This workshop maps the multi-facetted and dynamic field of visual culture with its diverse traditions and innovative potential in India and South Asia. It traces the development of various media - while keeping in mind the interfaces or intervisuality in the ocular space. Simultaneously, motives, strategies and approaches of the producers as well as consumers are highlighted and visual cultures are explored in relation to themes such as nationalism; gender, family and kin; urban and rural images, religion or diaspora and transnational flows.

Speakers include:

Malavika Karlekar (Centre for Women's Development Studies, New Delhi) - keynote
Roma Chatterji (Department of Sociology, Delhi University)
Daniel J. Rycroft (School of World Art Studies, University of East Anglia, Norwich)
Nicolas Jaoul (Le Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) Paris)
Rita Brara (Department of Sociology, Delhi University)
Nirmal Kumar (Sri Venkateswara College, Delhi University)
Manuela Ciotti (Department of Culture and Society, Aarhus University)

and many others.
