It tries to locate these engagements and negotiations across three geopolitical formations and locations of culture, namely region, nation and trans-nation. These three locations work as contact zones where the literature- cinema interface manifests in various forms. With the emergence of transnationalism and comparative film studies as methods in cinema studies, multiple modes of literature-cinema negotiation are becoming increasingly evident with cinema studies borrowing concepts such as ‘world literature’ and ‘comparative morphology’. In the Indian/South Asian context, these locations are entangled with issues such as the language question, regional nationalisms, the crumbling idea of a federal republic with an increasingly stronger unitary governance, linguistic identity politics as manifested in popular cinemas and literatures, translational politics and the formation/development of certain national centres for the production of various modes of translation, India’s cultural/literary/cinematic negotiations with the trans- nation before and after globalization/economic liberalization etc. With contemporary India as its primary site of inquiry, the conference moves towards inter-continental geopolitical engagements without considering Indian regional/national and literary/cinematic questions in isolation. Apart from thematic and ideological associations with the trans-nation, it involves participants beyond the borders of the Indian nation (from Sri Lanka and Bangladesh), transforming itself into a discursive space where the conceptual apparatus meets with the narratives that inform and shape the former. Narratives from the margins will also significantly feature in the conference, with panels and plenaries on and from the Indian North- East. Moreover, panels will be devoted to Goa and its distinctive history of colonial and postcolonial politico-cultural engagements as manifested in indigenous literature and art. Sub-themes include, but are not limited to, the following: Transnationalism as Method Comparative Cinema Studies and the transnational question South Asia’s Cultural Engagement with the ‘West’ Page 4 of 114 Cultural/Literary/Cinematic Migration within South Asia Idea of India and the Language Question Linguistic Identity Politics in South and North-East India North-East India and the Politics of Translation South Korea’s Cultural Penetration into the Indian North-East Goa’s legacy as an erstwhile Portuguese colony Goa’s engagement with other Portuguese colonies (Brazil, Cape Verde, Mozambique) Goa as a contact zone of culture Histories of colonial, anti-colonial and postcolonial cultural negotiations in Goa National and Transnational Cultures in South Indian Cinemas Regional Militancy in National (Popular) Cinema Trans-Nation and Indian Modernity Trans-Nation/Translation Subtitling/Fan-Subbing/Dubbing/Remake as Cultural Translation Internet Sharing in the Age of Post-Cinema Formative Years of Film Industries and the Cultural and Literary Translation(s) From Adaptation to Cultural Translation and Beyond State and Non-State Actors in translation Page 5 of 114 Organizing Committee Coordinators Parichay Patra and Amitendu Bhattacharya Head of the Department Reena Cheruvalath Faculty Members Basavadatta Mitra Bidisha Banerjee Geetha Bakilapadavu Hareesh A.

Now in its second year, the four­day Lab is a creative and strategic partnership between Drishyam Films and Sundance Institute, and gives independent screenwriters the opportunity to work intensively on their feature film scripts in an environment that encourages innovation and creative risk­taking. The Lab is centered around one­on­one story sessions with creative advisors.

M. Keith Booker, PhD Dissertation Director Yajaira M. Padilla, PhD Frank Scheide, PhD Committee Member Committee Member Abstract This project analyzes adaptation in the Hindi film industry and how the concepts of gender and identity have changed from the original text to the contemporary adaptation. The original texts include religious epics, Shakespeare’s plays, Bengali novels which were written pre- independence, and Hollywood films. This venture uses adaptation theory as well as postmodernist and postcolonial theories to examine how women and men are represented in the adaptations as well as how contemporary audience expectations help to create the identity of the characters in the films.

  • Introduction

    Introduction

    Introduction Mahagama Sekera (1929–76) was a Sinhalese lyricist and poet from Sri Lanka. In 1966 Sekera gave a lecture in which he argued that a test of a good song was to take away the music and see whether the lyric could stand on its own as a piece of literature.1 Here I have translated the Sinhala-language song Sekera presented as one that aced the test.2 The subject of this composition, like the themes of many songs broadcast on Sri Lanka’s radio since the late 1930s, was related to Buddhism, the religion of the country’s majority. The Niranjana River Flowed slowly along the sandy plains The day the Buddha reached enlightenment. The Chief of the Three Worlds attained samadhi in meditation. He was liberated at that moment. In the cool shade of the snowy mountain ranges The flowers’ fragrant pollen Wafted through the sandalwood trees Mixed with the soft wind And floated on. When the leaves and sprouts Of the great Bodhi tree shook slightly The seven musical notes rang out. A beautiful song came alive Moving to the tāla. 1 2 Introduction The day the Venerable Sanghamitta Brought the branch of the Bodhi tree to Mahamevuna Park The leaves of the Bodhi tree danced As if there was such a thing as a “Mahabō Vannama.”3 The writer of this song is Chandrarathna Manawasinghe (1913–64).4 In the Sinhala language he is credited as the gīta racakayā (lyricist). Manawasinghe alludes in the text to two Buddhist legends and a Sinhalese style of dance.

    Gangubai Hangal's Primary Guru in Music Was Sawai Gandharva. She Has Also Acknowledged the Inspiration and Influence of Her

    Gangubai Hangal's primary guru in music was Sawai Gandharva. She has also acknowledged the inspiration and influence of her mother Ambabai and Zohrabai Agrewali on her musical development. Her singing embodies an extraordinary grasp of the essence of raga, keen sensitivity of swara, and an acute feeling for aesthetic design. She lives in Hubli and ********* Excerpts of an interview from C.S. Lakshmi's The Singer and the Song - Conversations with Women Musicians Vol 1 (2000). On her Padma Bhushan award: Gangubai: It is normally announced to the D.C. (District Collector) here. Then they come to ask to check who the person is, whether they want to receive the award or not. "You have got it, do you want to accept it?" My uncle was sitting outside, I wasn't there. "What is it? If it is Padma Bhushan she will take it," he said. "If you come tomorrow she will be back." I came back. He said, "Look, you have got the Padma Bhushan." They came and took my signature from the Tehsildar's office. After they took it, I thought, 'These are announced on January 26th, maybe on the 25th night. I must listen to the radio before I sleep. Both of us must sit together before the radio, listen to the announcement and then sleep'. We sat for a long time. Nothing was announced. So I said, "Look, they asked me for my signature just like that. It's not there. Nothing has come." It did not occur to me that nobody's name was announced.

What’s the issue? • Since J&K has a separate Constitution, Governor’s rule is imposed under Section 92 for six months after an approval by the President. • In case the Assembly is not dissolved within six months, President’s rule under Article 356 is extended to the State. Governor’s rule expires in the State on January 19. Governor’s rule in J&K: • The imposition of governor’s rule in J&K is slightly different than that in otherstates. In other states, the president’s rule is imposed under the Article 356 of Constitution of India. • In J&K, governor’s rule is mentioned under Article 370 section 92 – ‘ Provisions in case of failure of constitutional machinery in the State.’ Article 370 section 92: Provisions in case of failure of constitutional machinery in the State: • If at any time, the Governor is satisfied that a situation has arisen in which the Government of the State cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution, the Governor may by Proclamation: • Assume to himself all or any of the functions of the Government of the State and all or any of the powers vested in or exercisable by anybody or authority in the State.

Field Ohio University, Athens, OH, USA ABSTRACT KEYWORDS A consensus is growing among scholars of modern Indian literature Modernist realism; that the thematic development of Hindi, Urdu and Bangla poetry Rabindranath Tagore; was consistent to a considerable extent. I use the term ‘consistent’ romanticism; Sinhala poetry; to refer to the transitions between 1900 and 1960 from didacticism Siri Gunasinghe; South Asian literary history; Sri Lanka; to romanticism to modernist realism. The purpose of this article is to superposition build upon this consensus by revealing that as far south as Sri Lanka, Sinhala-language poetry developed along the same trajectory. To bear out this argument, I explore the works of four Sri Lankan poets, analysing the didacticism of Ananda Rajakaruna, the romanticism of P.B.
