The Concept of the Political in India
Efforts to trace the concept of the political in India and South Asia have looked for equivalent terms in the languages of the subcontinent and have traced textual influences of ideas both globally and within South Asian literary traditions. While not diminishing the importance of textual approaches, this article traces the historical emergence of associations between the concept of the political and the joint actions and collective practices of …
Hailing the State: Indian Democracy between Elections
In Hailing the State, Lisa Mitchell explores the methods of collective assembly that people in India use to hold elected officials and government administrators accountable, demand inclusion in decision making, and stage informal referendums. Mitchell traces the colonial and postcolonial lineages of collective forms of assembly, in which—rather than rejecting state authority—participants mobilize with expectations that officials will uphold the l…

A grassroots antiracist program: The motivation and perceived growth of participants in a community‐based, intergroup dialogue program
In the United States, racial segregation still organizes the social lives of most people. This segregation of social life continues reinforcing attitudes and behaviors that sustain racial injustice in the United States. Given the longstanding structural forces sustaining the segregated status quo, why do certain individuals seek out opportunities for ‘intentional integration’? And what happens when they do? This qualitative study interviewed raci…
Accidental Intimacies”: Reconsidering Bodily Encounters Between Police and Young People Who Use Drugs
Youth who use drugs (YWUD) are likely to encounter the police and experience victimization within those encounters. Negative experiences of police among youth can dramatically undermine youths’ trust in police, making them unlikely to ask for help when they need it. In this article, we use Rance and Fraser’s concept of “accidental intimacies” between staff and people who inject drugs arising in encounters within supervised consumption sites. Thei…
Language regimes and corporeal practices of 'making known: Speech action, collective assembly, and the politics of recognition in India
Creativity As Co-Therapist: The Practitioner's Guide to the Art of Psychotherapy
The Visual Turn in Political Anthropology and the Mediation of Political Practice in Contemporary India
Attention to the visual within the political anthropology of India has focused almost exclusively on spectacle and the excessively visible. This paper examines the question of visibility by interrogating the conditions that enable collective agendas to be seen as political, and advocates closer attention to the role of the state in these processes of recognition. In doing so, it emphasises shifts in the visual aspects of communicative networks an…
Environmental impact assessment process substitution: Experiences of public participants
This paper explores policy action taken by the federal government in Canada to test the potential for substitution of the federal process to regulatory bodies as a means of encouraging environmental impact assessment (EIA) efficiency. Our purpose is to present the experiences of people who participated in the EIA of the Emera Brunswick Pipeline in order to gauge the impact of such process substitutions on meaningful public participation. Our appr…
To stop train pull chain’: Writing histories of contemporary political practice
Many political practices in India are today regarded as disruptive, extralegal, violent or otherwise detrimental to India’s democratic record, yet at the same time they have functioned in the past and continue to function as widespread forms of political communication. This article argues that such practices—often associated with those in positions of structural marginalisation—are as deserving of analysis and understanding as forms and sites of …
Making the Local Foreign: Shared Language and History in Southern India
Parallel Languages, Parallel Cultures: Language as a New Foundation for the Reorganisation of Knowledge and Practice in Southern India
Linguistically bounded literatures, such as Telugu or Kannada literature, appear today as entities that have existed as meaningful categories nearly as long as the languages themselves. However, this imagination of literary worlds as coterminus with languages has not always made sense. Using debates over pedagogy and knowledge production sparked by the advent of printing in southern India, this article argues that languages emerged as discrete fo…
