Kritya2011 ( Tentative Dates- 19th, 20th & 21st January 2011)
Expressions/ (Manifestations) and Realizations of Gender in/through Poetry
Kritya2011 will focus on the manifestations and realizations of gender through poetry. Every language brings with it its own baggage of gender codes. Expressions of gender transcend pronouns to cross over beyond love and beauty to patriotism, homelands, justice, ideals and ideas, sound and silence, nature, life/birth and death/murder, light and shadow, art, animate and inanimate objects to typhoons and cyclones and other natural and unnatural disasters. For the poet gender associations and metaphors fulfill a wide range of innovative possibilities. The excesses are disguised through aesthetics often even hiding the gender of the poet through a deliberate and contrived stance. Even the portrayal of Gods through an excess of devotion spills over in deciding finalities of gender. Often absolute neutrality of a subject demands a carefully laid out foil for gender. Interestingly also the use of personal pronouns by numerous poets explores several possibilities of gendered readings. Gender is closely related to the question of identity and superscriptions of gender defines an abiding pleasure principle through poetry.
