By

More than Seventy participants joined the Webinar from across India and Globe. Prof. Amitava Chakraborty, Prof of Delhi University, discussed his takes on Modernism, Postmodernism and discussed how they are different in the sociological, ontological, and epistemological points of view. He discussed Rabindranath’s certain writings and criticisms of his paintings with special reference to Ananda Coomaraswamy’s criticism. He raised the academic argument on reading Rabindranath and also discussed the reception of various writers in Ranbindranath’s literary works. The discussion ends with the theoretical arguments on Modernism and Postmodernism, and he raised the argument if there is any link between these theoretical concepts and the journey of Rabindranath through different phases as a writer.
