(National Seminar on Traditions of Folk in Literature)
In a vast and diverse country like India, it is important that policy planners are sensitive to the impact of the developmental processes on the marginalized communities. This seminar will contribute to two major concerns: first, to study the marginal society in their specificity through literature; second, the impact of the contact of the marginalised communities/ tribes with more complex societies. The dialogue of the seminar may be created through a discussion of some important literary texts from folklore literature covering folk novels, folk poetry, folk tales and folk theatre.
Objectives:
This seminar may merge political restrains and sociology, social theory, literary theory, media theory, film/video studies, cultural anthropology, philosophy, museum studies, art history, communication, the oral and the written traditions of the folklore literature and the appreciation to study cultural experiences in various societies—in relation to literature.
Some of the important disciplines in this seminar may be: Folklore Literature, Critical Theory, Culture Theory, Feminism, Gender Studies, Museum Studies, Popular Culture Studies and Language Studies etc.
Dates of the seminar: 30th & 31st August, 2010
