CPRACSIS International Conference
in association with the
 University of Madras
February 1 & 2, 2011
Tholakappiar Campus (Main Campus), Madras University, Chepauk, Chennai, India

Contextualising the ‘Contemporary’ in Culture

‘Contemporary’ is widely perceived as a pre-given conceptual category. The paradigm shift effected by ‘contemporary’ intellectual introgressions and art practices has evinced that the notion of contemporaneity is a contested domain.  The ‘Contemporary’ is formulated and perpetuated through the sedimentation of multifarious dynamics of culture, history, power, geography, movements, politics,
and epistemes.

The international conference, Contextualizing the ‘Contemporary’ in Culture inquires into the evolution and sustenance of ‘the contemporary’ in Art, Performance, Film, Music, Architecture, Media and Lifestyle. This conference attempts to explore the notion through the broad frameworks of:
      1.            Metro-scapes: City and Imagination
      2.            Peripheral Aesthetics: The rise of the suburban and the new
      3.            The liminal space: Small town/rural
      4.            The shifting pedagogies
      5.            Art preservation, transmission and dissemination
      6.            Managing ‘the contemporary’
      7.            Histories and the future: Defining ‘the contemporary’
      8.            Digital imagination
      9.            Virtuality of the contemporary
  10.            The popular versus the contemporary

C PRACSIS attempts to raise questions regarding these areas — questions not being confined to disciplinary boundaries — with an international conference to be convened at Chennai, India entitled “Contextualising the ‘Contemporary’ in Culture” On February 1 & 2, 2011 at the Tholakappiar Campus (Main Campus), Madras University, Chepauk under the auspices of the University of Madras.

The proposed international conference features keynote addresses by Arjun Appadurai (Senior Advisor for Global Initiatives & Distinguished Professorship as the John Dewey Professor in the Social Sciences at The New School in New York City), Howard Caygill (Professor of Cultural History at Goldsmiths College, University of London), and Kancha Ilaiah (Chairman of the Political Science department at Osmania University).

The Centre for Performance Research and Cultural Studies in South Asia [C PRACSIS; /si:praksiz/] is a non-profit organization located in India, supported by an international academic community <www.cpracsis.org>. The host of the conference, the University of Madras, has an unparalleled history of 152 years in disseminating and imparting knowledge <www.unom.ac.in>. The co-ordinating department, the department of English was established in 1969.
