About Tumkur University Tumkur University was started in 2004 to address the needs of students in higher education in Tumkur district. With its vision "Sevastu me Jnana Vijnanadhara" (Let the flow of Knowledge and Science be expressed in the form of service), the university is surging ahead with its research-geared mission. Aiming to achieve human potential development through committed and dedicated efforts, the university is ensuring an effective application of integrated and interdisciplinary approaches in its dissemination of knowledge. About the Department The Postgraduate Department of English was started in the Academic Year 2005-2006. Apart from imparting knowledge in English Literature at the Postgraduate level, it also serves as a research and pedagogic platform for critical and emergent areas of study in humanities like Cultural Studies and Indian Writing in English. Ever since its inception, the Department has been on a resolute mission to promote advanced studies and research in English language and literature and the humanities for building better perspectives towards understanding human cultures and cultural production. About The Conference It is evident that a work of art earlier was examined in vacuum. But the work of art has now evolved to attain a new nomenclature Text. Thanks to the various insights contributed by theorists across the world, the idea of Text in the recent developments in the theory of textuality from Barthes to Belsey has posed challenges to the way the literary and non-literary texts are studied. In the light of this debate, the Conference proposes to examine the possibility of a pre eminent context around a text or a context that assumes its shape circumstantially. Objectives of the Conference * To explore new critical idioms for the evaluation and reading of literary and non-literary texts * To develop various perspectives for reading literatures * To showcase and engage with new research which has been reflecting on these themes

Sub-themes of the Conference * * * * * Traditional approaches to text Textuality of History, History of Textuality Transition from Work to Text Text and Context Textuality as a research method
