Day 6 - Learn

Archives and the Digital Humanities Recording {% youtube d2Y-L6Ai1rA?start=1 %} Summary Moderator Dr. Dibyadyuti Roy of IIT-Jodhpur opened panel discussion on questions pertaining to archive's pedagogical properties, ethological roots, and the dynamics between archivist and digital humanist. The pedagogues came from different professional backgrounds, adding variety to the discussion. Rishi Sighal and Amarnath Praful from NID use dissertations as pedagogical tool in the Photography Design Programme. Students there also involve in digitizing institute's collection to find connection between vernacular photography and India's colonial past. Two teachers from IIT-Jodhpur brought their experiences to the table from film studies and literary perspectives respectively. Issues like catering to the needs of heterogeneous classrooms, mutability of archives, politics of access and navigation, the problematic relationship between cinema, nation state, and the digital emerged through Dr. Parichay Patra's talk. Dr. Natasha Thoudam pondered over questions of insider-outsider dynamics, politics of segregation and stereotyping the NE, and how the digital space can negotiate these problem spaces. Ishita Shah, an independent researcher & practitioner, narrated some of her pedagogical explorations across places, people, and practices, citing examples of Hampi, Kishkinda Trust project etc. as efforts at collaborative learning practices,including the ongoing COVID Care archives. Dr. Ghosh, IIT-Delhi, explained the transition from oral to manuscript to documentary to digital cultures, and how performative art has the power to negotiate the silence, or ephemerality of the documentary left, possibly perpetuated by the digital archives. Last speaker Dr. Mukherjee of CS3-Kolkata, commented on the disruptive nature of Postcolonial DH, citing his Scottish Cemetery project which helped unearth oral/ micro- histories otherwise undocumented.

Day 5 - Explore

Archives and the City Recording {% youtube jY_si8DUvuE?start=1 %} Summary Under the theme of ‘Explore’, the session began around the centrality of space in archives. Swati, Tripti, and Friederike from the Missing Basti Project spoke about building a counter map of Delhi that showed its negative image of evictions and resettlement of working-class people. The archive was a living repository of peoples’ lives through video interviews. We were told how the archive was used as an advocacy tool, as well as for informing urban policy makers. Prof. Ayonna from University College of London deliberated on the contentions between physical and digital archives of cities. Giving Shimla’s example, she spoke about how, for officials who take decisions on demolishing neighbourhoods, what mattered was how the hill station appeared on the web (to the average tourist), rather than detailed colonial documents in the public records room. She cautioned, however, how subaltern histories did not find easy access to either physical or digital/web archives. Dr. Malini talked about her experiences of taking oral interviews of veteran planners of Delhi and other metropolitan cities, as well as block-level planners from Kerala and Punjab. Her motivation was to see if planning style was monolithic across India, the nature of data gaps on which planning is done, and the need for urban planners to synthesise their work with indigenous practises of planning.
