I am grateful for their patience, their trust and their dedication. I am particularly indebted to the patience and thoroughly precise readings of Véronique Dupont, and to the steadfast institutional and personal support of Vinay Gidwani. If I could foretell my last hour in due time, his letter of recommendation could get me admitted into heaven. There she would discuss and improve upon the methodology of the Book of Life. I benefited from the help of two immense scholars and mentors and I hope to have learned from their respective strengths. The earthly errors in this dissertation are mine only. Beside my advisors, I would like to thank Prof Agnes Deboulet, Prof Marianne Morange, Prof. Michael Goldman and Prof. Bruce Braun, for accepting to seat on this committee. I am particularly grateful to Prof. Richa Nagar who accepted to chair it. I would like to express my particular appreciations for the mentorship of prof. Bruce Braun and Michael Goldman who accepted me in Directed Readings before becoming members of my prelim committee. Prof Goldman and professor Morange, joined by professor Remy Allain, also accepted to seat in the Comité de Suivit Individuel in Paris. For my fieldwork I have received the help and advice of Partha Mukhopadhyay in the Centre for Policy Research, and of Awadhendra Sharan in the Center for the Study of Developing Societies. I am very grateful to the CESSMA, which has welcomed me in its rank and funded three years of ideal research conditions. The main fieldwork research could not have been conducted the way it was without the support of AIIS, and the preliminary fieldwork was made possible by the Global Alliance of UMN. I would like to extend a particular thanks to my hosts institutions in India, the Center for the Study of Developing Society for the preliminary fieldwork, and the Center for Policy Research for my longer i Damien Carrière – Filtering Class through Space: Security Guards and Urban Territories in Delhi, India – 2018 stay. The financial support of the geography department of UMN, of Council Of Graduate Students of UMN, of the CESSMA and of the College of Liberal Arts permitted me to attend many conferences as well as the RC21 Summer School, and to exchange my ideas to my peers. I spent a long time in many universities, and there I was blessed with meeting many exceptional mentors and teachers. I think it is appropriate here to mention in particular the impact that Prof Rémy Allain, Prof Jennifer Robinson, Prof Keya Ganguly, Prof George Henderson, Prof Reinhold Martin, or Prof Jean Pihan have had on my intellectual trajectory and on my life. For this work, I am grateful for the thought-provoking readings of Dr. Sudeshna Mitra, Caroline Michon and Etha Williams. I am also grateful for the thorough proofreading efforts of Courtney Gildersleeve, Clara Chevalier, Amita Rana, Dr. Sarbani and Basit Umer, Etha Williams and Charumati Haran, and the picture of Barkha Bhatnagar. Priyam Tripathy, has not only helped the proofreading and challenged many ideas, but also contributed in the data collection, and at every step of the way. This dissertation is a bit hers. I would like to thank my research assistant Niti Jha and wish her luck in all her endeavors. I am not sure anything would be, or would have been, possible at all without the solar efficiency of Sara Braun and the kindness of Jodie Larson and Bonnie Williams. In Paris and in Delhi this work would have been much harder without the kind and generous logistical support of Blandine and Xavier Dupont, Pauline Puig and Bernard Flouzat, Yannis Abgraal, and Aditi Rao. Few people have the immense luck of having two families. I would like to thank Brigitte and Philippe Carrière, for helping me bring this—and everything else—to the light, and for being ever present when the road gets rough. And on a rough road, I was blessed to meet Lydia McAnerney and John Orrison, whose warm house has become a home. To you all I give my love. ii Damien Carrière – Filtering Class through Space: Security Guards and Urban Territories in Delhi, India – 2018 I would like to express my kindest thoughts to Cyrille Arquié, Maylis Rabaud and Olivier Arquié, Clarisse and Alexandre Baron, and their respective families, as well as to Rebecca and Andrew Orrison. Clara Chevalier, always. Chloé Leclère, my bike professor, Christine Ithurbide, and all those who know who they are, and there are many. Priyam, will you keep walking by my side? You make me happy when skies are gray... iii Damien Carrière – Filtering Class through Space: Security Guards and Urban Territories in Delhi, India – 2018 This work is for the students whom I had the honor and joy to teach. iv Damien Carrière – Filtering Class through Space: Security Guards and Urban Territories in Delhi, India – 2018 Abstracts Titre en français : La Ville au filtre des gardiens de sécurité – Domination et territoires urbains, Delhi. Résumé : Les gardiens de sécurité sont présents en grand nombre dans les quartiers des classes moyennes et supérieures de Delhi et dans les centres commerciaux. Je demande : quels effets ces gardiens de sécurité ont-ils sur la ville de Delhi ? Un quart de million d’hommes sont déployés dans ses rues, sans qu’ils parviennent à enrayer la criminalité contre les femmes. Il apparaît que les gardiens de sécurité ont essentiellement pour rôle de marquer le territoire qu’ils surveillent comme étant celui des classes moyennes et supérieures. Le premier chapitre expose en détail la méthodologie de ce travail. Le second propose une « phénoménologie des gardiens de sécurité », c’est-à-dire une description de qui ils sont et du travail qu’ils font. Ce travail tend à remettre en cause la notion d’espace public. Le troisième chapitre s’intéresse au cadre légal et montre ses contradictions internes. Non seulement les lois ne sont pas cohérentes, mais elles sont surtout ignorées. Cela ne doit pas être perçu comme un affaiblissement de l’État mais comme un renforcement de la position des classes moyennes et supérieures dans le contrôle de la ville. Dans le quatrième chapitre je propose de placer les gardiens de sécurité dans l’économie politique de Delhi. Je montre comment ils participent de retarder les crises du système capitaliste notamment en absorbant une partie de la main d’œuvre surnuméraire. Le système qui permet aux gardiens de sécurité de travailler repose sur une division genrée du travail qu’ils contribuent à accentuer en renforçant la domination masculine sur les rues de Delhi. Mots clefs : Delhi, gardiens de sécurité, sécurité privée, espace publique, Lefebvre, production de l’espace, ethnographie, géographie du travail, capitalisme et sécurité, travailleurs d’interface. v Damien Carrière – Filtering Class through Space: Security Guards and Urban Territories in Delhi, India – 2018 Title : Filtering Class through Space : Security Guards and Urban Territories in Delhi, India Abstract : Security guards have become a fixture of a city like Delhi. They stand on duty in every upper and middle-class neighborhood and in every mall. I ask : what are the effects of security guards on the city of Delhi? A quarter of a million men are deployed in Delhi’s streets, and they are not successful in stopping crimes against women. It appears that the role of security guards is to mark the territory that they keep under watch as belonging to the upper and middle-classes. The first chapter exposes in detail the methodology employed for data collection. The second one proposes a “phenomenology of security guards”, that is, a close description of who they are and the work they do. Their work interrogates on the making and unmaking of public space. The third chapter pays attention to the legal framework and shows that the laws framing the work of security guards are neither coherent, nor respected.

  • History of the Gurkhas
    Sheet 2 History of the Gurkhas Gurkhas have been part of the British Army for almost 200 years, but who are these brave fighters? Gurkhas are people from Nepal. According to a legend, they got their name from a warrior saint, Guru Gorkhanath, who lived 1200 years ago. He had predicted that his people would become world famous for their bravery. The word Gurkha also comes from the name of a city, Gorkha, in western Nepal. Britain tried to invade Nepal when it was trying to conquer the northern parts of India. The British soldiers had fine rifles whilst the Ghurkas were armed only with their traditional knives called Kukris. But the Nepali soldiers were such courageous and clever fighters that the British soldiers could not defeat them, After six months of fighting, Britain decided to make peace with Nepal. The British army began to recruit Gurkha soldiers because they wanted them to fight on their side. Since that day, the Ghurkas have fought alongside British troops in every battle across the world. Nepal became a strong ally of Britain. One hundred thousand Gurkhas fought in the First World War. They fought and died in the battlefields of France in the Loos, Givenchy, Neuve Chapelle and Ypres as well as many other countries. Again the whole of the Nepali army fought for Britain during the Second World War. There were 250,000 Gurkha in total. The were used by the British to put down revolts in India. Gurkhas fought in Syria, North Africa, Italy, Greece and against the Japanese in Singapore and in the jungles of Burma.

  • Rethinking Gorkha Identity: Outside the Imperium of Discourse, Hegemony, and History
    Peace and Democracy in South Asia, Volume 2, Numbers 1 & 2, 2006. RETHINKING GORKHA IDENTITY: OUTSIDE THE IMPERIUM OF DISCOURSE, HEGEMONY, AND HISTORY BIDHAN GOLAY ABSTRACT The primary focus of the paper is the study of the colonial construction of the Gorkha identity and its later day crisis. Taking the colonial encounter as the historic moment of its evolution, the paper makes an attempt to map the formation of the Gorkha identity over the last two hundred years or so by locating the process of formation within the colonial public sphere that emerged in Darjeeling in the early part of the twentieth century. The paper tries to cast new light on the nature of contestation and conflation between the colonial identity or the martial identity inscribed on the body of the Gorkha by the colonial discourse of “martial race” and the cultural identity that was emerging in course of time. It also tries to establish the fact that the colonial forms of representation of the “Gurkhas” as the “martial race” is still the dominant form of representation foreclosing all other forms of representation that had become possible as a new self-identity emerged with the cultural renaissance in Darjeeling and elsewhere. It also looks into the problem of double consciousness of the deterritorialised Gorkha subjectivity that is torn between two seemingly conflictual impulses of a primordially constructed notion of the Gorkha jati (community) and the demands of a modern nation-state. The paper also argues that the Gorkha identity has somewhat failed in securing a political space for its cultural identity leading to deep fissures in its multi layered identity.

TRAVERSING SOCIAL SPACE: GURUNG JOURNEYS1 MARY DEs CHENE BRYN MAWR CoLLEGE Introduction Nepal is inevitably characterized as a mountainous place. Almost proverbially, it is a "small landlocked country." It is often pointed out to be a place in which many people suffer poverty. It is also a place where much movement occurs, movement not unrelated to these three facts of topography, geopolitical situation and socioeconomic conditions. Whether one thinks of local movement up and down steep hillsides in the course ofagricultural labor, of internal migration from hills to plains and countryside to cities, or ofthe constant transit to and from sites of labor abroad, people are frequently on the move. To characterize these journeys, commonplace occurrences in many peoples' lives, it is essential to keep in sight the conditions-topographical, geopolitical and socioeconomic-that constrain or enable them.

  • Cultural Landscape Inventory December 2005 (Revisions Aug 2011)
    Camp Randall Memorial Park Cultural Landscape Inventory December 2005 (Revisions Aug 2011) Quinn Evans|Architects University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Landscape Architecture, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences Division of Facilities Planning and Management ©2011, Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System University of Wisconsin-Madison Cultural Landscape Inventory DEFINITIONS What is a “cultural landscape”? The following document is based on concepts and techniques developed by the National Park Service (NPS). The NPS has produced a series of manuals for identifying, describing, and maintaining culturally significant landscapes within the national park system.1 The National Park Service defines a cultural landscape as a geographic area, including both cultural and natural resources and the wildlife or domestic animals therein[,] associated with a historic event, activity, or person, or [one] that exhibits other cultural or aesthetic values.2 In 1925, geographer Carl Sauer (1889-1975) summarized the process that creates cultural landscapes: “Culture is the agent, the natural area is the medium, the cultural landscape the result.” 3 Similarly, the writer J. B. Jackson (1909-1996) looked upon the landscape as a composition of spaces made or modified by humans “to serve as infrastructure or background for our collective existence.”4 What is a “cultural landscape inventory”? 5 This cultural landscape inventory for Camp Randall Memorial Park is one of eight such studies completed as part of the UW-Madison Cultural Landscape Resource Plan. Each inventory defines the boundaries of a distinct cultural landscape on campus, summarizes its history, describes its current condition, and makes recommendations about its treatment.
