The exhibition will be inaugurated by Chief Guest Dr. (Smt.) Snehalata Deshmukh, Ex. Vice Chancellor, University of Mumbai on Monday 9th July 2007, at 5:30 p.m. Venue: Coomaraswamy Hall, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, (Formerly Prince of Wales Museum of Western India) 159-61, Mahatma Gandhi Road, Mumbai 400-023. The exhibition will be on display until Thursday 12thth July 2007 from. 11 a.m.- 7:00 p.m. *Make/ Shift Mumbai **Readings, Imaginations and Propositions * Kamla Raheja Vidyanidhi Institute for Architecture and Environmental studies (KRVIA) is exhibiting its work on the city of Mumbai from Monday July 9 thuptill Thursday, 12 th in the Coomaraswamy hall of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Vastu Sangrahalay, formerly known as the Prince of Wales Museum. The exhibition titled "Make/ *Shift *Mumbai, Readings, Imaginations and Propositions" will showcase its large repertoire of work on the city completed over the last 15 years. Since the institute's inception in 1992, a group of educationists, professionals and artists became involved in envisioning the direction of the school. Discussions on cities have been central to its academic investigations. Through its varied research and consultancy projects and through its undergraduate courses and its extra-curricular programmes the institute has actively engaged with the city and provided an important platform for debate and discussion. Espousing an interdisciplinary approach, its initiatives have ranged from mapping/reading the metropolis in multiple ways; to providing new spatial imaginations for the city through its academic work; to its advocacy work, which proposes alternative futures to the city's development. The college is now starting a Postgraduate programme in Urban Studies, offered as an Master of Architecture ( M.Arch) degree with a specialization in Urban Design and Urban Conservation. The intention is to take its earlier initiatives forward by providing a platform for structured research and design at the postgraduate level. The Exhibition, "Make/ *Shift *Mumbai, Readings, Imaginations and Propositions" is both a retrospective of the institute's work and an introduction to its Post Graduate programme. While the three categories Reading, Imaginations and Propositions are in many ways interconnected, they form an important structure through which to see the institute's work on the city. The work displayed through these above conceptual categories has been done through the institute's Design and Research Cell, its Urban Studies courses conducted in the fourth year of the B.Arch programme, its Humanities courses, the Final year thesis projects, and the Design projects undertaken from the first to the fourth year of the undergraduate programme, which engage in readings and interventions in the city at various scales and through multiple approaches. *KAMLA RAHEJA VIDYANIDHI INSTITUTE FOR ARCHITECTURE AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES * Vidyanidhi Marg, JVPD Scheme, Mumbai 400 049.

Namely, what to make of geotagged audio samples and recordings (http//freesound.iua.upf.edu/geotagsView.php). In case you're not familiar with the term, geotagging is the practice of assigning geographic coordinates to a piece of media like a recording or photo as a form of metadata. In one incarnation, such as on the Freesound project (http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/), geotagged samples are layered over Google maps, allowing one to zoom in on any spot on the planet and potentially find samples tagged to specific geographic locations. As numerous startups and one very large corporation (beginning with a 'G' and ending with 'oogle') have realized, the commercial potential of geotagging is huge. But we hear less about its scientific potential and, of importance here, its aesthetic potential. Scientifically, geotagged audio has potential in areas such as the environmental sciences. As one example, imagine taking annual recordings of a section of forest over many years, studying the variations or declines in population of certain bird species via their prominence in the recordings. This has likely already been done, but then imagine putting those incremental recordings into the public sphere via an application like Google Earth. Of course, as an artist, I am primarily interested in the aesthetic potential of this technology. Currently on Freesound (and hopefully soon on Google Earth too), one can navigate around a map of the world, looking for and listening to geotagged samples, downloading them if one is interested in using them further. However, once the geotagged sample is downloaded and separated from its coordinates, it becomes just another field recording without any accompanying data. For a geotagged sample or recording to be of value compositionally - as a geotagged sample tied to a specific place and not just an anonymous field recording - the metadata must be maintained for compositional use. This is where we apparently reach the edge of current development: tools for working compositionally with geotagged sounds off of a network have not really been developed. There is a multitude of approaches to using this type of material, from composers interested in ecoacoustics to installationists wanting to tap 'global' recordings in some improvisatory way. What I'm getting at here is the need for a discussion (hopefully to take place below), about the aesthetic and technical issues surrounding geotagged audio, and tools that composers/artists would like to see available for making the best of this material. If you were to make use of geotagged audio, what would you use it for? What kind of interfaces into a geotagged audio database would interest you?

The Festival will play host to over 300 international and Indian guests and expects an audience turnout of over 60,000. Over ten days, audiences will be treated to the very best of Asian and Arab cinema. Our selection of 140 films from more than 35 countries reflects the unparalleled diversity and eclecticism of the cinemas of Asia and the Arab world. The 9th Osian's-Cinefan Festival Films will be screened this year at Siri Fort Auditoria Complex, Alliance Française de Delhi and PVR Plaza and PVR Rivoli. More than 300 guests - including filmmakers, festival directors, producers, actors, scholars and journalists will attend the festival. In addition to contemporary films from Asia and the Arab world, the Festival, with the tagline 'Recreating Cinematic Culture', will have a Focus on Japan with a tribute to Kenji Mizoguchi. A number of contemporary Japanese and samurai films will be screened as well. Accompanying this focus are unique Japanese posters of World Cinema. The Japan focus will also have a benshi performance (narration of a silent film with accompanying music) - the first of its kind in India - that opens the homage to Kenji Mizoguchi on 21 July 2007. The festival will screen Mizoguchi's silent 1933 masterpiece, The Water Magician with a narration by one of the world's leading benshis, Ms Yuko Saito. On display will be one of the biggest exhibitions from the realm of Magic and Fiction, cinematic artworks from the realm of Horror and Science Fiction, and displays of the legendary divas of World Cinema as well as a gigantic display of fifty great Indian female stars. This year, Osian's-Cinefan has introduced sections that have been specially curated, giving each curator the freedom to select the films of his or her choice. The Silhouettes section will consist of films with women as central characters in an oblique reference to Mizoguchi's predilection for highlighting the situation of women in Japanese society in his time. Commemorating the 150th anniversary of India's First War of Independence in 1857 will be films that describe the struggle for freedom in Asia and the Arab world in a section called Hymns to Freedom. This will be accompanied by an exhibition entitled A Historical Epic II: 1850 - 1880s, that focuses on the specific period between1850-80, and lays special emphasis on the 1857 Uprising in India. The exhibition comprises photographs, chromolithographs, photographic stills, hand-painted photographic stills. In Springboard, we salute the role of film festivals in laying the foundation for the success of a film by showcasing films which, because of the awards or recognition they received there, went on to become landmarks in the history of world cinema. We pay tribute to the technique of cinema in a new section called Filmcraft where, this year, we acknowledge the place of the cinematographer. A Conference on the Origins of Cinema in Asia will discuss how cinema arrived in different Asian countries, and the issues that surrounded its growth. The Lifetime Achievement Award for distinguished contribution to writing on cinema will be presented to renowned writer and scholar from Japan, Tadao Sato, who will also deliver the Annual Cinefan Lecture.

If you would, please consider contributing. Inquiries or questions can be directed to me. We are particularly interested in articles that have a practice-based approach to their topic, or are explications of digital culture as seen through new kinds of interaction rituals brought to us courtesy of California's peculiar ways of making and circulating culture. Thanks. Hope to hear from you. Julian Bleecker Julian Bleecker, Ph.D. http://research.techkwondo.com julian at techkwondo.com ================================================= Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies Call for Papers – Special Issue on 'Digital Cultures of California Vol 15 no 1. February 2009 Guest editor: Julian Bleecker (julian [at] techkwondo [dot] com and bleeckerj [at] gmail [dot] com) (Near Future Laboratory and University of Southern California) The deadline for submission of research articles is 1 February 2008. This call invites submissions for a special issue related to digital cultures of California. Internationally, California is a phenomenon in terms of its relationship to creating, consuming and analyzing the era of digital technologies. From the legendary garage entrepreneurs, to the multi-billion dollar culture of venture capital, to stock back- dating scandals, to the epic exodus of California's IT support staff during the Burning Man festival, this territory plays an important role in the political, cultural and economic underpinnings of digitally and network-mediated lives on a global scale. The Bay Area of California (often referred to somewhat incorrectly as Northern California) is perceived as a hot-bed of technology activity. Nearby Silicon Valley serves as a marker for the massive funding of enterprises that shape many aspects of digital culture. The new interaction rituals that have come to define what social life has become in many parts of the world can often be traced back to this part of California. New, popular and curious forms of presence awareness and digital communication such as Twitter and Flickr have found a comfortable home here. Lifestyles of the Northern California digerati have enveloped the cultural milieu, often changing the social landscape to such a degree that it become unrecognizable and unpalatable to those less engaged in creating and consuming digital cultures. Complimenting the Bay Area's technology production activities is Southern California – the greater Los Angeles basin in particular – where Hollywood sensibilities bring together entertainment with technology through such things as video games, mobile content distribution, digital video and 3D cinema. California is also the home of several colleges and universities where digital technologies are developed in engineering departments and reflected upon from social science and humanities departments. This curious relationship between production and analysis creates the promise of insightful interdisciplinary approaches to making new kinds of digital networked cultures. Many institutions have made efforts to combine engineering and social science practices to bolster technology design. Xerox PARC probably stands as the canonical example of interdisciplinary approaches to digital technology design. Similarly, combining arts practices with technology as a kind of exploratory research and development has important precedent at places like Intel Berkeley Labs and PARC and at the practice-based events such as the San Jose California-based Zero One festival. In this special issue we welcome submissions which investigate, provoke and explicate the California digital cultures from a variety of perspectives. We are interested in papers that approach this phenomenon in scholarly and, particularly, approaches that emphasize practice-based analysis and knowledge production. * What are the ways that social networks have been shaped by digital techniques? * How has the phenomenon of the digital entrepreneur evolved in the age of DIY sensibilities? * What are the ways that 'new ideas' succeed or fail based on their dissemination amongst the elite, connected digerati, as opposed to their dissemination amongst less more quotidian communities? * What is the nature of the matrix of relationships between Hollywood entertainment, the military, industry and digital technology? * Can the DIY culture explored in the pages of Make magazine produce its own markets? * How does the Apple Inc. culture of product design and development shape and inform popular culture? * How have the various interdisciplinary approaches undertaken at corporate research centers connected to universities such as Intel Berkeley Labs shaped digital cultures? * What does 'Silicon Valley' mean in other geographies? How has the model of associations between innovation, research and funding been transplanted elsewhere and to what measures of success? The deadline for submission of research articles is 1 February 2008. Submissions/proposals for papers should be directed to the guest editor. The special issue will be published (by SAGE) in February 2009. For full details of house style and submission format, please consult www.beds.ac.uk/Convergence (For all other submissions/inquiries, please contact convergence at beds.ac.uk) ______________________________________________ SPECTRE list for media culture in Deep Europe Info, archive and help: http://coredump.buug.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/spectre -- Chiara Passa chiarapassa at gmail.com http://www.chiarapassa.it http://www.ideasonair.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: JAMGHAT A GROUP OF STREET CHILDREN Invites you to BHANWAR(50 mins) A theatrical performance inspired from Places around Jama Masjid Directed by Amit Sinha Opening Musical Performance by JIGRI (Vimlendu Jha, Sunny Verma & Valentine Shipley) On 24th July 2007, Tuesday at 7 p.m. Stein Auditorium, India Habitat Centre Lodhi Road, New Delhi-110003 About the play:- Bhanwar is a story of a literate thief trapped in his journey of life.It is an echo of bitter-sweet realities of street life. But most importantly Bhanwar aims at sensitizing people towards the issue of homelessness.The play tries to a explore a common space where young people from Jamghat and volunteers interact, share, experience and communicate with each other. Bhanwar tries to cherish this unison of young people's synergies. About Jamghat(a gathering):- Once upon a time, a group of children came together to perform a play. A play that revolved around their life...life on the streets. The children performed for a Prince and won the hearts of their audience. Ever since, the children have been living together as Jamghat. And now, they want to tell YOU their story... Jamghat: Tales from the streets. Jamghat is back with its annual production on 24 July 2007 at Stein Auditorium, India Habitat Centre. Jamghat as an organization has been working to create an environment to enable street children to evolve as healthy and productive individuals capable of self-dependent existence in society. The organization uses stage and street theatre as a medium to build self confidence in their children and also build awareness in the society on key social issues related to the lives and stories of street children. Currently Jamghat runs an indoor shelter and an outdoor outreach program for children below the age of 18 years among other activities. The organization also engages young people all over the country through its theatre workshops and volunteer program. This year the group presents Bhanwar; the story of a thief caught in the web of life. It is an echo of the bitter-sweet realities of street life. The aim of the play is to explore the issue of homelessness and its various faces. The play also attempts to delve into the common space shared between young people from Jamghat and the young volunteers connected with the organization. The play is developed and directed by Amit Sinha who is the founder member and the director of the organization. In a career spanning over 8 years Amit has directed numerous plays with the young people and volunteers at Jamghat as well as with various other organizations and schools all over India. Amit has been working with the development sector ever since his graduation from the Delhi University. The program will commence at 7 p.m. with an opening act by Jigri- A band with a cause. Jigri is a part of Swechha (We for Yamuna). It strives to spread the message of social citizenship through its music. Notes for Editor: Scenario of street children in Delhi There are an estimated 4, 00,000 street children1 in Delhi. These children face harsh realities on the streets including lack of food and shelter; economic exploitation by employers; exposure to drugs; physical and sexual exploitation, and; harsh treatment by the police. While street children contribute immensely to Delhi's day-to-day functioning by serving as rickshaw pullers, tea stall and restaurant waiters and household help, majority of the people consider street children to be thieves, pickpockets or criminals. Thus, street children experience alienation from all members of society. About Jamghat Jamghat (a lively gathering) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) working towards the holistic development of street children. Our primary goal is to provide an enabling environment for street children to evolve as healthy and productive individuals capable of self-dependent existence in society. A secondary goal is to use street and stage theatre as a medium to build awareness in the society on key social issues related to the lives and stories of street children. Currently Jamghat is working with 10 kids in the indoor shelter project at Lado Sarai and over 50 kids in the outdoor project around Jama Masjid area in Old Delhi. Background of Jamghat In 2003, Action Aid India forwarded a grant for structuring a play about life on the streets. The play was to be performed for Prince Charles and other visiting dignitaries. A few street urchins came together and worked with a couple of theater artists. The play was staged and was a success - so much so, that it required the children to travel all over the country and abroad. Despite shortage of funding, the children decided to live together and call themselves Jamghat. Amit Sinha, the Director of Jamghat, has been closely involved with children and has been managing them ever since they met. Jamghat has no regular means of income or funding to sustain itself. Friends and kind strangers have helped with basic resources and some organisations have helped in its survival and growth.

Geetha** * Eminent Social Historian and Feminist Activist On *The Kinship Contract or How the Tamil Political Subject is almost always Masculine *** Chair*: Prof. Patricia Uberoi* Eminent Sociologist, Institute of Economic Growth Date*: 26th July , 2007(Thursday)* *Time: 11.00 A.M.* Venue*- Seminar Room, Department of Sociology, Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi* Delhi-110007 *Abstract * *The Kinship Contract or How the Tamil Political Subject is almost always Masculine *** * * One of the more exciting aspects of feminist scholarship in recent times has to do with the theorising of the relationship between caste and gender. This relationship has proved germane to diverse enquiries – from studies of dalit women's activism to understanding Hindu masculinity. In this presentation, I would like to re-look this relationship in terms of political mobilisation and rhetoric in Tamil Nadu – especially the manner in which fictive kinship mediates and structures the political community as a distinctively masculine one. I would like to draw on the work of Lebanese feminist, Suad Joseph to understand what she refers to as 'the kinship contract', how it functions to both create male political subjects, while ignoring, subsuming and marginalising female persons. *About V. Geetha*** * *** "A writer, translator, social historian and activist, *V. Geetha* is a freelance editor with a number of small research journals. A leading intellectual from Tamil Nadu, she has been active in the Indian women's movement since 1988, organising workshops and conferences. V. Geetha has written widely, both in Tamil and English, on gender, popular culture, caste, and politics of Tamil Nadu. Among the books she has authored are Tara Publishing's An Ideal Boy (with Gita Wolf and Sirish Rao), Gender in the Theorizing Feminism Series, and Towards a Non-Brahmin Millenneu: from Iyothee Thass to Periyar (both published by Stree). Her Tamil books include Self-respect and Samadharma: life and thought of Antonio Gramsci, Frankfurt Marxism, and An Introduction to Althusser (published by Vidiyal and other alternative Tamil publishers)." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The panel: a photographer, a film maker, and a sociologist, will explore 'ways of seeing' the city - Bombay/Mumbai, in particular. In their presentations they will engage questions of space, representation, gender, ideas of public and private, city spaces and exclusion. The panel will also address photography and film-making as acts of documentation. Panelists Shyam Benegal One of the leading filmmakers of India's arthouse or New Cinema tradition, Benegal's critically acclaimed feature films, ranging from Ankur in 1974 to Bose: The Forgotten Hero in 2005, chronicle the idiosyncrasies of a society in flux. Benegal is also the maker of several documentaries and ad-films including Nehru (1983), Satyajit Ray (1984) and Nature Symphony (1990). While continuing to direct films, functioning on various award juries and contributing to the academic world, he also serves the public as a member of the Rajya Sabha. Betsy Karel Born in New York City in 1946, Karel now lives in Washington, DC. She worked as a photojournalist in the 1970s and early 80s, winning awards. In 1998, after an absence of 15 years, she returned to photography to participate in The Way Home, a book and national exhibition on homelessness in America. During the past nine years, Karel has made numerous trips to Mumbai, creating the images in Bombay Jadoo. Her photographs are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Yale University Art Gallery, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and the John F. Kennedy Library. Shilpa Phadke An independent researcher, sociologist and writer, Phadke conceptualized and led the Gender & Space Project at PUKAR from September 2003 to September 2006. As part of the project she curated a photo-exhibition, City Limits: Engendering the Public with Bishakha Datta. She is currently writing a book based on the Gender and Space project along with Sameera Khan and Shilpa Ranade to be published by Penguin India.
