Jammu,
Oct 04: The School of Languages and Literature at
Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University is a research oriented department at Shri
Mata Vaishno Devi University, Katra which holds special lectures to help
students decide on the right field of research.
In this context, today the
school organised an extension lecture on “Cinema in Postcolonial India with
Special Focus on Bombay Cinema” by Prof. Prabhjot Parmar, Professor, Department
of English at University of Fraser Valley, Canada. In her discourse, the
eminent professor focused upon the mise-en-scene in Hindi cinema with
particular reference to contemporary movies.
The insightful conglomeration of
films as an academic discipline, theory and its practice was quite beneficial
for the students and assisted them in developing a global mindset. Prof. Parmar
conducted her research into the Indian experience of WWI as part of her post-doctoral
research.
Her area of specialisation includes postcolonial literatures and
theory, South Asian literature and cinema, migration and diaspora studies,
multicultural Britain and Canada, women's studies, memory and history,
world war and colonial soldiers, modern British fiction. Dr. Amitabh V.
Dwivedi, Head, School of Languages and Literature appreciated her interactive
and enriching sessions. The formal vote of thanks was presented by Dr.
Simranpreet Kaur.
