The politics of nakedness
Love and Revolution in the Twentieth-Century Colonial and Postcolonial World
Love and Revolution in the Twentieth-Century Colonial and Postcolonial World
Cameras, campuses and the future of politics in an era of imaging technologies
The recent explosion and changes in camera technologies has had a bearing on state surveillance, amateur photographic practices, and people's involvement with camera cultures. Much of urban life is now mediated by photography in different forms-from being caught, often unaware, on CCTVs, to a far more self-conscious engagement with some of the more readily available camera forms.

However, biographies place the subject in a curious relationship with the historical contextÛin that sense they are both similar to, yet different from, the novel. Both deal with interiorityÛyet their relationship to the ÎrealÌ is very differen…

By exploring the portrait genre as the modular form in Ravi Varma's artistic oeuvre, this article explores the question of modernity in Ravi Varma's art. It argues that unlike the work of others artistes of nineteenth century India, Ravi Varma was uniquely positioned in that his modernity is not a product of 'critique', but of a different negotiation with both tradition and the 'West
