SUMMARY:International Academic Conference 2023
DESCRIPTION:Over the past fifteen years\, Bhaashaa’s work has connected a
 cademic discussions\, professional interactions and brainstorming with imp
 lementation and action at the grassroots level. This international confere
 nce aims to gain a perspective on borders in lives and literature.\nCallin
 g on scholars\, academics\, practitioners\, performers and artists from In
 dia and abroad\, this conference presents a unique opportunity to situate 
 this conversation in India. We also welcome inputs from counsellors\, psyc
 hologists\, practitioners. This conference aims to get a better understand
 ing of what borders mean to us\, advantages\, possible pitfalls in living 
 in a multilingual global world\, and how that interacts on a cognitive as\
 nwell as a social level.\n\nCall for Paper:\nSince the dawn of civilisatio
 n\, borders have shaped spaces\, lives\, and humanity. These\nthreads have
  permeated through our consciousness and progress\, creating\, changing an
 dweaving a rich tapestry of culture and literature around them. Borders ha
 ve been central tocross-cultural dialogue and interaction\, making them ex
 tremely fertile grounds for creation.\nRight from the Arabian Nights creat
 ed along the Silk Route to the diverse regional literaturealong the length
  and the breadth of India\, these borders have connected and enriched live
 s\nthroughout history.\nToday\, as the world moves closer towards being a 
 multicultural global village\, the role of\nthese borders in promoting cro
 ss-cultural interactions\, dialogues and literature has becomeever more co
 mplex and important.\nCelebrating life and literature today means paying h
 omage to these fountainheads of lifeand creativity which allow not only fo
 r distinctiveness in identity but also the creation of adynamic\, colourfu
 l and multicultural humanity.\nThrough this conference we want to explore 
 the role of these ‘borders’\, these fluid lines that\nshape human exis
 tence. The conference will encourage participants to look beyond the ideao
 f borders as delineating or limiting lines and will lead them towards expl
 oring and reexamining\nborders as a living\, breathing entity responsible 
 for the multifaceted\, complex\nand colourful literature that enriches our
  lives in the globalised world of today.\nWe invite scholars\, researchers
 \, students\, and practitioners working on related topics andissues to pre
 sent their thoughts at this conference through papers and presentations. T
 hepaper could be presented around the following themes:\n● Borders as Fo
 untainheads of Civilisations\n● Literature on Borders\n● Time\, Border
 s and Human Progress\n● Celebrating India: Regional Borders and Literatu
 re\n● Re-examining the Existence of ‘Borders’ in a Globalised Worlds

 l Writing\n● Borders\, Travel and Immigration: The Creation of a ‘Melt
 ing Pot’ of Literature\n● Contested Creations: Borders\, Conflicts and
