Two Day National Seminar on Eco-Future: A Voice for Nature, December 17-18, 2019

The Department of English, Government College Kattappana

Environmental degradation is one of the major global issues that the twenty first century is affected with. The depletion of the Ozone layer, resources, air, water and soil, the destruction of the eco system, the extinction of wildlife and global warming are some of the consequences of man’s overuse and exploitation of land and water for urbanisation and industrialisation. As over the decades literature has become a pretext to the study of environmental issues under the influence of ecological debates, and relevant texts have often been evaluated according to their capacity to articulate ecological contexts. Literature realizes and visualizes that individuals and social pathologies are coextensive. At the same time it is important to note how mankind defines its relationship with nature and to investigate to what extent ecocentric and biocentric voices can be heard over anthropocentric voices. The trouble is we have all let ourselves become part of the killer story, and so we may get finished along with it. Hence it is high time that we discuss the untold problematics of environmental devastation.

We call for papers in the following and related thrust areas.

 Ecocriticism

 Ecofeminism

 Urban Ecology and Environmentalism

 Ecomasculinity

 Ecopoetics

 Deep Ecology

 Green Studies

National Seminar on Partitions Revisited: Postmemory, History, Identity, 20th February 2020

National Seminar on Partitions Revisited: Postmemory, History, Identity, 20th February 2020

The English Literary Society

Zakir Husain Delhi College

One of the most defining events of South Asian history, the Partition of India in 1947 led to large-scale mass migration and altered the geopolitics of the region. Such has been the impact that its legacies continue to inform everyday experience of conflict and violence. As belated witnesses, we experience the historical and personal trauma through creative and literary works which constitute a rich corpus of Partition literature. While progressive writers like Sadat Hasan Manto have portrayed the movement of people across borders as a search for safe haven from the violence accompanied with this cataclysmic event, modernist writers like Intizar Husain have viewed this as an exodus for a promised land. The experience of suffering, exile, homelessness and loss have been immortalized by writers Faiz, Krishan Chander, Rajinder Singh Bedi, and Bhisham Sahni.

Bengal’s experience of Partition has been significantly different and has found expression in the works of Jibananda Das, Dibendyu Palit, Manik Bandhopadhyay, Sunanda Bhattacharya, Himani Bannerjee and others. Unlike Western India, the partition in Eastern India was a long drawn one. Here, the influx of migrant population continued over the next decades with a perceptible change in the demography of the north-eastern states of India, and continues to shape contemporary debates on citizenship. Homen Borgohain’s short story “Ismael Sheikhor Xandhanot” (2003) and Rita Chowdhary’s novel Makam (2010) document the trauma of migration and the related issues of resettlement in eastern India.

Narratives of partition help in understanding the workings of memory as well as ‘postmemory’, a term Marriane Hirsch uses to describe the relationship of the second generation to powerful, often traumatic experiences that preceded their births but that were nevertheless transmitted to them so deeply as to seem to constitute memories in their own right. Memories of lost homelands, cross border romances and nostalgia of ruptured relationships continue to animate recent popular films like Gadar – ek Prem Katha, (2001), Veer-Zaara (2004), and more recently Qissa (2014), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) and Raazi (2018). Earlier films such as Subaranrekha (1965), Garam Hawa (1973), Pinjar (2003) and Khamosh Pani (2003) have sensitively portrayed displacement, relocation and loss of a sense of a community, with clashes not only based on religious lines but class, caste, and gender issues also resurface with great urgency.

While memory has been the mainstay of Partition scholarship, recent critical engagement has focused on issue of borders and how it continues to affect lives especially along the borderlands. Partition and its lingering aftermath continue to shape contemporary debates on displacement and dispossession, citizenship and identity. An area of interdisciplinary research, Partition studies has taken different directions and continues to be an enigma in popular imagination. This National Students’ Seminar seeks to examine historical, literary, cinematic, graphic and personal narratives of partition from varying theoretical perspectives as it resonates with our present concerns.

We invite original research papers from undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as researchers from colleges and universities. 

Papers may be related but not restricted to any one

of the following sub-themes:

• Colonialism, Nationalism, and the Partition

• Partition films and adaptations

• Borders and Borderlands

• Women in Partition

• Oral Narratives and Testimonies

• Migration and Refugees
