EST148 - THE OCEANS IN CINEMA: A BLUE HUMANITIES READING (2023 Batch)
Total Teaching Hours for Semester:45
No of Lecture Hours/Week:3
Max Marks:100
Credits:3
Course Objectives/Course Description
Moving from land to ocean marks a shift in our understanding with fluidity as the focal point. ‘Blue Humanities’ or ‘Blue Cultural Studies’ uses the ocean as the lens to foreground diverse historical, social, cultural, economic and political aspects. The expansive field of Blue Humanities adopts a multidisciplinary approach, weaving together insights from environmental studies, oceanography, marine studies, cultural studies, film studies, history, etc. The course specifically focuses on revisiting the cliched conceptualization of the ocean as vast, alien, terra nullis and ahistorical. The ‘Oceanic Turn’ transitions from the surface to the depths below to explore the three-dimensional ocean through socio-cultural representations. Reading the ocean and the sea through cinema from across the world will help understand how the ocean is portrayed in myriad ways ‘foregrounding and problematizing issues connected to gender, race, pollution, social justice, maritime activities, privatization, globalization, capitalism ontologies’ to revisit our established thought regimes.
Course Outcome
CO1: ? Appreciate and interpret the ocean in the light of Blue Humanities
CO2: ? Analyze and understand the changing relationships between societies and the ocean through the cinematic representations
CO3: ? Rethink and initiate action towards oceanic thinking and sustainability
Unit-1
Teaching Hours:12
Knowing the Ocean: Re-visiting History and Origins
The unit will provide an alternative reading of our established understanding of ‘Origins’ with reference to the ocean – formation of the earth, the oceans, plants and animals and human beings. Destabilizing the pre-set reading of the formation of the world and prioritizing the land over the sea, the unit will help refocus the establishment of life in the Universe.

Mapping the Ocean: Reading through Blue Humanities
The unit will throw light on the field of Ecocriticism with specific focus on Blue Humanities and its emerging engagement with the oceans around the world.

Seeing the Ocean: Re-viewing the ocean through cinema
The unit will probe into pivotal aspects surrounding the construction of the ocean space through filmic representations of the ocean. The intent is to analyze through a range of issues informing the oceanic representations in films to unearth the pluri-focussed politics, both explicit and otherwise, manoeuvring through them - Maritime histories and activities, Aquatic world, Disasters, Conquests, Wars, Exploration, Adventure, Folk Tales and Myths, Colonialism and Postcolonialism, Gender, Race, Capitalism, International Relations, Globalization, Ecology and Medical Humanities.

EST150 - GENDER AND POPULAR CULTURE (2023 Batch)
Total Teaching Hours for Semester:45
No of Lecture Hours/Week:3
Max Marks:50
Credits:3
Course Objectives/Course Description
Course Description
Gender is accepted as a discourse which is constantly produced, performed and sustained by multiple narratives. Hegemonic ideologies are thus mapped onto the body and played out through continuous reinforcements. Popular Culture plays a significant role in perpetuating gender stereotypes, images of ideal bodies and normative forms of gender expression by way of legitimising what is “popular”, therefore acceptable. An interdisciplinary course in Gender and Popular Culture provides critical insights into who and what defines the popular on the one hand, while also underlining how Popular Culture itself becomes a resistant counter-narrative to hegemonic master narratives.
Course Objectives:
Define Popular Culture and outline its significance in Gender Studies with a historical overview
Underline the impact of performative elements of popular culture on the body, thereby on gender performativity
Help students recognize how hegemonic ideologies are narrativised through language, the gaze, and structural elements of the text/ media
Enable close inter-textual readings of gender in multiple popular culture narratives including fiction, oral and performance narratives, visual media such as film, television, advertisements and social media
Recognize Popular Culture as a counter-narrative and highlight elements of resistance through language, form and narrative technique
Course Outcome
CO 1: Enumerate ways in which popular culture impacts construction and performance of gender
CO 2: Identify elements in Popular Culture which normalize gender stereotypes and normative gender expression
CO 3: Map out significant counter-narratives of Gender which have emerged through Pop Culture in response to normative constructions of masculinity, femininity and queer

LAW150C - CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND HUMAN RIGHTS (2023 Batch)
Total Teaching Hours for Semester:45
No of Lecture Hours/Week:3
Max Marks:100
Credits:3
Course Objectives/Course Description
Corporate Social Responsibility or CSR, as it is popularly referred to, is a combination of ethical, philanthropic, legal and economic responsibilities of a corporate organization towards the social transformation by addressing the social issues in collaboration with Government and NGOs. The corporate entities are more into profit making business and in this race, they often forget that their activities are causing harm to and not protecting the environment as well as human rights of the people.
This course, thus, has been specifically designed for the non-law people. It aims to address the linkages between the corporate and the human rights in the form of CSR. It critically analyses one significant question – whether the issues of human rights should be addressed by the corporate sector mandatorily or voluntarily, in different social contexts? The strengths and weaknesses of the CSR initiatives in India and other countries are analysed. Also, the international commitments, with special reference to the role of United Nations are seen.
Course Outcome
CO1: The students will be able to understand the meaning and origin of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and human rights and establish the linkage between the two.
CO2: The students will be able to understand the legal regime of CSR in India and its impact on protection of human rights.
CO3: The students will be able to analyze the CSR initiatives in India and the International commitments thereof, with special reference to the role played by the UN.
CO4: The students will be able to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the CSR initiatives in terms of promotion of Human rights, in India as well as globally.

Course Objectives/Course Description
Course Description:
The Department of Media Studies offers this course to introduce students from different disciplinary backgrounds to the world of signs, symbols, and icons. Besides, this course also aims to familiarise the students with the basic concepts and theories of visual culture. The visual in the forms of photographs, advertisements, and films shape our everyday experiences, so it becomes necessary to understand how these visuals could be deconstructed to identify literal, connotative, subjective, and metaphorical meanings. Further, this course will also explore the relationships among visual culture, digital media, and power. It will explore the analysis of specific visual texts and will reflect on understanding the larger cultural meanings assigned to the visual. The learning objectives are for students to develop the skills necessary to perform such critical analysis of visual texts and show an overall understanding of how the visual operates.
Course Outcomes/Objectives:
By the end of the course the learner will be able to:
·Understand the critical and theoretical concepts relating to visual culture.
·Demonstrate the process of meaning generation in visual media.
·Interpret the levels of meanings in any given visual text.
·Recognize the role of photographs, advertisements and films in contemporary visual culture.
·Apply the theories of visual culture to interpret visual media messages and understand their relation to power.

The course shall not have a regular CIA- MSE -ESE model. Instead, the student will be given a series of assignments spread across the semester, leading to a building up of a holistic understanding of visual culture and how different signs, symbols, and icons operate in our day-to-day world in creating larger societal realities and worldviews. The teaching facilitator will consider the level of intelligibility in the class and the learning needs of the students and decide what assignment to give regularly.
Sample Assignments:
●Summarising the four episodes of ‘Ways of Seeing’ by John Berger, and critically reflecting on the aspect of how in our day-to-day life it is contextual and relevant.
●Analyze an advertisement and present it to the class.
