Cultural Studies by Kalyani Vallath

As we all know that now Cultural Studies is also a part of NET SET exams so our department had organised a very fruitful session on Cultural Studies by Dr Kalyani Vallath. She is very enthusiastic and very energetic. She has a different level of knowledge.

We came to know about what is Cultural Studies? Cultural studies is the study about all common people and also about us. It is also study about popular literature. It is a wider approach. Maam gave so many examples to explain Cultural Studies from around our routine life. We also learned very well about founders of Cultural Studies. Madam explained many theories and concepts about Cultural Studies like :

The begginings,

Frankfurt school,

Critical theory,

Hegallian Dialectical Method,

Dialectic of Enlightenment,

Culture Industry,

New left

Queer theory, and many others.

She gave many examples from her real life which I never forget it. She told about her travelling experience, food experience, shaved head experience which are very heart touching.

Now the concept of Cultural Studies is almost clear.

Ma'am has very good skill of teaching. The session is very energetic because the ma'am is very energetic.

I want to say thanks to Dr Kalyani Vallath for coming here and enhancing our knowledge about Cultural Studies. Once again thanks to ma'am because she couldn't sleep last two nights because of making the presentation for us. And the main purpose of the making presentation - students can take pictures and can read after the workshop and analysis it very well. Thank you so much for ma'am's sacrifice. Also big thanks to Dilip Barad sir for arranging this fruitful workshop.

The session was started nearby 8:45 am to 5:30pm. There were 93 to 95 students attended this session. This session was attended by many former students and other PG centers' students.

The Alchemist - book review

આ ક્વોરનટાઇન વેકેશન મા જો કઈ આત્મસંતોષ મળે એવુ વાંચન કયુઁ હોય તો એ છે The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. આજ સુધી માત્ર મેં Paulo Coelho ની વાતો જ સાંભળેલી હતી પરંતુ આજે સ્વયં વાંચીને તેને અનુભવ્યું પણ. The Alchemist નવલક્થા એ સૌથી શ્રેષ્ઠ નવલક્થા માની એક નવલ કથા છે. જેનું 67 ભાષા મા અનુવાદ થયેલું છે અને 10 કરોડ થી પણ વધારે પ્રતો નું વેચાણ થયેલું છે. નવલ કથા ના ફ્રન્ટ પેજ પર એક ખૂબ સરસ વાકય લખ્યું છે : "જયારે આપણે કંઈક મેળવવાની ઈચ્છા મન થી કરીએ છીએ ત્યારે દુનિયા ની સમગ્ર શક્તિ આપણી મદદે આવે છે ". આ નવલક્થા મા ઘણા સંઘર્ષ બતાવા મા આવ્યા છે જે અમુક લોકો વચ્ચે ના પણ હતા અને પોતાની જાત સાથે ના પણ હતા. પોતાના હૃદય એટલે કે મન ને કેવી રીતે કાબુમાં લેવું એની વાત છે. ગુજરાતી કેહવત છે કે :"મન હોય તો માળવે જવાય " એમજ જો મન થી મક્કમ હોય તો કોઈ પણ કામ સફળતા પૂર્વક પૂર્ણ કરી શકાય. અને ધ્યેય ની પ્રાપ્તિ કરી શકાય. અને આ વાત ને ખૂબ જ સારી રીતે બતાવામાં આવિ છે આ નવલક્થા મા. આધ્યાત્મિકતા ની ઝલક દેખાય આવે છે અને સાથે સાથે દ્રઢ શ્રદ્ધા અને શુકનો ની પણ વાતો કરવામાં આવિ છે....
