Trans*(gressive) Failures
This study offers a critical textual analysis of trans* representation in two popular Hindi web series Sacred Games (Luegenbiehl & Motwane (Executive Producers), 2018–2019, Sacred Games [TV series]) and Paatal Lok (Sharma et al. (Executive Producers), 2020–Present, Paatal Lok [TV series]). We probe how trans* representations function to maintain normative agendas in a heteropatriarchal nation-state. Further, we examine their potential to reify do…
Seeking a break from home’
In 2018, Nuh, barely 75 km from India’s parliament, was ranked by the Government as the country’s most ‘backward’ district. It is a region fraught with many challenges including endemic poverty and simmering communal tensions, which among other factors have contributed to historically limiting women from pursuing higher education or building career aspirations. While the state has attempted to correct this by building new colleges, this paper exp…
Media Narratives and the Covid-19 Pandemic
Post-disaster communities on social media
This paper examines the online communities that emerged as a result of the 2015 Nepal earthquake. Most research around social media for emergency management focuses on its use in developed countries, overlooking underdeveloped countries with skewed Internet geographies.To address this gap, this study explores the communication dynamics of online communities formed in response to the Nepal disaster. Through a combination of virtual ethnography and…
Intersectional vulnerability in post-disaster contexts
Through a narrative-based ethnographic study of the Nepal earthquake of 2015, this study aims to comprehend Nepali women's experiences of relief and rehabilitation. It adopts an intersectional approach to vulnerability and privileges the voices of marginalised women in post-disaster contexts. The paper draws out some troubling experiences, including stories of rampant alcoholism, drug abuse, illegal trafficking, prostitution, self-harm, and suici…
Where is my home
With growing interest in the lives of individuals and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is consensus among scholars, academicians, and policy makers that the pandemic has had unequal impacts on different sections of the society. The dominant idea that "we are in this together" needs to be critically unpacked to understand the differential impact of the same pandemic on people with varied vulnerabilities. The concept of "intersection…
Post-disaster memoryscapes
Drastic life events like that of a disaster are not easily forgotten. Various narratives emerge to keep alive the memory of a disaster, its precursors and its consequences in the minds of those who experience it. Therefore, disaster memories become an important source of information and learning, not only for the community but also for policy makers who can work towards identifying the precursors and reducing the consequences of a disaster. Disco…
