Concept Note:

Though only a century old, the cinema has captured the essence of human civilizations across time & space. As a meeting point between science, technology, visual arts, music, drama & commerce, it is in a sense, an epitome of human civilization itself. Simultaneously operating at two levels of creation--the process of film making & its final product the film--cinema illuminates the dialectics between past & present, fact & fiction, reality & imagination.

Indian cinema too displays the above characteristic features in the specific Indian context. e.g. taking gender as a focal point, we can illustrate the changing realities & shifting perspectives in India. When Dadasaheb Phalke made the first Indian film 'Raja Harishchandra' in 1913, the role of the heroine Taramati was played by a man because no woman was ready to face camera as it was supposed to be vulgar & inappropriate to the modesty of a woman. Since then there has been such a metamorphosis in the public attitude towards cinema that today there is hardly any aspect of cinema which is not transformed by the Midas touch of the women.

The present Conference aims at exploring this wonderful relationship between cinema & women --women as audience, as characters, as actors, as singers, as dancers, as writers, as critics & as film makers. So we invite research papers dealing with women & cinema from various angles as listed below. The given list of themes is only indicative & the participants are free to choose any other relevant topic.

International Conference on Hindi Studies - PARIS 2016 अंतर्राष्ट्रीय हिन्दी संगोष्ठी हमें आपको सूचित करते हुए अत्यन्त हर्ष हो रहा है कि फ़्रांस की राजधानी पेरिस स्थित राष्ट्रीय प्राच्य भाषा और संस्कृति संस्थान (inalco) में एक अंतर्राष्ट्रीय हिन्दी संगोष्ठी का आयोजन 2016 में होने जा रहा है। इस संगोष्ठी में आपकी उपस्थिति प्रार्थनीय है। इस संगोष्ठी का आयोजन भारत के विदेश मंत्रालय, फ्रांस के राष्ट्रीय प्राच्य भाषा और संस्कृति संस्थान (inalco), ईरान और भारत विद्या शोध-संस्था (MII, UMR 7528) तथा LABEX से मिले अनुदानों के तहत होगा। अंतर्राष्ट्रीय हिन्दी संगोष्ठी के बारे में हालाँकि अनेक अंतर्राष्ट्रीय हिन्दी संगोष्ठियाँ दुनिया के विविध विश्वविद्यालयों द्वारा समय-समय पर आयोजित की जाती रही हैं, फिर भी हमें यह कहते हुए गर्व हो रहा है कि पेरिस में होने वाली यह संगोष्ठी कई मायनों में अपने आप में अनूठी है। हिन्दी संगोष्ठियों के इतिहास में संभवतः पहली बार हिन्दी भाषाविज्ञान, हिन्दी-साहित्य तथा हिन्दी भाषाशिक्षण के क्षेत्रों में हो रहे उच्च स्तरीय शोध को इस संगोष्ठी का लक्ष्य बनाया गया है। यह संगोष्ठी तीन दिन चलेगी तथा तीनों दिन तीन समानान्तार सत्र भी होंगे। ज़ाहिर है कि इससे दुनिया के विश्वविद्यालयों में कार्यरत हिन्दी विद्वान एक साथ बैठकर आपस में विचारों का आदान-प्रदान कर सकेंगे। साथ ही उन्हें हिन्दी भाषाविज्ञान, हिन्दी-साहित्य तथा विदेशी भाषा के रूप में हिन्दी भाषा के शिक्षण के क्षेत्रों में दुनिया के विश्वविद्यालयों में हो रहे शोध से परिचित होने का भी मौक़ा मिलेगा। संगोष्ठी के लक्ष्य और उद्देश्य लेखाजोखा तैयार करना - इस संगोष्ठी का सबसे पहला उद्देश्य है विश्व स्तर पर हिन्दी भाषा-विज्ञान, हिन्दी-साहित्य तथा विदेशी भाषा के रूप में हिन्दी-शिक्षण के क्षेत्र में हो रहे शोध का लेखाजोखा तैयार करना। परीक्षण करना - साथ ही इस संगोष्ठी का उद्देश्य है भावी शोध के लिए उभरकर आने वाले नए विषयों की पहचान तथा शोध के भावी नवीन क्षेत्रों का निर्धारण करना। प्रोत्साहन देना - इस संगोष्ठी का अगला उद्देश्य है हिन्दी के ऐसे युवा शोधार्थियों (पीएच.डी. तथा अन्य शोधार्थी) का पता लगाना जो अपने शोध के द्वारा हिन्दी-अध्ययन को नए आयाम प्रदान करना चाहते हों। जिन युवा शोधार्थियों के शोध-पत्रों को पूरी समीक्षा के बाद हमारे द्वारा प्रकाशनाधीन ग्रन्थों में सम्मिलित किया जाएगा उनके आंशिक या पूरे खर्चे (पेरिस-यात्रा, आवास और भोजन, आदि) का वहन संगोष्ठी आयोजकों द्वारा भारत सरकार तथा इनाल्को से मिले अनुदान के अन्तर्गत किया जाएगा। संपर्क स्थापित करना - इस संगोष्ठी का एक और उद्देश्य है विश्व में फैले हिन्दी शोध-केन्द्रों के बीच संपर्क-सूत्र स्थापित करना तथा शोध और शिक्षण के क्षेत्र में सहयोगी संस्थाओं के बीच समझौते के माध्यम से भावी हिन्दी-शोध की आधारभूमि तैयार करना। Welcome to the official website of the 2016 International Conference on Hindi Studies The International Conference on Hindi Studies (ICHS) will be held in 2016 at the National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilisations (inalco) in Paris.

Importance of Social Media in Higher Education

Importance of Social Media in Higher Education

                       We are living in a globalised world of science and Technology. Where Sense of responsibility and act of responsibility is now very closely connected because of the Transformative world-wide culture. Internet and computer has played the tremendous role in changing the Traditional society in a Modern pattern of act. Education in today’s scenario is the basic need of human beings. This is through education only one can achieve his goals in such a huge competitive world. This is the time of investigating the possibilities of using the web/social media as a tool of e learning in the higher education system of our country. This may be the one of the biggest educational chain or platform of collective learning system.

                        The University Grant Commission has already started his work on “E- PathShala” with the slogan of - skill India and Digital India. This is the need of time to get familiar with what we exactly need to compete in today’s world.  Obligations and commitments are the part of the system, so we need not to get worry about that. Use of social or web media in modern education pattern is the necessity and the future of the society. A knowledge based society can be built only by the tool of education. This is why the government of India is planning to increase the GER (Gross Enrolment Ratio) from 12% to 30% till 2020 as per the survey report of “About All India Survey on Higher Education” available on  http://mhrd.gov.in/statist.  In our country near about 140 million students are in school Education and approximately 800 universities are functioning throughout the country. Education is the only tool through which we can make 21^st Century as an Indian Century.

                      Web or Social Media is playing tremendous role in today’s society. there are some definitions of web or social media such as:

·         As per the definition given by the “Merriam Webster” in their online dictionary at the web link http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/social%20media is

“Forms of electronic communication (as Web sites for social networking and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (as videos)”

·         As per the definition given by the “Oxford Dictionary” in their online dictionary at the web link http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/social-media  is “Websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking.”

In the view of above definition, we can say that social media has given the platform for collective learning. One question can be asked that why social media has become so important in these days? According to me following factors are responsible for the same

1.      Social media as an alternate.

2.      Social media and its reach.

3.      Social media and its connectivity.

4.      Social media and availability.

5.      Social media and feedback.

6.      Social media: beyond the boundaries.

7.      Social media: cheapest tool.

8.      Social media: as a collective platform.

9.      Social media and expression of thoughts

10.  Social media: As a knowledge Gateway.

                       It has been observed that in whole world social media has become very popular among the youth. Though still there is big gap between their online activities and in their study. But both the things can be get connected and concept like “Global Learning System” may come into the existence with much more popular way than the “Traditional Learning System”. Lot of research efforts throughout the world has proved that social media platform is more effective for collective learning system. Here student’s participation is more focused and they act as a co- producers of content. Video and image blogging has made the learning system more live and graceful. Study-interaction and collaboration is happening on one platform, which is transparent and democratic in nature.
