Dreaming of Diasporas: Urban Developments and Transnational Identities in Contemporary Kolkata
TOPIA 17 |111 Pablo S. Bose Dreaming of Diasporas: Urban Developments and Transnational Identities in Contemporary Kolkata ABSTRACT This paper examines the contested nature of diasporas and their complex involvement in dynamics of international development by focusing on the recent construction of luxury condominiums on the fringes of the Indian metropolis of Kolkata. These new housing projects are built and marketed with a self-consciously global aesthetic in mind and are actively promoted to both overseas Indian communities and local elites as spaces in which one can take up an explicitly “international” identity. This paper argues that these discourses and developments regarding life-space and lifestyle are part of a broader project intended to help Kolkata regain its past glory as a “world city.” Furthermore, it is suggested that the deployment of the heavily mythologized figure of the global Indian is a crucial element for mobilizing key actors and constituting material transformations in the postcolonial city. RÉSUMÉ Ce texte examine la nature contestée des diasporas et leur implication complexe dans les dynamiques de développement international en se concentrant sur les récentes constructions de condominiums luxueux en bordure de la métropole indienne de Kolkata. Ces constructions nouvelles sont bâties et mises sur le marché en valorisant un esthétisme consciemment global. Elles sont activement promues, à la fois aux communautés Indiennes outre-mer et aux élites locales, comme étant des espaces dans lesquels un individu peut acquérir une identité « internationale » explicite. Ce texte argumente que ces discours et ces développements au sujet de l’espace de vie, et de style de vie, font partie d’un projet plus large visant à soutenir Kolkata pour regagner sa gloire passée comme « ville du monde » . -

Top Quark Pair Production Close to Threshold: Top Mass, Width and Momentum Distribution
CERN-TH/99-59 DESY 99-047 hep-ph/9904468 April 1999 Top Quark Pair Production Close to Threshold: Top Mass, Width and Momentum Distribution A. H. Hoanga and T. Teubnerb a Theory Division, CERN, CH-1211 Geneva 23, Switzerland b Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY, D-22603 Hamburg, Germany Abstract + The complete NNLO QCD corrections to the total cross section σ(e e− Z∗,γ∗ tt¯), → → in the kinematic region close to the top-antitop threshold, are calculated by solving the corresponding Schr¨odinger equations exactly in momentum space in a consistent momentum cutoff regularization scheme. The corrections coming from the same NNLO QCD effects to the top quark three-momentum distribution dσ/d ~k are determined. We discuss the origin | t| of the large NNLO corrections to the peak position and the normalization of the total cross section observed in previous works and propose a new top mass definition, the 1S mass M1S, which stabilizes the peak in the total cross section. If the influence of beamstrahlung and initial state radiation on the mass determination is small, a theoretical uncertainty on the 1S top mass measurement of 200 MeV from the total cross section at the linear collider seems possible. We discuss how well the 1S mass can be related to the MS mass. We propose a consistent way to implement the top quark width at NNLO by including electroweak effects into the NRQCD matching coefficients, which can then become complex. PACS numbers: 14.65.Ha, 13.85.Lg, 12.38.Bx. CERN-TH/99-59 April 1999 1 Introduction + + It will be one of the primary goals of a future e e− linear collider (LC) or µ µ− pair collider (FMC) to measure and determine the properties of the top quark, whose existence has been confirmed at the Tevatron (M = 173.8 5 GeV [1]). -

Filed by: Viacom Inc. Pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended Commission File No.: 001-09533 Subject Company: Viacom Inc. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jessica Reif Cohen - Analyst - Merrill Lynch All right, we will get started with the afternoon. With the split up of Viacom expected no later than the first quarter of 2006, Tom Freston's role will change again. Having led the most successful cable network for the past 25-plus years, although he doesn't look it, Tom Freston's challenge is to extend this brand success with consumers across multiple platforms, both wired and wireless, while satisfying investors' demand for growth across multiple metrics. We certainly believe that management is up to this task. Please welcome Tom Freston, Co-President and Co-COO of Viacom. But before Tom takes the stage, we have a video to show you. (shows video, playing "Desire" by U2) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Freston - Viacom - Co-President, Co-COO Well, that ought to wake you a little bit after lunch. Good afternoon, everybody. I'm Tom Freston. Thank you, Jessica. It's nice to be here in Pasadena. This time last year, Leslie Moonves and I were settling into our new positions in a Company that was a really wide conglomeration of media assets with varying growth rates and prospects. You can see them all up there now. And by now, most of you are familiar with the rationale behind the split of Viacom, which we expect to happen at the end of this year or the beginning of next year. -

Guilt, Shame and Model Minorities: How South Asian Youth in Toronto Navigate the Canadian Educational System
GUILT, SHAME AND MODEL MINORITIES: HOW SOUTH ASIAN YOUTH IN TORONTO NAVIGATE THE CANADIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM by Sangeetha Navaratnam A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education © Copyright by Sangeetha Navaratnam 2011 GUILT, SHAME AND MODEL MINORITIES: HOW SOUTH ASIAN YOUTH IN TORONTO NAVIGATE THE CANADIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM Masters of Arts 2011 Sangeetha Navaratnam Sociology and Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract The present study examines issues that South Asian youth face as members of a model minority group. Using 14 semi-structured interviews, South Asian youth (aged 18-26) discussed issues they encountered as they navigated educational institutions in Canada. The study found that participants were not aware of the term model minority. Furthermore, participants received input, either directly or indirectly, from family and community members regarding their career choices. Lastly, participants experienced guilt and shame during decision-making processes, but ultimately chose their own path with [eventual] acceptance from parents. Results indicate that schools in the GTA are not attuned to the needs of South Asian students which often left students at a disadvantage when making future career and educational choices. There is a need for educators, administrators, and policymakers to develop more specialized programs toward helping South Asian youth navigate the Canadian educational institutions. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank all of the South Asian youth who agreed to participant in this study. I would like to express my appreciation for your willingness to share your stories with me. -

Balaji: Bollyville, U.S.A: The Commodification of the Other and MTV’s Con Bollyville, U.S.A: The Commodification of the Other and MTV’s Construction of the “Ideal Type” Desi Murali Balaji When the Music Television Network launched MTV Desi in 2005, it promised to bridge the divide between South Asian Americans and their counterparts in the Indian subcontinent.1 This study looks at how MTV Desi tried to create an “ideal type” South Asian American through its programming, presenting an image of South Asian Americans as loving “Bhangra but also Shakira… MTV but also Bollywood.” The author seeks to articulate the political economy of identity by describing MTV’s attempts to define and commodify “Desi-ness.” The author also attempts to explain why MTV Desi ultimately failed and how marginalized audiences can resist commodification by rejecting corporate- defined identity. -
