    Enhancing the performance experience: application of design concepts of form, space and choreography in Indian dance theatre

    No full text
    The thesis revisits the key concepts of Indian dance based on the contemporary performance space by introducing design as an integral part of Indian dance, addressing these designs as symbolic or suggestive form (natyadharmi) and not as a realistic form (lokadharmi). In doing so, the thesis aims to explore the possibilities of further integrating design in dance so as to enhance performance experiences. The thesis argues that enhancements are a necessary development in order to express Indian dance in such an integrated way as to allow the “essence” of traditional Indian dance, its spirituality, to be maintained and enhanced. Expounding on theories of reception, to the extent where the performer is also configured as a receiver, the thesis demonstrates how the form and the formless are conceived by the performer and the receiver. The thesis also investigates how space transformation and choreography affect both the dance and the presentation. The thesis therefore emphasises on design as an important component to investigate how performance experience can be enhanced. It is conceived as a metaphor that develops ideas in dance and how it then creates other possibilities of interactions and communications. During research, the exploration of design and dance was conducted not only for intellectual inquiry but also to deal with the experience of performances, performers and audiences. To develop a mode of executing Indian dance, the thesis creates a perspective of seeing design and dance as metaphors. The thesis further analyses the concept of symbolic representation in space, time, form and movement, of which the thesis argues, Lord Nataraja as the ideal example of conceptual inspiration. As a theory of theatricality the thesis argues for the extent to which the value of a performance is enhanced through a shared experience. The experience is enhanced by the multiple design elements integrated within a performance, and directed to induce rasa in both the performer and the audience. Therefore by heightening the performance experience, Indian dance is reflected upon as a spiritual journey enhanced

    ROHINTON MISTRY AS A DIASPORIC AUTHOR

    No full text
    The writings of the Indian Diaspora have received a great deal of attention and critical acclaim throughout the world. Rohinton Mistry is a well renowned author in the contemporary commonwealth literature and occupies a significant place among the writers of Indian Diaspora. Even though he is settled in Canada; it is his upbringing in Mumbai that reflects in all his writings. The distinct Mumbai culture, particularly the Parsee way of life, the people of the city and even the politics of India are major themes in his novels. Rohinton Mistry as a writer of Diaspora has carved a niche for himself. His works such as: “Tales from Firozsha Baag”, “Such A Long Journey”, “A Fine Balance” and “Family Matters”;mark a new kind of writing, resulting from a fragmented, splintered world. As a Diasporic Parsi writer, very sensitively he has recalled his community’s journey through time and history with a sense of loss and nostalgia. His books portray diverse facets of Indian socioeconomic life; as well as Parsi Zoroastrian life, customs, and religion. Many of his writings are markedly “Indo-nostalgic”. Rohinton Mistry through his Diasporic discourse has well depicted his ancestral background, his community’s engaged situation in a metropolis like Bombay and his deep attachment with and nostalgia for a world gone by. In this paper an attempt has been made to delineate diasporic discourse in the works of Rohinton Mistry. Although he is obsessed with the colonial and postcolonial experiences in India, we can find some traces of Canada in his literature. His characters dream of being integrated into, and accepted by, Canadian society on the one hand and on the other hand, these same characters are torn by an insatiable desire to be true to their native culture; to honor and cherish their own, distinct cultural identity

    Author identification system

    Abstract: Every one of us has different approach to speak and write, and there exists a long history of linguistic and stylistic analysis into authorship attribution. In last year’s, practical application for author identification have grown in area such as computer forensic(linking intercepted message to each other and to find rebel), criminal law(identifying author of payoff notes and harassing letter), civil law and computer security (tracking author of computer source code). This paper proposes the implementation of author identification system. This proposed system is based upon the principles and concepts of text analysis. For ensuring maximum accuracy in identifying author of the document we will be using TF-IDF algorithm which consists of extraction of features from the text, scoring these features and comparing them with a set of scores stored in the corpus

    Abstract: Today when India is celebrating the 75 years of Independence – ‘Amrith Mahotsav’. It becomes matter of top concern to reflect upon the status of the measures taken to meet gender disparities in the country. Ever Since Independence India has reported massive advancement in research and technology, has witnessed massive economic growth. However, when it comes to Gender equalization – the statistics at international level reveal that quality efforts are lacking as is revealed from the report of GDI’ 2019(GDI ‘2019 – India ranked in group 5 as compared to most of the developed nation ranking in group 1 and 2) the World Economic Forum released a report on Gender Gap in 2011, according to which, the Gender Gap Index of India is 113 among 135 countries. To meet this challenge, consistent efforts have been made from diverse organizations at national level and world over. This article presents the initiatives taken to attain equity in gender bias at international, national and local levels. Keywords: Women, Equality, gender, organization, opportunities.

    Engendering global democracy

    No full text
    The inadequacies of hegemonic liberal democratic ideas and institutions have been exposed by feminist theorists focusing on the marginalisation of women and by global theorists examining the impact of globalisation. These theorists have developed two distinct sets of reconstructive strategies that, until very recently, have remained in ignorance of each other. Further, both feminist and global democratic schemes have been dogged by problems in terms of their theorisation of power, politics, agency and change. Recent feminist arguments about citizenship and governance go some way to bringing together concerns about gender inequality and globalisation, but they remain centred on states and the states-system as vehicles for democratic representation and participation. This article argues that a more radical reconstructive strategy can be derived from debates about the democratisation of feminism itself. Drawing on the responses of black and third world feminists to racism in the white-dominated feminist movement, and examining their influence on efforts to organise transnationally, the article points to innovative ways of thinking about power, politics, agency and change. Together these amount to a democratic framework which has applicability beyond feminist organising and which confronts the marginalisations of both gender and globalisation
