Disruptions in Economic and Social Polity
Capitalism is in crisis today, while the neoliberal economic model that has been pursued in order to move out of the crisis has also not succeeded. There are also major disruptions in both economic and social polity, and uncertainties due to change and conflict within social relations. This book analyses these issues from a global perspective, with particular reference to India, in order to determine what can be done to provide this transitory situation with a direction of change. The essays gathered here counter the neo-liberal myth built on the premise that this is an era “free of ideology”, and reconstruct the concept of ideology and its various ramifications. The book also delves into how the dynamics of the overall economic situation today give rise to various possibilities for change, and details holistic plans of possible future actions.

The Abolition of the Ottoman Caliphate, 1924
This book explores the decision by the Grand National Assembly of Turkey in 1924 to abolish the caliphate. The Ottoman sultans had long borne the title of caliphs of Islam, with all the prestigious authority throughout the Muslim world that went with it, and in the aftermath of the First World War the caliphate still retained great symbolic relevance.The book considers the questions that arose with its abolition, including whether or not the caliphate should be revived, reformed or replaced by other forms of political affiliation and organization. It also assesses more general issues concerning identity and legitimate authority, and how to reconcile time-honoured religious institutions and concepts with modernity, the nation-state and affiliations of an ethnic and religious nature. The book additionally addresses the debates within the pan-Islamic congresses concerning the fate of the caliphate, and the implications of its abolition for Kurdish–Turkish relations and for the British and French Empires with their large Muslim populations.
The aesthetic exception
The aesthetic exception theorises anew the relation between art and politics. It challenges critical trends that discount the role of aesthetic autonomy, to impulsively reassert art as an effective form of social engagement. But it equally challenges those on the flipside of the efficacy debate, who insist that art’s politics is limited to a recondite space of ‘autonomous resistance’. The book shows how each side of the efficacy debate overlooks art’s exceptional status and its social mediations. Mobilising philosophy and cultural theory, and employing examples from visual art, performance, and theatre, it proposes four alternative tests to ‘effect’ to offer a nuanced account of art’s political character. Those tests examine how art relates to politics as a practice that articulates its historical conjuncture, and how it prefigures the ‘new’ through simulations capable of activating the political life of the spectator.

The Postcolonial Age of Migration
This book critically examines the question of migration that appears at the intersection of global neo-liberal transformation, postcolonial politics, and economy. It analyses the specific ways in which colonial relations are produced and reproduced in global migratory flows and their consequences for labour, human rights, and social justice. The postcolonial age of migration not only indicates a geopolitical and geo-economic division of the globe between countries of the North and those of the South marked by massive and mixed population flows from the latter to the former, but also the production of these relations within and among the countries of the North. The book discusses issues such ...
Makers of Jadavpur: A Technological Perspective
This volume is authored by Rajat K. Baisya, alumnus of the department of Food Technology and Biochemical Engineering and a distinguished scholar, author and management consultant. The foundations of Jadavpur university and its origins as a technological institution imagined in a nationalist mould, established as a counter to the colonial British education and as a part of the movement for independence, are relatively well-known. What is less explored is the journey that the National Council of Education underwent to transform itself into the Jadavpur University. As a premier institution of higher learning in India at the present time, Jadavpur University has a number of stalwart professors to thank for its worldwide reputation. This book covers the biographies of twenty-two such professors of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology. Written from the ‘technological perspective’, the book attempts to trace a form of history of Jadavpur University through the microhistories of the individuals responsible for its beginnings and subsequent growth.
