SUMMARY:Mad Metaphors and Slippery Similarities: A search for an early \'Indian\' Art Theory
DESCRIPTION:Dear All\, \nThe Department of Visual Arts is delighted to invite you to the third colloquium in the Visual Arts Colloquium Series\, Spring 2026. \nTitle: Mad Metaphors and Slippery Similarities: A search for an early 'Indian' Art Theory \nSpeaker: Professor Parul Dave Mukherji\, Dean School of Arts and Aesthetics\, Jawaharlal Nehru University \nDate: Tuesday\, 17th March\, 2026 \nTime: 1: 30 PM \nVenue: Visual Art Studio (near sports block) \nAbstract:  \n A Search for Early Indian Art Theory via Anuká¹›tivāda or performative mimesis. \nThe lasting legacy of A. K. Coomaraswamy has shaped art historiography by molding the way we ‘see’ early Indian art and ‘hear’ the textual sources. Caught in these debates is the question of visual similarity which I argue is deeply cultural and historical. Moving between what art historian Whitney Davies terms as visibility (as images appear to us now) and visuality (as how images were seen in their time)\, I point towards an overlooked theory of Anuká¹›tivāda or performative mimesis.  Not only is this theory present in art treatises\, art practice (eg. Ajanta caves)\, Sanskrit plays\, poetry and poetics but made visible if artistic illusion and literary allusion are taken as inextricably linked. It entails a new way of seeing the overlooked and an ethics of listening to the sources. My paper concludes with contemporary resistance to Anuká¹›tivāda via what I call the Coomaraswamy effect and gestures towards decolonizing art history from the global south.  \nSpeaker’s Bio: Professor Parul Dave Mukherji\, Dean School of Arts and Aesthetics\, Jawaharlal Nehru University \n  \nWe look forward to your active participation in the talk. \n  \nWarm regards\, \nVisual Arts Department

SUMMARY:Synthesis\, sis: Demystify the Info Overload
DESCRIPTION:This workshop by the Centre of Writing and Communication introduces students to academic synthesis\, a method that builds transferable skills to actively process multiple texts in tandem\, and substantiate their argument. Focusing on simulating a student’s day-to-day study material\, including lectures\, reading texts\, and other secondary data\, it will prompt students to connect multimodal resources and move beyond summarising\, towards an original act of creation. Through a proposed framework that enables the recording\, analysing and interacting of sources\, the workshop attempts to train students to contend with the oft-overwhelming volume of study material while also enriching their own insights.
