PANEL 1: HISTORY AND ART

PANEL 2 THE POLITICS OF THE BODY
– How did the West come to embody radically changing attitudes towards dress while in India, traditional dress codes remained the norm? Was this because of highly differentiated attitudes towards the body? Or a need to differentiate towards the West?
– How have attitudes towards love and sex changed the way we present the body in public, and how has this played out in India?
– Does a differing understanding of the body explain the political furore over the covering of women’s bodies which sometimes divides East and West (or those within the West whose cultural references remain Eastern)?
– How have Indians themselves used body exposure to shock the West in its time? (Gandhi etc.)

ASHIS NANDY
Ashis Nandy’s work is defined by oscillations between two diametrically opposite domains of social existence—human potentialities or creativity and human destructiveness. Even his ongoing study of genocide in South Asia emphasises not only on human destructiveness but also on the resistance offered by ordinary people to organised mass violence and ethnonationalism. This has brought him close to movements and non-state actors grappling with issues of nonviolence, environment, and cultural survival and has forced him to gatecrash into areas such as future studies, postdevelopmental visions, cities of the mind, and psychobiography of nation-states. It has also forced him to allow his work to be contaminated by the categories that emerge from—or could be built upon—vernacular subjectivities.
His books include Alternative Sciences, At the Edge of Psychology, The Intimate Enemy, The Illegitimacy of Nationalism, The Tao of Cricket, The Savage Freud and Other Essays on Possible and Retrievable Selves, An Ambiguous Journey to the City, The Romance of the State, Time Warps, Time Treks, Bonfire of Creeds and Traditions, Tyranny and Utopias. His recent publications are Ashis Nandy Reader and Regimes of Narcissism, Regimes of Despair.
Nandy is presently a Distinguished Fellow of the Centre for the Study of Developing Studies and the Institute of Postcolonial Studies.
