BCIIC-AH Scope

The BCIIC is being launched as an annual event aiming at exploring the emerging trends in Arts and Humanities all over the world. The theme of the conference will change as per the academic and intellectual demand in the field and new areas will be explored. We will seek the assignment of ISSN for the Conference as a regular serial event.

The Theme

One of the recent trends in the field of Arts and Humanities is to deconstruct the constructed binary among the disciplines.  This paradigmatic shift in recent decades quite consciously rejects the strict disciplinary divide between Science and Arts and Humanities and focuses on accommodating and integrating different other disciplines/ branches of knowledge within the larger domain of Arts and Humanities. This interfusing of disciplines can broadly be called interdisciplinarity. Quite naturally, there has been a rise not only of different interdisciplinary fields like Green Studies, Digital Humanities, Film Studies, Partition Studies, Animal Studies, Vegan Studies, Food Studies, Game Studies, Media and Communication Studies, Migration Studies, Psychoanalysis and Trauma Studies, Memory Studies, and others; but there is also a conscious effort to make the broad area more inclusive, giving space for the marginal voices and disciplines like LGBT Studies, Ethnic Studies, Dalit Literature, Folklore Studies and so on. The conference proposes critical engagement with the emerging trends in Arts and Humanities and to de/re-territorialize the fixed paradigm in a global context. The Conference invites original, unpublished research articles and scholarly papers from teachers, professionals, research scholars, independent researchers and students studying at the postgraduate level.
