Psychological drivers of customer citizenship buying behaviour in green cosmetics
Over the past decade, the cosmetic industry has increasingly adopted green practices in response to customers' growing environmental concerns and the need to support environmental sustainability. Although there is extensive literature on green cosmetics buying behaviour, understanding how customers' extra-role behaviours respond to these green practices is still a challenging and understudied topic. This study, based on social exchange theory, in…
Beyond attention spans
Short videos are reshaping the digital landscape and opening a new frontier in digital marketing. By fostering binge-watching tendencies, cognitive lock-in, and stronger influence over consumer attention and choice, short videos create conditions for sustained engagement. Drawing on Media Systems Dependency Theory (MSDT), this study introduces a new zone phase construct and advances an integrative conceptual model that explains how the psychologi…

Metaverse a commercial bliss for recreational tourism? A multistage mixed-method investigation
With the rapidly evolving digital landscape, the metaverse presents itself as a promising tool for achieving commercial pursuits in the tourism industry. We apply the presence theory to examine how the industry can leverage the remarkable features of the metaverse to create memorable experiences for tourists at brand destinations – a unique identification or memorable experience associated with a destination, preferably induced by highly immersiv…

Srirupa Roy. The Political Outsider
The Obligation to Worship God and Theistic Vedānta Philosophy
Worship is one of the paths used to accomplish the highest levels of knowledge in Vedānta theism. These levels refer to knowledge of ultimate reality, where the worshipper realises oneness with God. In worship, we regard Him with admiration and as a maximally excellent being. However, in contemporary debate many philosophers examined the grounds for worshiping the God and argued that none of them are compelling enough to be accepted. This paper e…

The Emotion in Early Buddhist Psychology of Human Values
Discourse on the nature of the emotions and their role in moral life has been at the vortex of discussion in both Indian and Western philosophy for a long time. The concept of emotion has taken the centre stage in recent debates, connecting it with morality. In Indian philosophy, emotion plays a vital role in moral judgement and desire. The main aim of this article is to analyse whether there is any possibility of intentional intervention in an e…
Socialist Internationalism and the Gritty Politics of the Particular
This collection takes a case study approach to enter into and explore spaces of ‘Second-Third World’ interaction during the Cold War. From the dining halls of a university, to hospital wards, construction sites, military barracks, pubs and more, the chapters drop the scale down from the global to the particular to better see, understand and interpret the complex nature of these spaces.

How e-WOM influences consumers' purchase intention towards private label brands on e-commerce platforms
Whose Cosmopolitanism?
The term cosmopolitan is increasingly used within different social, cultural and political settings, including academia, popular media and national politics. However those who invoke the cosmopolitan project rarely ask whose experience, understanding, or vision of cosmopolitanism is being described and for whose purposes? In response, this volume assembles contributors from different disciplines and theoretical backgrounds to examine cosmopolitan…

The Postcolonial Moment in South and Southeast Asia
By exploring themes of fragility, mobility and turmoil, anxieties and agency, and pedagogy, this book shows how colonialism shaped postcolonial projects in South and Southeast Asia including India, Pakistan, Burma, and Indonesia. Its chapters unearth the contingency and contention that accompanied the establishment of nation-states and their claim to be decolonized heirs
Solar pumps and South Asia’s energy-groundwater nexus
South Asia's groundwater economy stands at the threshold of a revolution in adoption of solar irrigation pumps (SIPs). This has potential to unlock the region's perverse energy-groundwater nexus. In much of South Asia, the price of energy used in irrigation, the only surrogate for water price, fails to signal the abundance or scarcity of groundwater, resulting in myriad distortions. We analyse these in South Asia's eight distinct energy-groundwat…

Introduction
Noir Urbanisms
Dystopic imagery has figured prominently in modern depictions of the urban landscape. The city is often portrayed as a terrifying world of darkness, crisis, and catastrophe. Noir Urbanisms traces the history of the modern city through its critical representations in art, cinema, print journalism, literature, sociology, and architecture. It focuses on visual forms of dystopic representation--because the history of the modern city is inseparable fr…
Mumbai Fables
A place of spectacle and ruin, Mumbai exemplifies the cosmopolitan metropolis. It is not just a big city but also a soaring vision of modern urban life. Millions from India and beyond, of different ethnicities, languages, and religions, have washed up on its shores, bringing with them their desires and ambitions. Mumbai Fables explores the mythic inner life of this legendary city as seen by its inhabitants, journalists, planners, writers, artists…
Intellectuels en diaspora et théories nomades
Ce numéro vise à rendre compte de la complexité et de la variabilité des relations qu'entretiennent les cultures, les hommes et les savoirs d'ici et d'ailleurs, en particulier entre l'Inde et l'Occident. C'est l'occasion de souligner l'importance que revêtent aujourd'hui les circulations des expériences vécues et des connaissances, lesquelles permettent de reconfigurer la division internationale du travail scientifique et de redistribuer les cart…
Writing Post-Orientalist Histories of the Third World
To ask how the 'third world writes its own history' appears, at first glance, to be exceedingly naive. At best, it reaffirms the East-West and Orient-Occident oppositions that have shaped historical writings and seems to be a simple-minded gesture of solidarity. Furthermore, in apparently privileging the writings of historians with third-world origins, this formulation renders such scholars into 'native informants' whose discourse is opened up fo…

Bonded Histories
To the modern world, the notions that freedom is an innate condition of human beings and that money possesses the power to bind people appear as natural facts. Bonded Histories traces the historical processes by which these notions became established as dominant discourses in India during colonial rule and continued into post-colonial India. Gyan Prakash locates the formulation of these discourses in the history of bonded labour in southern Bihar…

Can the ‘Subaltern’ Ride? A Reply to O'Hanlon and Washbrook
The problem with Prakash, O'Hanlon and Washbrook conclude, is that he tries to ride two horses at once—one Marxist, the other poststructuralist deconstructionist. ‘But one of these may not be a horse that brooks inconstant riders. ...’ So, they say we must choose only one to ride on, not both because the two, in their view, have opposing trajectories. One advances historical understanding and progressive change, the other denies history and perpe…

Il etudie la place du colonialisme au sein du discours liberal en Grande-Bretagne pendant la periode coloniale. Il montre de quelle maniere les anciennes colonies sont devenues le Tiers-Monde.

Reproducing Inequality
Understanding how unequal relations are reproduced over time is as significant as comprehending inequality itself. For unequal relations exist only in human practices that reproduce them. More than a play on words, the coupling of production with reproduction in recent anthropological studies highlights processes that provide the basis for production. The necessity of reconstructing practices that reproduce social relations is perhaps nowhere mor…
The Modern Nation's Return in the Archaic
Civil society, community, and the nation in Colonial India
In contemporary discussions, theorists have identified community as an important arena for rethinking identity and politics. My paper examines the colonial genealogy of community in India, and argues that it cannot be conceived as a space outside of modernity. While community emerged at the site of the failure to establish civil society, governmentality – in Foucault's sense – was a condition of its constitution. This feature limits its potential…
Colonialism, Capitalism and the Discourse of Freedom
In the history and historiography of labour servitude, the ideology of modernity and progress looms large. Thus it was with bitter irony that a British officer described the miserable condition of a labourer in late nineteenth-century colonial India: “Steam, the great civilizer, has not done much for this man, although the railroad runs within a few hundred yards of his door.” The persistence of the miserably poor existence was bad enough, but tr…

Les lieux de production du discours savant
Cet article est en une réflexion générale sur la question de la « localisation » de la recherche universitaire concernant l'Asie du Sud. Il pose la question de savoir ce que signifie étudier l'Inde à partir de lieux discursifs et géographiques, ou politiques, différents. Il s'achève par une interprétation de courants intellectuels récents, tels que la remise en cause de l'orientalisme et l'émergence de la critique postcoloniale en Occident

“Peripheral” Labour? Studies in the History of Partial Proletarianization
This volume takes an alternative look at the notion of 'wage-workers'. The contributors suggest that the idea of a 'pure' working class should be reconsidered and examine specific South Asian and Latin American case studies. A large part of the working class in the so-called third world and also in the main capitalist countries is either free (but coerced through non-economic means) or does hidden work labor e.g. as formally self-employed produce…
