| Abstract: | Being subjected with the experience of studying at an engineering
college, I happened to witness the living experiences, aspirations and
values that make an 'engineer' beyond all the techy stuff he learns in
the classroom. Add to it the different background and identity of
students and the acute realization that "This – is- not – IIT", which
more often then not looms large in everyone's conscience. Hence,
engineering colleges constitute of interesting and fantastical cultural
dynamics wherein a mix of identities, cultures and aspirations are
played out in non-metropolitan spaces to get an amalgamation of
different worlds in one campus. Through this project I aim to study the
phase of social and emotional renaissance which unavoidably crops up
during one's stay away from his natural locale.
The end-product of the research will be in form of a series of essays
with illustrations and will cover the following:
1. An ethnographic description of B Grade Engineering college culture
and student experience.
2. Mapping out the changing dynamics of this space along with that of
its physical location and how the latter contributes to receives and
experiences this culture.
3. Hypothetical possibilities of how these might affect the physical and
cultural space.
4. How these aspects affect one’s politics, conscience, personhood.
5. How these experiences influence and form the outlook towards the
world at large or view points nurtured here during the four years of a
students stay. |
