Is Archaeological Data Labor Sustainable? Only through Ethical and Policy Reforms, Open Data Emphases on Public Engagement, and Indigenous Data Sovereignty
The proliferation of information and communication technologies in US archaeology has created myriad expectations for professional labor throughout the life cycle of data. Technological adoption has outpaced the development of professional and ethical frameworks, leaving archaeological data labor unsustainable in our under-resourced discipline. This article reviews traditional Western paradigms underpinning legal and intellectual property models …
Si(gh)ting the City: An Uber View of Calcutta
In this article, I take a socio-material approach to highlight the changes in the legibility of the built environment due to digital interfacing and the subsequent fragmentation of urban space. Using Uber as an example, I demonstrate how app-reliant mobility practices, reflexive of the changing mobility values in the city of Calcutta, manifest certain “temporal spaces”—quasi-virtual spaces of the online/digital-offline/material continuum—that imb…

Updated Revision on 17 October 2024-wl-7105-Dynamic Interplay Between Rural Demand and Rural Inflation in India
Core inflation is often viewed as demand-induced, even though both cyclical and acyclical factors tend to determine its trajectory. The average rural core (non-food non-fuel) inflation in India has exceeded average urban core inflation in the post-COVID period, at a time when rural demand has been viewed as sluggish relative to urban demand, posing the question as to whether core inflation conveys any more useful insights on the state of demand c…

Reconceptualizing Repatriation as the Power to Decide
Repatriation in Canada is highly situational, with relatively few regulations in place to assist Indigenous communities in returning their cultural belongings home, let alone to protect their rights as stewards. This paper provides a public policy analysis of repatriation regulations in Canada, with special attention paid to the situation they present to the public, to recommend areas for change. We juxtapose these findings with Indigenous repatr…
Role of Social Support Group in Promoting or Preventing Depression and Remedies to Minimization of the Depression Problem for Students and Parents
Social support has been demonstrated to be useful in enhancing mental health by acting as a cushion against stressful life conditions. Social support originates from a network of individuals comprising friends, family, and the community. Lack of social support worsens students' mental health issues, particularly signs of depression, and affects their quality of life. A multifaceted strategy is essential to mitigate depression among students and p…

Will It Ever Be Fair: Making Archaeological Data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable
A fundamental task of archaeology is to address challenging scientific questions related to the complexity of human societies. If we are to systematically understand the processes that affect human societies on multiple spatial and temporal scales, research leveraging existing archaeological data is essential. However, only a fraction of the data from archaeological projects are publicly findable or accessible, let alone interoperable or reusable…
The Care Principles and the Reuse, Sharing, and Curation of Indigenous Data in Canadian Archaeology
Reuse and sharing of archaeological data are tied to ethics in data practice, research design, and the rights of Indigenous peoples in decision-making about their heritage. In this article, the authors discuss how the CARE (Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, and Ethics) principles and Indigenous data governance create intellectual space for archaeological research. We show how archaeologists can use this framework to highli…
Probing ‘instaworthiness’: Siting the selfie
This article examines ‘instaworthiness’ as a classificatory category in discourses of place-making. It engages in social-semiotic analyses of the selfies clicked at instaworthy cafes and pubs in Kolkata to highlight how the photographic performativity of selfie-taking reconfigures the notions of placemaking. It accounts for: how is an ‘instaworthy’ spot made and consumed? What ramifications does showcasing the self within these specific sites hav…
The Afterlife of Breast Cancer: Exploring the Digital Performativity of Post-Treatment Patienthood
This article looks at the practices of digital performativity of bodies-in-remission on Instagram to detail the affective and temporal experience of post-treatment patienthood. To explore these performativities, I use the images and narratives of the post-treatment breast-cancer body to have a conversation about the vicarious ‘re-experience’ of the malady—now in abeyance—through the discursive register of fear and the clinical haunting of the eve…

Of the (im)mobility regime in India: The post-Covid medicalisation of mobilities
In this paper, we examine how the Indian welfare-capitalist state, in responding to the pandemic in diverse ways, has appealed to the ‘guilt conscience’ and played on the vexed positionality of the mobile elite, who following the pandemic, have to give up their freedom of mobility. We argue that the very condition of political legibility of the mobile subject is predicated upon the ethico-moral ideal of the ‘good citizen’, who, in the statist ima…
Domestic Versus Imported Contents in Exports: The Case of India’s Merchandise Trade
This article combines national input–output tables (1998–1999 to 2007–2008) with World Input–Output Database (1995–2011) to evaluate foreign value-added (FVA) content in India’s exports at aggregate and disaggregate levels. The results confirm rising FVA and declining domestic value added (DVA) in India’s total and merchandise exports across a majority of the commodities. India’s international fragmentation has risen but continues to be lower tha…

Qué nos dicen los métodos espaciales sobre la historia de la arqueologia? Apuntes desde la India post-colonial
Archaeologists increasingly find themselves confronting members of local communities, raising the question: who owns cultural heritage and the interpretation of archaeological data? In this paper I introduce geographic information systems as a method to gain insight on archaeology. I argue that visualizing where and when archaeologists carried out fieldwork is a first step to understand how and why social tensions emerge and to address what we ha…
Social and Political Factors in Post-Colonial Indian Archaeology: The Case of Sanghol, Punjab
In this paper, I present the case of Sanghol, Punjab, in Indian archaeology to highlight the influence of social and political factors on the interpretation of archaeological data and the preservation of cultural heritage. Using a geographic approach, I show how geopolitical tensions and the desire for internal political stability influenced archaeological practices in post-colonial India. In the aftermath of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s assass…
