> This symposium invites papers that explore yogas histories, meanings,

> Twenty years ago, yoga was largely understood as a monolithic and
> unchanging tradition. While today we have a far richer understanding of
> yogas historical transformations and trans-sectarian manifestations,
> visual culture ranging from sectarian, court and popular imagery to
> architecture and photography -- remains the least tapped of archival
> resources.
>
> Preference will be given to papers that foreground the potential of visual
> culture to historicize aspects of yoga over the last two millennia. We
> welcome proposals that examine yogic constructs (e.g. embodiment, guru,
> philosophical traditions); illuminate social roles and perceptions of
> yogis (e.g. militant ascetics); interrogate text-driven or
> anthropologically-based perspectives on yoga, or provide new insights into
> regional, tran-sectarian, or chronological transformations.
>
> Scholars from all disciplines are encouraged to submit proposals for
> 30-minute papers meant for both scholars and general audiences. The
> symposium will be webcast. Travel, hotel and per diem funds will be
> provided.

Bagali – A Town in Oblivion

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 10:36 AM PST

Bagali – It would be hard to explain and understand that how a village, which remained a center of attraction almost for about six centuries, lost its glory and went into oblivion. Bagali narrates its story in about forty-five odd inscriptions spanning across six centuries and four great dynasties, though at present it has been reduced to a small village. The earliest inscription found here is of the early ninth century CE pertaining to the times of the Rashtrakutas. Later inscriptions are of the Chalukyas of Kalyana, Hoysalas and Vijayanagara rulers. Bagali is referred as Balaguli in inscriptions. Though most...

> The Centre of South Asian Studies, University of Cambridge, and the Centre
> for Research in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (CRASSH) are
> organising the first international conference on 'Exploring modern South
> Asian history with visual research methods: theories and practices'.
>
> This conference aims to investigate the ways in which visual research
> methods support the development of new perspectives on modern South Asian
> history. It will explore the strategies employed by historians and
> scholars of visual (digital) culture, film and visual anthropology when
> incorporating representations of South Asian history within the framework
> of traditional historical scholarship. Also, the role of interdisciplinary
> research in terms of producing, distributing, re-interpreting and
> repatriating visual records of South Asian history will be assessed
> throughout several roundtable discussions.
>
> The conference will create for the first time the opportunity to
> strengthen the network of historians, anthropologists, visual and digital
> scholars and artists concerned with the re-examination of modern South
> Asian history across visual records. It proposes four themes of
> investigation that will support new scholarly developments:
>
> ▪ digital humanities and issues of South Asian history, visuality
> and ethnographic enquiry
> ▪ theories of visual anthropology relevant to historiographical
> research of South Asia
> ▪ examples of historical scholarship strengthened by visual research
> methodologies
> ▪ historical and anthropological practices replicated in visual
> artwork inspired by South Asian history
>
> Keynote addresses will be delivered by Professor Marcus Banks (University
> of Oxford) and by Professor Christopher Pinney (University College
> London). Papers, panels and roundtable discussions led by international
> scholars such as Professor Denis Vidal (École des Hautes Études en
> Sciences Sociales, Paris), Dr Clare Harris (University of Oxford) and
> Professor Ravi Vasudevan (CSDS, Delhi) will explore new perspectives on
> visual research methods and modern South Asian history. Also, there will
> be three exclusive presentations by the renowned visual artists Pushpamala
> N., Rajkamal Kahlon and Ayisha Abraham. The opening address will be
> delivered by Professor Sir C.A. Bayly, Director of the Centre of South
> Asian Studies.
>
> Location: CRASSH, Alison Richard Building, 7 West Road, Cambridge CB3 9DT.
