[Reader-list] [Announcements] Bare Acts Picnic

[Aarti]

=================================
Sarai Reader 05: Bare Acts Picnic
=================================

Lodhi Gardens, Delhi
3:30 pm, Saturday, 5 November 2005

 From this November onwards we are trying to intiate a monthly informal 
discussion around particular texts from Sarai Reader 05: Bare Acts. The 
idea is to get different people to respond to texts from their 
particular locations and perspectives, and share this with a group of 
interested interlocuters. Each month we will consider a different set of 
texts grouped around a broad theme.

The first picnic will be held on the 5th of November at 4:00 pm in Lodhi 
gardens. It will be an informal gathering and the texts are grouped 
around the theme of gender and sexuality. We will meet at the gate 
outside the India International Centre. You can also ask for directions 
and so on by calling Aarti at 9810105158. Do bring along tea/coffee and 
fruit to help the conversation along !

Shuddhabrata Sengupta, Aarti Sethi, Gautam Bhan, Monica Mody and 
Sunalini Kumar will discuss the following texts from the reader which 
attempt to explore the fraught relationship between the law and realms 
of intimacy, sexual labour, pornography, movements for the assertion of 
sexual rights.
