Abstract:
This UGC seminar session was an attempt to understand, from a non-traditional lens, the relevance of critical theory in context to today’s ever-changing technology space that is moving towards the Automation, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Distributed Computing, become much more important in history than ever, as it deals with softer aspects of human identity and socio-cultural dimension through communication or human expression.

This interactive session will have two major focus:

1. A brief overview of the critical theories from a diachronic lens that will be helping the students in grasping the fundamentals in a socio-cultural context.

2. A cross-discipline comparison with the modern design-driven practices in the software industry that would help the students understand the potential and opportunities in the real world scenario where these theories would help.

Posted on July 11, 2018 by Samir Dash

Any typical software product that is delivered involves many complex as well as divergent technologies, processes, people, and visions. Though software delivery mostly happens with team members segmented into two major groups—developers and designers—ultimately, the best outcome always depends on how the two teams communicate with each other and how efficiently their thoughts and ideas are shared, propagated, and translated.

DesOps Culture is Essentially a Culture of the Open Organization

Posted on July 11, 2018July 11, 2018 by Samir Dash

Almost 18 years back, while being at a Arts collage with with specialization in Critical Theory, I was first introduced to the idea how multiple disciplines converge together, in order to make more meaningful contribution towards the areas like literature and poetry and films, which touches and excites human emotions and drive the values that our social existence depends upon. Those times, from Longinus’s Republic and Longinus’s Sublime toDerrida’s Deconstruction Theory, ignited the curiosity on how these overlapping insights can help bridging things and needs in real world…
