Abstract Book Abstract Book Summary of Lectures Delivered at 71 st Orientation Programme November 19 - December 18, 2018 UGC-Human Resource Development Centre Jadavpur University Programme Coordinator Nandan Bhattacharya Assistant Director UGC-HRDC, JU i Published By UGC-Human Resource Development Centre, Jadavpur University, Kolkata Published in November, 2018 Conceptualized by Rajat Acharyya Director (Additional Charge), UGC-HRDC, & Professor of Economics Jadavpur University Editorial Team Nandan Bhattacharya Chaitali Mukherjee Prabir Kr. Chatterjee Printed By Amar Ekushe ii Director’s Note The UGC-Human Resource Development Centre, Jadavpur University, is organizing the 71 st Orientation Programme, the last among the four such programmes sanctioned by the UGC in the session 2017-18. Like the previous Orientation Programmes, we have organized a study tour at Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) Kolkata, for the participants of 71 st Orientation Programme. In this study tour the participants would get first-hand experience in direction, sound, cinematography, editing and animation through a guided tour of different units of SRFTI, which they would thereafter document in terms of reports. My sincere thanks go to Debamitra Mitra, Director of SRFTI Kolkata and Ashok Viswanathan, Dean, SRFTI Kolkata, for arranging such an important study tour for the participants of the 71 st Orientation Programme. While selecting topics of the lecture sessions, three criteria have been kept in mind: topics of current affairs of national as well as international importance (such as Disaster management); topics of general interest for moral, psychological and professional development (such as lectures on IQAC, Gender issue, stress management, research methodology, CAS/service matters, general financial rules); and topics of cross-discipline and multi-discipline in nature (such as lectures on, philosophy and history of science, Law, Media Studies). On top of all these, there has been one session on performing arts with live demonstration. This Abstract Book collates summary of most of these lectures delivered by experts and eminent researchers in the relevant fields both from within and outside West Bengal. The summary lectures are arranged thematically according to the above-mentioned perspectives. I hope that the participants of the 71 st Orientation Programme would find this Abstract Book useful for ready references of what they have learnt through this programme. On January 20, 2018, we have achieved a milestone by launching our own website (www.hrdcju.in) and from the session of 2018-19 the application procedure has become on line both of which have been the first of their kind among all the HRDCs in West Bengal. I sincerely thank the University administration for all the help that has been provided to us in this regard. The e-copies of this Abstract Book as well as the earlier ones can be downloaded from link to Archive in this website. Apart from providing all necessary information regarding different programmes organized by us along with time lines and application forms, the website contains a feedback link which can be used by the participants and other stakeholders for providing us their valued suggestions. Such suggestions would help us improve our performance and disburse our moral responsibilities more efficiently and effectively according to the needs of the stakeholders . At the end, I wish all the participants a memorable and enjoyable four weeks of interactive learning.

  • Setting the Stage: a Materialist Semiotic Analysis Of
    SETTING THE STAGE: A MATERIALIST SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS OF CONTEMPORARY BENGALI GROUP THEATRE FROM KOLKATA, INDIA by ARNAB BANERJI (Under the Direction of Farley Richmond) ABSTRACT This dissertation studies select performance examples from various group theatre companies in Kolkata, India during a fieldwork conducted in Kolkata between August 2012 and July 2013 using the materialist semiotic performance analysis. Research into Bengali group theatre has overlooked the effect of the conditions of production and reception on meaning making in theatre. Extant research focuses on the history of the group theatre, individuals, groups, and the socially conscious and political nature of this theatre. The unique nature of this theatre culture (or any other theatre culture) can only be understood fully if the conditions within which such theatre is produced and received studied along with the performance event itself. This dissertation is an attempt to fill this lacuna in Bengali group theatre scholarship. Materialist semiotic performance analysis serves as the theoretical framework for this study. The materialist semiotic performance analysis is a theoretical tool that examines the theatre event by locating it within definite material conditions of production and reception like organization, funding, training, availability of spaces and the public discourse on theatre. The data presented in this dissertation was gathered in Kolkata using: auto-ethnography, participant observation, sample survey, and archival research. The conditions of production and reception are each examined and presented in isolation followed by case studies. The case studies bring the elements studied in the preceding section together to demonstrate how they function together in a performance event. The studies represent the vast array of theatre in Kolkata and allow the findings from the second part of the dissertation to be tested across a variety of conditions of production and reception.

Southeast Review of Asian Studies Volume 34 (2012), pp. 222–30 Rehearsals for a Revolution: The Political Theater of Utpal Dutt ARNAB BANERJI University of Georgia During the mid-1960s, when communist politics were beginning to gain significant ground in Bengal, the playwright, actor, and director Utpal Dutt উৎপল দত্ত (1924–93) experimented with theatrical forms in the hope of creating a political theater and fomenting a proletarian social revolution. This essay examines his concept of the “revolutionary theater” and its underlying elements, which include traditional forms of theater like jatra and both Piscatorian and Brechtian techniques. Utpal Dutt উৎপল দত্ত (1924–93) is one of the best known and most respected figures in the history of modern Bengali theater. A committed leftist, Dutt wrote, directed, and acted in commercially successful and politically challenging plays during a career of nearly fifty years from the early 1940s until his death in 1993.

  • Actresses on Bengali Stage—Nati Binodini and Moyna: the Present Re-Imagines the Past
    Actresses on Bengali Stage—Nati Binodini and Moyna: the Present Re-imagines the Past Madhumita Roy and Debmalya Das. Visva Bharati, Santiniketan. India. Abstract The Bengal Renaissance ushered in the process of multifaceted modernization resulting in the major reshaping of the theatrical space both in terms of convention and praxis. Abandoning the convention of cross–dressing (where the earlier male actors were dressed as women to represent female characters), this new theatrical space began to accommodate the women actors for the representation of female characters. Parallel with the emergence of the “New Woman” in the upper middle class society of the nineteenth century, the women actors also constituted a segregated sphere of the emancipated women. Although “free” to encounter the public sphere, they were denied the degree of social acceptability/status that was otherwise available to the then upper middle class “New Women.” This paper tries to locate the experience of a female actor of nineteenth century: Binodini Dasi: as is rendered in her two short autobiographical writings and the re-imagination of that experience in the twentieth century play Tiner Taloar by Utpal Dutt. Dutt uses the historical material to explore the consolidation and redefinition of the feminine space in his contemporary theatre. [Keywords: theatre, actress, performance, prostitution, protest, commodification, liberty.] The Bengal Renaissance ushered in the process of multifaceted modernization resulting in the major reshaping of the theatrical space both in terms of convention and praxis.

  • A Study in 19Th Century Bengali Theatre
    Article-6 Global Media Journal-Indian Edition/ISSN 2249-5835 Sponsored by the University of Calcutta/www.caluniv.ac.in Winter Issue/December 2013/Vol. 4/No. 2 COMMUNICATION THROUGH PUBLIC STAGE: A STUDY IN 19TH CENTURY BENGALI THEATRE Moloy Rakshit Assistant Professor Department of Bengali Presidency University Kolkata - 700 073, West Bengal. India Email: [email protected] Website :www.presiuniv.ac.in Introduction The strength of theatre as a medium of communication lies in the fact that as a lively and kinetic media it can communicate to people to an extent which cannot be matched by any other idiom of art and literature. Theatre was established in Bengal as an ancillary of the British colonial rule and its culture. Theatre is not Bengal’s own culture like Jatra-Lokantya-Thumer-Sang Nach-Half Akhrai-Khemta etc. Cronically, when Kolkata was becoming important in the 19th Century as British India’s capital and a centre of trade and administration, it was the European import of theatre and not the ethnic forms, became the favourite medium of cultural practice of the educated intelligentia. The quintessential bengali ‘Babu’, enlightened with European education and culture, accepted theatre primarily as a mode of entertainment and secondarily, as a platform to prove to the British that they were no less to the latter in terms of capitality in modern cultural practice. This particular class of ‘Anglicised’ Bengalis wanted to creat a class of their own district from the common Bengalis who were fond of ethnic cultural forms mentioned earlier. Thus it may be inferred that European theatre which got a hold in Kolkata due to imitating efforts of a few learned Babu’s, was from its inception, a minority culture.
