EXTINCTION AFFECT AND THE CASE OF THE POLAR BEAR
Authors: MARGERY FEE
Published: September 2022

The paper connects affect studies with Indigenous Studies, Science and Technology Studies, and the emergent field called extinction studies or climate change studies. Claire Colebrook’s two 2014 Deleuzean books on extinction argue for a “theory beyond theory,” where affect would have no place: theory would think beyond human extinction. The paper examines two important categories of discourse around the polar bear, that poster creature for climate change, those of Inuit hunters and elders and those of scientists. The Inuit freely express emotions, the scientists do not. The Inuit see themselves and the polar bear as kin; the scientists’ concern for the bears is not articulated. Nonetheless, for both of them, the bears are what the science and technology studies scholar, Bruno Latour, calls a “matter of concern.” Non-Inuit artistic responses to the possible extinction of the polar bear reveal a strong affective response, unlike the scientific accounts. Perhaps Latour’s suggestion for a “parliament of things” where non-human entities that have become “matter of concern” are represented might help connect these disparate discourses. Although Latour may be too optimistic, Colebrook’s stance seems require an impossible denial of human affect. Even the rational scientific accounts evidence concern based on affect, however buried. One approach that seems useful is that of Theo van Dooren, who looks at how threatened species and humans are connected in an account that examines affect as part of a study that also draws on science.
SAHRUDAYA – A RESONANT HEART
Authors: SRINIVASA MURTHY
Published: September 2022

The paper explains the concept of ‘Sahrudaya’ by drawing on the principles of Kashmir Shaivism and Rasa-Dhvani. The discussion does away with some of the misconceptions regarding ‘Sahrudaya’. Rasika, Buddha and Vibuddha are some of the words used in lieu of Sahrudaya. A person, who is sensitive to as well as critical of what is received, challenges the creative mind, extends the experience and completes it. The act of aesthetic appreciation is not passive, but an active one, with the ‘Sahrudaya’ completing the range of possibilities suggested in the text. The importance given to audience/ reader is sought to be extended to all arts, in fact to all creative work including scientific discoveries, an idea elaborated by S. Chandrashekar in his work Truth and Beauty. The paper also briefly touches on the notions of Pratibha and Siddhi, the talent or gift of a creative mind.
AESTHETIC SENSIBILITY – AN INDIAN PERSPECTIVE
Authors: V. S. SHARMA
Published: September 2022

Indian rhetoricians, dramatists and poets have in the course of the last two thousand years drafted theories of aesthetics and literature. The paper briefly examines, re-considers and enumerates some of the principal ideas that highlight the understanding of emotional transformation and aesthetic pleasure. The essential considerations in the Alamkara and the Dhvani schools, and those of rhetoricians who followed Abhinavagupta in the tenth century, figure in this narrative along with the variations that the bhakti school effected in the discourse.
PRESENTING EMOTIONS AND ABSENTING BODIES? A GLANCE BACK
Authors: PRIYA V.
Published: September 2022

Kathakali is a traditional Indian dance native to the southern state of Kerala. To perform it, artists deck out in elaborate costumes and colourful makeup to tell stories from Hindu epics. A Kathakali performance, like all classical dance arts of India, synthesises music, vocal performers, choreography and hand and facial gestures together to express ideas. The paper attempts at over viewing the traditional themes of the Kathakali such as its folk mythologies, religious legends and spiritual ideas from the Hindu epics and the Puranas. The vocal performance has traditionally been performed in Sanskritised Malayalam. In modern compositions, Indian Kathakali troupes have included women artists as well, the characters of which are discussed herein.
DE-COLONISING EMPATHY: THINKING AFFECT TRANSNATIONALLY
Authors: CAROLYN PEDWELL
Published: September 2022

Opening up modes of political thinking and feeling take us beyond Euro-American calls to ‘put oneself in the other’s shoes’, this article explores how empathy is generated within, circulated through, and productive of transnational power relations. It starts by mapping some political genealogies of empathy, while considering what it might mean to ‘decolonise’ emotion. I then begin to flesh out my own critical approach by examining the ambivalent relationship between empathy and transnational capitalism, considering how feminist and antiracist discourses of care, empathy and social justice are susceptible to various forms of neoliberal appropriation. I move on to focus on the related workings of empathy in the affective aftermaths of European slavery and colonialism, asking how empathy expressed at the margins of normative postcolonial imaginaries might disrupt or refigure universalist emotional politics. Extending these critical concerns, the final section examines what I call ‘affective translation’, exploring what might be gained in moving away from dominant ideas of empathy premised on knowledge, accuracy and prediction towards a mode of affective translation involving attunement, negotiation and invention – across cultural and geopolitical borders and boundaries. Throughout, I am interested in how empathy might be translated differently– how liberal, neoliberal and neo-colonial visions and practices of empathy can be reinterpreted in the context of transnationality to activate alternative affective meanings, practices and potentialities.
THROUGH THE WOMEN’S BODY: STAGING REBELLION IN THE PLAY PURDAH BY ISMAIL
Authors: MARA MATTA
Published: September 2022

This article examines the play Purdah (1993) by the playwright Ismail Mahomed, a Pakistani writer and director born in Johannesburg (29 May 1959) who has been active on the theatre scene in South Africa for the last thirty years. Purdah1 is a one-woman stage performance that addresses the issue of seclusion and subjugation of the Muslim Indian women of Lenasia, the neighbourhood of Johannesburg, which during the apartheid regime was constructed as a ghetto for the Indian community. I argue that the play, narrating the story of Ayesha, a young girl subjected to the customary practices of her community and Muslim family laws, is an instance of ‘issue theatre’ that creates a venue for discussing the seclusion of women in purdah not just as a curtailing of freedom and a breach of human rights, but also     as a psychological form of ‘colonisation of the mind’ that impinges on the development of woman’s psyche and impedes the act of ‘creation’, in the double meaning of artistic ‘creativity’ (poiesis) and ‘fabrication’ of subjectivity.
PRECARIOUS CITIZENSHIP: SOCIAL ABSENCE VERSUS PERFORMATIVE PRESENCE OF NACHNI
Authors: URMIMALA SARKAR MUNSI
Published: September 2022

“Nachni” women from the eastern part of India, are popularly known in parts of Bengal, Bihar and Jharkhand as marginal performers who earn their living through a performing partnership with the Rasik (the male partner) while remaining in a fragile, yet domestic quasi- conjugal alliance with him. In research and popular writings, these women have been seen as the exploited, marginalised, and socially maligned practitioners. In the current research the signification of the social/cultural presence of the Nachni woman is sought in her performance and the communications that she creates through with her accompanists, audience and the larger society. This paper focuses on the social and the performative spaces that the Nachni inhabits, and the duality of the reception of her social self vis a vis her body. This duality of reception also brings to the fore, the need to theorise commoditisation of the woman’s body where the body, so long as it is seen as a product, and therefore a consumable, is not a threat, unlike the threatening polluting capability of a social presence of the owner of that very same body.
TRIPLE TALAQ ROW

The round table was part of the initiative to revive the MYM Gender Desk. Below is an edited narrative of their conversation.
TURKISH WOMEN IN ISLAMISM: GENDER AND THE MIRAGE OF “ISLAMIC FEMINISM”
Authors: ESRA ÖZCAN
Published: September 2022

In this paper, I reflect on the use of the term “Islamic feminism” in Turkey from the 1990s to the present. I discuss how Turkey’s Islamic feminists who were once the victims and strong critics of secular authoritarianism have now become advocates of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s populist Islamist authoritarianism which has severely restricted rights and freedoms in the country. I claim that using the term “Islamic feminist” in reference to the Islamist women supporters of Erdoğan is misleading as it puts a progressive spin on their ideas and activism. I argue that the terms “conservative” or “right-wing” more accurately describe the political positioning of these women.
Why ‘Anti-Sharia’ Protestors in Los Angeles are Concerned about Muslim Women
Authors: KHANUM SHAIKH
Published: September 2022

On a sunny Los Angeles afternoon in June of 2017, I was driving to the airport to pick up my cousin who was coming to visit me from Canada for the very first time. As I approached the international terminal I heard loud music interspersed with bursts of chanting and cheering – something that sounded like a protest. Having recently been hit by Donald Trump’s Muslim Ban, Los Angelinos of many races and faiths had taken defiantly to the streets against his punitive ban, and had flooded the international terminal at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in protest. Like many protests in Los Angeles that have followed Trump’s election, this protest was beautiful in demonstrating a multiculturalism grounded injustice for all and a vision of America that rejects divisive tactics of the state that single out one group as a ‘problem.’ As I circled around the bustling airport on that June afternoon, I called my sister to ask if she could check the news to see if there was a new trump policy that may have sparked further protests. After a moment of pause she said “Oh no, I heard on the news that today there are going to be anti-Sharia protests in 28 cities across the country. I hope that isn’t what this noise is about.”

To, the Rafto Foundation, Sisters & Brothers, Friends, and the International Human Rights Community, Assalamu Alaikkum,

My heartfelt thanks to the Rafto Foundation for co-awarding me the 2017 Rafto Human Rights Prize with ParvezImroz, the co-founder of The Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons with me.

It is an honour to receive this prize. I am very happy today as this prize will provide an opportunity to us to highlight APDP’s and Kashmir’s struggle for justice. The struggle which has become a spectacle for the world, but a reckless misery for the people of Kashmir I am also full of grief today because I remember my son and all the dear ones who have been disappeared, detained, tortured, blinded and killed by the state forces or the state-backed militia. In Koshur we say, mei cha daghlalnawaan. I am cradling this pain – as a mother.
Haiku In Malayalam: Reading Ashitha
Authors: VARSHA BASHEER
Published: September 2022

Haiku, the Japanese mini poems set in three lines, following a 5,7,5 syllable structure, had enchanted the Malayalee from the 90’s onwards but none had successfully mastered the craft of achieving the poignant precision of Haiku, until Ashitha tried to use the form for her poetical expression. This paper tries to look at the intricacies of crafting Haiku in Malayalam and analyses select Haiku poems of Ashitha.
The Prattle and the Pillar of the Church: The Many Selves of Eunice DeSouza
Authors: KUKKU XAVIER
Published: September 2022

The paper reads  Eunice de Souza’s poetry alongside the trajectory that India as a nation has grown and come into its own. The ways that the personal becomes a testimonial for the political and the social is also of interest in the poems of de Souza. The imaginative elasticity of the poet that stretches to include the bio-participants beyond the human, is an interesting pointer to ways that poetry can bring about a more intense consciousness and inclusivity.
Dalitism and the Case of Kashmiri Women
Authors: Mausumi Sen Bhattacharjee
Published: September 2022

This paper contends how the parameters of Dalitism and Dalit-feminism are differently defined vis-a-vis the crisis of occupation in Kashmir and may be in certain ways applied to the case of the women there. Sandwiched between the politics of two battling nation states, India and Pakistan and their two conflicting discourses, the Hindu and Muslim positionality of Kashmiri Muslim women receive newer dimensions of double marginalisation as in Dalit-feminism. I would use a few case studies and literary tropes from Kashmir to validate this search for a different version of Dalitism and Dalit-feminism vis-a vis the majority Muslim population of Kashmir valley.
Anthems of Desire – A Study of R Raj Rao’s ‘National Anthem and Other Poems’
Authors: Huzaifa Pandit
Published: September 2022

The paper proposes to study R Raj Rao’s ‘National Anthem and Other Poems’, to explore how Rao’s work constitutes a subversive discourse that illuminates the landscapes of queer desire constituted from the wide range of formulations of the queer self in post-colonial urban India. The paper argues that the texts are performative acts that create eroticised topographies created by and from the performance/consummation of sexual acts. Drawing from a close reading of selected poems, the study seeks to illuminate the politics and performance of a subversive aesthetic forged from an intersection between radical queer aesthetics, and the evolution of a queer subject both at odds and complicit with masculine right wing nationalism in contemporary India, a curious mix of free market liberalism, and celebratory post-colonial right wing majoritarianism that has strengthened the old heteronormative mores, rather than dissolving them even as India has decriminalised homosexuality.
Beyond Appetite; Food Inclusion in Socio-Political Contexts
Authors: Samra Fuad
Published: September 2022

From being the basic sustenance of life food has become one of the most important cultural markers in the history and the evolution of human civilization. Even though food, its preparation, its producers and its evolution has happened right alongside human history and development, the study of food as a cultural marker is not a very old or tired discipline. In fact food discourses are a relatively modern branch of study. In this paper I have tried to trace the various influences and collusions of food and food myths that have become deeply entrenched into various lifestyles throughout history till this very day, only changing patterns and interpretations.  The paper highlights the corporeal influences of food associations on social and political movements; food has a much deeper and infinitely more powerful grip on our socio-political scenarios than appears on the surface.

Mary Ellen Mark gave the world a new style of photography, the style of unapologetically documenting the vulnerable sections of society.
Women, Cultural History, Memory and Myth:A Lakshadweep Chronicle
Authors: Muhsina N.
Published: September 2022

The cultural history, memory and myth of Lakshadweep are closely related to the lives of the island women. But the matrilineal patriarchy at work in the society acts as a shackle that tames the thoughts and experiences of women. This article looks into the ways in which this powerful system of matriliny serves as a tool to dictate the norms of patriarchy and has prevented women from gaining visibility and voice across the ages. It traces the trajectory of women’s oppression as a colonial and post-colonial subject, using select pieces from Lakshadweep oral literature.
Roots and Routes: Home and Belonging in Embodied Performativity
Authors: Dr. Sangeetha Varma
Published: September 2022

This paper aims at examining the expressive potential of poetry in the spoken word and the ‘performative turn’ in the world of poetry, which blurs the lines between a poem and its performance, thus expanding the field of poesis and poetics. It analyses “Homeward”, the performance poetry of Bassey Ikpi, a spoken word artist,  who brings alive the picture of her childhood in her grandmother’s home in Nigeria fusing together both the narrative and the visual through the spoken word.
Gender Incongruity and Trans-identity: A Reading of Leslie Fienberg’s Stone Butch Blues
Authors: I. P. Remya
Published: September 2022

The word Transgender is often used as an aggregate term for those who transgressconventional binary gender boundaries. Based on Simon de Beauvoir’s pronouncement in The Second Sex, “one is not born but rather becomes a woman” (283), Judith Butler affirms that gender is fluid. Butler, by deconstructing the binary of male-female, demonstrates that the boundary implied inside this pair is ‘inalienably flimsy.’ The perspectives of the queer community are often unheard in an atmosphere where heterosexual hegemony is active. The hostile surroundings in which the trans-people live and the traumatic experiences they undergo fill them with constant fear and anxiety in confronting their real selves and asserting their identities. People who are marginalised because of their sexuality have always had to seek mainstream acceptance to get the rights and freedoms they need for a dignified life. The purpose of this study is to explore the resistance strategies that trans-genders adopt when met with adversity and the ways in which they see their trans-identity as providing them with a form of strength and resilience. Leslie Feinberg, an American author, in Stone Butch Blues, carves out the entire existence of Jess Goldberg, a butch lesbian who undergoes physical and mental transformation.

A Culinary Voyage to St. Andrews
Authors: Lakshmi B
Published: September 2022

Culinary landscapes are forms of communication rich with meanings and represent our attitudes, practices, symbols and rituals. A study of foodways often constitutes and is inclusive of how we obtain, prepare, and consume food. The methods by which food shapes and is shaped by social constructs are crucial to the examination of food ways. Since consumption of food is socially constructed, it is an integral part of culture and an expression of our cultural identity. St Andrews is bequeathed with a multicultural food heritage. It has over the centuries managed to beautifully absorb and blend with the traditional culinary practices there by enriching and enhancing the native cuisine. But the difference lies in the fact that it has in no way diminished the essential colonial flavour.
Self Writing. Writing History
Authors: Sridhar
Published: September 2022

Using a couple of examples of Life Writing published in the 19th century Andhra country, this presentation will try to explore how different individuals inscribe their selves into history even as they become witness to history.  I am picking up for detailed analysis two examples of life writing, Enugula Veeraswamy’s Kasiyatra Charitra (1838),  a journal or a travelogue (in Telugu), whichever way one prefers to see it, and an autobiography in English titled The Life of Vennelacunty Soob Row…(1873).  Both worked as translators and interpreters under the East India Company.  Though Veeraswamy’s travelogue was published earlier, and Soob Row’s autobiography was published posthumously many years later, the period both the texts cover, is the first half of the 19th century.
Difficult Subjects: Conceptualising the Politics of Women’s Lifewritings
Authors: Malhotra Meenakshi
Published: September 2022

The paper seeks to enquire about a significant gap and absence in 19th and early 20thcentury literary history. While lifewritings as a genre was becoming increasingly popular among newly literate women, there is often a silence about the histories and life narratives of many recalcitrant, difficult subjects. Peculiarly and perhaps paradoxically, some of these subjects-often women- were well-known in their lifetime, but have later been relegated to anonymity and neglect.

This paper focuses on the autobiographical narrative of Sarala Debi Chaudhurani’s (1872-1945)“JibanerJharapata,” which could be translated to “Life’s Scattered/ Fallen Leaves”. As Rabindranath Tagore’s niece, she aspired to India’s freedom, and believed that the key to India’s freedom and progress lay in developing a physical culture. She propounded the invention of traditions which propagated and put forward a culture of ‘muscular nationalism’. In the course of her work, she came into conflict with Tagore whose ideas of nationalism were in stark contrast.

This paper glances at her ideological divide with Tagore, her interaction with Gandhi and wonders why her autobiography has been neglected for the better part of a century. Is it because her right wing views sat oddly with secular historians? Or is it because she was a difficult, recalcitrant subject whose story-and life narrative did not ‘fit’ in either with dominant trends in historiography or existing paradigms of women’s autobiography?
Can Education Contribute to Peace?
Authors: Krishna Kumar
Published: September 2022

The paper questions the common assumption that education promotes peace. By referring to pedagogic routines and the political culture of nationalism, the paper indicates the nature of reforms education requires for contributing to peace. The basis of discussion is the author’s own study of the role played by school education, specifically through the teaching of history, in maintaining mutual hostility between India and Pakistan. The paper is divided into four sections. The first section summarizes conceptual issues raised by philosophers and educators in the context of schooling and peace. Section II introduces the author’s Indo-Pak study in relation to the challenges that nationalism, religion and culture place before education. Section III deals with regimentation as an integral aspect of modern schooling and its implications for the role expected from education in promoting peace. The final section discusses the demands and contradictions education faces under the increasing dominance of the human capital ideology. The paper concludes by highlighting the importance of humanist goals and processes in education for serving the cause of peace.

The late nineteenth and early twentieth century were rife with discussions regarding the changes that were being witnessed in the sartorial realm owing to the increased influence of western lifestyles. Divergent opinions were voiced regarding the level of ‘modern’ influence to be allowed in the sartorial realm.
REDEFINING FAMILY: DISCOURSES IN EARLY WOMEN’S MAGAZINES IN KERALA
Authors: Whyni Gopi
Published: September 2022

The main theme of this paper is to find out the role of early women magazines in developing a favourable attitude among the people for changes in the age-old customs and traditions constituting family in Kerala. This paper considered the articles in Sarada and Lakshmibai, the early women magazines in Kerala and tried to find out the extent to which the articles influenced the reform of family system in Kerala. It is evident that the magazines focused on uplifting women but one could clearly comprehend the way the new ideas and developments related to women also contributed to family reform. The paper only intends to show this trend rather being preoccupied with renaissance of women. In short, this paper aims to look into the part played by Sarada and Lakshmibai in reconstituting family in Kerala.
Representation of Women Through Centuries: An Analysis of Select Articles from the Path breaking Malayalam Women’s Magazines, Mahilaratnam(1916)and Sahodari(1925).
Authors: Reshma. P. K
Published: September 2022

The 21st century shows progressive spirit in many aspects. However, the representation of women can hardly be considered as an area which has shown much progress. Compared to 20th-century iterations, they show a steady decline.  The Malayalam women’s magazines which flourished towards the end of 19th century and early 20th century showed a promising phase in the education and development of women. The paper intends to show this contrast by a close analysis of some works from this period. In this paper, I analyze select articles from the Malayalam magazines Mahilaratnam(1916)andSahodari(1925).I will be exploring an Advertisement, a Matrimonial Notice, and an article titled Sthreekalude Abhinyuathi(Women Empowerment) by Mrs. C. Jacob from the magazine Mahilaratnam (1916)and three articles titled Streedharmam(Women’s Duty)by K.Ayyappan, Grihanayikakalude Vidhyabhyasam(Education of Housewives)by N.Kumaran,and Sthreekalum Swathanthryabodhavum(Women and their sense of Freedom)by K.C.Naryanan from the magazine Sahodari(1925).
Unequal Laughter: Cartoons and Gender Stereotyping in Modern Kerala
Authors: Binumol Abraham
Published: September 2022

The present study analyses different gender images in the cartoons and comic strips that appeared in magazines and newspapers of 20th century Kerala. The study explores the nature and depth of stereotypical and archetypical representations of women and men involved in cartoons. Stereotyping tends to occur where there are gross inequalities of power (Hall 258). Here power is directed against the subordinate group, women. Women are the main subject matter of laughter in cartoons, and women-specific humour/cartoons are overloaded with stereotypes. Women’s craze for new dresses and ornaments, passion for fashion, imitations for western ideas and styles, images of women active in the club, women’s pompousness, etc., are some aspects of stereotyping. Women and their character traits appear as a laughing matter in cartoons and comic strips. However, man is laughed at for being a ‘henpecked’ husband who fears his wife. Here too, a woman is the reason behind laughing at men. In most of the cartoons, women are seen as a product and taste factor for laughter. Such stereotypes are still continuing to play a powerful role in the popular perception of gender.

Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) are goods of biological origin, from forests, that can be collected in the wild or produced in forest plantations. Currently, interest in NTFPs has increased with growing awareness of forest deforestation and the need to diversify and increase the value of forest resources. Among these non-timber products are extractives that include essential oils. The latter have great ecological importance, because they are attributed the protection of the plant against nematodes, herbivores (insects and mammals), defense against attack by microorganisms (viruses, bacteria and fungi), adaptation against water stress,in addition to being attractive for pollination (Sepúlveda, Porta, & Rocha, 2003). In addition, they are used as inputs in the pharmaceutical, food, therapeutic aroma, cosmetic industry, etc.This publication aims to summarize the chemical-biological scientific knowledge about the matico (Piper aduncumL.)More than 50 compounds have been identified in this species, which can be grouped into chromenes, phenylpropanoids, benzoic acid derivatives and flavonoids. The most relevant aspects of the pharmacological properties were described as their origin, their sources and metabolism, their properties as antiallergic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, analgesic.

The man's utilitarian conception is sustained by the men, who have sought-after qualities. The sciences even go as far as writing the man's theories ready to the manipulation or even his judgment. These attitudes send back us to the critique that Soren Kierkegaard had formulated against the faith. What imports thus in Christianity is not to understand but to live according to all his requirements and in the fullness of his sense. Whatever he doesn't sustain the subjectivism, by his demands, he wants to put in relief the value that is" individual ". He finds in Christianity the source of his demand. 

The problematic of our investigating, driven us to know what it is the faith, as passion and adherence in the philosophy of Kierkegaard. This last consists of the faith, here that that in his way, Hegel with a lot of exactness, name the interior certainty, that anticipates the infinity. The faith has his own rationality of that the reason will never consist. It is what the absolute paradox of Kierkegaard founds. Kierkegaard has the merit to have inaugurated a reflection fascinated on the existing and to his situation in the world. Of the different treaties on the anguish, the despair, guilt, main existential dramas that it exhumed, gave back a new breath to the philosophical reflection.

In their dejected work, in African earth and in Democratic Republic of Congo, the first foreign missionaries played two roles: to announce Christ's gospel and to sustain the colonial politics. The dismissal of the culture of the countries evangelized drove to the failure of these missionaries although the missionary work produced positive effects in the African and Congolese surroundings. We have included very quickly that as soon as a civilization succeeds in imposing itself to another, it is usually born a half-caste culture of which some values risk to fade away before those of the most influential civilization of the two. It is why, we wanted to contribute the custom that was in force in the way to believe the African evidently in writing, while granting priority to Christianity to correct, especially by African theologians themselves, the abuses of their own tradition.

WHAT IS SOCIAL ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA? The Rejuvenation of Television as social media
Authors: Aganbi Victor
Published: September 2022

WHAT IS SOCIAL ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA: The Rejuvenation of Television as Social Media highlights television as the dominant social medium of all time. Communication of any sort is already social interaction involving the sending of a message to a receiver, and the feelings and thoughts of the receiver upon interpreting the message within the viewpoint of a single linear model or two linear models stacked on top of each other to cater for feedback loop in the S-M-M-R (Sender-Message-Medium-Receiver) communication framework. "Truth" and "ideas" are constructed or invented through the social process wherein the sender channels a message to the receiver and the receiver then becomes the sender and channels a message to the original sender. This feedback model includes cultural background, ethnicity, geographic location, extent of travel, and general personal experiences accumulated over the course of interactant’s lifetime. Thus, the question “what is social about social media” is rhetorical and points to the obvious – the human elements (sender and receiver) define any communication process as SOCIAL and any communication media as SOCIAL MEDIA. Though instantaneity of message delivery and simultaneousness of feedback are contingent to mass communication, they remain elusive and constitute the problem inherent in nearly all forms of media, including the so-called social media platforms. However, social media and television broadcasting have a number of connections and interrelationships that have led to the phenomenon of Social Television. Social Television is an emerging communication digital technology centered around real-time interactivity involving media displayed on television. Through in-depth review, analyses and synthesis of scanty literature, this research questions the description of television as “traditional” or “old.” And, more so, the worn phrase “social media” or “emergent media” in exclusion of television is misnomer. Television – the underrated, overlooked but potentially the most powerful social medium from its humble beginnings, can be more appropriately celebrated as rejuvenated social media. In conclusion, this researcher proposes an updated definition and categorisation of television as social media. The author further makes the case that as television has always been social, never ceased to evolve and is still evolving as social media, it qualifies as emergent media consistent with its dramatically expanding capacity and capabilities beyond sound, picture and text.
