The Word & the World: Lessons from South Asia and Beyond

Andy Kavoori’s talk, titled “The Word and the World: Lessons from South Asia and Beyond,” will focus on a theorization of contemporary media practices around the interrelated network of what he calls the “logics of globalization”. These include capitalism, nationalism, modernity and post-colonialism. He will seek to demonstrate the complexity of these logics in the working of media in South Asia and beyond.

Film Series--The Man Who Knew Infinity (2015)

 

 

“Written and directed by Matthew Brown, The Man Who Knew Infinity is the true story of friendship that forever changed mathematics. In 1913, Srinivasa Ramanujan (Dev Patel), a self-taught Indian mathematics genius, traveled to Trinity College, Cambridge, where over the course of five years, forged a bond with his mentor, the brilliant and eccentric professor, G.H. Hardy (Jeremy Irons), and fought against prejudice to reveal his mathematic genius to the world. The film also stars Devika Bhise, Stephen Fry and Toby Jones. This is Ramanujan’s story as seen through Hardy’s eyes.” – 108 min
