Drawing on the ‘Continuum’ and the ‘Spectacular’
In this article, I use the concepts of ‘continuum’ and ‘spectacular’ to represent two distinct ways of understanding gender violence in Manipur. While ‘spectacular’ acts of violence are the subject of mainstream discourses, I propose a framework to understand conflict-induced sexual violence alongside persistent structures that make them possible. I ask: How is feminism ‘defined’/‘redefined’ in everyday and during spectacular violence? How do we …
Negotiating ‘Home’ and ‘Belongingness
This article studies the lived experiences of the forced migrants—of their fears, aspirations, challenges, expectations and reception by the host communities. I use the term ‘forced migrants’ to refer to the internally displaced persons (IDPs) of Manipur who were fleeing persecution, deserting their homes and belongings and seeking security on their own terms in a new setting. In the context studied, forced migration paradoxically incorporates co…
State Violence and Collective Victimhood in a Militarised State
The implementation of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in Manipur exemplifies how certain spaces and populations become margins through the administrative practices of the state. The state is endowed with the authority to categorise as legitimate or illegitimate the various forms of violence and practices toward its citizens. This action of the state has resulted in the formation of associations like the Manipur Women Gun Survivors Net…
The shifting ‘stages’ of performance
Chavang Kut, a post-harvesting festival in Manipur, represents an important cultural expression of the Chin-Kuki-Mizo group of people. The article looks at the participation of the Thadou community in the celebration by tracing their performative historiography. In the past, the celebration was primarily important in the religio-cultural sense. The rhythmic movements of the dances in the festival were inspired by animals, agricultural techniques …
Patriarchal Bargains and Paradoxical Emancipation
The article studies the interplay between gender, religion and politics by positing the case of Kuki women, and contributes towards an understanding of the mode in which patriarchy operates and is reinforced when it comes to women’s relationship to land. Ancestral land is tied to the sense of community and identity of the people. It is possible for daughters to inherit all movable and immovable property apart from ancestral land, upon which there…
