Political Ecology of Everyday Resistance and State Building A Case of the Ho of Jharkhand

Resource extraction and conflicts over natural resources are a global phenomenon including in India. Indigenous tribes like the Ho community in Jharkhand are affected by these dynamics as their cultural practices and livelihoods are intertwined with the local ecology. This book explores the process of state formation through developmental intervention in the resource-rich areas of Jharkhand in eastern India which are inhabited by the indigenous Ho community. The conflict in Jharkhand is intertwined with State development projects and capitalist interventions. This book examines the history of these projects and the issues of territorialization dispossession accumulation and marginalization which communities have been fighting against for many decades. It examines the process of development policies and projects shaping and restructuring the resource-rich ecology in the region and addresses the interrelated issues of development-induced dispossession resistance ecological transformation governance illegalities and state-building. It focuses on the questions: what do development projects bring to the Ho community; what induces them to resist and negotiate? How do State decentralization schemes and local governance in resource conflict areas strengthen State capacities? The book highlights the consequences on the livelihoods and cultural practices of the local people because of ecological transformation and everyday resistance. Comprehensive and important this book will be of interest to students and researchers of anthropology sociology political ecology social work development studies ecology developmental sociology indigenous studies law and economic anthropology. | Political Ecology of Everyday Resistance and State Building A Case of the Ho of Jharkhand

A Philosophy of Autobiography Body & Text

A Philosophy of Autobiography Body & Text

This book offers intimate readings of a diverse range of global autobiographical literature with an emphasis on the (re)presentation of the physical body. The twelve texts discussed here include philosophical autobiography (Nietzsche) autobiographies of self-experimentation (Gandhi Mishima Warhol) literary autobiography (Hemingway Das) as well as other genres of autobiography including the graphic novel (Spiegelman Satrapi) as also documentations of tragedy and injustice and subsequent spiritual overcoming (Ambedkar Pawar Angelou Wiesel). In exploring different literary forms and orientations of the autobiographies the work remains constantly attuned to the physical body a focus generally absent from literary criticism and philosophy or study of leading historical personages with the exception of patches within phenomenological philosophy and feminism. The book delves into how the authors treated here deal with the flesh through their autobiographical writing and in what way they embody the essential relationship between flesh spirit and word. It analyses some seminal texts such as Ecce Homo The Story of My Experiments with Truth Waiting for a Visa I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings A Moveable Feast Night Baluta My Story Sun and Steel The Philosophy of Andy Warhol MAUS and Persepolis. Lucid bold and authoritative this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of philosophy literature gender studies political philosophy media and popular culture social exclusion and race and discrimination studies. | A Philosophy of Autobiography Body & Text

Sex Work in Nepal The Making and Unmaking of a Category

Sex Work in Nepal The Making and Unmaking of a Category

This book explores ‘sex work’ in Nepal as a social and analytical category. Narrating stories of those subsumed under such definition it examines changes as well as continuities characterising socio-cultural norms and perceptions through an analysis of sexual consumption. It also highlights the ways in which the development sector media and local community discourses frame ‘sex work’ as a distinct category. How does the work of development aid projects affect the understanding of the sex worker category? How are visual and media images employed to mark spaces of perdition in the Nepalese urban setting and what forms of imagination do they trigger? How are intimate practices and relations transformed by imported notions of love and how do standards of propriety related to such interactions shift? This book attempts to answer some of these questions. An in-depth and intimate ethnography the book deconstructs the sex worker category against the backdrop of global influences within local urban surroundings and points to the contradictions therein. Furthermore through thorough descriptions of the experiences agency decision-making processes and lives of those labelled as sex workers the book challenges concepts such as deviance and victimhood. It proposes a counternarrative by rethinking ideas of gender objectification marginality symbolic violence and discrimination. This book will greatly interest researchers and scholars in women and gender studies sociology and social anthropology South Asian studies and social sciences as well as NGOs and those involved in the development sector. | Sex Work in Nepal The Making and Unmaking of a Category

The Call for Recognition Naturalizing Political Norms

The Call for Recognition Naturalizing Political Norms

This book builds a case for how social norms are neither mere conventions nor are they merely anthropological phenomena which are relativistic. In other words it talks about how socio-political norms are built out of our natural social behaviour but at the same time also have objective normative validity. The volume puts forth an alternative model called the recognitional model which can help us address some of the socio-political concerns we face in today’s world. It addresses the problem with a purely legalistic framework of addressing social injustice in that law due its universalistic assumptions regarding human nature tends to glide over the particular differences that might exist between people. This book discusses how we know that in our daily lives we value people not only because that person is a legal human being but also because that person is our father mother our teacher etc. There is a whole network of acts of social respect that we engage in with the other in our social sphere which the legal framework can’t quite capture. This volume sheds light on the political consequence of legal reasoning in that it is formalistic in the sense that legal relations can’t successfully codify the immediate epistemic context from which social identities emerge. An introspective work this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of linguistics political philosophy law and human rights and social theory. | The Call for Recognition Naturalizing Political Norms
