ON NOT MENTIONING THE MODERN

The 7th Symposium in the Literary Activism series presented by India International Centre; Centre for Creative and the Critical, Ashoka University; literaryactivism.com; and The Oxford Research Centre for the Humanities

As the mission statement says, one must wonder 'why modernity, the modern, and modernism – terms that are by no means interchangeable, but which are related to each other – have largely vanished, in India, from critical discourse and the quest for self-knowledge. There’s not only a deep hostility to, and nervousness about, the modern; it has, in a sense, slipped out of language.' This is true not only of India, but of other countries and contexts. They symposium hopes to generate a conversation about modernity and its elision.
 
The symposium is open to all. Please join us at this
