    Disciplinarity in a Digital Age

    DISCIPLINARITY IN A DIGITAL AGE 10 – 12 January 2019 DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DELHI AN INTERNATION AL INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE (in collaboration with ICSSR & Institut Français, Delhi) SENATE HALL First Floor, Main Building Indian Institute of Technology Delhi Hauz Khas – 110016 Image: Jeppe Hein, “A New World.” Photo by Kelly Sikkema on Unsplash Concept Note The evolution of disciplines under the influence of digitization is a matter that demands urgent scrutiny. Both the sciences and humanities are confronted with ‘data’ poised for manipulation. While digitization can enrich the tools and methods available for investigation, it also rekindles dreams of a singular methodology universal enough to consolidate an unwieldy multiplicity of disciplines. But this promise of digitization must echo with the noise of ‘science wars’ in the nineties. That flashpoint was a sure betrayal of the territorial instincts that define academic departments thereby obscuring the real history of disciplines as they individuate out of the ferment of interacting discourses. As the Sokal affair saw the publication of a hoax article in a leading cultural studies journal, the parodical appropriation of scientific content was an occasion to ask if editorial ideology could ever qualify as a 'method'. All in all, digitization provides for a moment to reconsider both the future and the history of disciplines today. Indeed it was the Sokal affair that also precipitated a growing interest in philosophy of science displayed by the absorption of Thomas Kuhn and Paul Feyerabend in discussions of postmodernism. Postmodernism itself is a condition mediated by the emergence of digital media.

These thinkers have categorically and critically approached Gandhi’s reasonings on Non-violence, Satyagraha and Swaraj. But the seeming paradox in fact ennoble Gandhi’s stature to the readers. Gandhi was counter to speed; but, was in fact, perpetually dynamic in his thoughts. He had a persuasive weapon of non-violence and therefore Gandhi authenticated the law of hypophysics. As mentioned by the author(s), “Gandhi’s engagement with speed as the measure of value is outside the ambit of metaphysics, and yet, it is all around us in the talk about

At a time when the country’s lockdown measures are relaxing, he advocated ‘health code and travel cards’, amongst other mea- sures, and emphasized that the success of biometric tools and devices depends very much on such high-tech applica- tions as big data and AI to carry out targeted measures, for example, to trace someone’s travel history, close contacts or the transmission chain of infections, etc. The health code and travel cards that Mr Gao referred to are essentially a colour-coded health system that dic- tates where citizens can go. Indeed, as people in China resume their lives, local authorities have been trying to con- trol the further spread of disease by controlling citizens’ movements. This is done via smartphone software installed in WeChat, used by 1.16 billion people, and Alipay, used by 900 million. The program issues everyone with a coloured health code if they fill out a quick health survey, and the code dictates whether they can leave the house or not.

To attend register at: https://ifindia.in/equality/simone-de-beauvoir French author and existentialist Simone de Beauvoir has exerted considerable influence on feminist theory and gender studies around the world. In the context of the Generation Equality Forum 2021 and the publication of the book, The Inseparables (France, 2020), by Beauvoir’s adopted daughter, Sylvie Le Bon de Beauvoir, the ‘Café Philo’ organized by the French Institute in India will delve deeper into how the work’s protagonist brought about a feminist awakening in Beauvoir. Her landmark book considered the Bible of the feminist movement, The Second Sex (1949), will soon be translated in Hindi. The Inseparables 2020 marks the first publication in France This captivating unpublished novel from 1954 tells the first passionate and tragic friendship between two rebellious young girls, Simone de Beauvoir & Zaza. Beauvoir referred to women as the Second Sex because they always seemed to be defined in relation to men. This work speaks about Beauvoir’s early life and a relationship that formed her views on sexism and gender inequality.
