Multiple Dimensions of South Asian Literary Imagination: Classic to Contemporary
September 10 – 12, 2020
Last Date to Submit Abstract:
South Asia has a history of great literary achievement, known for its material splendor and high intellectual achievement with a sweep from classical to modern writing. South Asian Literature offers a kaleidoscope of perceptions, human experiences and feelings, reflecting myriad realities. The worlds visible through this literary window are widely varied ranging from historical to modern settings with stories set in diverse regions using various literary techniques. South Asian writing at its height in poetry and fiction are steeped in history and myths as well as disintegration of old life-styles and values to expose the urbanized ways such as political upheavals, uprooting, wars, the loss of land, strife, struggle and moral ambiguities. This conference is an effort to provide participants with opportunities to discuss the multifarious dimensions of South Asian Studies.
