CONCEPT NOTE AND THE TOPICS FOR
DISCUSSION AND PRESENTATION –
Marginalization is a process of out casting
a group or individual on the basis of region, religion, caste, gender, colour
and so on. Marginalization inhibits a person, group or a community to enjoy
rights, privileges, opportunities, as well as resources. Marginalization is
also called as social exclusion. Marginalized groups are viewed with hostility
and fear. Marginality has affected the lives of millions of people worldwide
depriving them of their individual and social rights. Those who are
marginalized suffer from a crisis of identity and it leads to the social and
psychological exclusion.
The
term ‘marginalized’ may be used synonymously with the term ‘Oppressed’ used by Paulo
Freire, ‘ Proletariat’ used by Karl Marx and ‘ Subaltern’ used by Gramsci. The
term is equal to so many other terms such as ‘disadvantaged’ subjugated, socially
excluded, and downtrodden as used in the literature.
These
Marginalized voices found literature as the best tool for expression of their inner
feelings. Literature of the Marginalized has emerged as major area in which
studies are pursued worldwide and intellectual discussions are organized. The literature
of the marginalized has come to the vanguard with its all dimensions.
The
two days National Seminar organized by us on the topic will give new insight
and serve a useful discussions and conclusions about the theme. It will also
highlight the need for such study and serve as a good platform for the
researchers and students working in this particular area
