Beyond the technology-centric and citizen-centric binary
Smart city (SC) experts in India often center-stage citizens as an alternative to a technology-led transformation. A substantial body of literature on smart cities sustains this resultant binary between techno-centrism and citizen-centrism. Mobilizing ANT sensibilities, we generate an ethnographic narrative on how the smart city discourse has translated into everyday processes of city administration and urban governance in India. Our account unmu…
Gendering Place and Affect
Postfeminist individuating of a women collective and the strugglesome emergence of a relational collective feminist solidarity
In a patriarchal caste‐ and class‐inflicted gendered work setting in an Indian state, Kerala, we explore the process of mobilizing neoliberal postfeminization and subsequent collectivization and collective acting of women from lower socioeconomic classes. We identify neoliberal postfeminism's structural contradictions and lingering individuating forces within a state‐instituted yet bottom‐up women empowerment collectivization program, enriching t…
(Dis)empowering the feminine? Spatializing the interlace of gender‐class‐neoliberal managerialism in a women‐only café in India

Our critical‐interpretive ethnography analyses the process of installing a neoliberal‐managerial path along which foodwork and working bodies are hierarchized and disciplined, creating spatialized hegemonic gend…
Actions in phygital space
This study delineates the microprocesses of solidarity development and the subsequent collective actions of gig workers in India amidst multiple structural constraints. Using netnography, semi‐structured interviews and direct observation, we show how digitally naive app‐based cab drivers amalgamate physical and digital spaces, construct a phygital space free of managerial gaze and leverage it to bond and bridge, create webs of care and share and …
Autonomy
This article attempts to clarify the connection between transactional analysis and spirituality. The content and meaning of autonomy are explored from different perspectives, and the Bernian understanding of autonomy and its components—awareness, spontaneity, and intimacy—are examined. The relationship between autonomy and intimacy is explained. From this relationship evolves a new dimension that goes beyond psychology—namely, spirituality. The a…
