Kafka the Hikikomori: Rethinking Decision, Delay, and Melancholy in Contemporary Life
2026-02-20 14:00 - 17:00 | Tiered Classroom, 5th Floor, Admin Block
Department of Media Studies, Easwari School of Liberal Arts (ESLA), SRM University-AP, is hosting a talk titled “Kafka the Hikikomori:Decision, Procrastination, and Melancholy”. The talk invites audiences into a rich philosophical exploration of decision-making, hesitation, and the emotional realities of modern existence.
The session examines how acts of delay, uncertainty, and withdrawal shape human thought and behaviour. Rather than viewing procrastination or indecision as weaknesses, the lecture frames them as meaningful conditions shaped by reflection, possibility, and the pressure of choice in contemporary life.
Concept and Intellectual Context
Drawing on the works of Franz Kafka, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, and Gilles Deleuze, the lecture places literature and philosophy into dialogue to rethink how decisions are formed. Kafka’s protagonists—often caught in cycles of waiting, doubt, and repetition—become figures through which modern psychological and social conditions can be understood.
Leibniz’s reflections on deliberation and hesitation are revisited to examine how thought itself can suspend action. Deleuze’s reinterpretation of decision as struggle rather than assertion opens up a different way of understanding agency—not as a moment of certainty, but as a process shaped by time, repetition, and difference. The talk also engages ideas associated with Félix Guattari to consider how identity, environment, and social structures influence our ability to act.
Central to the lecture is the contemporary phenomenon of hikikomori, or extreme social withdrawal. Reading Kafka through this lens, the session explores how isolation, introspection, and emotional fatigue shape modern subjectivity. Decision emerges not as a simple exercise of willpower, but as something fragile, delayed, and negotiated within a complex web of internal and external pressures.
Speaker
Joff P N Bradley
Full Professor of English and Philosophy at Teikyo University, Tokyo. His research spans cinema studies, post-media theory, Deleuze studies, educational philosophy, and Japanese cultural contexts. With extensive international academic engagement, his work explores how philosophy intersects with technology, media, and contemporary social life.
Why This Talk Matters
In a world defined by constant decision-making, information overload, and growing social isolation, this lecture asks urgent questions:

What does it mean to hesitate in an age that demands speed and productivity?
Can procrastination be understood as a philosophical condition rather than a personal failure?
How do repetition, reflection, and self-awareness reshape our capacity to act?
What might it mean to interrupt cycles of melancholy and reclaim agency?

By connecting philosophy, literature, and contemporary lived experience, the session offers new ways to understand emotional life, intellectual struggle, and the complexities of modern subjectivity.
Audience
This lecture is open to students, researchers, faculty, and anyone interested in philosophy, literature, media studies, psychology, and contemporary cultural thought. It will be particularly relevant for those exploring questions of decision-making, procrastination, self-reflection, and the experience of living in an increasingly introspective and disconnected world.

UDL#23 - Is AI Really Useful for Materials Science?
2026-02-24 11:00 - 13:00 | ALC 1, Homi J Bhabha Block
The Office of Dean-Research is organising the 23rd edition of the University Distinguished Lecture inviting Prof. Stefano Sanvito, Professor and Chair of Condensed Matter Theory, School of Physics and Director, CRANN (Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices), Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.
Title of the Lecture: “Is AI Really Useful for Materials Science?”
Abstract
AI and machine learning have rapidly become important tools for our daily life, providing assistance over many tasks. These, however, often concern relatively low-stake domains, such as idea generation, text summarisation, automated paper writing/ reviewing, etc. The physical sciences, however, demand far more: accuracy at the level of experimental validation, reproducibility across thousands of steps and the orchestration of a vast and diverse toolset.
In this talk I will describe our attempts at integrating machine-learning and AI methods into materials science, by looking at rather different domains. Firstly, I will discuss a machine-learning scheme for predicting the Curie temperature of ferromagnets, which uses solely the chemical composition of a compound as feature and experimental data as target [1]. In particular, I will discuss how to develop meaningful feature attributes for magnetism and how these can be informed by experimental and theoretical results. Furthermore, I will show how the experimental data can be mined from published scientific literature with the help of natural language processing tools [2].
Then, I will describe how an accurate description of the structure of materials, which is amenable to be used with machine learning, can offer a quantum-chemistry-accurate description of local properties at virtually no computational costs. This is based on a newly developed cluster expansion formulated in terms of Jacobi-Legendre polynomials. Such general framework allows us to construct, on the same footing, extremely accurate force fields [3] as well as converged electron densities [4]. These can both be integrated in material-discovery workflows generating unprecedented speedup.
Finally, I will present two examples of how visual-graphic techniques can be integrated into materials science. In the first case autoencoder neural networks will be used to denoise scanning electron transmission microscopy images [5], thus allowing us to perform microscopy on fragile samples, which rapidly degrade under electron irradiation. In the second case, I will use movie- enhancement methods to provide high-resolution tomographic maps of complex materials complexes [6]. Importantly, the same method can also be used for medical imaging and can be incorporated in medical devices.

Talk on Internet Adoption, Gender and Productivity in Informal Firms
2026-02-26 12:00 - 13:00 | C-503, C V Raman Block
Paari School of Business (PSB) is organising an External Research Talk on “Internet Adoption, Gender and Productivity in Informal Firms in India” on February 26, 2026. The talk will be delivered by Ms Jayati Chatterjee, Research scholar at IIT Madras.
Using nationally representative data from 2010 to 2023, the study analyses the impact of internet adoption on firm productivity in India’s unorganised sector, with a particular focus on gender differences. The findings reveal that internet adoption leads to an average increase of 28 percent in firm productivity. However, a substantial gender productivity gap remains, as female-owned enterprises exhibit nearly 48 percent lower productivity compared to male-owned firms. Notably, female-led enterprises that adopt internet technology experience a 23 percent increase in productivity, which helps narrow the productivity gap relative to firms that do not adopt the internet. These results underscore the significant role of digital technology in enhancing productivity and fostering gender-inclusive growth within the informal sector.
About the Speaker
Ms Jayati Chatterjee is a research scholar in Economics at IIT Madras, specializing in development economics and industrial organisation. Her research focuses on digital technology adoption among small firms, with an emphasis on gender. Her work has been published in top peer-reviewed journals, and she has presented her research at international conferences, including those organized by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI), and the University of Tokyo.

Guest Lecture on Advancing Water Treatment
2026-03-05 12:00 - 13:00 | Tiered Classroom, 5th Floor, Admin Block
The Department of Chemistry is organising a Department Guest Lecture titled “Advancing Water Treatment: From Electrochemical Oxidation to Electrified Membranes” by Dr Naresh Mameda, Brain Pool Invited Scientist, Kyungpook National University, South Korea.
About the Speaker
Dr Naresh Mameda received his PhD in Chemistry from CSIR–Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (India) in 2016. He subsequently conducted postdoctoral research and served as a Research Professor at Kyungpook National University, South Korea. He is currently a Brain Pool Invited Scientist at Kyungpook National University, Korea. His research focuses on electrochemical oxidation, catalytic materials, and electrified membrane systems for sustainable wastewater treatment and water reuse. Dr Mameda has published over 77 peer-reviewed articles, holds two patents, authored two book chapters, and serves as a guest editor for journals including Crystals, Catalysts, and Membranes.
Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation has attracted significant attention as an effective approach for degrading persistent organic pollutants by in-situ generating reactive oxidants. However, limitations related to mass transfer, electrode durability, and energy efficiency have motivated the development of integrated treatment strategies. This presentation discusses recent advances in coupling electrochemical oxidation with membrane separation to create multifunctional electrified membrane systems [1-6]. Key highlights include catalytic anodes designed for micropollutant degradation [4,6], hybrid electrochemical-membrane reactors for simultaneous filtration and oxidation [1,3], and electroactive nanowire membranes with improved conductivity and stability [2,5]. Continuous-flow studies demonstrate the efficient removal of organic contaminants, pathogens, and particulates, with enhanced fouling control, illustrating the potential of electrified membranes as sustainable, scalable technologies for water reuse.

National Symposium on Andhra in Historical Perspective
2026-03-06 10:00 - 13:00 | Tiered Classroom, 5th Floor, Admin Block
The Department of History, Easwari School of Liberal Arts (ESLA) is organising a National Symposium on Andhra in Historical Perspective: Pre-Colonial Histories of Gender, Religion, Trading Networks and Heritage on March 06, 2026.
This symposium seeks to engage with the historical significance of ‘Andhra’ as a distinct cultural and political region in the pre-colonial period by situating it within its broader Deccan context, focusing on the historical change. It aims to bring the region’s rich archaeological and architectural heritage, particularly the Buddhist sites of Amaravati and Nagarjunakonda, and other important sites that testify to diverse religious and trade networks, and patterns of patronage that shaped pre-colonial Andhra society to the forefront. By bringing together scholars working on diverse historiographical and methodological approaches, the symposium also intends to generate critical discussions on historiographical debates, gender relations, and trading networks in pre-colonial Andhra, highlighting the intersections of gender, religion, economy, and power. Hosted at Amaravati, a site of profound historical and archaeological significance, the event aims to deepen academic engagement at ESLA and SRM-AP while broadening interdisciplinary dialogue rooted in the region’s historical landscape and increasing engagement for scholars and students looking at the themes and related histories of the region.
Speakers
Prof. Aloka Parasher Sen, Professor Emerita, University of Hyderabad
Prof R. Mahalakshmi, Centre of Historical Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University
