UGC- Sponsored National Seminar on Contemporary Nonviolent Movements in India and Abroad
23 & 24 August 2012
Venue: School of Gandhian Thought and Development Studies, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala, India- 686560
The Seminar
The scope of nonviolent action throughout the world has increased considerably in recent years. The Arab world, which was characterized by the prevalence of semi-dictatorial regimes, has been particularly targeted in recent years. The Occupy Wall Street Movement in the US suggests that people are taking on the negative forces of globalization through nonviolent means. It is in this context that the School proposes to look at the nature of nonviolent contentious action and its emerging trajectory. Papers are invited from Indian and scholars from abroad on any of the following or related themes.
Broad Themes
The Sociology, Politics and Economics of nonviolent action- the state of current theory - Gandhian nonviolent action -Cases from abroad -Nonviolent action in India such as Baliapal, Hazare movement and Koodankulam protests - Use of technology in nonviolent action - Prospects for civilian-based action in Kerala -Research Themes and Agendas in Nonviolent Action
While we encourage participants to mobilise funds from their own organizations, we have some money to pay for meeting the travel expenses of participants from India whose papers are accepted for presentation at the seminar. All out-station participants will be provided local hospitality during the period.
Selected papers presented at the seminar will be published either in a book format or brought out as a special issue of Gandhi Marg, the premier Journal of the Gandhi Peace foundation, after a blind review.
Last date for submission of abstracts (200 words) is 15 July 2012
Last date for submission of full paper is 15 August 2012
