  • Inner-City and Outer-City Neighbourhoods in Kolkata: Their Changing Dynamics Post Liberalization
    Article Environment and Urbanization ASIA Inner-city and Outer-city 6(2) 139–153 © 2015 National Institute Neighbourhoods in Kolkata: of Urban Affairs (NIUA) SAGE Publications Their Changing Dynamics sagepub.in/home.nav DOI: 10.1177/0975425315589157 Post Liberalization http://eua.sagepub.com Annapurna Shaw1 Abstract The central areas of the largest metropolitan cities in India are slowing down. Outer suburbs continue to grow but the inner city consisting of the oldest wards is stagnating and even losing population. This trend needs to be studied carefully as its implications are deep and far-reaching. The objective of this article is to focus on what is happening to the internal structure of the city post liberalization by highlighting the changing dynamics of inner-city and outer-city neighbourhoods in Kolkata. The second section provides a brief background to the metropolitan region of Kolkata and the city’s role within this region. Based on ward-level census data for the last 20 years, broad demographic changes under- gone by the city of Kolkata are examined in the third section. The drivers of growth and decline and their implications for livability are discussed in the fourth section. In the fifth section, field observations based on a few representative wards are presented. The sixth section concludes the article with policy recommendations. 加尔各答内城和外城社区：后自由主义化背景下的动态变化 印度最大都市区中心地区的发展正在放缓。远郊持续增长，但拥有最老城区的内城停滞不 前，甚至出现人口外流。这种趋势需要仔细研究，因为它的影响是深刻而长远的。本文的目 的是，通过强调加尔各答内城和外城社区的动态变化，关注正在发生的后自由化背景下的城 市内部结构。第二部分提供了概括性的背景，介绍了加尔各答的大都市区，以及城市在这个 区域内的角色。在第三部分中，基于过去二十年城区层面的人口普查数据，研究考察了加尔 各答城市经历的广泛的人口变化。第四部分探讨了人口增长和衰退的推动力，以及它们对于 城市活力的影响。第五部分展示了基于几个有代表性城区的实地观察。第六部分提出了结论 与政策建议。 Keywords Inner city, outer city, growth, decline, neighbourhoods 1 Professor, Public Policy and Management Group, Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, Kolkata, India.

After much endeavor, the institution is all set to go for the first cycle assessment and accreditation by NAAC. It was quite a task to comprehend, grasp and fulfill all the parameters of the SSR; especially so, because the College is spread over three shifts at three different timings. Connecting to and co-ordinating with 213 teachers and 76 non-teaching staff were difficult, but in the long run, fruitful. In between full session classes and with the trepidation of a nervous first- timer, keeping the deadline intact was a sweating struggle with time. All segments of the College were made to sit up and contribute their bit. Ms. Piyasa Bhowal and Sri Saumen Maity assisted us all the way through with their diligent typing.

  • Setting the Stage: a Materialist Semiotic Analysis Of
    SETTING THE STAGE: A MATERIALIST SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS OF CONTEMPORARY BENGALI GROUP THEATRE FROM KOLKATA, INDIA by ARNAB BANERJI (Under the Direction of Farley Richmond) ABSTRACT This dissertation studies select performance examples from various group theatre companies in Kolkata, India during a fieldwork conducted in Kolkata between August 2012 and July 2013 using the materialist semiotic performance analysis. Research into Bengali group theatre has overlooked the effect of the conditions of production and reception on meaning making in theatre. Extant research focuses on the history of the group theatre, individuals, groups, and the socially conscious and political nature of this theatre. The unique nature of this theatre culture (or any other theatre culture) can only be understood fully if the conditions within which such theatre is produced and received studied along with the performance event itself. This dissertation is an attempt to fill this lacuna in Bengali group theatre scholarship. Materialist semiotic performance analysis serves as the theoretical framework for this study. The materialist semiotic performance analysis is a theoretical tool that examines the theatre event by locating it within definite material conditions of production and reception like organization, funding, training, availability of spaces and the public discourse on theatre. The data presented in this dissertation was gathered in Kolkata using: auto-ethnography, participant observation, sample survey, and archival research. The conditions of production and reception are each examined and presented in isolation followed by case studies. The case studies bring the elements studied in the preceding section together to demonstrate how they function together in a performance event. The studies represent the vast array of theatre in Kolkata and allow the findings from the second part of the dissertation to be tested across a variety of conditions of production and reception.
