  • The Sociological Consciousness, Democracy and Development: A Necessary Revisit in ‘Our Times

    Open AccessMohona Chaudhuri, Maitrayee ChaudhuriARTICLESociological Bulletin2026References: 10

    This article is a revised version of my presidential address delivered on 22 December 2024 at the Forty-Ninth All India Sociological Conference held at BML Munjal University, Gurugram. In this article, I explore the historical and conceptual interconnections between democracy, development and the making of sociological consciousness. In the contemporary context marked by demands for instant deliverables and managerialism, we must resist the easy …

  • Culture and Cultural Policy in Radhakamal Mukerjee and Indian Sociology: Text in Context

    Open AccessMohona Chaudhuri, Maitrayee ChaudhuriARTICLESociological Bulletin2024References: 12

    This article focuses on culture and cultural policy for it is a theme present in Radhakamal Mukerjee’s (RKM) writings and is a persistent presence in Indian sociology. Perhaps no other time is more appropriate than now to revisit the debates on cultural policy than in a context defined by cultural majoritarianism. One attempts here a synoptic account of RKM’s approach to culture and also suggests pointers as to how we ought to read the contradict…

  • Entre invisibilité et hypervisibilité: La mondialisation dans la sociologie indienne

    Mohona Chaudhuri, Maitrayee Chaudhuri et al.ARTICLEDiogène2021

    Cet article tente à la fois de parler des nouvelles réalités empiriques en Inde que la mondialisation a introduites et d’explorer les raisons de l’hypervisibilité de certaines de ces réalités empiriques et de la négligence d’autres. Les deux questions liées que cet article pose à la sociologie indienne sont les suivantes : Pourquoi la montée en puissance de nouveaux espaces urbains, d’une classe moyenne en expansion et d’une culture de la consomm…

  • Self, society, and social science knowledge

    Mohona Chaudhuri, Maitrayee ChaudhuriCHAPTERSocial Scientist in South Asia2020

    In this chapter, I draw from C. Wright Mill’s understanding of the public and personal, history and biography, to reflect the changing times within which my generation grew up and entered the world of social sciences in the tail end of the 1970s. Times have changed, just as the rapidity of change has changed. Usage of the first person was unheard of in social science writing then. Distant, neutral, and objective was the purported goal of social s…

  • Feminisms and sociologies: Locations and intersections in a global context

    Open AccessMohona Chaudhuri, Maitrayee ChaudhuriARTICLEContributions to Indian Sociology2016Cited by: 2References: 27

    This article explores the many ways that sociologies and feminisms have intersected with an equal emphasis on the actual content of these intersections as well as on the context. First, the article shows how disciplinary histories and feminist rethinking across 'nations' and 'regions' do bear similarities, but also differ in many significant ways. Second, linked to the matter of contexts and travels is the matter of hierarchies within internation…

  • Feminism in India: The Tale and its Telling

    Mohona Chaudhuri, Maitrayee ChaudhuriARTICLETiers-Monde2012Cited by: 1References: 2

    Cet article donne un aperçu du féminisme en Inde qui soulève en même temps des questions d’ordre théorique. La théorie postcoloniale ne tient pas compte du fait que ce qui est considéré comme « marginal » pour l’occident a souvent joué un rôle central dans le reste du monde. Privilégiant l’analyse des textes, les études postcoloniales négligent l’analyse historique des contraintes liées aux institutions sociales et des possibilités d’action des i…

  • Indian media and its transformed public

    Open AccessMohona Chaudhuri, Maitrayee ChaudhuriARTICLEContributions to Indian Sociology2010Cited by: 6References: 4

    Indian media has witnessed an unprecedented growth over the last two decades. This expansion does not necessarily lead to greater democratic participation for the very idea of the 'public' has undergone a transformation, evident in: the ideological content of the media, the extra-national membership of the public sphere and the interactive form of publicness. The article argues that the media plays a crucial ideological role in recasting public d…
