Manly Matters: Representations of Maleness in South Asian Popular Visual
Practice
Call for Papers

Tasveerghar: A Digital Network of South Asian Popular Visual Culture (
www.tasveerghar.net) is proud to launch our new project titled “Manly
Matters: Iconographies of the Masculine in South Asian Visual Culture.”

We invite proposals from scholars and researchers who wish to write a
5000-word “image essay” on a topic connected with this theme.  Our own
vision statement about this project is available at the link given at the
bottom, but we are also open to other ideas and topics. Preference will be
given in the selection of the final essays to those that pertain especially
to the under-represented regions of South Asia in the study of visual
culture (Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka), and to early career
scholars and researchers.  These image essays will be featured on the
website for Tasveer Ghar, and our in-house designer Yousuf Saeed will work
with each author to create the final product.

The deadline for submission of a 250-word abstract is January 15, 2017.  We
also request a sample portfolio of 5-10 images, and a timeline for
submission.  Authors of successful proposals will receive an honorarium of
USD $250 (to be paid on the submission of the completed image essay), and
access to Tasveerghar’s database of digitized images from the Priya Paul
Collection, New Delhi. The proposals can be sent by email to
manlymatters at tasveergharindia.net

The project will be carried out under the joint leadership of Christiane
Brosius, Sumathi Ramaswamy, and Yousuf Saeed, the co-founders and
coordinators of Tasveer Ghar.  It is funded by the Anneliese Maier Research
Award granted in 2016 to Sumathi Ramaswamy by the Alexander von Humboldt
Foundation, Germany.

With many thanks,

Christiane Brosius, Sumathi Ramaswamy and Yousuf Saeed
