  • Passive Resistance: an interdisciplinary workshop with Ashis Nandy

Passive Resistance: an interdisciplinary workshop with Ashis Nandy

Friday, March 18, 2016, 10:00 AM – Saturday, March 19, 2016, 4:00 PM

-

This two-day workshop at the Indiana University India Gateway Office will imagine a new range of interdisciplinary interpretations for passive resistance. While the concept has been conceived narrowly as a strategy of civil disobedience, we’ll consider a spectrum of other possibilities, grounded in philosophy, literary studies, art, performance, political theory, and history. Passive resistance might emerge then as a reading strategy, an approach to thinking about subjectivity, a way of inhabiting a given identity or place in the social structure, or an element of language. We’ll have keynote speeches by Ashis Nandy and Jonathan Gil Harris, and four panels with the following themes: “Gandhian Principles,” “Habits of Resistance,” “Silence and Power,” and “Grammar and Composition.” Each of our distinguished panelists will introduce us, through a reading or artifact, to a new approach to interpreting passive resistance.
