    ALPHONSA COLLEGE PALA

    Two-Day National Seminar on

    BLURRING THE BOUNDARIES: THEORY AS AN INTERTEXT


    19&20 February 2020

    In Academic Collaboration with


    School of Letters, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam
    Call for papers

    The theoretical trajectories have been marked by clear contours which demarcate different
    theories that sprang up in the scenario from time to time. The ideas and methods used in the
    practical reading of literature remain to be a realm of constant experimentation and this paved
    way for infinite trials. Starting from liberal humanism and ranging up to different offshoots of
    cultural studies, the rationales of interpretations go on exploring new ambits. Theory in recent
    years has sought to explain the degree to which the text is more the product of a culture than an
    individual author and in turn how those texts help to create the culture. For this, even while using a
    specific theory, traces of other theories may also exist, making even the tool (theory) an intertext. This
    will result in an erasure of the lines that limit the scope of a particular theory, resulting in a side by
    side use of multiple theories. The current state of theory is such that there are many overlapping areas
    of influence, and older schools of theory, though no longer enjoying their previous eminence,
    continue to exert an influence on the whole. Hence, this seminar focuses on the multiple points where
    various theories intersect.
