SUMMARY:Visual Art Colloquium\, Santhosh K Sakhinala\, Santiniketan
DESCRIPTION:Hyderabad was a Princely state ruled by the Nizam before its merger with the Indian Union after Independence. In the early 20th century\, when British India witnessed an upsurge of anti-colonial nationalism\, leading to the freedom movement\, Hyderabad witnessed a different modernisation and the transformation of society. Nizam’s government established several cultural and educational institutions\, while its administration and bureaucracy underwent significant structural changes by negotiating with the British. The founding of the Department of Archaeology\, followed by a museum\, inception of the first vernacular medium Osmania University\, formation of the Department of Technical and Vocational Education\, and an art school were a few notable endeavours.  In outlining Hyderabad’s modernism\, The presentation will also propose to think through on the art school and the genealogy of ideas that motivated its formation in the early 20th century. It also proposes to think through the new approaches to craft making and the emergence of several modern visual languages involving Deccani cultural consciousness. \nSanthosh Sakhinala is an Assistant Professor of Art History at the Department of History of Art\, Kala Bhavana\, Visva-Bharati\, Santiniketan. His research focuses on art institutions and pedagogy\, Craft in India\, the history of modern Hyderabad\, and the politics of public statuary in India.

SUMMARY:EVS Colloquium | Aseem Shrivastava
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: The two prevailing frameworks in which the ecological crisis of the earth is understood are environmentalism and ecology. Environmentalism has proved limited\, often self-defeating\, because of its commitment to a technocratic approach. Ecology is indequate because its approach is dominated by science\, even when supplemented by the environmental humanities. Neither perspective questions the reigning cosmology of modernity which is at the cognitive and existential root of the precipitous crisis. On the contrary\, their problems arise precisely from the fact that they take it for granted. Ecosophy\, defined loosely by the Catalan-Keralite philosopher-theologian Raimon Panikkar\, as "the wisdom of the earth" does offer a critical perspective on the cosmology of modernity. His incisive critique of modernity will be discussed. My talk will then introduce some of the basic concepts that Ecosophy explores and builds upon: transnature\, species solipsism\, homo abstractus\, earth alienation\, and arrhythmia. In passing\, the related spiritual vision of Rabindranath Tagore will also be referred to.  \nBio: Aseem Shrivastava is a writer\, teacher and ecological thinker with a doctorate in Economics from the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. He currently teaches two courses on Global and Indian Ecosophy at Ashoka University. Aseem has taught at universities in India and the US. He also taught philosophy at Nordic College\, Norway (2001-05). He now works independently\, researching\, writing and lecturing nationally and internationally on issues associated with globalization and its multiple ecological and other impacts. He is the author (with Ashish Kothari) of the books Churning the Earth: The Making of Global India (Penguin Viking\, New Delhi\, 2012)\, and Prithvi Manthan (Rajkamal Prakashan\, New Delhi\, 2016) which offer critiques of\, and alternatives to\, India’s development strategy since 1947. Besides mentoring and guiding many students\, Aseem writes regularly for publications like The Hindu\, Deccan Herald\, Economic and Political Weekly\, Seminar\, Himal\, Caravan\, and Open magazine.
