Cross-border mobility and epistemic embodiments of blue humanities in Vanni: A Family’s Struggle through the Sri Lankan Conflict
This article, at the intersection of postcolonial ocean studies and comics studies, examines the politics of cross-border mobility and the poetics of blue aesthetics in author Benjamin Dix and illustrator Lindsay Pollock’s ethnographic graphic novel, Vanni: A Family’s Struggle through the Sri Lankan Conflict. The novel interweaves narratives of violence, displacement, and coastal ecology within the fractured lives of Tamil families during the Sri…
Against the Grid: Urbanity and Infrastructure in Indian Sequential Narratives
The present article, situated at the intersection of comics studies and urban studies, aims to critically explore how urbanity as a condition is represented and transgressed in select Indian sequential narratives. Urbanisation in India has often been described as messy and a perpetual disaster, as cities often extend their peripheries to form slums and other informal settlements using innovative infrastructural developments. Highlighting the rele…

Drawing the Invisible: A Study of Urban Space, Informal Migration of Construction Workers, and Precarity in Simon Lamouret’s The Alcazar
This article, situated at the intersection of urban studies and comics studies, seeks to interrogate the nature of urban migration and the lives of construction workers in Simon Lamouret’s The Alcazar (2022), a comic based on and in the city of Bangalore. The article begins with a paratextual analysis of the comic, followed by a Lefebvrian analysis of the construction site, to argue that cities like Bangalore are evolving fast “beyond the plan” (…

Urbanity, precarity, and infrastructural violence in Mumbai: Exploring the politics of repair and urban regeneration in Grafity’s wall
The present paper seeks to address precarious lives and the politics of urban repair in the city of Mumbai, in Ram V and Anand Radhakrishnan's graphic novel Grafity's Wall (2020), a coming-of-age story about four youths in the city. Through waves of urban restructuring, this paper argues, precarity has emerged as a typical mode of Mumbai's urban life and living. The work investigates the urban underworld of crime, violence, and movements of urban…
Urban comics and social justice: Restructuring neoliberal spaces of Delhi in Sarnath Banerjee’s all quiet in Vikaspuri
The present paper seeks to focus on one of the prominent aspects of South Asian comics; the nature of urbanity, through a study of Sarnath Banerjee’s All Quiet in Vikaspuri, a narrative primarily set in Delhi. Banerjee’s Delhi is the space of the capitalists, urban planners, and corrupt policies; in short a ‘social product’, as Henri Lefebvre had formulated. The paper will examine how Delhi, in Banerjee’s comics, is symptomatic of various states …
Overlapping Community Detection Using Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm
Community detection or identification problem has emerged as an important task in the field of network analysis. The problem becomes more challenging when the communities overlap each other. Since the community detection problem can be modeled as an optimization problem, the genetic algorithm (GA) can be used to develop a solution. Typically, overlapping community detection problem is a multiobjective optimization problem and there may exist some…
