International Conference on Children and Childhood: Imaginaries in Indian and Other Asian Literatures and Film

International Conference on Children and Childhood: Imaginaries in Indian and Other Asian Literatures and Film organised by The Department of English and Cultural Studies, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Bannerghatta Road Campus on 11-12 November 2021.

This international conference aims to reorient the locus of debate and discussion towards the Asian perspective with regard to children’s narratives.  It seeks to explore the diverse as well as local narratives of children and childhoods within the Asian context, in both theory and practice. It aims to give voice and visibility to the narratives for and about children from an Asian perspective, by understanding and questioning the representations within and outside the narratives; and to locate and problematize the matrices that polarise representations of children and childhoods, providing a pathway to engage with Indian and other Asian narratives for children and to radicalize the representation of children and childhoods in narrative imaginings and retellings.

Academic and research papers are invited from academicians, research scholars, UG and PG students who would like to present on aspects pertaining to children, childhoods and narratives for children.
