Open Aparna Parikh Thesis.Pdf THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY THE GRADUATE SCHOOL DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE NEOLIBERAL ISLANDS: GATED SPACES, PERMEABLE BOUNDARIES AND URBAN HYGIENE IN MUMBAI, 1990-2013 A THESIS IN ARCHITECTURE BY APARNA PARIKH © 2013 APARNA PARIKH SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARCHITECTURE AUGUST 2013 The thesis of Aparna Parikh was reviewed and approved* by the following: Alexandra Staub Associate Professor of Architecture Thesis Advisor Denise Costanzo Assistant Professor of Architecture Daniel Purdy Professor of German Mehrdad Hadighi Professor, Stuckeman Chair of Integrative Design Head of Department of Architecture *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii abstract This thesis sets out to understand the manifestation of power and its varying relationships with identity through a spatial analysis of neoliberal Mumbai. It aims to illustrate ways in which sweeping global visions are received in specific localized ways on the ground, and the ways in which these are influenced by, and influence the identity of the users of that space. The appropriation of power, and its resultant degrees of displacement, is being viewed through the lens of spatial analysis theoretically informed by Henri Lefebvre’s The Production of Space, which sets up a tension between perceived, conceived, and lived space. The notions of displacement are informed further through the lens of hygiene, brought out in Mary Douglas’ conceptualization of dirt as matter out of place. These hierarchical relationships, and manifestation of control, range from a fair degree of compliance to a strong resistance, impacted deeply by the identity of the user. The positioning of the observer and observed is greatly informed by a feminist lens, which also helps provide an intersectional understanding of identity. The research was conducted through interviews, on-site observations and informal conversations at various sites in Mumbai. Spaces repeatedly mentioned as symbols of modernity and hygiene evoked my curiosity, leading to observations and further interviews. The spaces that held particular interest for me were the call center, the gated community, and the mall; all are spaces that proliferate in specific ways through neoliberal policies. iii While the idea of a gated community is not new in India, there is a particular form of gated community that has accompanied the advent of neoliberalization. This gated community is being conceptualized as a myopic spatial locus of various conceptions of gated: gated spaces, gated minds and gated lives. A mall often caters to a populace similar to the one inhabiting the space of the gated community, and influences thesetupof hermetically sealed networks in the landscape of the city. While the call center clearly manifests the workings of the neoliberal policies through the insertion of an alien, globalized object within the dense urban fabric, this thesis attempts to unearth the manner in which local networks of adaptation are formed in relation to it. The thesis demonstrates the manner in which space elucidates aspects of displacement, how hierarchies in societal structures have been re-formulated, yet stabilized, despite claims of liberation from tradition, and how attempts at adaptation through compliance, negotiation and resistance take place in space. iv table of contents LIST OF FIGURES VI ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS IX INTRODUCTION 1 PART 1 11 chapter 1: play of power 12 chapter 2: role of identity 26 chapter 3: spatial analysis 40 PART 2 45 chapter 4: at home in the gated community? 46 chapter 5: jane in the call center 66 chapter 6: moving in the mall 88 PART 3: CONCLUSIONS 105 APPENDIX: INTERVIEW QUESTIONNAIRE 110 BIBLIOGRAPHY 112 v list of figures Figure 1.

Lakkad Doctoral Research Candidate, Centre for Studies in Science, Technology and Innovation Policy (CSSTIP), School of Social Sciences, Central University of Gujarat, Gujarat. ORCID ID: 0000-0002-0330-0661. Email: [email protected] Received January 31, 2018; Revised April 22, 2018; Accepted May 19, 2018; Published May 26, 2018. Abstract This paper engages with ‘Frankenstein’ as a narrative structure in Indian popular cinema, in the context of posthumanism. Scholarship pertaining to monsters/monstrosity in Indian films has generally been addressed within the horror genre. However, the present paper aspires to understand monstrosity/monsters as a repercussion of science and technology (S&T) through the cinematic depiction of Frankenstein-like characters, thus shifting the locus of examining monstrosity from the usual confines of horror to the domain of science fiction. The paper contends Enthiran/Robot (Shankar 2010 Tamil/Hindi) as an emblematic instance of posthuman monstrosity that employs a Frankenstein narrative. The paper hopes to bring out the significance of cinematic imagination concerning posthuman monstrosity, to engage with collective social fears and anxieties about various cutting-edge technologies as well as other socio-cultural concerns and desires at the interface of S&T, embodiment and the society/nation. Keywords: Posthumanism, Monstrosity, Frankenstein, Indian popular cinema, Science Fiction, Enthiran/Robot The Frankenstein narrative and Posthuman Monstrosity It has been argued that in contemporary techno-culture Science Fiction (hereafter SF) performs the role of “modern myth(s)” (Klein, 2010, p.137).

  • The Vulnerability of Global Cities to Climate Hazards
    The Vulnerability of Global Cities to Climate Hazards Andrew Schiller*, Alex de SherbininU, Wen-Hua Hsieh*, Alex PulsipherUU * George Perkins Marsh Institute, Clark University U Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN), Columbia University UU Graduate School of Geography, Clark University Abstract Vulnerability is the degree to which a system or unit is likely to expierence harm due to exposure to perturbations or stress. The vulnerability concept emerged from the recognition that a focus on perturbations alone was insufficient for understanding responses of and impacts on the peoples, ecosystems, and places exposed to such perturbations. With vulnerability, it became clear that the ability of a system to attenuate stresses or cope with consequences constituted an important determinant of system response, and ultimately, of system impact. While vulnerability can expand our ability to understand how harm to people and ecosystems emerges and how it can be reduced, to date vulnerability itself has been conceptually hampered. It tends to address single stresses or perturbations on a system, pays inadequate attention to the full range of conditions that may render the system sensitive to perturbations or permit it to cope, accords short shrift to how exposed systems themselves may act to amplify, attenuate, or even create stresses, and does not emphasize the importance of human-environment interactions when defining the system exposed to stresses. An extended framework for vulnerability designed to meet these needs is emerging from a joint research team at Clark University, the Stockholm Environment Institute, Harvard University, and Stanford University, of which several authors on this paper are part.

    TECHNO-ECONOMIC SURVEY AND PREPARATION OF DPR FOR PANVEL-DIVA-VASAI-VIRAR CORRIDOR 9. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT 9.1 ENVIRONMENTAL BASELINE DATA The main aim of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) study is to ascertain the existing baseline conditions and to assess the impacts of all the factors as a result of the proposed New Sub-urban corridor on Virar-Vasai Road-Diva-Panvel section. The changes likely to occur in different components of the environment viz. Natural Physical Resources, Natural Ecological (or Biological) Resources, Human/Economic Development Resources (Human use values), Quality of life values (socio-economic), would be studied and assessed to a reasonable accuracy. The environment includes Water Quality, Air Quality, Soils, Noise, Ecology, Socio-economic issues, Archaeological /historical monuments etc. The information presented in this section stems from various sources such as reports, field surveys and monitoring. Majority of data on soil, water quality, air and noise quality, flora and fauna were collected during field studies. This data have been further utilized to assess the incremental impact, if any, due to the project. The development/compilation of environmental baseline data is essential to assess the impact on environment due to the project. The proposed new suburban corridor from Panvel to Virar is to run along the existing Panvel-Diva-Vasai line of Central Railway and then Vasai Road to Virar to Western Railway.The corridor is 69.50 km having 24 stations on Panvel-Virar section. Land Environment The project area is situated in Mumbai, the commercial capital of India. The average elevation of Mumbai plains is 14 m above the mean sea level.

  • Factors Affecting Residential Satisfaction in Slum Rehabilitation Housing in Mumbai (As Shown in Table 1)
    sustainability Article Factors Affecting Residential Satisfaction in Slum Rehabilitation Housing in Mumbai Bangkim Kshetrimayum 1,2 , Ronita Bardhan 1,3,* and Tetsu Kubota 2 1 Centre for Urban Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Powai, Mumbai 400076, India; [email protected] 2 Graduate School for International Development and Cooperation, Hiroshima University, 1-5-1 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739-8529, Japan; [email protected] 3 Department of Architecture, University of Cambridge, 1-5 Scroope Terrace, Cambridge CB2 1PX, UK * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: 01223-332969 Received: 1 February 2020; Accepted: 12 March 2020; Published: 17 March 2020 Abstract: Affordable housing for the low-income population, who mostly live in slums, is an endemic challenge for cities in developing countries. As a remedy for the slum-free city, most of the major metropolis are resorting to slum rehabilitation housing. Rehabilitation connotes the improved quality of life that provides contentment, yet what entails residential satisfaction in such low-income situations remains a blind spot in literature. The study aims to examine the factors affecting residential satisfaction of slum rehabilitation housing in Mumbai, India. Here, the moderation effects of sociodemographic characteristics between residential satisfaction and its predictors are elaborated using a causal model. Data on residents’ perception of the residential environment were collected from 981 households in three different slum rehabilitation housing areas spatially spread across Mumbai. The causal model indicated that residential satisfaction was significantly determined by internal conditions of dwelling resulting from design, community environment and access to facilities. Gender, age, mother tongue, presence of children, senior citizens in the family, and education moderate the relationship between residential satisfaction and its predictors.

  • From Bombay to Mumbai
    Travelogue Armchair travels From Bombay to Mumbai This learning reminiscence discussion with six senior citizens from Eudora, Missouri, explores a different travel destination each month with things to learn, questions to answer, and a whole lot of fun along the way. This month they are traveling to Mumbai, India, to immerse themselves in the Indian culture. Traveling How-To’s & Tips • This is a copy of the complete trip for the facilitator to use. This activity can be acted out or read aloud in a skit-like manner by participants representing the six different Front Porch characters using this large-print dialogue. • Check out the links in the article for additional information to bring to the activity. • This PDF slide presentation may be better suited as a stand-alone activity for some audiences. The presenter can refer to the facilitator copy of the complete trip for links and more information to add as the slides are reviewed. • Post a sign announcing the trip. • If your group isn’t familiar with the Front Porch Travelers, have them Meet the McGivers (and friends). A Travel Advisory from Nell and Truman: If using all the information in Travelogue seems too complex for your group, trim it back and just present sections—such as showing and discussing the slide show or copies of the pictures, reading and discussing trivia points, or asking and discussing questions from the Discussion Starters. From Bombay to Mumbai Introduction India is a land of mystery and intrigue—so many sights, sounds, and smells (some good and some not so good).

  • Mumbai Street Shopping
    Shops Mumbai Street Shopping Colaba Causeway: The everyday carnival that is the Colaba Causeway market is a shopping experience like no other in Mumbai. Geared especially towards tourists, that infamous Indian saying of "sab kuch milega" (you'll get everything) certainly applies at this market. Dodge persistent balloon and map sellers, as you meander along the sidewalk and peruse the stalls. Want your name written on a grain of rice? That's possible too. If you need a break from shopping, pop into Leopold's Cafe or Cafe Mondegar, two well-known Mumbai hangouts. Location: Colaba Causeway, Colaba, south Mumbai. Opening Hours: Daily from morning until night. What to Buy: Handicrafts, books, jewelry, crystals, brass items, incense, clothes. Chor Bazar: Navigate your way through crowded streets and crumbling buildings, and you'll find Chor Bazaar, nestled in the heart of Muslim Mumbai. This fascinating market has a history spanning more than 150 years. Its name means "thieves market", but this was derived from the British mispronunciation of its original name of Shor Bazaar, "noisy market". Eventually stolen goods started finding their way into the market, resulting in it living up to its new name! Location: Mutton Street, between S V Patel and Moulana Shaukat Ali Roads, near Mohammad Ali Road in south Mumbai. Opening Hours: Daily 11 a.m. until 7.30 p.m., except Friday. The Juma Market is held there on Fridays. What to Buy: Antiques, bronze items, vintage items, trash & treasure, electronics item. Linking Road: A fusion of modern and traditional, and East meets West, in one of Mumbai’s hippest suburbs.
