A national seminar was arranged by the Department of English of University of Kashmir at Ghandhi Bhavan auditorium on the topic of Revisiting Literary Classics in the Postmodern Secular World on October 21 -22, 2015.

The two day seminar was lead by the Prof G R Malik, former Dean Faculty of Arts, University of Kashmir and ex-head host department.

Speaking about the topic Prof Hameedah Nayeem, the incumbent head of English department, said, “there are significant voices claiming the death of literature because a stodgy post ‘Nietzchean’ world seems incapable  of thinking or imagining grandly as the postmodern age with its ‘incredulity towards all narratives’ is incapable  of sustaining grand visions and grand narratives.”

“The rise of a number of new perspectives in criticism - from cultural materialism to new historicism to deconstruction to neo-colonialism and a number of neo-Marxist appropriations of traditional critical approaches - are all wedded to a certain form of de-canonization discourse.
