The next two episodes of Ranan's collaboration with the Jadavpur University Community Radio continue to focus on the issue of 'Youth Violence'. The next episode deals with 'Youth Voices on Youth Violence', followed by a discussion centring around the 'violence' inherent in dance reality shows on television. Details of the programmes are given below.
'Youth Voices on Youth Violence'
Friday, 8 May 2009, 5.30pm
repeat broadcast Saturday, 9 May 2009, 2.30pm
Moderated by Soham and Sohini, students of the Department of Comparative Literature, Jadavpur University, the discussion centres around definitions and reasons for youth violence. The programme presents diverse views from students of St. Xavier's College and Jadavpur University.
'The Culture of Dance Reality Shows'
Friday, 15 May 2009, 5.30pm
repeat broadcast Saturday, 16 May 2009, 2.30pm
This programme asks crucial questions about the contemporary and all-pervasive culture of dance reality shows on television. What actually is a reality show? Does it inflict a sort of psychological violence on the young participants through the intense competitive pressure? Does it encourage building bridges between communities or more regionalism? What are the pros and cons and transparency of the voting process?
Moderated by Shubhodeep Chakroborty, guest speakers include producer-director Raj Chakroborty, artist Kohinoor Sen Barat and participants and parents who have been appeared on dance reality shows.
