  • Um museu de grandes novidades

    Open AccessJonah Blank, Javier BlankARTICLERevista Maracanan2018Citada por: 1

    This article affirms the urgency of overcoming the common sense that interprets new phenomena from anachronistic analyzes. Marx's notion of fictitious capital is recovered and its predominant role in the current dynamics of capital accumulation is affirmed. Through the fictionalization of wealth, potential future wealth is anticipated as current wealth. This produces a new relationship of the present with the future. The catastrophic effects that…

  • Power, Ideology and Authority

    Jonah BlankARTICLEAfrican and Asian Studies2017

    In many religious (and other) communities, a dispute about ideology is often more accurately understood as a dispute about authority and power. Such a conflict may progress through three stages, each one more deeply challenging to the legitimacy of traditional authority structures. Whether the challenge ultimately succeeds or fails, its impact may reach far beyond the immediate issue ostensibly in contention: What might start as a narrowly-define…

  • Drivers of Long-Term Insecurity and Instability in Pakistan

    Jonah Blank, Christopher Clary et al.BOOKDrivers of Long-Term Insecurity…2014

    Pakistan is already one of the most urbanized nations in South Asia, and a majority of its population is projected to be living in cities within three decades. This demographic shift is likely to have a significant impact on Pakistan's politics and stability. This report briefly examines urbanization as a potential driver of long-term insecurity and instability, with particular attention to the cities of Karachi, Lahore, and Quetta

  • Crítica das forças produtivas

    Open AccessAndré Villar Gomez, Jonah BlankARTICLERevista Em Pauta2012

    As forças produtivas são uma categoria capitalista e materializam a abstração social baseada no valor. Tal como o processo de valorização, as forças produtivas se desenvolvem sem levar em consideração a satisfação das necessidades humanas e as consequências ecológicas. A produção destrutiva por meio da redução da taxa de utilização dos produtos e os gastos militares crescentes demonstram que o capitalismo passou a destruir riqueza material em lar…

  • Testimonial to Sumit Ganguly

    Jonah BlankARTICLEIndia Review2008

    When Sumit asked me to be Managing Editor of India Review I was horrified. Honored, of course. Gratified, flattered, and also intrigued. But above all horrified: I knew that however hard I might la

  • Ethnic conflict & civic life

    Jonah BlankARTICLEIndia Review2003

    Academic discourse on ethnic conflict in India has, all too often, amounted to little more than platitudes, hand-wringing, and blame-casting. Far too seldom do we see an investigation of the topic that is firmly grounded in both theory and on-the-ground data collection: a soberly argued, articulately presented work examining the local circumstances that make Hindu–Muslim conflict more or less likely to flare into bloodshed. Even apart from the ad…

  • Kashmir

    Jonah BlankARTICLEIndia Review2003

    Despite a recent deescalation of military tensions and the fairest election in more than two decades, Kashmiris do not express much optimism about their future. If this skepticism is justified, perhaps it is due to a near-universal emphasis on short-term tactics at the expense of long-term strategy. Virtually all parties to the conflict in Kashmir – whether based in New Delhi, Islamabad, Srinagar or Muzaffarabad, seem to be thinking tactically ra…

  • Mullahs on the Mainframe

    Samer Traboulsi, Jonah BlankARTICLEJournal of the American Oriental…2003

    The values of traditionalist Islam are often portrayed as inherently hostile to those of a modern, pluralistic society. This book shatters many of these stereotypes. Jonah Blank provides a first-hand account of the Daudi Bohra community, a Shi'a denomination numbering 1 million, concentrated in South Asia but spread worldwide. This society has no contradiction between Islamic traditions and full-fledged modernity. The Bohras uphold orthodox Musli…

  • Kashmir

    Jonah BlankARTICLEForeign Affairs1999Citada por: 7

    In Srinagar's Lai Chowk, the most volatile bazaar in the most volatile city in Indias most volatile state, life is as normal as life here ever gets. Merchants and marketers haggle over the price of bruised apples, auto-rickshaws jockey with oxcarts for passage through the bustling alleyways, and soldiers gaze lazily through the gun-slits of their sandbagged bunker. There's a rumor that the separatist leader Shabbir Shah will hold a rally at noon,…
