Catalogue 8 FINAL for WEB 2 In the summer of 2003 more than 200 documentary and short filmmakers from across India came together in a Campaign Against Censorship. Out of this solidarity came an act of resistance, Vikalp – Films for Freedom, an alternative festival of documentary films organized by filmmakers in Feb 2004 in Mumbai, and which has now spun off in many directions. Delhi Film Archive (DFA) has come out of this process, as an autonomous platform that supports free expression and fearless listening. 3 Screens has been organized at the India Social Forum, New Delhi, in the belief that censorship violates the essential rights of citizens, and since public opinion is an important part of our struggle, we believe it is essential to energise it through discussion, publication, and above all, a strong screening culture. DFA locates itself amongst the many struggles against censorship that have been bravely (and quietly) waged around us for so many years, and which continue to be fought all around us. We are aware that the best way to guard our rights as citizens is to speak clearly, speak honestly and speak from all corners of the country, and the world. 3 DFA is an archive of documentary films, as well as of materials that stimulate a collective response to censorship and the control of ideas. It is involved in promoting the dissemination of documentary and short films, and creating a screening culture where open access and the diversity of ideas and images is celebrated. It is also involved in raising awareness on the ways in which the censorship regime is used to contain the right to freedom of expression. DFA seeks to intervene in this situation by generating discussion on the politics and aesthetics of filmmaking. It is voluntarily run by filmmakers with the support of all those who believe in free speech, and is independent of any state body or institutional funding.

Year 2015. Version 1.0. The Humsafar Trust Page 1 SANCHAAR Media Guide: A Recommended Language Manual For Improved Reporting On Sexual Minorities In India FOREWORD The lexicon of same-sex relations in the human is sparsely populated. And that is not only because it was not understood but because it was stigmatised by religion and mainstream heterosexual society. Even today, the term “sodomy” and “catamites” are used in many legal documents and discourses in the USA and these were derived from Biblical texts. The first stirrings of movement on a rational basis to describe same-sex relations started in Europe a little before the region plunged into what are called World War I and World War II. Both were really wars fought by European Nation States and drew in both resources and knowledge from the colonies. Thus Edward Carpenter in England, Magnus Hirschfield in Germany, Havelock Ellis is Austria, all tried their hand at “naming” this phenomenon which was ancient in that they find mention in all human societies across the globe obviously making it a cross=species sexual behaviour. However, as the Upanishads say: “Defining reality or verbalising it – the’Vakas it is called in Sanskrit, took a very long time in secular sciences.

At the conference, there was a collective recognition of the unfolding impact of digitalization on various aspects of social, cultural, and political life in South Asia. We had a keen sense of how much things had changed in the South Asian mediascape since the introduction of cable and satellite television in the late 1980s and early 1990s. We were also aware of the growing interest in media studies within South Asian studies, and hoped that the conference would resonate with scholars from various disciplines across the humanities and social sci- ences.

  • Creating Inclusive Workplaces for LGBT Employees in India
    "In a time when India is seeing a lot of positive changes that will shape the future of its LGBTQ citizens, Community Business has come out with a splendid guide which is not only comprehensive, but also deals with issues that are very specific to India in a well researched manner. Today, in 2012, it is very essential for corporates based in India to come out of the illusion that they have no LGBTQ employees on board, and create a positive environment for them to come out in. I definitely suggest every Corporate HR, Talent Acquisition, and D&I team should read the 'Creating Inclusive Workplaces for LGBT Employees in India' resource guide while shaping policies that help create a more inclusive and supportive work environment for all.” Tushar M, Operations Head (India) Equal India Alliance For more information on Equal India Alliance go to: www.equalindiaalliance.org Creating Inclusive “The business case for LGBT inclusion in India is real and gaining momentum. India plays an increasingly vital role in our global economy. Creating safe and equal workplaces is essential for both its LGBT employees and India’s continued Workplaces for economic success. Community Business’ LGBT Resource Guide for India provides an invaluable tool for businesses in India to stay competitive on the global stage – and be leaders for positive change there.” LGBT Employees Selisse Berry, Founding Executive Director Out & Equal Workplace Advocates For more information on Out & Equal Workplace Advocates go to: www.OutandEqual.org in India “Stonewall has been working for gay people’s equality since 1989.

  • General Editors' Introduction
    General Editors’ Introduction SUSAN STRYKER and PAISLEY CURRAH ince its inception, one of our primary goals for TSQ has been to make it a S journal that, within the constraints of being published in English at a US university press, is attentive to the transnational circulations of “transgender”— to the outright resistances to that term as well as to its adoption, dubbing, hybrid- ization, and strategic use, with all the complex negotiations of power and culture those crossings and roadblocks imply. How better to further the goal of putting pressure on the anglophone biases of the field of transgender studies than to explicitly explore the languages through which “transgender,” as an analytic lens or identitarian label, does and does not reproduce itself, how names and concepts change in the translation from one context to another, or how they remain incommensurable and untranslatable? (Of course, we recognize that this repli- cates at another level the very anglonormativity we seek to contest.) Much of the work collected here was first presented in rough form at “Translating Transgender,” an international scholarly workshop convened by translation studies scholar David Gramling, January 11–15, 2015, at the University of Arizona, with the explicit intent of including that work in a special issue of TSQ, to be coedited by Gramling and TSQ editorial board member Aniruddha Dutta. For those in attendance, the Tucson workshop was a truly remarkable intellectual and emotional experience, which one senior scholar characterized as “without a doubt the single most stimulating academic event I’ve ever partici- pated in.” We hope that some of that excitement shines through in the works from the workshop that ultimately were submitted and selected for publication, as well as the works submitted through the regular call for papers process.
