ESF Fringe Podcast: Karvan and Travelling Together by Voices from the E:SF Fringe published on 2020-06-25T10:43:53Z How do we travel together without physically moving? Housed within a bright blue converted van called the Karvan, is a treasure trove of art and literary objects from around the world. The Karvan is a marvel of storytelling aimed at exploring narratives of identity and illuminating how we travel through what we read. In this podcast, Dr Emma Dawson Varughese discusses her project and responds to the issue of travelling during and after the recent events of the pandemic. She opens an intriguing exploration that is shaped, not only by the question of where do we go from here? but also where do we call home? Presented and produced by Dr Ellie Beal for English Shared Futures Website: https://www.englishsharedfutures.uk Twitter: @EngSharedFuture Dr Emma Dawson Varughese is an independent, global cultural studies scholar specialising in post-millennial Indian literary and visual cultures, Dr E. Dawson Varughese works at the intersection of world literature, visual studies and cultural studies, drawing on ethnographic research paradigms to conduct her fieldwork. She explores the encoding of modernity in popular cultures, literary and visual, and is interested in how new modes of storying society enmesh with the post-millennial moment. She is a Snr Fellow at Manipal Centre for Humanities, MAHE, Manipal, India where she lives part of the year.
