This conference was the 5th event organised within the AHRC-funded Research Network Series ‘Writing, Analysing, Translating Dalit Literature’. It was hosted by the English Department at Savitribai Phule Pune University. The focus of this conference was the representation of gender in Dalit literature. We asked for contribution that addressed questions such as: How is (Dalit) masculinity and femininity reconfigured in Dalit novels, autobiographies, poems, short stories and films? How do Dalit literary texts reflect, challenge, or otherwise transform the production of gendered identities of Dalit subjects and citizens in historical and political discourse? Has Dalit literature taken up the specific challenges posed by Dalit feminist activism, or otherwise challenged the impasse of hegemonic feminism with regard to the question of representation? To what extent do these texts take up the questions of aesthetics, politics and representation and how do they challenge certainties?
The conference followed a workshop format that included discussions with writers, scholars and keynote speakers as well as traditional panel sessions.

‘Woman’ in Dalit Women Writing: a Collective panel chaired by Urmila Pawar • Publishing since the 1980s, Tsering Döndrup’s novels and short stories have been honored with Tibetan, Mongolian, and Chinese literary prizes. He’s among the most prominent Tibetan writers working today, but as with the great majority of Tibetan fiction, translations of his work remain scarce. This winter, Columbia University Press released the first collection of Döndrup’s work in English, with a suite of stories selected and translated by Christopher Peacock. Populated by a dizzying cast of characters—from corrupt lamas and venal deities to the incorrigible Ralo and the souls of the recently deceased—the collection The Handsome Monk and Other Stories presents us with both the diversity of subject matter that only decades of craft and experience can bring, and the discernible unity of vision we expect of a great artist. Peacock’s translation lucidly animates the stories, even as their author arranges separate realities for the action of each to unfold inside. Also preserved is the author’s humor: at times profoundly bleak, but always incisive. In this conversation, we discuss the challenges of translating Tsering Döndrup’s fiction, as well as the position of Tibetan fiction outside Tibet.
