MANUU hosts National Conference on Reframing Subaltern Narratives
Hyderabad:
Prof. Syed Ainul Hasan, Vice-Chancellor, Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) underscored the necessity of remembering ordinary women whose contributions have often been erased from mainstream historiography today while presiding over the inaugural session of two-day National Conference “Reframing the Subaltern Narratives: Comparative and Interdisciplinary Insights”. He stressed the importance of folklore studies in recovering marginalized voices and cultural memories.
The Chief Guest, Prof. N. Nagaraju, Vice-Chancellor, EFLU, Hyderabad, spoke on the continuing relevance of revisiting and reinterpreting marginalized voices in contemporary academia.
Delivering the keynote address, Prof. Rajendra Chenni, Director, Manasa Centre for Cultural Studies, Shivamogga, offered a compelling reflection on Allama Iqbal’s poetry, interpreting it through the lens of subalternity and cultural resistance, thereby opening new avenues for critical engagement.
The Guest of Honour, Prof. Vibha Sharma from Aligarh Muslim University, engaged the audience through Socratic questioning. Invoking Kabir Das, she remarked that “unlearning should be the initiation” of any meaningful critical inquiry, encouraging scholars to rethink established frameworks.
