Urban agriculture in India
AI the end of human era a foresight to future of human existence
The present article aims to indicate on the concept of evolution of the society from one stage to the other leading to the development or changes in the human world followed from the birth of Adam and Eve to the human world and ultimately to the AI which became very popular concept nowadays. Though AI has been dominating the Universe with its enormous capabilities, but should the AI be treated as the end of human world or would it be treated as t…
Narrating Trauma
In The Way of the World (1987), Franco Moretti identifies the bildungsroman as “the ‘symbolic form’ of modernity,” one that allows a culture both to register the new and revolutionary aspect of an emergent European sociohistorical reality and to function as a vehicle of its legitimation.1 The modernity to which the bildungsroman responded, though, brought in its wake an array of tensions and hardships. Industrial capitalism, increased urbanizatio…

Leveraging Chennai’s Complex Governance Network for Addressing the City’s Water Woes
Chennai’s governance network plays a critical role in shaping the city’s waterscape. Through an urban political ecology (UPE) lens, this article investigates the intersection between water as part of nature and water as shaped by social context, with a focus on existing governance networks. Using a combination of social network analysis and thematic analysis, the article studies data gathered from in-depth semi-structured interviews, workshop dis…
Cultivating sustainable and healthy cities
Despite considerable interest in urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) in recent decades, its contributions to urban sustainability and human wellbeing remain contested. This systematic literature review examines the geographical landscape of the peer-reviewed literature on UPA and assesses its reported outcomes on sustainability and wellbeing. Following systematic review protocols, we undertook a two-step literature screening and quality assess…
Thinking with Wolves
This article is an examination of the career of the “wolf child”—a human child lost or sacrificed by human parents but nurtured by wolf mothers—in imperial South Asia. Notably, wolf children become a particular concern of evangelical Protestant missionaries in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; for the latter, these children featured as subjects in a miracle narrative, in which they were preserved from harm against all odds by their divinely…
Other than Human
This special section, “Other Than Human: Rethinking Colonial and Postcolonial South Asia,” speaks to the ways in which the other than human puts pressure on our sense of the secular contours of imperial rule and the postcolonial condition. Shifting from simply undoing the distinction between human and the other than human, each contributor grapples with how the other than human refuses to provide any easy to grasp object or politics, especially o…
The Strange Ecologies of Empire
This essay reads nineteenth-century imperial India as the mise en scène for certain critical concatenations of human sovereignty, divinity, and animality. It does so by focusing on the imperial state's war upon human and extrahuman forms of predation, showcasing in the process a cluster of texts on collective criminal activity, hunting, and popular religion and folklore that share certain grids of intelligibility and vocabularies of rule. Colloca…
On Verminous Life
By the nineteenth century, models of just and civilized sociability in the Anglophone world came to encompass forms of obligation to the nonhuman, and the colony assumed the status of a crucial theater for thinking about forms of cruelty, sympathy, and protection. On the terrain of the Indian colony, this new moral economy of care and inclusion encountered an existing Indic economy of vegetarianism and nonkilling of animals, which it sought to ca…

"Welcome in my backyard"…but on my terms
Kipling's Bestiary
The animal turn in studies of nineteenth-century imperialism has been a long time in coming. Scholars seeking to yoke together questions of nonhuman life and the domain of the colony have come to acknowledge, at long last, that the imperial landscape was not a purely human one. Only now, suggests John Miller, has the considerable scholarship on empire and the natural world made an impress upon Victorian literary studies (479). The animal turn, ho…

Non-profit and Community-based Green Space Production in Milwaukee
This paper examines the rise of civic participation, a feature of neo-liberal privatisation, in the context of Milwaukee's urban green space management. Using in-depth semi-structured interviews and archival research, it presents the argument that civic organisations are not just ‘neo-liberal artifacts’ that facilitate trends of privatisation and commodification of and state retrenchment from urban environmental resources. Utilising a range of st…

The Political Ecology of Uneven Urban Green Space
This article investigates the role of urban political economy, private-public property relations, and race and ethnicity in the social production of Milwaukee's urban forest. By integrating urban-forest canopy-cover data from aerial photography, United States Census data, and qualitative data collected through in-depth interviews, this analysis suggests that there is an inequitable distribution of urban canopy cover within Milwaukee. Since urban …

Failing to Grow "Their" Own Justice? The Co-Production of Racial/Gendered Labor and Milwaukee's Urban Forest
Little attention is paid to the ways that labor market inequalities within urban institutions enforce governance regimes that (re)produce urban environmental unevenness. Milwaukee's Bureau of Forestry is one such institution that has historically been dependent on state-sanctioned labor market inequalities to perpetuate an explicitly White/male regime of environmental governance and production. Historically, the Bureau's management employed and p…
Meat–Eating, Masculinity, and Renunciation in India
This paper focuses on the writings and the autobiography of one of the century’s most prominent vegetarians, who was almost as noted (or notorious) for his alimentary and sexual experiments as for his political ones. A consideration of diet is, I argue, in many ways central rather than marginal to a Gandhian gendered ethics and a Gandhian politics. The accounts of the eating and abjuration of meat in the Gandhian oeuvre can serve as a useful poin…

Organizing Empire
Purnima Bose's monograph seeks to illuminate the degree to which the vast and well-articulated corporate enterprise of British colonialism was ideologically invested in the figure of the individual and in the ideology of individualism. Conventional imperial histories, especially of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, have been predicated to a significant degree on the Carlylean notion of the great man as the embodiment of his age and as…
