Artistic Activism in India (History, Practice, Paradigm and Circulation)
“Artivism” encompasses artistic actions, which tackle social and political issues, reviving agitational practises defined in resistance to the planetary ideological hegemony they refer to as neoliberalism. This resurgent awareness of the political nature of artistic creation questions consensual discourses on the neutrality of art and aesthetics, often confined in their "autonomy" and impervious to the disorders of the world. Within artistic activism a dialectic between two entities, traditionally perceived as being of a different nature, is played out: on the one hand the field of art (too often defined as autonomous, with no other functionality than its own) and on the other hand in the field of politics and social activities on the other hand (thought out as a praxis of the exercise of the power in an organized society). The central question posed by artistic activism could be stated in this way: How can we evaluate the capacity of art (visual arts, performing arts, literature, theatre, dance, video art, cinema, etc.) to function as social and political protest?

Call for papers - Ethnology, anthropology
What do we picture when we evoke India? For its 20 th annual Workshop, The “Association des jeunes études indiennes” (AJEI) invites young researchers to share their knowledge and to propose a critical approach of the concept of ‘Images’ in the subcontinent: To what extent do images reflect the many realities and representations of India and how does the Indian imagery affect scholarly, artistic and touristic as well as political perceptions, from a western and an Indian point of view? The Workshop is aimed to develop a cross-disciplinary dialogue in social sciences for a better understanding of the multiple roles that Images have been playing from antiquity to nowadays in the perceptions and the foundations of culture and identities in Indian society. The aim is also to open some reflexive discussions on the use and construction of images.

Censorship, Emotions and Cultural Regulation in South Asia
This workshop aims at exploring issues of literary and artistic censorship in South Asia (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) by focusing on the way anticipated "hurt" often justifies the policing and regulation of the artistic sphere (cinema, visual arts, literature). Our point of departure is, in the words of Arjun Appadurai, the observation that culture is today the field "where fantasies of purity, authenticity, borders and security can be enacted" and that the same censors patrol the boundaries of politics and aesthetics (Coetzee). In the Indian subcontinent "hurt feelings" are often reactivated or cultivated, staged and mass-mediatised to claim recognition and legitimacy in the public sphere, to require compensation or "redressal". Many artists, writers and academics point to a politics of ultra-sensitivity and a thriving "marketplace of outrage". Our objective in this workshop is to question the vocabulary, topicality and tangibility of "hurt" in the public sphere on these issues of artistic regulation in South Asia, and to understand what it means to say that words or images wound.

An inventory
Dans le cadre de la première édition du Festival du dilm d’Asie du Sud transgressif (FFAST), l’équipe du Festival propose le mercredi 16 janvier 2013 à l'Inalco, une journée de conférences en compagnie d’universitaires européens et sud-asiatiques. Au programme, table-rondes, conférences et projections pour discuter des grands défis contemporains des arts visuels du sous-continent indien face à l’hégémonie de l’industrie de Mumbai. Du cinéma populaire, à la vidéo expérimentale, en passant par le film indépendant, une étude esthétique et anthropologique soulignera leurs différences : comment est-ce que ces différents cinémas filment la sexualité ? Quels sont les codes, artistiques, économiques, symboliques, de Bollywood ? Quelles sont les conditions de financement et de diffusion ? Quelle place pour le film d’art et la vidéo expérimentale dans ce marché en Asie du Sud et en Europe ? Face à une scène cinématographique en pleine mutation, cette journée de rencontres adressera directement les enjeux et défis pour les réalisateurs, producteurs, curateurs et institutionnels.
