Madonna Arts and Science College for Women Rameswaram High Road, Virahanur, Madurai - 625 009 Vol. 6 Special Issue 1 February, 2019 Impact Factor: 3.025 ISSN: 2321 – 788X International Conference on Multifaceted Empowerment of Women in the Society 8th February 2019 Organized by Madonna Arts and Science College for Women Rameswaram High Road, Virahanur, Madurai - 625 009 + Most Rev. Dr. Antony Pappusamy Archbishop of Madurai President, Tamil Nadu Bishops’ Conference MESSAGE It indeed gives me immense joy to know that Madonna Arts and Science College for Women, run by the Sisters of the Congregation of Immaculate Conception (CIC), is hosting an International Conference on Friday, 8 February 2019, on the theme of “Multifaceted Empowerment of Women in the Society.” The First Creation Account in the Hebrew Bible (Christian Old Testament) states that “… God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). Sooner in the Second Creation Account we find a slightly different narrative, where it reads, “And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said, ‘This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man’” (Genesis 2:22-23). When the texts were juxtaposed in interpretation, the First Creation of Account of male-female equality that is rooted in the very image God gave way to male-female domination which is wrongly misread into the Second Creation Account. The rib, which is one of the hardest elements in a human body, signifies strength. Metaphorically, woman who is formed out of strength is the protective layer of the heart of humanity and human society. Her power is no way undervalued in the mind of her Creator. But, in history, on account of the anthropological, sociological, political, and at times religious grounds the woman has been treated – mistreated, ill-treated – as the Second (ed) Sex. In doing so humanity in fact has mistreated itself. It is time that we unveil the feminine power and unleashed her potentials. This present International Conference at Madonna College of Arts and Science for Women strikes on this chord. I congratulate the speakers of the Conference, who will be presenting papers from literary, psychological, anthropological, sociological, linguistic, and religious perspectives on the Women Empowerment and will cull out the managerial, political, and existential implications of the same, and I extend my best wishes to the organizers and the participants of the Conference. May this Conference be an eye-opener to all and may it create in us an identity of a woman, which is more humanizing, life-giving, and liberating. May God bless you! + Most Rev. Dr. Antony Pappusamy Rev.Sr.Antony Xavier CIC Superior General Congregation of the Immaculate Conception MESSAGE “Every great dream begins with the dreamer Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world” - Harriet Tubman The creation story of the Holy Bible states that God created human persons in the ratio 1:1. But the scenario has changed and the ratio become imbalanced and creates a lot of problems in the society and the world at large. One of our Congregation’s aims is to promote and empower women through education. Madonna Arts and Science College for women, though only 3 years old, has achieved great heights in the academic and co curricular realm. I feel elated and extremely happy that this college in collaboration with “Shanlax International Journals” conducts a one day seminar on the theme “Multifaceted empowerment of women in the society”. Women’s involvement and contribution in all walks of life is commendable. The objective of the seminar is to provide awareness about women’s involvement in the society, starting from house to space. I do believe, that this seminar has the prime target to reach out to the young women of today, to make them aware of their innate potentialities and encourage them to build a serene and prosperous world of tomorrow. For the first time in the history of “Madonna Arts and Science college for women” this one day International Seminar is arranged and conducted in collaboration with the “Shanlax International Journals” . I hope this will become the “Power Bank” to inspire the young minds and instill in them hope and courage; create an ability to look for new horizons in life. I hope, wish and pray this seminar provides ample opportunities for more reflections on their capacities and release more energy for better thinking and actualizing their potentialities. Let me take this opportunity to appreciate the college administration, the organizing committee members, members of the staff, students, all the contributors and participants. A big thanks to Shanlax International Journals for their support and initiations. May this Seminar add one more pearl in the crown of Madonna Arts and Science College for women. May God bless you all abundantly. Yours in Christ Rev.Sr.Antony Xavier CIC Sr.V.Alphonse CIC Secretary Madonna Arts and Science College for Women, Madurai MESSAGE In the history of India women have been playing a prime role for a long time. Women like Micrelli and Karki kept up their role by their skill of arguments during the time of Veda and Upanishad. Today our young women keep up their traditional role in the path of empowerment. They shine in varied fields like politics, medical, science, economics, banks, sports, researches etc. Keeping the empowerment of rural women in mind our college had been rendering educational service to the rural women having eight departments. This brings credit to our college. In this process our college organizes international conference on “Multifaceted Empowerment of Women in the Society”. Our college feels proud in organizing the first international conference in the three years history of our college. Hundreds of professors, scholars and students have added credit to our collage by their writings. I greet and appreciate all the professors and students who are involved in this great venture. Dr.M.Joseph Israel Principal Madonna Arts and Science College for Women, Madurai MESSAGE Women’s Empowerment is the process in which women elaborate and recreate what it is that they can be, do and accomplish in a circumstance that they previously were denied. Empowerment of women is a necessity for the very development of a society. Empowerment includes the action of raising the status of women through education, raising awareness literacy and training. This education and training are provided in Madonna College owned by CIC sisters and started three years back exclusively for rural women of Virahanur area. I sincerely wish that this International Seminar on “Multifaceted Empowerment of Women in the Society” will expose various domains in which women’s participation and their developments may be raised by pinpointing through paper presentations by Educationalists and Research Scholars. My Best Wishes for the successful completion of the task. Dr.M.Joseph Israel Principal Fr.Danis Ponniah SJ Provincial, Jesuit Madurai Province, Dindigul FELICITATION Dear Friends, Greetings from Jesuit Madurai Province! I am much delighted to know that Madonna Arts and Science College for Women organizers an International Conference on ‘Multifaceted Empowerment of Women in the Society and brings out on this occasion an International Journal which will publish research papers presented at the conference on February 08, 2019. At the very outset, let me congratulate the college on this significant academic initiative aimed at dissemination of the findings of academic research with a view to promoting a healthy intellectual discourse on the theme of empowerment of women. It is very true that such a social project as empowerment of women requires a multi-pronged or multifaceted and a holistic approach. Therefore, I am happy that the college has chosen a socially relevant theme for serious deliberations. Women are no less human than men and vice-versa; obviously there is no unhealthy comparison here. But it has been an established fact that there is so much of power and energy lying dormant and hidden in every woman that when opportunities are given they simply break out, excel in the areas of their competence and thus transform themselves into enlightened and empowered humans sufficiently equipped to use their innate power of self-determination. Today, one of the very crucial issues that needs to be addressed is how women could create opportunities, how they could use opportunities which come in their way and how they could encounter challenges and threats that stifle the process of their empowerment by male chauvinistic and patriarchal communities and societies in which discrimination against women is acute and rampant on account of deep-seated and traditionally entrenched prejudice that women are inferior to men and therefore it is alright that they are treated as subordinates to men. Therefore, one of the important tasks that the project of empowerment of women entails is that they should be taught to assert their fundamental human rights in order to ensure that no opportunities are denied to them. They need to seriously combat unjust denial of their rights and opportunities by networking and collaborating with like-minded groups and positive forces that fight against gender discrimination. I take this opportunity to place on record my sincere appreciation to the Management, the Principal and the Staff for organizing an international conference on such a socially relevant theme. Established in the recent past, the college has made rapid strides within a short span of time by conducting such useful programmes. Academic enterprise of this sort will no doubt prepare women who would be socially committed, intellectually competent, affectively creative and emotionally compassionate.

  • 1 the Discourse of Colonial Enterprise and Its Representation of the Other Through the Expanded Cultural Critique
    Notes 1 The discourse of colonial enterprise and its representation of the other through the expanded cultural critique 1. I use the term “enterprise” in a delimited manner to specifically denote the colonial enterprise of capitalism and corporate enterprise of multi-nationals under global capitalism. I also examine the subversion of the colonialist capitalist enterprise through the deployment of indigenous enterprise in Chapter 4. It is not within the purview of my project to examine the history of the usage of the term “enterprise” in its medieval and military context. 2. Syed Hussein Alatas in a 1977 study documents and analyses the origins and function of what he calls the myth of the lazy native from the sixteenth to the twentieth century in Malaysia, Philippines, and Indonesia. See his The Myth of the Lazy Native (1977). I pay tribute to this excellent study; however, my own work differs from Alatas in the following respects. Alatas treats colonialist labour practices as an ideology or a patently false “myth” not as discourse. Unlike Alatas my own study of labour practices is oriented towards discourse analysis. This difference in tools leads to a more fundamental theoretical divergence: Alatas foregrounds the myth of the lazy native without investigating the binary half of the industrious European that sustains the former. Contrarily I argue that the colonized native’s unproductive work and play within the expanded cultural critique cannot be discussed without taking into account the normative labour and leisure practices in post-Enlightenment enterprise. 3. My choice of the Defoe text, as well as my locating the colonial capitalist discourses of labour in the English Enlightenment is influenced by Marx’s brief but intriguing interpretation of Defoe’s Crusoe.

  • 'Love' in Bengali Literature and Cinema
    (Mis) Reading Romance: An Enquiry Concerning Representation of 'Love' in Bengali Literature and Cinema (Abstract of the PhD thesis submitted to Centre For The Study Of Culture & Society, Bangalore, affiliated to Manipal University) Abstract This research project is an enquiry into the cultural imagination of romance within a specified historical domain. The dissertation is a study of certain moments within the cultural history of Bengal when representational constructions of ‘romantic intimacy’ get meshed with other socio-political dimensions of modern Bengali subjectivity. I have chosen Bengali literature of the colonial period, especially of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and a specific genre of Bengali popular cinema of the post-colonial period, as two sites of enquiry into the cultural trajectory of romantic love. The argument shall chart this specific trajectory of the romantic imagination that is intimately linked to the substantive reformulation of cultural ‘identity’ in relation to the other socio-political parameters, which oversee the historically defined ‘identifications’ of the Bengali subject. My arguments demonstrate through illustrations from various literature and cinema, how such creative reconceptualizations in the field of romance enable the Bengali subject to gain a critical perspective on the very historical frameworks and social mandates that locate him within the aegis of modernity. Instead of tracing the linear evolution of Ideas of romance or sociological transformations within the community, my argument seeks to trace a series of significant moments which as products of creative imagination and representational work problematize the dominant ways in which the modern frameworks overseeing social life have been appropriated by the colonial and post-colonial subject.

It argues that mediatisation and mediation of cricket have played more significant a part in the circulation of cricket than historians have accorded to it. It studies the role of literature, news reports and radio broadcasts, which have transmitted cricket for a long period, as agents of producing a history of the sporting public. The framework of culture in this thesis is formulated on media texts which, far from being confined to objective treatment of cricket, evoked canons, provided the sport with a sense of tradition, and determined the protocols of its appropriation.

  • Early Indian Talkies: Voice, Performance and Aura
    Early Indian Talkies: Voice, Performance and Aura Madhuja Mukherjee This paper studies the ‘coming of sound’ in Indian cinema, in relation to the debates such technical change generated in the Indian context, and the ways in which sound and music were negotiated within popular cinematic forms. In connection with this, I would also like to address the question of a ‘gendered’ voice and performance in early talkies to illustrate how various representations of sound and music were produced through a cultural politics. In my attempt to study the deployment of music in popular cinemas, I examine the subject of classical music (and songs), and its varied articulations in the pre-play back era. I wish to read how the ‘aura’ of performances, which is apparently lost through mechanical reproductions, may be reinstituted through certain kinds of performances within specific contexts. I use a New Theatres Ltd. [1] film, Street Singer (1938), and K.L. Saigal’s enunciations of the ragas in the film, to elucidate my point. I 100% talkies: A historical overview The first Indian talkie Alam Ara , based on a popular stage play, produced by the Imperial Film Company [2] and directed by A. Irani was released on 14th March, 1931 [3]. Irani had seen Hollywood’s 40% Sound film Showboat and decided to bring 100% sound to India. The Madan Theatres [4] narrowly missed the opportunity to make this ‘history’ and followed up Irani’s first film with six more talkies in the same year. Madan’s second film Shirin Farad , based on a Persian love story and featuring Jehan Ara Kajjan, Nissar and 42 songs, was a booming success.

  • Le Cinéma Indien : Un Char Que L’On Ne Peut Arrêter
    1 Le cinéma indien : un char que l’on ne peut arrêter Chidananda Das Gupta Malgré tous ses problèmes, les reculs qu’il a connus et les obstacles réels et imaginaires sur son chemin, le cinéma indien est une institution massive, un monument à l’autonomie du pays dans le domaine du divertissement de masse. Fermement ancré dans la psychologie indienne, il est en mesure de faire front à tout défi de l’extérieur. Étant le plus grand producteur de films du monde, il a établi un modèle cinématographique qu’imitent les pays de l’Asie du Sud ainsi que certains autres pays du « Tiers Monde » en dépit des différences religieuses et spirituelles et parfois même des antagonismes. L’industrie cinématographique indienne, qui a évolué essentiellement après l’indépendance de l’Inde, est la deuxième du monde après Hollywood en matière d’indépendance, de puissance et d’influence. Comme on pouvait s’y attendre, ce sont sur les problèmes posés par l’opposition entre la modernité et la tradition, la religion et la science, l’ancien et le nouveau, l’Orient et l’Occident, fondamentalement, des manifestations d’un même conflit, que le cinéma indien s’est surtout penché.
