    THE PARK Magazine 10 LIVING / Issue 10 / Contrast LIVING is a barometer for global drifts, glimpsed through the unique lens of The Park Hotels. Travers- ing the landscape of contemporary lifestyle in the 21st century, it reflects on inventive thinking in design, hospitality, cuisine and artistic expression. How does the juxtaposition of opposites create a whole new engagement? In the final issue of our volume that looks at the world through the building blocks of design, we explore contrast and its power to augment experience. 02 In.congruity 14 Converse: Dialogues on Contrast + Sujata Assomull Sippy con + Abraham & Thakore + Monica Dogra + Nathaniel Gaskell 24 The Park Spotlight 28 The Park Explorer: Delhi 32 The Park People: Alex Davis 34 A Slice of The Park 38 The Park Scoop trast40 Art at The Park congruityin. Within the white walls of a factory turned gallery, thousands of stainless steel pots and pans stand in a perfectly haphazard pile. Under the big top of the Great Bombay Circus, its resident pehelwan (wrestler) makes his grand entry on a toddler’s tricycle. Her pink hair drenched, a teenager stops to pour water on a golden Buddha before pointing her plastic gun at the crowds gathered for Songkran on the streets of Bangkok. Things that don’t go together have this uncanny way of working together beautifully. What turns a bucket into a thing of art? There’s scale, and there’s craftsmanship. But the sheer contrast of context in Subodh Gupta’s installations, the mundane everyday planted bang in the centre of discourse, tells a tale that the same bucket could never convey in your bathroom.

  • Los Angeles a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Satisfaction of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomu
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles FIND THE TRUE COUNTRY: DEVOTIONAL MUSIC AND THE SELF IN INDIA’S NATIONAL CULTURE A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by VIVEK VIRANI 2016 © Copyright by Vivek Virani 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Find the True Country: Devotional Music and the Self in India’s National Culture by Vivek Virani Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Daniel M. Neuman, Chair For centuries, the songs of devotional poet-saints have been an integral part of Indian religious life. Countless regional traditions of bhajans (devotional songs) have been able to maintain their existence by adapting to serve the contemporary social needs of their participants. This dissertation draws on fieldwork conducted over 2014-2015 with contemporary bhajan performers from many different genres and styles throughout India. It highlights a specific tradition in the Central Indian region of Malwa based on poetry by Kabir and other Sants (anti- establishment poet-saints) performed by lower-caste singers. This tradition was largely unheard- of half a century ago, but is now a major part of Malwa’s cultural life that has facilitated the creation of lower-caste spiritual networks and created a space for those networks to engage in discourse about social issues. Malwa’s bhajan singers have also become part of India’s popular ii religious and musical life as certain performers have attained celebrity status and been recognized at the national level as living bearers of the Sant tradition. This dissertation follows performers and songs from Malwa into new contexts and explores the processes by which performers and audiences in diverse styles and contexts use Sant bhajans to construct understandings of the self.
