SUMMARY:VISUAL ARTS COLLOQUIUM SERIES \'24-25
DESCRIPTION:The DEPARTMENT OF VISUAL ARTS in collaboration with the DEPARTMENT OF CREATIVE WRITING\,  \ncordially invites you to the first colloquium in VISUAL ARTS COLLOQUIUM SERIES '24-25 \nDate- September 25\, 2024 (Wednesday) \nTime: 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM \nVenue: AC04-310 \nTitle of the Talk: “Visualizing Stories with Suddhasattwa Basu” \nAbstract: Renowned children's book illustrator Suddhasattwa Basu will delve into the critical role of illustration in enhancing narrative comprehension and engagement. On how illustrations can breathe life into narratives\, making characters leap off the page and enchanting readers of all ages. Through engaging examples and interactive discussions\, Basu will share techniques behind transforming words into vivid imagery. With illustrations from his large body of work\, Basu will discuss the cognitive impact of visual storytelling and its implications for literary education. This colloquium aims to provide scholars with a deeper understanding of how illustrations can transform narratives\, fostering both critical thinking and creative expression in their own storytelling endeavours.  \nBio of Speaker: As a prolific painter\, illustrator and animator for more than fifty years\, Suddhasattwa Basu has had a huge influence on children’s literature in India. His work was crucial in shaping the development of children’s publishing in the English language at a time when it was still in its nascent stage. In the 1980s\, Basu made significant contributions to the iconic children’s magazine\, Target\, and later\, to the magazine Tamasha. He has illustrated more than sixty books for several leading and many independent publishers in Asia. He has also written and illustrated his own stories\, displaying a deep understanding of the play between text and visuals. Suddhasattwa Basu is versatile\, both with themes and media\, and has worked in pen and ink\, water colours\, printmaking techniques and animation. He manages to skilfully move between diverse genres and styles. It is this easy versatility that sets Basu apart from many illustrators practising in India today. \nSuddhasattwa Basu has set a very high benchmark for young practitioners of illustration and his dedication to his craft is a huge inspiration for those aspiring to illustrate children’s books in India. \nWe look forward to your active participation.

SUMMARY:Economics Department Weekly Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Dear All\, \nThe Department of Economics invites you to their weekly seminar on Wednesday\, September 25th\, 2024. \nTime: 1:40 PM to 2:50 PM \nVenue: AC04-LR-301 \nSpeaker:  Abhimanyu Khan \nTitle: "Stable cartel configurations and product differentiation: The case of multiple cartels" (co-authored with Ronald Peeters\, University of Otago) \nAbstract: We develop a framework to analyse stable cartelisation when firms can form multiple cartels. This contrasts with the existing literature which generally assumes\, without further justification\, that at most one cartel may form. We define cartelisation to be stable in the multiple cartels framework if: (i) a firm in a cartel does not find it more profitable to leave the cartel and operate independently\, (ii) a firm that operates independently does not find it more profitable to join an existing cartel\, (iii) a firm in a cartel does not find it more profitable to join another existing cartel or form a new cartel with an independent firm\, and (iv) two independent firms do not find it more profitable to form a new cartel. In the context of quantity competition in differentiated markets\, we show that a single cartel is never stable whenever multiple cartels may be formed. We completely characterise the stable cartelisation structure – there is at most one firm that is not a part of any cartel while each of the remaining firms is part of a two-firm cartel. The implication for competition policy is that efforts towards the detection of cartels should also be directed at smaller cartels that may operate in less concentrated markets rather than only on large dominant cartels in concentrated markets. \nWe look forward to having you with us. \n– \nRegards \nDepartment of Economics \nAshoka University \nWeb: www.ashoka.edu.in \n
