Beyond myths of wickedness
Politics of Joint Forest Management
Community forest management is a phase of transition between absolute state control and a renewal of community control over the forestland that has become possible with the enactment of the Forest Rights Act (FRA), 2006. Joint Forest Management (JFM), which used to have a robust presence in West Bengal, has been facing increasing challenges from the forest-dwellers who wish to implement the FRA (2006) in the state, despite the multiple hurdles pl…
Hyper(in)visibility and the Crisis of Missing Black Girls in Monday's Not Coming and When You Look Like Us
Missing Black girls in contemporary America-owing to intersectional marginalization and racial stereotyping-are often ironically rendered both invisible and hypervisible. By underscoring how missing Black girls not only face police apathy but also endure mediatized misnomers of delinquency, this essay outlines Black girls experiences of hyper(in)visibility within hegemonic white patriarchal settings. African American young adult novels by Black w…
The Female Prophet and Religious Re-visioning in Marilynne Robinson’s Lila
A devout Calvinist, Marilynne Robinson often quotes her theological and spiritual mentor to advocate that “[w]e ought to embrace the whole human race without exception in a single feeling of love”

Television culture and the beauty bias problem
This study aims to critically analyze the problem of the beauty bias prevalent in contemporary India with the help of popular postmillennial Hindi television serials. It begins with a review of literature on television’s social impact and then demonstrates how representations of women on Indian television have historically been deeply interwoven with hegemonic perceptions of appearance. It then examines as case studies five popular tele serials w…
The Trouble Goes Back to Your Grandfather’s Time”
This essay reads evolving cultures of white American middle-class masculinity in tandem with ekphrastic symbolisms of domestic architecture in Anne Tyler’s A Spool of Blue Thread. It interprets the text as a subversive narrative where if hegemonic gender norms oppress women and children, they also often confine men primarily to the role of a provider and alienate them from their own shelters. Accordingly, by focusing on the profound connection be…

The changing politics of beauty labour in Indian cinema
This essay analyses the changing politics of beauty labour and female body image in Indian cinema. It begins by discussing how beauty, a social capital for women, is a measuring rod with which their bodies are both assessed and objectified. It claims that cinema being a visual medium demands some aesthetic capital from actors, and the beauty of leading ladies portrayed on screen often adds to the spectacle. Focusing on mainstream Bollywood films …
Heterotopic Homes
This paper offers a spatial reading of Joyce Carol Oates’s We Were the Mulvaneys (1996). It argues that restructured domestic spaces depicted in the novel underscore the possibility of alternate homesteads that celebrate female choice and autonomy. Since We Were the Mulvaneys presents various models of domesticity coupled with a variety of domestic spaces that range from stifling to empowering, this paper engages specifically with architectural a…
