Beyond mixed methods: A pluralist approach to objects in interdisciplinary teaching and learning
The study of objects holds a central place in research on interdisciplinary research practices, yet we know little about the role of objects in facilitating or hindering interdisciplinary learning in higher education. This article develops a pluralist, relational, and dynamic approach to studying the role of objects in interdisciplinary teaching and learning. We document the potential for objects to perform different functions depending on how th…
Frontier tourism development and inequality in the Nepal Himalaya
This article proposes ‘frontier tourism development’ as an apt analytical lens through which to understand contemporary tourism development in rural peripheries. Based on a rich case study of more than 90% of households across seven villages in the Manaslu Conservation Area, the article analyses local-level inequalities in participation and benefits from tourism development in one of the world’s most remote peripheries—the high Himalayas of Nepal…
From a Trickle to a Torrent: Education, Migration, and Social Change in a Himalayan Valley of Nepal
Agrarian crossroads: Rural aspirations and capitalist transformation
Aspirations bring different versions of the future into the present. This introductory essay asks what we can learn by attending to the myriad ways in which rural subjects and collectivities articulate and institutionalise aspirations. We argue that aspirations are conditioned by constellations of power, which shape what can be done and what can be imagined. These visions of alternative futures can be either affirmative or transformative, but wil…
Himalayan futures: Tourism and the anticipation of development
In a Himalayan valley marked by the looming prospect of future tourism, the anticipation of development has significant socioeconomic effects. In contrast to the reactive and systemic notion of adaptation often highlighted in the literature on Himalayan locations, this article argues that the active, social practice of anticipation fundamentally shapes local experience and socioeconomic navigation within a highly uncertain process of rural transf…
Frontier Commodification: Governing Land, Labour and Leisure in Darjeeling, India
In the contemporary global imagination, Darjeeling typically figures on two accounts: as a unique tourism site replete with colonial heritage and picturesque nature, and as the productive origin for some of the world's most exclusive teas. In this commodified and consumable form, Darjeeling is part of a wide array of frontier places that are increasingly incorporated into the circuits of global capitalism. In the present article, I argue that Dar…
Governing Landscapes: Territorialisation and Exchange at South Asia's Himalayan Frontier
Throughout most of human history, the topological features of landscapes have played a crucial role in the government of people and places. The hostile geographies of mountains and forests have pro
Textbook difference: Spatial history and national education in Panchayat and present-day Nepal
This article examines the transformation of the diverse imperial landscape of the Gorkha Kingdom into the more uniform and integrated space of the Nepali nation. It argues that nationalised schooling, as it was introduced under Panchayat rule (1960–90), was central to the production of national space. However, it also highlights how this schooling concomitantly extended a language of ‘anthropological’ and ‘ecological’ difference with which to org…
