A MAGIC VENUE : ISTANBUL

In addition to your professional experience in SOCIOINT 2016, you will be able to enjoy one of the most impressive cities in the world, Istanbul, unique for its culture, historical and artistic richness, cultural and musical events of all kinds, lovely weather in autumn and tasty gastronomy.

Istanbul is one of the world's great cities famous for its historical monuments and magnificent scenic beauties. It is the only city in the world which spreads over two continents: it lies at a point where Asia and Europe are separated by a narrow strait - the Bosphorus. Istanbul has a history of over 2,500 years, and ever since its establishment on this strategic junction of lands and seas, the city has been a crucial trade center.

We look forward to seeing you in Istanbul

Conference theme
Conflicting Ideologies and Cultural Mediation
– Hearing, Interpreting, Translating Global Voices
The Asian Translation Traditions series started at SOAS in 2004 as a workshop, since followed by regular conferences. It has greatly contributed to raising awareness of different views on translation theory and practice and to shaping non-Western Translation Studies.
After more than a decade it is time to take stock, to ask what has been achieved and where yet-untapped opportunities lie.
Recently we have witnessed increasing ideological conflict among and within societies. ATT8 asks whether and how translation can help mediate between ideologies and contribute to constructive dialogue among cultures.
Over two thousand languages are spoken in Asia, and its peoples have different value systems, beliefs and customs.Translation therefore plays a crucial role in letting people hear and understand each other’s voices and in making dialogue possible.
At the same time, it is now well established that translators manipulate the ‘original’ (including utterances) and intervene in translations for their own reasons. These can include conscious and internalized agendas relating to gender, post-colonial, or other political issues.
While discussing conflicting ideologies and cultural mediation at this conference, we also seek to promote development of translation theories based on Asian practices in order to contribute to the development of global Translation Studies.


Examples of indicative session themes
Localization vs globalization of translation theories and practices
Translation for mediation and dialogue
Translation of orality, oral narratives, or oral literature
Translation of endangered and minority languages
Gendered and subaltern voices in translation
Colonial and post-colonial contexts of translation
Circulation of translations within and beyond Asia
World literature and translation
Conflict and trauma as mediated through translation
Translation of ancient/modern religious texts
Current and historical translation and adaptation of performances
Asian popular culture in translation (e.g. Bollywood, video games, anime, manga)

Rethinking Interdisciplinarity: Bridging the Rift

Workshop on the Interface of the Sciences & the Humanities
When | 18-19 May 2016
Where | The National Institute of Technology, Silchar
With the increasing formalization of knowledge, higher education and pedagogy have inherited a separation between the study of the ‘natural worlds’ (Naturwissenchaften), which is material/biotic, and that of the ‘world of humans’ (Sozial/Geistes-wissenchaften). As a result, these two domains have developed as two insulated and divorced bodies of knowledge systems. Again, the ‘natural world’ is further separated into natural sciences and technology, while the ‘world of humans’ diverge into humanities and the social sciences. However, this natural/human science binary, and more generally speaking, the dyadic logic in the taxonomy of knowledge system are typical products of post-Enlightenment/ Rationalist Western modernity (cf. Descartes, Kant) and have no resonance whatsoever in the context of the ‘pre-modern’ non-West (say, for example, Greece, Persia, Arab, India). How we study our world is often grounded in systems of values and beliefs emergent from our dispositions. Family structure, religion, state politics, economics, social class etc. among other things shape these systems of value, the very ‘paradigms’ upon which choose our objects and frame our methods of inquiries. The point, therefore, is to re-visit and understand these separations, rather the premise upon which these separations are valued, and situate them in history and context, and in so doing, rethink how this new (interdisciplinary) understanding may contribute towards transforming how we perceive the world, not as a fractured entity but as an organic whole.


Invoking ‘modern’ Science’s reliance on non-empirical/’fictional’ stuff – think of, say, the String Theory among others – the workshop questions the fundamental value system that renders possible the divorce between the Sciences & the Humanities based on dyadic values. The fact/value, analytical/perceptive, objective/subjective, nature/culture binaries retain the disciplinary separation, although these obscure a holistic vision toward an(y) ‘object of study’. The workshop intends to probe into issues of subjectivity and social constructivism in the Sciences (cf. Poincare), and in light of the separatist worldview in the realm of pedagogy, insist on the need for a genuinely integrationist model instead.
Prof. Sasheej Hegde, University of Hyderabad and Dr. Esha Shah, ex-faculty Maastricht University, Netherlands have generously agreed to serve as resource persons for the workshop. We invite submission of abstracts, not exceeding 300 words, relevant to the theme of the workshop. The following pointers, which are by no means exhaustive, might help you frame the abstract.

• Scientific Fiction & Literary Reality (cf. Sundar Sarukkai)
• Alternative Sciences (cf. Ashis Nandy)
• Science, Technology & Augmented Reality
• Historicism in Science & Techno-determinism
• Science as Narrative
• Science, State & Ideology
• Mathematicization of Science/Technology
• Models and Reductionism
• Science/Technology & the Anthropocene

Abstracts should be sent to interdisciplinarity.nits@gmail.com by 28 March 2016 with the subject heading ‘Abstract for the Interdisciplinarity Workshop’. Authors of the selected abstracts ONLY will be notified by 5 April 2016. The venue for the workshop is NIT Silchar. The institute will not be able to offer accommodation for or travel support to the participants. However, select presenters may qualify for contributing to an edited anthology on the same theme. There is no registration fee for the workshop.
Non-presenters who want to participate/audit are very welcome and should send their expression of interest to interdisciplinarity.nits@gmail.com by 8 May 2016. Participation certificates will be issued to all participants (presenters and non-presenters alike).

Along with this, the Department also has important outreach activities like the annual National and International conference, World Theatre Day, Drama productions and presentation of Ballets and Music concerts.
Call for papers
Theatre research is and alwayshas been an interdisciplinary area of research. The present conference continuing this tradition would like to place the theatrical performances along with other performing arts such as Dance, Music (both vocal and instrumental) and its aesthetics in an interdisciplinary perspective by exploring its inter-linkages with aesthetics, polity, society and economy in terms of both chronos and topos. This dual axis of time and space would reveal the dynamics of change across culture in performing arts and its aesthetics.The conference aims to bring together scholars from both humanities and social sciences to reflect on the changing dynamics of theatre across the globe.
Like any other social/aestheticphenomenon, performing arts arealso a part and parcel of social realities.It depicts/sustains the social inequalities as well as political resistance against such inequalities. It is in this context that the performing arts come alive to people. Thus, as a creative art, performing artspush towards social change and tries to find space to reinvent the civic aptitude for a better future. Responding to the society, polity and economy around it, performing practices too have undergone a lot of changes,sometimes leaving long lasting changes, sometimes vanishing after a mere experiment. A holistic understanding of these changes/experiments is possible only bydrawing on the methodologies of other disciplines. We invite academicians/scholars from the humanities and beyond, and artists and performers working in different genres and media, to contribute to an interdisciplinary exploration of the ways in which creative production—whether scripted, improvised, devised, choreographed, or spontaneous—expands/alters the civic imagination and summonsand configures new understandings of public spaces.
The broad themes for presentations could be as follows:
o Performing Arts and Linguistic Nationalism
o Performing Arts and Nation, Caste, Gender
o Performing Arts and Sexual-minorities
o Public Spaces and Performances
o Question of Representation in/through Performing Arts
o Performing Arts and Multi-culture
o Performing Arts and Social change
o Changes in Performing Arts
o Dance and Theatre
o Music and Theatre
o Musical Play
o Dance Drama
o Fine Arts and Theatre
o Fusion of Various Arts
o History through Performing Arts
o History of Drama, Dance and Music
