NEWSLETTER JULY 2016 4 KERALA SOCIOLOGICAL SOCIETY Greetings from the President… It is with great pleasure that we are releasing the next issue of the News Letter of Kerala Sociological Society. The Society enters into a new phase of its transition with the entry of many new members, most of whom represent the new generation of Sociologists. I wish all new comers a warm welcome and put the plea before them that the responsibility vested in you is so drastic that the world around us is stirring very fast with new technological and social advancements and many so called social upheavals. We need to cope with the transitions which may happen to the generation today in the event of a Communication and Mass Social Media Revolution. The concomitant spatial mobility and resultant social transfusions in spatial, socio - cultural and religion – ethic boulevards of modern life are also to be seriously dealt with. I wish all the best compliments for the forthcoming get together of Sociologists in Kerala and outside at our Annual National Conference in Zamorin’s Guruvayoorappan College, Calicut which is one of the historical and traditional abodes of knowledge in Northern Kerala. I would also appeal you to initiate proficient academic groundings to mobilize and equip our students in the various institutes and colleges so as to elicit ample academic zest in them. With best regards, R K Varghese MANAGING COMMITTEE Office Bearers President: Sri RK Varghese (Sacred Heart College) Vice President: Dr (Sr) Licy A.D (Carmel College) Secretary cum Treasurer: Dr Sara Neena (Vimala College) Members Dr. Antony Palackal (Loyola College) Dr. Shobha B Nair M (Uty of Kerala) Dr. Saritha R (MG College) Dr. Uttara Soman (SN College) Dr. Sunil John (KNM Govt College) Ms. Dora Dominic (St Teresa’s College) Ms. Ani Merly Paul (CMS College) Dr. MridulaVenugopal (MA College) Ms. Badariya Beegum (Farook College) Dr. N P Hafiz Mohammed (Uty of Calicut) Sri.

Rakhi. N (HOD Dept. of Sociology) The Zamorin’s Guruvayurappan College, Kozhikode, Kerala -673014 About the Theme of the Conference “Sociology of Spatial Transformations” Space is one of the most significant concepts for discussion in social science. The analysis of space helps to create an understanding of the different processes involved in the construction and transformation of spaces, the consequences of which is evident in the different aspects of social life. Spatial transformation is leaving an indelible mark on the contemporary society. The relation between the social and the spatial is as much practical as well as a theoretical. David Harvey’s explanation of socio-spatial transformation processes as an expression of ‘space-time compression’ revolutionizes the objective qualities of space and time in such a way that we are forced to alter, how we represent the world to ourselves. Lefebvre’s argument that space is a social product helps to focus on the contradictory, conflictual, and political character of the processes of production of space. The emergence of ‘translocalities’ is also quite relevant in the analysis of spatial transformations. Any discussion of space and spatial transformation cannot exclude the socio political dimensions involved in the process. This conference aims to bring out the dynamics of spatial transformations, its causes and consequences. SUB THEMES Theoretical perspectives on spatial transformations Spatial Transformation and its social consequences Transformations of urban and rural spaces Spatial Transformation and Development Spatial Transformation and Migration Spatial Transformation and Gentrification Urban Interventions and Spatial Transformations Spatial Transformation and Gender Spatial Transformation and Globalization Spatial Transformations: A Critical Analysis Papers and Posters are invited for the conference. There will be screening and selection of papers to be presented.
