Gandhian Centre of MAHE introduces two new-age contemporary PG programmes
Representational Image MANIPAL: The Gandhian Centre for Philosophical Arts and Sciences, MAHE has added two new-age contemporary postgraduate programmes. Along with MA in ecosophical aesthetics, launched last year, yet another innovative programme - MA in art and peace studies has been launched from this academic year, Varadesh Hiregange, director, Gandhian Centre for Philosophical Arts and Sciences (GCPAS), stated.
While different arts and philosophy are a common thread in both PG programmes, ecosophical aesthetics primarily deals with contemporary ecological crises and philosophical appreciation of art forms, while the art and peace studies deals with social and international crises and how art could be used as a medium for peace. The courses explore ‘root’ of different contemporary crises and way out/way forward/way within.
With this basis, both programmes prepare students for a life of writing - journalism, media, and communication, Varadesh said, adding in the new curriculum of ecosophical aesthetics new subjects such as translation studies and yakshagana studies have been introduced. Along with certain common subjects, peace studies include subjects such as society and polity, development studies, gender studies and Gandhian Studies.
While ecosophical Aesthetics focusses more on humanities, peace studies focus more on social sciences. Anyone with graduation or equivalent degree can take up these programmes. The professional possibilities include journalism, media and communication, socio-cultural, political, and environmental sector, academics and research, policy research organisations, and so on.
