Impact of culture, language highlightedISLAMABAD: Writers, poets, linguists, research scholars and thinkers on the third day of a conference explore ISLAMABAD: Writers, poets, linguists, research scholars and thinkers on the third day of a conference explored the impact of language and literature on society. The 4th international literary conference on “Language, literature and society” aims at exploring new and innovative trends and challenges of research in language and literature across the world and its impact on society. The Pakistan Academy of Letters (PAL0 has arranged the conference in collaboration with major universities of Pakistan. The third-day proceeding was inaugurated by Adviser to Prime Minister on National History and Literary Heritage Irfan Siddiqui, who declared Year 2017 as Zarb-i-Qalm to highlight the soft image of the country. He said the objective of the conference was to promote tolerance, counter extremism and give a chance to literary people of different countries to sit together. “A number of steps have been taken to nurture literary culture and norms in the country, such as government has increased the endowment fund for the welfare of literary people from Rs300 million to Rs500 million, accidental death grant from Rs200,000 to Rs1 million and the health cover from Rs100,000 to Rs200,000.” Mr Irfan said a television programme had also been launched to provide a voice to literary issues among the hard core problems related to politics, economics or other current affairs. According to PAL, over 1,000 literary figures, scholars, university faculty members, students and people from different walks of life are attending the conference. They included intellectuals from Afghanistan, Iran, Singapore, the Maldives, Finland, Azerbaijan, China, Oman, Nepal, Lebanon and Uzbekistan. Prof Dr Mohammad Qasim Bughio of PAL told Dawn that the conference had been organised keeping in view the present national and international scenario to highlight the soft image of Pakistan through a dialogue and exchange of views with the participants. The event would also help in encountering propaganda and disinformation about Pakistan. Literary sessions of renowned writers of all Pakistani languages are also being organised. These sessions have been categorised in two ways: in the memory of literary legends and “meet a writer.” Kishwar Naheed, renowned writer, while speaking at the literary session said commercialism had buried literature in Pakistan. “Pakistani dramas are only made for commercialism without conveying any concrete message. Unfortunately, we cannot find any special programme about literature on the electronic media,” she observed. Munno Bhai, poet and writer, while talking to the media said such conferences were a good platform but if the writers are not able to work without any pressure, they cannot do anything to bring positivity to society. Urdu writer Zahida Hina also criticised the role of the electronic media in the promotion of literature. She said the electronic media was responsible for the declination or downfall of literature in Pakistan. But she expressed the hope that such conferences could highlight the importance of literature and literary people in promoting peach in the society. Mehvish Riaz, an English language teacher at the University of Engineering and Technology Lahore, told Dawn that the conference would develop academic relationship among the world researchers of different backgrounds and languages. The conference will serve as an international forum for researchers, scholars, educators, practitioners, postgraduate students and experts in relevant fields to exchange ideas, research results and good practices. The concluding session of the conference would be held on Sunday followed by a ‘Sufi night’ organised at the National Library to entertain the guests with music. Published in Dawn, January 8th, 2017

Diccionario de políticas públicas. 2a edición eBook by Laurie Boussaguet - KoboPresentamos una segunda traducción del Diccionario de políticas públicas, corregida y aumentada, con 22 nuevos conceptos y corrección y ampliación de los 57 conceptos iniciales. La primera edición del Diccionario de políticas públicas traducido al español se volvió un libro de referencia en los estudios de políticas públicas en Colombia. Esto gracias a la riqueza de los conceptos y la gran variedad de autores, tanto de la tradición francesa como anglo de políticas públicas, lo cual se refuerza en esta segunda edición con nuevos conceptos sobre los temas esenciales del análisis de políticas públicas. Como se dijo en esa primera edición de 2009, que ya ha tenido una segunda reimpresión -y que habla bien de la recepción que ha tenido el Diccionario en el medio académico-, este es más bien un pequeño tratado, habida cuenta de la extensión y desarrollo temático y bibliográfico de cada uno de los conceptos a cargo de los más reconocidos estudiosos de las políticas públicas en Francia y Estados Unidos. En esta oportunidad contamos con una presentación en español de las directoras del Diccionario en francés, Laurie Boussaguet, Sophie Jacquot y Pauline Ravinet, y de un prefacio del reconocido profesor de Harvard Peter A. Hall. En el cual se refuerza la importancia del mismo en el contexto del debate intercontinental sobre las políticas públicas. Esta segunda edición no hubiera podido realizarse sin la acuciosa revisión de la primera edición, por parte del profesor Jean Francois Jolly, profesor titular del Departamento de Arquitectura de la Pontifica Universidad Javeriana - Bogotá, sin duda, uno de los promotores de la escuela francesa de políticas públicas en Colombia. También se contó con la participación de Daniela López Amorocho en la revisión de la nueva bibliografía en español y en el arreglo de las concordancias entre la primera y la segunda edición.
