1. Introduction
Notes 1. Introduction 1. ‘Diaras and Chars often first appear as thin slivers of sand. On this is deposited layers of silt till a low bank is consolidated. Tamarisk bushes, a spiny grass, establish a foot-hold and accretions as soon as the river recedes in winter; the river flows being considerably seasonal. For several years the Diara and Char may be cultivable only in winter, till with a fresh flood either the level is raised above the normal flood level or the accretion is diluvated completely’ (Haroun er Rashid, Geography of Bangladesh (Dhaka, 1991), p. 18). 2.

1 the ONLINE DURGA Kerstin Andersson, Dept of Social
The online Durga, Kerstin Andersson 070605, [email protected] THE ONLINE DURGA Kerstin Andersson, Dept of Social Anthropology, University of Gothenburg, Sweden Abstract The paper focuses on the role of the new ICT technologies in the creation, formation and maintenance of a Diaspora identity among the Kolkata intellectuals. Among the Kolkata intellectuals migration has been a common feature since the end of the 19th century. In contemporary Kolkata, almost every family in this category has one or several relatives living in the Diaspora. Satellite TV and the ICT technologies that entered the arena during the last decades have got an increasing importance among those groups. The new technologies affect the flow of ideas and gives way to new global forms of interaction. Access to new forms of communication alters identities and social forms, the relationship to the home country changes. The flow of religious and cultural expressions increases. Kolkata Websites have become the major channel for news, information and contact. Virtual communities and networks have appeared. Religious and symbolic forms of expression alter and are re- configured. For example the Durga puja ritual has become a major icon for Diaspora unity and identity among the Kolkata intellectuals. Pictures from all the puja sites in Kolkata are displayed and anjali offerings to the goddess are performed online. The paper is based on fieldwork made in Kolkata in 2000-2001. Introduction This paper will explore the role of the new ICT technologies in the creation, formation and maintenance of a Diaspora identity among Kolkata intellectuals.i In the 90ies the new information and communication technologies exploded. -
Syncretic Socialism in Post-Colonial West Bengal: Mobilizing and Disciplining Women for a ‘Sustha’ Nation-State
Syncretic Socialism in Post-Colonial West Bengal: Mobilizing and Disciplining Women for a ‘Sustha’ Nation-State by Anisha Datta A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Sociology) The University of British Columbia (Vancouver) August 2009 © Anisha Datta, 2009 Abstract The discourse of equality, emancipation and dignity for women does not necessarily lead to the formation of an emancipated female subject, but often ends up supporting structures and practices against which the struggle was begun. The thesis develops this argument through a close reading of the textual discourse of the socialist women’s mass organization, the Paschim Banga Ganatantrik Mahilaa Samity (PBGMS). The PBGMS is the largest state unit of the All India Democratic Women’s Association (AIDWA), which in turn is affiliated with the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), the largest communist party in India. While the PBGMS relentlessly fights for women’s rights in public life, an examination of its published materials suggests that its ultimate aim to create a sustha (normal) nation-state, a cohesive society and a happy family turn these rights into new shackles for women. In particular, through a close reading of its publications – including pedagogical booklets, editorials, essays, poems, travelogues and fictional narratives from the periodical Eksathe – the thesis explores how the PBGMS views women instrumentally as reproductive and socializing agents for the supply of future sources of productive labor and as productive beings to act as a reserve force of labor. While comparisons can be made with other countries in the socialist world, in particular China and the USSR, this thesis focuses on PBGMS textual discourse within the specific social and political history of India, in particular Bengal. -
