SUMMARY:Intimacy and Risk: Understanding Violence taking place through MSM Dating Applications in Contemporary India - A Talk by Prof. Chandan Bose, IIT Hyderabad
LOCATION:ARB204
DESCRIPTION:The Sociology Faculty, Department of Social Sciences & The Queer Collec
 tiveAbstract: This lecture comes out of an ongoing project entitled 'Intima
 cy and Risk: Understanding Violence taking place through MSM (men who have 
 sex with men) Dating Applications in Contemporary India'. The foremost conc
 erns that this project addresses are, on the one hand, the relation between
  affective technologies, desire and violence that is particular to the MSM 
 community, and on the other, the perception, articulation and mitigation of
  risk.In this lecture, I will share some of the data that my ongoing fieldw
 ork in Calcutta, Hyderabad and New Delhi is revealing, along with some prel
 iminary theoretical frameworks. Specifically, I will focus on four themes e
 merging from my ethnography. One, the way in which desire becomes a context
  for violence to take place. Two, the co-construction of risk and otherness
 , that is based on cultural and social proximity and legibility. Three, tra
 cing the 'criminal' through police-work and queer digilantism. Four, method
 ological challenges that emerge while researching intimacy.\nBio: Chandan B
 ose is Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Department of Liberal Arts, Ind
 ian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad. The bulk of his research work has f
 ocused on craft production in contemporary India, around which he has publi
 shed a monograph, an edited volume, and several journal articles. His most 
 recent research centers around the platformation of queer bodies and desire
 s, for which he has received a Major Project grant by the Indian Council of
  Social Science Research (ICSSR).\n
