Literature of the marginalized is a major area of the contemporary post colonial and post modern studies which is very relevant to the study of Comparative Literature. India is a nation where many cultures, languages and religions co exist. This has contributed to the cultural diversity and lives of our people. However, the voices of the deprived and marginalized have been pushed to the peripheries because of social and political reasons. The literature and arts of the suppressed and exploited sections of the society come into the forefront, giving new dimensions to the study of culture.

The proposed seminar will examine the various aspects of the subject. Meena Kandaswamy, renowned Tamil writer, activist, translator and artist has kindly agreed to inaugurate the Seminar. Eminent scholars and writers will be participating in the Seminar.
Contributory papers are invited on the following sessions:

2. Folk and Minority Literature
3. Forms of Resistance in contemporary Indian Literature

Invites you to a panel discussion
Whether to be (or not to be) Charlie Hebdo:
Respecting Freedoms, Resisting Violence
Opinions have been flying fast and furious, across social media, in the newspapers, and on television talk shows. Images of protest both violent and peaceful, caricature and contestation, anguish and anger, words that tumble over each other in the desire to defend free speech and equally vehement counterpoints that explain the violent responses and just barely stop short of justifying them…we live in confusing times, and the most reflective of us are defeated by the challenge of a nuanced, balanced response. Is such a balance even possible in the face of intolerance and its violent manifestations? What are the threads of fact and imagination that we can draw together to make sense of events such as the violent response to the cartoons in the French magazine Charlie Hebdo earlier this month, or similar events in the not-so-distant past in not-so-distant places?
Join us to explore these and related questions

Department of Mass Media of Kishinchand Chellaram College, one of South Mumbai's premier colleges, takes pleasure in inviting all media professionals and academicians to a national conference on 'Visual Media Culture' organised by the Dept of Mass Media, K.C. College to be held at the Colaba Campus on 20th & 21st February, 2015.
The main objective of the conference is to provide a platform for researchers, academicians as well as industry professionals from all over the country to present their research papers and development activities on various facets of 'Visual Media Culture'.
Kishinchand Chellaram College was established in 1954 under the aegis of the Hyderabad (Sind) National Collegiate Board, H(S) NC Board. This year K.C. College is celebrating its Diamond Jubilee. (1954-2014)
Bachelor of Mass Media, an undergraduate program was started in the year 2000 and since then has been at the forefront of the new media movement in teaching. The Department of Mass Media has been listed among the Top 10 mass communication departments in the country by the India Today magazine for three years in a row- 2012,2013& 2014 (June 2014 edition).
The dept uses innovative methods of learning and development for the benefit of the students. We have been fortunate, to have good academicians and some of the best people from the industry to be the part of our programme.
Looking at the demand for media professionals, K.C College started a two-year Master's course, MACJ (Master's in Communication and Journalism) in 2011 and one more post graduate course: MA EMA (Entertainment, Media & Advertising) from academic year 2014-2015. All courses are affiliated to & recognised by the University of Mumbai and are successfully running in full strength.
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.
