Doordarshan have generously extended media partnership to the conference. Images in the brochure are selected from Sarai Archive collections. Sponsors Media Partner 2 The Idea Remembering legendary beginnings provides us the occasion to redefine and make contemporary the history we set out to honour. We need to complicate the idea of origins and `firsts’ because they highlight some dimensions of film culture and usage over others, and obscure the wider network of media technologies, cultural practices, and audiences which made cinema possible. In India, it is a matter of debate whether D.G. Phalke's Raja Harishchandra (1913), popularly referred to as the first Indian feature film, deserves that accolade. As Rosie Thomas has shown, earlier instances of the story film can be identified, includingAlibaba (Hiralal Sen, 1903), an Arabian Nights fantasy which would point to the presence of a different cultural universe from that provided by Phalke's Hindu mythological film. Such a revisionary history is critical to our research agenda.

  • Read Detail Interview
    Usha Ganguli is a well-known theatre person, and is Artistic Director of her Kolkatta based theatre company called ‘Rangkarmee’. She was invited to the Prithvi Theatre Festival 2006’ to present her play KASHINAMA. The following conversation between Atul Tewari and her took place on 11th November 2006 as part of the ‘Meet the Playwrights’ sessions. The conversation has been edited as necessary. Atul Tewari: Like always, the ‘Meet The Playwrights’ sessions are one more great initiative that Prithvi has made in order for us to come together and I am not at all depressed by the numbers present here. It seems that when Buddha started his conversations there were only five people with him. We are at least five times more than that! So here we have gathered to talk to Usha Ganguli. But I hope to meet not just the playwright because Usha is not just a playwright. She has many facets to her personality. She is an actor, a director, an activist. She is also an art administrator who is associated with the Sangeet Natak Akademi and the National School of Drama as well as with few of the important institutions in Bengal. She is of course a very well known teacher in Kolkata. She taught Hindi for many years, before she retired last year and then of course she is a playwright and a composer of music. Though she says that she was never trained formally in music, she was trained as a dancer in Bharatnatyam. This evening we will try to touch upon the many different facets of Usha’s personality.

  • Excerpts Inserted Notes in the Draft Manuscript of Dilip Chitre's Forthcoming Book STANDSTILL: Unfinished Requiem for a Lost S
    Excerpts inserted notes in the draft manuscript of Dilip Chitre’s forthcoming book STANDSTILL: Unfinished Requiem for a Lost Son ----which is an account of the author’s sinking into deep depression, followed by inexplicable euphoria, and a condition that was his brush with madness that he fought to overcome. Insert#1 The world's oldest hospital was established, for the care of those who were considered mad, in England more than seven centuries ago. This is the Bethlem Royal Hospital in London. It was founded in 1247. The word bedlam is derived as a corrupted colloquial version of Bethlem. The recognition of madness as a condition in which the sufferer is perceived as someone who needs to be segregated from the rest of society for his or her unruly and unacceptable behaviour goes back thus to at least the 13th century. The Bethlem Royal Hospital was established for the care and cure of such people. That was the first madhouse or asylum in the world. To recognize some people as mad a family, community, or society would need to notice repeated unruly behaviour on the part people who are perceived as a category or a class in themselves, and that may obviously be the reason or rationale in wanting to keep such individuals together and away from the rest. ### Did madhouses and asylums exist in India before Indians met Western civilization? Does Ayurveda, for instance, have anything on treating the mentally ill, the behaviourally violent, and the socially undesirable? In the South Asian, as also in other civilizations, religion and the supernatural give an ambiguous status to people who do not conform to the norms of civil behaviour; also, people with extraordinary gifts such as poet-singers, eloquent speakers, actors, artists, innovators and inventors, and even philosophers are considered mad but not in a pejorative sense.

Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication Abstract SHARMA, DEVENDRA, Ph.D., August 2006, Communication Studies PERFORMING NAUTANKI: POPULAR COMMUNITY FOLK PERFORMANCES AS SITES OF DIALOGUE AND SOCIAL CHANGE (250 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Arvind Singhal This research analyzes the communicative dimensions of Nautanki, a highly popular folk performance tradition in rural north India. It explores how Nautanki creates participatory dialogue, builds community, and opens up possibilities for social change in rural India. It also tries to understand the position of Nautanki as a traditional folk form in a continuously changing global world. This research uses Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of performance as carnival and Dwight Conquergood’s notion of performance as an alternative to textocentrism to understand Nautanki as a community folk form and an expression of ordinary rural Indian culture. The research employed reflexive and native ethnographic methods. The author, himself a Nautanki artist, used his dual position as a performer-scholar to understand Nautanki’s role in rural communities. Specifically, the method included observation of participation and in-depth interviews with Nautanki performers, writers, troupe managers, owners, their clients, and audience members in the field.
