Domestic Violence against Women in India: Does Empowerment Matter

Leisure
Leisure is defined as the time over which an individual exercises choice and in which she or he undertakes activities that she or he values. Leisure is objectively construed as the opposite of work while subjectively it is viewed in terms of activities that assume meaning only in the context of the individual's perception. Social identity is one of the central factors influencing the experience of leisure. It affects personal agency, access to re…
Public Spaces and Places
The blurring of public and private spaces in Indian cities is in the enactment of everyday lives as there exists considerable ambiguity as to what comes under the purview of the ‘public’ and the ‘private’. Women can access public spaces ‘legitimately’ only when they can manufacture a sense of purpose for being there and adhere to ‘appropriate’ behaviour. Gendered spaces emerge as settings that are used strategically to inform identity, and produc…
Mapping gendered spatialities in leisure: The case of new consumption spaces in the city of Kolkata
The subject of ‘leisure’, although extensively studied by scholars of multiple disciplines, has often lacked systematic theorization, so far as gendered spatialities are concerned. This paper attempts to address this gap by exploring how space and place relate to gendered leisure practices. Based on a primary survey in the city of Kolkata, India, this paper explores both the place-specific conditions and the person-specific experiences of leisure…
Interrogating the Global/Local Interface: Workplace Interactions in the New Economic Spaces of Kolkata
Indian mega-cities have been undergoing remarkable socio-cultural transformations alongside major economic shifts driven by information and communication technologies. The newly emerging economic spaces are characterized by numerous complex home–workplace links, speeding up of information and communication flows; time–space compression; and increased individualism (Cresswell, 2009). These have juxtaposed different spatial and temporal domains in …
Space, Gender, and Fear of Crime: Some Explorations from Kolkata
Disparate power equations are embedded in the various ways daily life is organized within social and geographical spaces and tacitly influences individuals’ use of space. This is particularly true for cities, where space is unequivocally premised through a male-centric approach, whereby the public spaces which harbor the legitimate basis of social power are kept out of bounds for women. City spaces are being increasingly masculinized and seem to …
