The present state of research in precarity demands meta-questions and hence we need to probe both philosophy and practice in light of precarity’s different manifestations. The plural perspectives by which this phenomenon can be addressed also suggest potential for further theorization alongside that of Butler and her critics. By inviting scholars and experts from different fields and disciplines, and by applying multiple frameworks, methodological approaches, and critical lenses, this volume seeks to explore the different facets of our precarious world, while providing insights into the challenges of our possible futures.
This book is a detailed study of the Indian graphic novel as a significant category of South Asian literature. It focuses on the genre’s engagement with history, memory and cultural identity and its critique of the nation in the form of dissident histories and satire. Deploying a nuanced theoretical framework, the volume closely examines major texts such as The Harappa Files, Delhi Calm, Kari, Bhimayana, Gardener in the Wasteland, Pao Anthology, and authors and illustrators including Sarnath Banerjee, Vishwajyoti Ghosh, Durgabai Vyam, Amrutha Patil, Srividya Natarajan and others. It also explores — using key illustrations from the texts — critical themes like contested and alternate histories, urban realities, social exclusion, contemporary politics, and identity politics. A major intervention in Indian writing in English, this volume will be of great importance to scholars and researchers of South Asian literature, cultural studies, art and visual culture, and sociology.
The book attempts to establish dialogue and build bridges in these polarizing times when politics divide us more than at any time. By focusing on significant nation-builders, from Mahatma Gandhi to Narendra Modi, the book makes a compelling case for going beyond the narrow ideological divide and welcomes the readers to engage with the unison and integration of political thoughts and actions. The book argues that starting from Gandhi, Nehru, Bose, Savarkar, Ambedkar, Patel, Shastri, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, VP Singh Chandrasekhar, Narasimha Rao, and Atal B. Vajpayee, Modi is only taking forward the nation in Amrit Kaal on the lines which his predecessors drew. The book shows the amalgamation of ideological diversities in national unity!
