Life Oriented Discussion on 'Culture of Beauty and Market Hegemony'
On 23 Sept,2014, ‘Bhasha
Manch’ (A Unit of the Research Cell of Sodepur Solidarity Society) in collaboration
with Bharatiya Bhasha Parishad organized an interdisciplinary research oriented
seminar on ‘Culture of Beauty and Market Hegemony’ followed by dance drama ‘Abhigyan
Shakuntalam. The coordinator and concept designer of the programme is Dr. Rakhi Roy Halder. The concept of beauty was deeply associated with nature, justice,
humanity, peace and tranquility. The seed of lust, greed, and vulgarity in
arena of aesthetic sense of common people has given rise to many crises in
society among which vulgar attitude towards woman is one of the burning issues
at present. The students of ‘Research Team’ of ‘Bhasha Manch’ and the students
of ‘Solidarity Dance Academy’ through the seminar and the dance drama highlighted the features of healthy aesthetic sense with an aim to provide a
vision for making the society a better
place to live in.
On 2011‘Bhasha Manch’ formed a team of
researchers selecting students from different universities of West Bengal with a aim
to inspire the college and university students to find out such significant
values expressed in different art forms, which are very much applicable to
present day life as well as society and can bring positive changes.
The research team of students done research under the guidance of experts and identified the cultural factors which are leading to violent attitude towards
women. The outcome of in-depth studies
were presented by the researchers through Power Point presentation in the
seminar. The programme also highlighted that how art and literature
can become instrumental for positive social changes. The objective of the seminar was to give an insight towards a
new direction and emphasize on the need of shouldering social responsibility
through the expression of art & literature. The programme coordinator Dr Rakhi Roy Haldar deeply feel that students who are pursuing
subjects like art and literature can play the role of Social Engineer and
Social Doctor in order to bring positive social changes, if they are
trained properly. For this purpose education should be imparted from a
different angle and the approach should be holistic.
