Attempt a semiotic study of Girish Karnad’s play assigned to you. You may finalise your own topic/title around the play assigned. If you wish you may do a semiotic study of the translation of the play to the language you are most familiar with. In which case please inform me in advance and during the submission of your research paper, attach a copy of the translation.
You will be evaluated based on understanding of semiotics, research competence displayed, and overall performance. Should you wish to incorporate any other criteria do let me know. Please ensure that you are making an argument in your research paper.
You will have to submit the paper in hard copy, printed back to back, and email a soft copy to me. Format: A4 paper, 14 font size, 1 ½ line spaced, font- Times New Roman. While the hard copies will be bound and made available in the library for general reference, the soft copies will be uploaded to this blog and scribd.
Date of submission will be decided mutually during my lecture hour tomorrow.

I am a German Ph.D. student, researching on the subject of self-translation and would be very interested in getting more information about Karnad as a self-translator. Can you recommend me any studies/ works on this subject? Thank you very much.
Dear Eva, I too am working on self-translation for my PhD. To my knowledge there is no work so far which has looked at Karnad as self-translator. However, would be happy to keep the research dialogue on in this area. My email id ajpinto42gmail.com.
