Keynote Address by Nikita Sonavane
Theme: The Body As Data
It has been 150 years since the creation of the Criminal Tribes Act, 1871, a colonial law that classified several tribes as hereditary, habitual criminals, justifying blanket surveillance and injustice. The law was repealed in August 1952 but do those colonial attitudes continue to imbue the criminal justice system? Through the analysis of arrest data and bail orders passed against Vimukta women in Madhya Pradesh, this keynote demonstrates how Adivasi and Vimukta women’s bodies get constituted as criminal and continue to be the sites of casteist state repression.

Theme: The Body As Data
If we think of data as an extension of the body that generates it, what does that do to the idea of consent? How does feminist thinking around sexual consent strengthen consent regimes in data protection? Such a journey is promising because of the close entanglements between our bodies and our data. This talk will take listeners through current and familiar data practices and how they are related to our personhood.

Theme: The Body As Data
What do we mean when we use the word 'data'? When did the word 'data' come to live cheek-by-jowl amongst us? If we do the thought experiment of replacing the word 'data' with another one, what would it be? If we let go of the word, would it change its preset connotations?
