Tamil Studies Conference

The sixth annual Tamil Studies Conference, Parimaanam: Images, Embodiments Contestations organized by the University of Toronto and the University of Windsor, will be held at the University of Toronto from May 13-14, 2011


The objective of the conference is to explore the manifestations in which images, aesthetic representations and constructs of various kinds have played a significant role in constructing and destabilising ways of being Tamil.

Conference papers and panels will discuss, from the perspectives offered by different disciplines and fields, how notions of Tamil-ness have been imagined, identified and embodied in historical, political, cultural and aesthetic practices that engage intellectual perception and subjective response through a range of materials, technologies, visions, models and movements which help fashion ways of being Tamil.
