Varavara Rao
Varavara Rao: A Life in Poetry is the first-ever collection in English of poems by the Telugu poet selected and translated from sixteen books that he has published. Having begun to write poetry in his early teens Varavara Rao now in his early eighties continues to be a doyen of Telugu modern poets. He was a consistent comrade-in-letters to all the social movements from the 1960s to the 2010s and this volume is a capsule of momentous social history captured in his poetic imagination. The poems in the collection offer an artistic blend of tender response and thoughtful reaction to social realities as well as an explosion of powerful emotions from a voice sought to be subdued. Varavara Rao's poetry more than anything else is an offering of solidarity to the voiceless the underdog and the oppressed.

The Positive Sciences of the Ancient Hindus
The author's direct aim in the present work is to furnish the historians of the special sciences with new material which will serve to widen the scope of their survey. The Hindus no less than the Greeks have shared in the work of constructing scientific concepts and methods in the investigation of physical phenomena, as well as of building up a body of positive knowledge which has been applied to industrial technique; and Hindu scientific ideas and methodology (e.g. the inductive method or method of algebraic analysis) have deeply influenced the course of natural philosophy in Asia-in the East as well as the West-in China and Japan, as well as in the Saracen Empire. The author has undertaken a comparative estimate of Greek and Hindu science. Hindu Philosophy om its empirical side was dominated by geometrical concepts and methods. The author has cared to see that the Sanskrit philosophic-scientific terminology, however difficult from its technical character, is rendered exceedingly precise, consistent, and expressive.

The Visual Turn
The Visual Turn: South Asia Across the Disciplines explores new perspectives made possible by the evidence drawn from visual culture. This evidence is utilized by historians, literary analysts, anthropologists and, in a new way, art historians. Focusing on built environments within their urban contexts; the interactions of buildings, roads, and bodies; the meaning-making achieved through consumption of images (on their own or in concert with literary texts) all contribute to a much broader and deeper understanding of change in South Asia. Juxtaposed, these case studies not only approach their topics in a multi-disciplinary manner, but also make clear just what scholars from various disciplin...

Les reliques royales à Madagascar
Dans les sociétés sakalava de l'Ouest malgache, le culte des reliques est un système ancien, pratiqué dans un cadre familial, avant la formation des monarchies. Il évolue en culte dynastique au fur et à mesure de la constitution des dynasties. Dès lors, des reliques sont confectionnées à partir d'éléments prélevés sur le corps du roi défunt. Par leur médiation, l'ancêtre royal tient la même place protectrice que le saint médiéval pour les descendants royaux, mais aussi pour l'ensemble des sujets. La protection reconnue aux reliques se transforme, au XVIIIe siècle, en légitimation politique du rôle de la dynastie. Désormais, les restes du corps du roi sont conservés da...
