About Conference
The folk culture of India is very rich. This
reflects the folk-life. The value system, belief system and harmonic
establishment of various social systems are very expressive in the Performing
art forms of such communities. The local knowledge system is traditionally
transferred through oral traditions. Oral Epics, Performing Arts and Ballads
are rich resources of information stored in them towards the socio-cultural and
socio-religious structure of the communities. Therefore, The studies on Oral
Epics and similar such expressions through Performing arts and singing of
ballads helps in understanding the communities socio-cultural aspects which in
turn helps in understanding the people of the country. With this perspective an
International Conference is planned to be conducted at Osmania University,
Hyderabad.
In India, in
general, and In Telangana, in particular, many traditions are established to
narrate the oral epics. The stories, the ballads and epics related to folk
heroes, historical characters, and cultural heroes are narrated in many
different forms. There are narrative performances and also ritual performances.
Ritual re-enactment and dramatization of myth are commonly seen across the
country. In Telangana Wandering scroll narrators, story tellers of Doli, Toti,
Pradhans, Oggu, Madeccu artistes are the active bearers of these traditional
performances. The mythologies or caste myths reveal the reasons behind the
establishment of several communities and also their art forms as there are
narrations related Patron- dependent caste relationships.
This International
Conference is intended to provide a discussion forum for analysis of the
performing arts of India and its neighbouring countries. These Performing arts
are mostly based upon the oral Epics or the epics which have regional
variations. The narration have functionary importance such as re-establishing
value system and educating the younger generation in the community. Social
Harmony and Inter-dependency of the castes or communities form central message
of the oral epics. The case in the neighbour countries are to be explored to
have better understanding of culture complexities therewith. In our own tribal
or rural contexts there are conceptions, which are to be verified. It is
believed that the mythologies of the occupational castes or patron-dependent caste
myths focuses that the origin of the several folk art forms are linked to the
reign of Kakatiya Ruler Prataparudra, and the history of the origin of several
other art forms are traced back to 17th century. But the reality is somewhere
else. There are possibilities of reformation or transformation of one art form
into another in a certain period of time. The oral epics describes the social
life of the community to which it belong. For example, Katama Raju Katha
describes the life style of Cowherds of Andhra Pradesh, whereas Epic of
Junjappd describes the customs and practices of Kadugollas, a semi nomadic
tribe of Karnataka. The Epic related Padmasalis reflects the cultural life of
customs and traditions of weavers and also focus upon the textile work culture
in Telangana. The International Seminar is expecting the scholars to focus upon
the regional cultural analysis in light of these Oral epics.
