Memory, Identity and Deindustrialization
This study takes a closer look at the deindustrialization of the South Indian city of Bangalore with respect to its former cotton mill sector, nearly two decades after the closure of the first three composite cotton mills in the city. The study views deindustrialization from sectoral, city- and community-centric perspectives. As well as identifying Bangalore as a significant site within the 'bygone mills' discourse in India, the article contribut…
Disappearing spaces and betraying allies
Neoliberal urban transition in Bangalore city over the last two decades has unleashed forces of gentrification and revanchism. Consequently, street-based sex workers, as an informal workforce, have been systematically losing their tracts of life and livelihood and being denied their narrative of urban transition experience. An entire ecology around street-based sex work has disintegrated, pushing many workers into further invisibility, gradually …
Body politics and the politics of technology
This paper illustrates how body politics and the politics of technology compound one another for female street-based sex workers (FSSWs) in Bangalore city, India, in their experiences of three technologies – mobile phones, CCTV surveillance, and television media. Mobile phones have emerged as an integral part of street-based sex work in Bangalore as a result of FSSWs abstaining from public spaces that have been overwhelmingly eroded due to urban …
New revanchism and the urban undesirables
This paper addresses the experience of revanchist urban transition among street-based sex workers—male, female and transgender individuals—in Bangalore city in India, over the last two decades. While analysing this, this study lays out the everyday struggles of this section of informal workers, against revanchist forces that further perpetuate their marginalised status. To capture these experiences, oral narratives from nearly five dozen sex work…
Everyday Place Making Through Social Capital Among Street Vendors at Manek Chowk, Gujarat, India
This is a novel interpretation of the dynamics of the historic market of Manek Chowk in Ahmedabad in Gujarat, India. Applying elements of spatial ethnographic methodology, we capture the processes, routines, and unique features of operation among the myriad actors operating here, and the frictionless multiple transformation of this traditional market within the course of a full day. These findings are viewed through the critical geography concept…
Globalization Lived Locally
This book concerns the broad theme of globalization and labour, particularly female labour, and applies the 'labour geography' approach to examine contemporary forms of labour control, conflict, and response under a globalization regime in Kerala state in India, through four diverse in-depth empirical case studies set in this state. This book concentrates on the transforming nature of work under capitalism, and has three interrelated aims: (a) to…
Globalization Lived Locally
This article uses the case study of a prominent electronics manufacturer in Kerala, southern India, to illuminate an approach to labour studies which focuses on local labour control regimes. Kerala was chosen for this study because of certain unusual characteristics of its labour market. Building on the theoretical base of local labour control regimes, empirical evidence from the case study reveals that local labour markets develop their own form…
