Prof. (Dr.) Divyajyoti Singh, Chairperson of the Department of Literature and Languages and Convenor of the conference, shared that in today's global and digital era, storytelling has transcended traditional boundaries to assume multilayered and multidimensional forms. Narratives are evolving continuously across literature, cinema, digital media, social platforms, artificial intelligence, law, and mass communication. The conference will provide a serious academic platform to discuss the changing dimensions of narrative construction, dissemination, and discourse in this context.

The inaugural session will take place on February 18, 2026, at 10:00 AM in the University Auditorium.

 Vice-Chancellor Prof. Rajive Kumar will also address the gathering. He commended the initiative, stating: “It is praiseworthy that the Department of Literature and Languages is organizing this international conference on ‘Transmedia Storytelling: Narratives, Discourse and Dissemination’. In the present time, the process of storytelling is dynamically circulating across various media, platforms, and disciplines, profoundly influencing our communication, thinking, and social engagement. Such a conference encourages meaningful dialogue between literature, media, technology, and culture.” He expressed confidence that the event will serve as an effective platform for scholars, students, and researchers to exchange ideas and explore new perspectives.

The conference will feature presentations and lectures from renowned national and international scholars. Among the international speakers participating online are Prof. Margit Koves (Delhi University, with international affiliations), Prof. David Blumenkrantz (California State University, USA), Prof. Ahmar Mahboob (University of Sydney, Australia), Prof. Iuliia Shamaieva (Ukraine), and Dr. Anna M. Kuzio (Poland), along with several other distinguished experts.
 Over the two days, plenary sessions will delve into contemporary themes such as “Narratives and Discourse”, “Artificial Intelligence in the Context of Narratives”, “European and Global Perspectives”, and “Rhetoric and Efficacy”. Parallel technical sessions will allow researchers and scholars to present their papers. The second day will include a quiz competition, academic discussions, and a valedictory session.

This conference offers a valuable opportunity for students, research scholars, and faculty to deepen their understanding of the contemporary media landscape and engage in global academic dialogue.
