Epicentre to Aftermath Edited by Michael Hutt, Mark Liechty, Stefanie Lotter Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-83405-6 — Epicentre to Aftermath Edited by Michael Hutt, Mark Liechty, Stefanie Lotter Frontmatter More Information Epicentre to Aftermath Epicentre to Aftermath makes both empirical and conceptual contributions to the growing body of disaster studies literature by providing an analysis of a disaster aftermath that is steeped in the political and cultural complexities of its social and historical context. Drawing together scholars from a range of disciplines, this book highlights the political, historical, cultural, artistic, emotional, temporal, embodied and material dynamics at play in the earthquake aftermath. Crucially, it shows that the experience and meaning of a disaster are not given or inevitable, but are the outcome of situated human agency. The book suggests a whole new epistemology of disaster consequences and their meanings, and dramatically expands the field of knowledge relevant to understanding disasters and their outcomes. Michael Hutt is a scholar of Nepali literature and Emeritus Professor of Nepali and Himalayan Studies at SOAS, University of London. He has authored and edited fourteen books and over fifty articles and book chapters on Nepali and Himalayan topics. He co-edited, with Pratyoush Onta, Political Change and Public Culture in Post-1990 Nepal, which was published by the Press in 2017. Mark Liechty is Professor of Anthropology and History at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is a cultural anthropologist by training and has been a student of Nepali and South Asian culture and history for more than three decades. He is the author of influential books on modern Nepal and a oundingf co-editor of the journal Studies in Nepali History and Society. -
Community Based Participatory Approach in Cultural Heritage Reconstruction: a Case Study of Kasthamandap
Community based participatory approach in Cultural Heritage Reconstruction: A case study of Kasthamandap Rija Joshi1, Alina Tamrakar2, Binita Magaiya3 Abstract Kasthamandap, a centrally located monument in the old settlement of Kathmandu, is the 7th century structure, from which the name of Kathmandu valley originated. Kasthamandap was originally a public rest house and holds social, cultural and religious significance. The 25th April Gorkha earthquake completely collapsed the monument and it took a year before the government disclosed its reconstruction plan. However, the preparations were not satisfactory. The proposed plans severely contradicted with the traditional construction system. The introduction of modern materials such as steel and concrete made the aesthetic and artistic values of the monument to lose its original identity. The general public couldn’t accommodate with the idea of our national heritage being rebuilt with considerably newer materialistic ideas and a large public outcry against the proposal was seen. The necessity of reconstruction using traditional methods and materials with equal involvement of the community was realised to maintain identity, increase community belongingness and to connect new generation with the heritage. Therefore, a community initiative to rebuild Kasthamandap started with the involvement of diverse groups from the community. This paper discusses the observations, learning and achievements of community participation of the Kasthamandap rebuilding process. Further, the paper includes exploration of both tangible and intangible aspect and its benefits for overall heritage knowledge of Kathmandu valley. This paper presents an exemplary participatory heritage-making concept, which can be a learning for heritage reconstructions in future. Key words: Cultural Heritage, Community participation, Reconstruction, Conservation 1. -

Grandin Understanding Change Text Only
Symposium on Music and Ritual in the Himalayas Department of Religious studies, Yale, November 2010 Understanding change in the Newar music culture: the bhajan revisited Ingemar Grandin Linköpings universitet, Sweden That a group of men gather to sing bhajan hymns is not something people appear to care very much about. It is just a part of everyday life. --picture 1-- This particular bhajan has its home in a neighborhood – twah – in the heart of the Newar town of Kirtipur, in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, not so very far from the great cities of Kathmandu and Lalitpur. The singers have their own room in a pati (resthouse), just inside the shrine to Ganadya, or Ganesh. --picture 2-- My paper here starts out from neighborhood bhajan singing. This type of cultural event, as we will see, is a good starting-point for exploring forms of change in Newar music-making. So let us stay with this particular bhajan session for a few more paragraphs! In certain respects, this is a social event where a group of friends and neighbors assemble to do something together. The man at the triangle, for instance, doesn’t sing much and the reason for his taking up this comparatively soft-sounding instrument seems to be that he doesn’t quite keep the time. Tea for a refreshment break is brought from a nearby shop, and more tea – cooked on an electric clay- stove inside the pati while the singing goes on – is taken before the party breaks up. Participation, rather than for instance musical accomplishment, is a key value in the event, and people invite each other to take turns at the harmonium and the nagara drum. -

AFT Sightseeings in Nepal
Sightseeings in Nepal Nepal has been a dreamland of the tourists since a long. Nepal invites, welcomes, and bewilders the visitors. Those who have already visited Nepal cherish the desire for the second visit and those who have heard or read about the kingdom make a plan to visit Nepal. Geographically, Nepal is small country but she shines like a multi gem in her diversity. She is holy, she is wonderful, she is gracious, she is strange, she is wild and she is beautiful. The small geographical territory encapsulates the most diverse of geo-topographical, biological and Socio-ethnic varieties. In this country there stands the majestic Mt. Everest, fertile land of the Terai sprawls luxuriously, deep George’s and fountains spring up form treasure house of the earth; swift and roaring rivers tumble down directly from the Himalayas, many rare and beautiful species of plants and animal find safe and favorable shelter in the land, the altitude of which varies between 70 meters to 8848 meters. More importantly, more than 65 ethnic groups speaking more than 45 languages present an unique example of the harmony in the diversity. In short, people with different sets of interest and different temperament find many things as their interest in the smallest possible territory. A few highlighted places not to be missed with in the kingdom are as follows. Kathmandu City The Kathmandu valley is the hub of Nepal for its’ political, commercial and cultural activities and is the first stop for the majority of the visitors to the country. Once separate kingdom in itself, it consists of three cities of the great history. -
