[AI] Call for contributions

2015-08-05 Thread Jyothsna Phanija
Dear all, we would like to bring an anthology of poetry and short
stories written by visually challenged writers and poems and short
stories which imply theme of visual impairment by non visually
challenged writers. Here is the URL for the info:

http://nivasini.com/guidelines-to-submit-for-celebrating-india-from-the-eyes-of-the-nonsighted/

I am pasting the URL info here:
Literature is one of the potential communications to define
resistance. Literature from neglected communities have rapidly risen
up in the recent times, making their voices resounded in the
mainstream literary cannon. At this context, Nivasini Publishers is
seeking submissions for a book titled “The World I Write In: Anthology
of Poems and Short Stories by Visually Challenged Writers” which will
completely focus on literature of the visually challenged and for the
visually challenged. The representation of visual impairment by non
visually impaired writers in the oppressing or  celebratory terms is
present from a long time. But, voicing one’s own experience of
disability, resisting the stereotypical metaphors associated with
visual impairment constitute many powerful poems and short stories.
The proposed anthology aims to  present those poems and short stories
written by visually challenged writers from India. To be considered
for the publication in the anthology:
1.  Visually challenged writers or writers who employ visually
challenged people as central characters  from India should send their
submissions in a Microsoft word attachment  to mailnivas...@gmail.com
on or  before the august 30, 2015 (Indian Time).
2.  One / three poems or short stories around three thousand words on
any theme will be considered for publication. Translations with the
copyright permission from the original author will be considered.
Previously unpublished works are preferred.
3.  The anthology would strictly be focused on the genres of poetry and
short stories to emphasize on creativity as a way of highlighting the
literary merit of the visually challenged writers, with the aim of
contributing to the larger discourse on Disability Literature in
India. Hence personal memoirs, nonfiction essays or other genres of
writing will not be considered.
4.  The book will be available in digital and print format, the
contributors will be given a digital copy.
We accept stories/poems from writers who are not visually challenged
too. However, as mentioned the central character or the theme should
be around nonsighted people (partial/complete). The editors of this
anthology are Niverdita Narsapuram and Jyothsnaphanija.   Nivedita
Narsapuram has cofounded Nivasini Publications. She has worked with
Thomson Reuters and is currently working towards Nivasini’s new
initiative: Wribel. A freelance journalist, her published poems and
stories are archived at: nnivedita.com. Jyothsna Phanija is a PhD
research scholar in English Literature at EFL University, Hyderabad,
India. She writes poetry, short stories, research articles and book
reviews. Her poetry and short stories have been published in many
national and international journals. She blogs at:
phanija.wordpress.com

Please circulate the info. We are eagerly looking forward for your submissions.
Thanks,
Jyothsnaphanija.

[AI] Requesting for suggestions for an essay on Indian poets with disabilities

2014-11-09 Thread Jyothsna Phanija
Dear all, I will be writing an essay "Reading Loop" for the December
issue of Wordgathering: A Journal of Disability Poetry. For that, I am
asked to work on disabled poets in India. I will be very thankful if
you could suggest Indian poets with disabilities, whose contribution
to the literature and disability aesthetics is remarkable. The idea as
the editor Michael Northen conceived is to have American readers being
introduced to the disabled poets in India. Please message to my mail
ID jyothsnaphan...@gmail.com  or phanija.literat...@gmail.com the
name, works, and English translations if available about the disabled
poets. Thank you,
 Jyothsna.

[AI] some doubts in Braille

2013-04-02 Thread Jyothsna Phanija
Hi,
  I strongly feel that, learning Braille would help us not only
for the corporate world, but for any field. . Can easily take note of
only what is important in the class, can learn foreign language in
using the spelling and pronunciation in your mother tongue for
proficiency in that particular language, can do any calculation or
translation which was given as a part of class work by reading and
writing at the same time and reading for the class teacher, can be
useful for writing musical notations, can be useful for writers for
jotting down their thoughts immediately, can skip pages sooner than
computer by giving some indications, can increase the sense of touch,
and can do many more things. We can do these things with technology,
but why Braille is to save our time, make us more independent and
confident, so no second thoughts about learning Braille. If people
have no opportunity of learning, they can use technology. But, when we
have the opportunity of learning, I think, it’s the best decision. I
have seen few visually impaired friends feeling shy of using Braille
in class; I feel that, that attitude never give what we want. All the
best for your learning.

[AI] about e-book

2013-03-26 Thread Jyothsna Phanija
i think one of the best ways to find a book is to search in google
with proper key word for eg.
sound shadows by Ved Mehta / pdf
google would try giving list of sights where this book is available.

this method works best for accessing other researcher's thesis across
the world which would be helpful for our own research.
