Department regularly conducts certificate courses in video production, photography and scriptwriting. These popular courses are open to students from any faculty and from different colleges.
The conference committee has decided the theme for this year's conference as "Visual Media Culture".
This inter-disciplinary conference aims at becoming at a melting pot of ideas on visual media and the diverse cultures it has birthed, nurtured, propounded, adapted into, as well as helped evolve. Visual media is invested in a multitude of mediums including television, photography, film, digital imaging, new media, architecture, design, mixed media and graphical arts. Visual media culture is spread across a range of social arenas, including news, art, science, advertising, popular culture. In many ways it spices up our everyday lives.
Technological advancements in the media sphere and the near transformation of media as a micro-communicator has heralded a new world of visualities where participation and self-representation interact with variety of visual codes which can be imaginary, empirical or even systemic.
From mobile phone's touch screen interface to signboards on the highway, from graphical art adorning airport terminals to evolving designs of newspapers, from typography to photography; visual media culture can be explored in many contexts: as standalones, or in a direct contrast with each other; as a system or a part of a larger meaning, within social institutions or as a rebellion, as an element of culture or as a singular ethnic signature; as an identity or as an influence in the formation of certain individualities.
With the hope to explore this rich and multi-dimensional area of study, we invite papers from academics, students, researchers, professionals and other enthusiasts, on the abovementioned theme. We hope to have panels on a variety of sub-themes listed below, but we are open to any alternate exploration of the theme as well.
