Society Studies (IIACSS), more than ONE MILLION Iraqis had lost their lives

Dear Friends,
Jaibheem!
Insight Editorial Collective cordially invites you to the release of the
next issue of *'Insight: Young Voices'* on *3rd February* (Sunday). The
release will be followed by a *workshop on 'Dalit Students' Politics:
Challenges and Directions'*, where Dalit student activists from different
universities/institutions will share their campus experiences as well as
deliberate on the different issues concerning Dalit students.
The recent report of Prof. S.K. Thorat Committee exposing the caste
discrimination faced by the Dalit students in All India Institute of Medical
Sciences (AIIMS) and complete inaction from the Indian Government has
reinforced the need for a vibrant and autonomous Dalit students' activism.
Dalit movement has a long history of youth participation. However, due to
various reasons, a strong Dalit students' politics, that could have a major
impact both inside as well as outside the campus, has not emerged. Though
every educational campus of this country is simmering with Dalit
Consciousness, yet it will take some time and huge efforts to channelise
Dalit students' energies towards our common cause.
Being itself the product of Dalit students' activism, *'Insight: Young
Voices'* is committed towards a strong and autonomous Dalit student
politics. Apart from regular articles and interviews on various issues, the
cover story of our next issue of *'Insight: Young Voices' *tries to map the
emergence and role of *Dalit students' politics in Jawaharlal Nehru
University, Hyderabad Central University and Meerut University (UP),* as
these have become one of the most important centres of Dalit students'
mobilisation and articulation.
Date: - 3rd February 2008
Time: - 2.30 pm
Venue: - Qaumi Ekta Trust

Face à l’état de délabrement de son installation, le sculpteur français
Daniel Buren a évoqué, en décembre 2007, la destruction des colonnes, si
rien n’était entrepris rapidement par l’état, pour leur rénovation. Ces
colonnes rayées avaient soulevées une forte polémique lors de leur
installation en 1986, qu’en est-il aujourd’hui 20 ans après ?

Tout d’abord il faut revenir au fait que le paysage a disparu de mon
regard, qu’il m’a fallu le traverser; mais aussi tenir compte que le
parcours de distances excessives ne m’intéresse pas. Je pourrais donc
choisir de tourner en rond pour découvrir continuellement un nouveau
point de départ. Ce dernier devient alors porteur de bien des réflexions
sur la relativité de l’espace et du temps. “Ecotone” est une
installation présentée pour la première fois au FRAC Lorraine en
décembre 2007. Un écotone est une zone de transition écologique entre

Ces « divagations » ne sont ni des études savantes – ni même des études,

autre, profondément bouleversé. De l’une à l’autre peu de points
communs, si ce n’est, peut-être, un principe d’incertitude – tableaux,
photos, peintres et photographes connus ou inconnus ne seront pas là
tout à fait dans la norme, dans l’échelle, dans l’allure ou dans le

A discussion on Media Nagar 03
Date: 1st February
Time: 6:00 pm
Venue: Oxford Book Store, Statesmen Building
148, Barakhamba Road, CP
New Delhi -110001
The Media Nagar Series is a Hindi publication from Sarai. It started off
as an annual publication of the Publics and Practices in the History of
Present (PPHP) project of Sarai in 2004. The work undertaken by
researchers within the project were compiled and transformed into the
Media Nagar 01. It also included contributions by others working in the
same field outside Sarai. The second in the series, Media Nagar 02,
became an independent publication of Sarai and it concentrated mainly
around the theme of Media and the City. Researchers and scholars across
the world were invited to provide with articles. Fundamentally this was
an effort to prepare a resource material for the Hindi medium
researchers, students and media practitioners.
Media Nagar 03 is focused on network culture. Its main objective is to
explore the notions of network and also to understand its functioning,
how it is formed and its impact on the social order. Besides, it has
articles on other media forms and activities such as film, music, print,
media market, legal regime, and other new media forms.
Now that Media Nagar 03 is out, it is a good time for contributors, old
and new and well wishers to gather and deliberate critically about the
shape and conception of this book along with the rest in the series.
The panel includes:
Debashree Mukherjee, Film Scholar, JNU
Ramprakash Dwivedi, Coordinator, Deptt. of Mass Communication and
Journalism, Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar College, DU
Rahul Pandita, Journalist, Writer, Blogger and Novelist
Anand Pradhan, Associate Professor, IIMC, Delhi
Sanjeev Kumar, Writer & Critic, DU
Arun Maheshwari, CEO, Vani Prakashan Delhi
Sarai invites you to be a part of this session.

On suicide, Wandhama and, perhaps, everything else in
life-
Rahul Pandita
*This evening, a middle-aged man with receding hairline jumped from the top
floor of my office building and died on the floor, next to a promotional
board of Johnie Walker which reads: Keep walking. His one shoe lay near his
motionless body.
People watched him from a distance. By the time someone called the police, a
pool of blood was created beneath his face. The man was wearing a jacket and
a pair of blue jeans. While I sat in my office, discussing literature with a
friend, the man must have decided to take the final plunge.
I don't know who this man is. Probably he was not an employee of any of the
offices in the building. Probably he was an outsider who just climbed the
fifth floor to end his life. Probably he was tired of life. Probably he
loved it too much.

i find it wonderful that all of you have spoken up.
good health to the list !
i prefer a ternary tigit to to the digital binary, call it optimism
some processes take longer and are not apparent on the list
and not even predictable/predicatable
so lets not be convinced of the uselessness of engagement
thats the third category
the mutually engaging kind is the first
and the truebred troll the third, and even this has a ternary truth value
on an unmoderated discussion list (there appear no indication, but
suggestion of changing)
people cant be shut up for useless discussion, you cant do anything, unless
people decide to migrate
one solution here is for recipients, individuals, subscribers to filter or
tag - i think to do this does not impinge on the list, the poster or ethics
- if theres something useful one catches it in someone else's response.
another way is to respond in a metaphysically absurd way - which is a highly
fascinating end engaging strategy
and the last is to curse with ignorance, banish to silence - that is,
ignore,
aka dont feed the troll. (thanks nishant)
it is newcomers to list and compulsive arguers who sustain the worst cliched
labels and categories.
the cliched argument may not be useful in a discussion but again there are
shades. we are ourselves struggling to break patterns we get set in. some
are not trying, or have given up long ago, some have simply forgotten, or
never known, some are about uncovering, some will never know - some rums
felt the unknown unknowns of abu pentgonia when he fell thinking it must be
pataphysics.

Session 2: Embedding Fear: The Internet And The Spectacle Of
Heightened Alert @ Conference
Moderator: Brian Holmes [us]
Participants: Loretta Napoleoni [us], Naeem Mohaiemen [bd], Yassin
Musharbash [de]
Respondent: Thorsten Schilling [de]
The Internet's 'open system' makes it not only the world's most
powerful tool of conspiratorial narrative generation but also creates
the broadest 'extranational' platform for the creation and
dissemination of political, military and corporate propaganda. Any
form of authorship. Any group (or individual) whether legitimate,
clandestine or fraudulent with access to the net may proclaim any act,
real or imagined. Within the current atmospheres of induced security,
economies of fear and pending 'terrorist' action, what are the key
roles played by the Internet in defining the legitimacy of a perceived
threat? How are the complex issued of identity and culture corrupted
when freedom of access and communication become entangled in an
ill-defined international 'war on terror' fought to a large extent
online?
The conference takes place at Auditorium.
