H-ASIA December 30, 2013 Call for papers: "India in other Literatures", University of Delhi, Department of German and Romance Studies, March 6-8, 2014 ******************************************************************* From: H-Net Announcements <announce@MAIL.H-NET.MSU.EDU> India in other Literatures Location: India Call for Papers Date: 2014-01-10 (in 11 days) Date Submitted: 2013-12-01 Announcement ID: 209003 Title of the Seminar: India in other Literatures Date: March 6-8, 2014 Venue: Department of Germanic and Romance Studies, University of Delhi, New Delhi We invite papers on a seminar on India in other Literatures. We will address questions on how writers with multiple cross purposes negotiate in a terrain that is historically mined with power relations. Has the portrayal of cultural difference abandoned essence and environment for global mutuality? Has the Eurocentric surveillance gaze given way to the stereoscopic? The limitations of the Orientalist discourse and its oppositions can best be studied if we include the precolonial period in our analytical time frame together with the colonial and post colonial. With a wider corpus of texts on India over time we hope to avoid the pitfalls of categories and typologies of cultures.
