Manly Matters

Representations of Maleness in South Asian Popular Visual Practice


Call for Papers

Tasveerghar: A Digital Network of South Asian Popular Visual Culture (www.tasveerghar.net) is proud to launch our new project titled “Manly Matters: Iconographies of the Masculine in South Asian Visual Culture.”

We invite proposals from scholars and researchers who wish to write a 5000-word “image essay” on a topic connected with this theme. We provide below our own vision statement but are also open to other ideas and topics. Preference will be given in the selection of the final essays to those that pertain especially to the under-represented regions of South Asia in the study of visual culture (Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka), and to early career scholars and researchers. These image essays will be featured on the website for Tasveer Ghar, and our in-house designer Yousuf Saeed will work with each author to create the final product.

The deadline for submission of a 250-word abstract is January 15, 2017. We also request a sample portfolio of 5-10 images, and a timeline for submission. Authors of successful proposals will receive an honorarium of USD $250 (to be paid on the submission of the completed image essay), and access to Tasveerghar’s database of digitized images from the Priya Paul Collection, New Delhi.

For samples of image essays, please visit our website at www.tasveerghar.net. Typically an online visual essay on Tasveer Ghar is spread over several pages with thumbnails of images at appropriate places/paragraphs. By clicking on thumbnails you can visit the larger-sized pictures with detailed captions that are arranged in the accompanying “image gallery.” Thus, your final essay could be divided into sections or pages for web design purposes. We would ideally need thick captions about each image, besides information about its source/credit. We expect each contributor to secure permission for the use of images for this project/publication. Tasveer Ghar shall not be responsible for any copyright violation.


Our Vision Statement:

Manly Matters seeks to move the focus of pictorial analysis to representations of maleness—both spectacular and mundane—as it proliferates in South Asian popular visual practice, especially in printed images produced for the mass market. At first blush, it may seem regressive to attend to men, given that they have been the very stuff of our scholarship for many decades as feminist critiques have so valuably demonstrated. It is however the case that in the scholarship on South Asian visual culture over the past two decades, with the possible exception of cinema studies, little or no attention has been paid to masculinity as problematic or presence, the category of “gender” frequently being read entirely as “female” and as “woman.”1 Consequently, the male qua male has been taken as a given, glossed over as gendered subject, and hence paradoxically rendered invisible, even while being everywhere and across various media. There is indeed “a curious timidity when it comes to male images” that is widespread in the study of South Asian visual culture.2 As Todd Reeser writes in a recent assessment of the state of masculinity studies more generally, “One of the recurring features of masculinity—as opposed to femininity—is that men go to great pain to hide it and, by extension to hide the way that it functions and operates. Hiding can allow masculinity to function without challenge or question.”3 This project pushes back against such attempts at “hiding.” Overcoming our customary “timidity,” we call to place men on full display and at the center of our visual analysis, as we consider a range of activities with which men are typically associated—like farming or soldiering— but also those that might surprise us and that challenge our normative assumptions, such as picnicking or child-rearing. In so doing, we denaturalize assumptions about how men display themselves and are displayed in pictorial regimes, and destabilize prevailing stereotypes about manliness and masculinity more generally. We also push back against an easy, even universal, binary which associates the man with mind and the woman with her body, especially so in studies of visual culture and practices of the region. In contrast, we seek to bring the male body back in as a primary object of pictorial concern, and our visual attention.


There is no single—or singular—way in which men “look” in modern South Asia. All the same, we are keen to consider if certain somatic markers—such as the moustache, to invoke one instance—or activities or livelihoods are paradigmatically distinctive within the range of masculinities that circulate, including the feminized masculine, in the South Asian modern. Masculinity is intuitively associated with muscular power and virile strength, but are there are also contexts in which men appear vulnerable and fragile? Beauty has generally been associated with the female figure, but have artists across the region also attempted to produce the beautiful male form, and if so, what is the male beau ideal and how does it change over time and across ideologies? Not least, we ask which sectors of society are invested in producing a particular masculine ideal, and who is looking at men as they put themselves on display or are displayed, sartorially and somatically? How indeed have men engaged with images about themselves, as Kajri Jain asks to consider?4

Even while we wish to attend to a range of masculine types from the spiritual and the religious to the sportsman and the soldier, the farmer and the “five year plan hero,”5 to name the obvious, a particular concern of the project is with the male political leader, especially men widely regarded as the founding father of the nation, be they Gandhi or Nehru of India, Iqbal and Jinnah in Pakistan, or Mujibur Rahman of Bangladesh. Rivaling father figures such as Ambedkar and Prabhakaran are also of interest. How have these flesh-and-blood men been transformed through the work of images and image-events into globally recognizable “bio-icons”? We borrow the concept of bio-icon from literary theorist Bishnupriya Ghosh for whom bio-icons are lives that have become the focus of visual and media saturation as social demands are placed on them. Ghosh’s analysis takes on female “bio-icons” such as Phoolan Devi, Mother Teresa, and Arundhati Roy.6 We wish to extend her analysis to iconic male bodies in order to demonstrate that the visual appearance and look of these men is critical to both nation building as well as their exercise of power and the cultivation of charisma. In pivoting thus from text to image, from words to pictures, how do things and matters hitherto hidden become visible and apparent? This too is one of our critical questions.

About us:

The project will be carried out under the joint leadership of Christiane Brosius, Sumathi Ramaswamy, and Yousuf Saeed, the co-founders and coordinators of Tasveer Ghar. It is funded by the Anneliese Maier Research Award granted in 2016 to Sumathi Ramaswamy by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Germany.

"First of all I would like to take this opportunity to thank the officers and organizers of this event. I believe that conferences such as this are very timely and significant because this will be instrumental in addressing one of the grayest problems of our universities and colleges; as mentioned by local and international accreditors, among the 3 main functions of academic institutions the area of research is the weakest. I’m confident that your association is a very potent force to improve the research component of university. I look forward to joining your organization in the near future. More power, and keep up the good work."
"The international conference was very successful. Every conference the participants and presenters are increasing. Everyone learned a lot from the presentations. I hope I could be part or member of your organization. Thank you and more power."

16th International Conference on Translation
Crystal Crown Hotel, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia from the 8 – 10th of August, 2017. 


The International Conference on Translation (PPA) is a bi-annual conference, which was first held in 1984 through the initiatives of the Malaysian Translators Association (MTA) and the Institute of Language and Literature (DBP). PPA came to being owing to the awareness that translation is an indispensable communication medium in knowledge transfer, and therefore contributes significantly to a nation’s development.

This 16th International Translation Conference will be held at Crystal Crown Hotel, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia from the 8 – 10th of August, 2017. The Faculty of Languages and Linguistics and the Academy of Malay Studies, University of Malaya will co-host this conference with the support of the following co-organizers: Malaysian Translators Association (MTA), Malaysian Institute of Translation and Books (ITBM), the Institute of Language and Literature (DBP) and Perbadanan Kota Buku (PKB).

The 16th International Conference on Translation aims to:

  • inspire intellectual and professional discourse, with the aim to explore current theories, techniques, issues, perspectives, practices, research and accreditation in the translation field.
  • enhance the cooperation and collaboration between translator scholars and students of Translation Studies and  practitioners in the translation industry. 
  • consolidate translator training and reinforce the synergy of training in real professional settings.
  • intensify the awareness among all participants in the translation service of the value of translation in a society.
THE VALUE OF TRANSLATION IN SOCIETY
This conference focuses on the value of translation by looking at how it facilitates intra-, inter- and cross-cultural communication between diverse social groups, and how it addresses the social needs of a complex society. Through the sharing of knowledge, we hope to bring to the fore the value of translation by discussing related issues with the aim of contributing to translation research in a variety of fields, such as Business, Culture, Education, Science, and Technology. 


The sub-themes include, but are not limited to:
1.    Translation and culture
2.    Translation and economy
3.    Translation and ethics
