centric, phono-centric and body-centric on the one hand involving transmediality, and, the social epistemological categories on the other involving interdisciplinarity. The seminar thus encourages scholars to address issues related to Indian literary culture involving comparison, transmediality and interdisciplinarity.
