Działania realizowane w ramach Narodowego Programu Rozwoju Czytelnictwa 1. Dyskusyjne Kluby Książki a) Program dotacyjny W 2014 roku, w związku z koniecznością dostosowania regulaminu DKK do regulaminów programów ministra (w kontekście włączenia DKK do Narodowego Programu Rozwoju Czytelnictwa) i długim czasem oczekiwania na akceptację regulaminu, program Dyskusyjne Kluby Książki ruszył z opóźnieniem. Umowy zostały podpisane dopiero 14 maja br., zaś pierwsza transza została wypłacona bibliotekom wojewódzkim z początkiem czerwca br. Do końca roku liczba klubów wzrosła do 1295, tj. o 108 w stosunku do końca 2013 roku. Przyrost o ok. 100 klubów rocznie utrzymuje się zresztą na stałym poziomie od kilku lat. Działa 419 klubów dla dzieci i młodzieży, 876 dla dorosłych. Istnieją kluby dla osób niepełnosprawnych intelektualnie, 7 klubów w zakładach karnych. W 2014 roku kluby spotkały się 11 296 razy, skupiają obecnie 13 153 stałych członków.

  • Profile Department of English& Culture Studies the University Of
    Profile Department of English& Culture Studies The University of Burdwan About the Department: The Department of English, an integral part of the University of Burdwan since its inception in 1960 is poised at an interface of tradition and contemporaneity, as envisioned by the change of nomenclature into Department of English and Culture Studies in 2014. The Department has, over the time, evolved into a dynamic space for innovations in syllabus and research activities. Starting off with a conventional mould in course structure, the Department of English and Culture Studies, in keeping with the needs of a rapidly changing world, has gradually incorporated new components such as Comparative Literature, American Literature, Australian Literature, Canadian Literature, Translation Studies, Dalit Studies and Popular Culture. The Department has been offering and supervising PhD. Programme since its inception; the M.Phil Course was initiated in 1990. The Departmental journal is annually published since 1984. Since 1993, faculty improvement programmes, such as Refresher Course, are facilitated by the Department in collaboration with the University Academic Staff College. Since 2010, the Department has been continuing with the unique enterprise of organizing Young Researchers’ National conference, with the aim of providing an intellectual space for young researchers to discuss and disseminate their research activities. In 1997, Australian Literature Study Centre was established, which was renamed Centre for Australian Studies in 2003. In 2011, the department received UGC assistance at the level of DRS – I for the project titled “Reconstructing the Cultural Map: Literatures in English in Asia and the Asia Pacific”.This project does not obviously engulf the whole of Asia and the Asia Pacific; rather the thrust is on those areas of Asia and the Asia Pacific where literatures in English have emerged as a distinctive literary and cultural form.

  • Remembering the Bengali Contribution During the First World War Page 1 of 3
    South Asia @ LSE: Remembering the Bengali contribution during the First World War Page 1 of 3 Remembering the Bengali contribution during the First World War The First World War seems to be part of a distant past for most Bengalis, with the new generation of UK’s Bengali diaspora being left out of the nation’s collective memorialisation. A more inclusive remembrance of the First World War is required to address this, writes Ansar Ahmed Ullah, who recalls Bengal’s contribution during World War One. At present the UK is commemorating the Centenary of the end of the First World War. This research, supported by Big Ideas and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) is part of ‘The Unremembered’, a project commemorating the bravery and sacrifice of the Labour Corps throughout the First World War during which the Indian army provided the largest volunteer army in the world. During the War Britain had called on its Empire and 1.5 million Indian soldiers and 1.3 million Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders and South Africans fought on the allied side. For many memories of the war are kept alive either through their own family history and local communities. Because of its long-term impact on society and the world we live in today, nations, communities and individuals across the world have for the last three years come together to mark, commemorate and remember the lives of those who lived, fought and died in the First World War. The UK Bengali community however, seems to be indifferent towards the commemoration.

  • Modi, Social Media, and Competitive Electoral Populism in India
    International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 4158–4180 1932–8036/20170005 Fragile Hegemony: Modi, Social Media, and Competitive Electoral Populism in India SUBIR SINHA1 School of Oriental and African Studies, London, UK Direct and unmediated communication between the leader and the people defines and constitutes populism. I examine how social media, and communicative practices typical to it, function as sites and modes for constituting competing models of the leader, the people, and their relationship in contemporary Indian politics. Social media was mobilized for creating a parliamentary majority for Narendra Modi, who dominated this terrain and whose campaign mastered the use of different platforms to access and enroll diverse social groups into a winning coalition behind his claims to a “developmental sovereignty” ratified by “the people.” Following his victory, other parties and political formations have established substantial presence on these platforms. I examine emerging strategies of using social media to criticize and satirize Modi and offering alternative leader-people relations, thus democratizing social media. Practices of critique and its dissemination suggest the outlines of possible “counterpeople” available for enrollment in populism’s future forms. I conclude with remarks about the connection between activated citizens on social media and the fragility of hegemony in the domain of politics more generally. Keywords: Modi, populism, Twitter, WhatsApp, social media On January 24, 2017, India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), proudly tweeted that Narendra Modi, its iconic prime minister of India, had become “the world’s most followed leader on social media” (see Figure 1). Modi’s management of—and dominance over—media and social media was a key factor contributing to his convincing win in the 2014 general election, when he led his party to a parliamentary majority, winning 31% of the votes cast.
