The emergence of disciplines like Media Studies and Cultural Studies has initiated critical debates on the way media represent popular culture. The politics and poetics of media intervention in the sphere of culture, when looked at from a critical vantage point seem very problematic. The omissions, distortions, and sometimes even blatant misrepresentations in the media space have come under scanner.
In the last couple of decades, the agenda of mainstream media is increasingly set by the New Media. Social Media is no more an inferior other, but an equal stake holder. The tools of new media have metamorphosed the otherwise passive consumers of news to actual producers of news. The possibility of instant circulation and critical intervention makes social media space a potent force in the contemporary times. Social media is a site where print, mass, and online media converge.
In the contemporary global context, media space is witnessing radical transformations. On the one hand there is the corporatization of media, and on the other hand there is the emergence of alternative media. Media has emerged as a site of critical intervention, but attempts are made to curtail the freedom of expression and to curb the freedom of the press.
The main objective of this seminar is to problematize and interrogate such critical issues. The political, sociological, and cultural dimensions of these issues are pertinent in these troubled times. The seminar aims to bring together media persons, cultural activists, and academicians so as to initiate more meaningful explorations of the linkages between popular culture and contemporary media.
We invite abstracts from media persons, academicians, research scholars and students on the following thrust areas.
· Media and Representation
· Media and Education
· Media and Culture
· Media and the Subaltern
· Media and Youth
· Digital India and Digital divide
· Net Neutrality and Freedom of Expressions

MES PONNANI COLLEGE
CALL FOR PAPERS
Dear Sir/ Madam
Department of English, MES Ponnani College, Ponnani, is organizing a two day U.G.C Sponsored National Seminar on Giving Voice to the Silenced: Presentation and Construction of Subaltern in Literature and Media, in the second week of January 2016.
About the Seminar
Subaltern is a constituency whose voices and social locations have generally been ignored by the privileged scholarship deliberately. Society tends to tag certain people as outside the norm - sinister, ghoulish, detestable and futile and relegates them to the fringes of society. Academic disciplines were predisposed to the advantaged lives till then and Subaltern studies delineated itself as an endeavor to approve to populace finally to speak within the invidious leaves of elitist historiography and in so doing, to articulate for, or to reverberate the hushed voices of, the truly browbeaten. They also shed new lights on the domains of culture and politics of the period and their roles in the whole picture. These writings have been able to outline the whole process of history being written from the point of view of elite nationalism and their confines. Writing such history constitutes subversive cultural politics because it exposes forms of power/knowledge that oppress subaltern peoples and also because it provides liberating alternatives. Subaltern studies also try to track resistance, even to the smallest degree, in an attempt to represent the subaltern as an active agent in her/his own history. Instead of merely enacting the tragic predicament of the subaltern, it mirrors the subaltern method of piecing together histories by examining the fragments and shards of a broken past that get lost in the process of historical explanation. The historical representation of the various lower-class subaltern groups was framed in the terms and interests of the ruling power, or dominant social class. Their works were not propaganda for subaltern groups but its politics of representation is such that rather than speaking for the subaltern unswervingly, it betrays the dominant manipulative and exploitative ideology using their own discourse. The seminar intends to find out how the marginalized is presented in literature and media in the hands of subalterns themselves and how they are constructed in the writings of dominant group and tries to identify whether there is a hidden pitfall in the glorification of subalterns in the works of dominant class.
The term 'subaltern' has got wider implication and the plight of any marginalized group which is being trampled down by the scrounging elitist can be discussed under that title. Here, leaving the broad platform, the focus is restricted to Dalits, Tribals, Transgenders, Sexual Workers and Slum Dwellers so that somber and profound deliberations can be ensued.
As Arundhati Roy said, "There's really no such thing as the 'Voiceless."
There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard."
Let that silence be broken here! Let those muffled sobs be heard here.
Original, unpublished papers from academia, experts in the concerned area and students/research scholars are invited for the presentation. The proposed papers can be on the topics listed below. Papers on the broad area of subaltern studies also will be considered, yet, we will be thankful if you choose to focus on the special areas mentioned here.
1.Dalits 2.Tribals 3.Transgenders 4.Sexual workers 5.Slum Dwellers
