Memory, Narrative and Ecology: Interdisciplinary Perspectives CIMS Seminar in the Environmental Humanities by Dr Avishek Parui (IIT Madras)
The Cultural Identity and Memory Studies Insititute (CIMS) invites everyone to join this seminar by Dr Avishek Parui (IIT Madras) on ‘Memory, Narrative, and Ecology: Interdisciplinary Perspectives'.
This talk will examine the triangulation of memory, narrative, and ecology from an interdisciplinary position of psychology, literature, and cultural studies. It will engage with the ontological condition of memory-ecology, particularly in a post-digital world and connect that to the various vectors of remembering and storytelling that are emergent as well as connective in quality. Drawing on some recent research in neuroscience on the interactive brain, the talk will attempt to articulate how such interactivity corresponds to the interaffective modes of memory and narrativity in post-digital ecology. The talk will conclude with a description of the AR/VR app MovingMemory conceptualised and developed at the Centre for Memory Studies Indian Institute of Technology Madras.
