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.

Eventually, however the old man lost his business and had to work for somebody else. Pinter never forgot this situation in his early life – the combination of calm and unrest beauty and ugliness; and these qualities permeate his work. Personal history had deeply influenced all Pinter’s writi...
