Bodoland University is a university in Debargaon, Kokrajhar, Assam, India. It was established by the Bodoland University Act 2009 by the Assam Government. The Information About the International Seminar on Orality: The Quest for Meaning of the Bodoland University is given below International Seminar on Orality: The Quest for Meaning CONCEPT NOTE It is pertinent to have a wider platform which offers avenues into the study and discourses on oral traditions when the world, in its so-called progress for development, is veering away from the age-old traditions and the wisdom contained therein. Understanding Northeast In this regard, the case of Northeast India may be taken into account. The scanty writings that one finds on the region through anthropological works or colonial reports offer more or less distorted views on the region and its people Environment in the traditional worldview: ecocentric or anthropocentric? The study of oral traditions is important also because they contain age-old wisdom about the environment, and knowledge gathered from experience is crucial to a better understanding of the earth in this age when the world is heading towards environmental devastation with its thoughtless actions which harm the environment beyond repair in the name of development. Approaches: The twentieth century has witnessed the development of several theories by which literary works can be approached and these theories have been applied to the study of oral traditions as well. A wide range of approaches have been employed to the study of orality— the more “mechanical” Finnish historic-geographic method and the age-area hypothesis Following are the themes that may be taken up by paper presenters for deliberation: Orality and writing Folklore: Approaches and prospects Women narratives Women and Nature: Emerging Perspectives History writing and orality Emerging literatures Dynamics of indigenous identity Revisiting Northeast Folklore and nationalism Traditional Belief Systems , myths, legends, oral poetry Magic, Witchcraft and Paganism Environment and traditional worldview Inter-cultural and multi-cultural dialogues For more Information you may get from the below Attachement that is Free to Download Contact Details : Bodoland University Address: Rangalikhata, Deborgaon, Kokrajhar, Assam 783370 Phone: 03661 277 149 |
