The Theme of the Seminar

Literature has always been concerned with questions of kinship, human relationships, social institutions like marriage, family love, human psychology and other aspects of human life. Literature gives voice to suppressed human identities. In the last two decades, Queer studies have added hitherto ignored concern to literary studies. and initiated debates on non- heteronormative desires and identities. Queer studies, sexual diversity studies and LGBTQIA studies have kept sexuality and gender at its forefront not only focusing on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender dysphoria, asexual, queer questioning, intersex people and cultures but deconstructing he heteronormative as the given and essential.

The seminar is intended to provide an interdisciplinary forum for academics, teachers, research scholars and students across the world engaged in the critical discussion of Queer studies. The sessions endeavour to promote boundary-pushing research in Queer studies, conceived in the broadest terms, within a lively and open culture of participation. Examining the crossing of boundaries, resistance to and transgression of social, sexual and identity norms, the seminar strives to be a space to experiment with ideas and readings, to respond to provocations and initiate thinking about queer in a creative and intellectual manner.
