  • Development Urbanism
    Development Urbanism Short, modified version of feature article published in the Danish newspaper Information 21.06.2010 By Henrik Valeur, 2010 According to the UN, the world will be populated with two billion more people within the next twenty to thirty years, almost all of whom will inhabit cities in the developing world. Building cities for nearly 100 million additional people every year over the next twenty to thirty years is a challenge, but also an opportunity of enormous dimensions. Depending on how it is done, it could either become one of humanity's greatest successes or one of our worst failures. Population growth is in many ways problematic, but it is better that it occurs in cities rather than in isolated rural areas. The reason is that we are better able to solve problems and make progress when we do it together. This is also why the evolution of cities and civilizations has always been closely intertwined. Two billion new urban inhabitants could give an incredible boost to the development of our civilization! Today, one in five people the world over live in extreme poverty; more than 100 million children never attend school and, although the relative infant mortality has never been lower, millions of children still die each year from pneumonia, malnutrition, diarrhea, malaria, infections and the like. According to the World Bank, three quarters of the world’s poor live in rural areas. Thus it would seem obvious to direct development aid into rural areas, as is the current practice. But no matter how much aid is distributed, rural areas will never be able to generate sufficient surplus to sustain the almost exponential population growth developing countries are experiencing.

  • Women Are Entering Indian Parliament but at the Cost of SC, ST
    21/11/2019 More women are entering Indian Parliament but at the cost of SC, ST men More women are entering Indian Parliament but at the cost of SC, ST men Political parties replace male SC, ST candidates with women to keep as many general category male candidates as possible. FRANCESCA JENSENIUS 11 June, 2019 8:59 am IST Advertisement (L-R) Member of parliament Muthuvel Karunanidhi Kanimozhi, Smriti Irani, Supriya Sule , Anupria Patel and Harsimrat Kaur Badal at an event | Praveen Jain/Suraj Bisht Text Size: A- A+ n the 2019 elections, 715 out of the more than 8,500 candidates in the fray were women, and 78 made it into the new Lok Sabha. This will increase the share of I women in the Lok Sabha from about 12 per cent to about 14 per cent. In most parts of the world, it is women from dominant social groups who are most likely to make it into politics, but not in India. Over the past 30 years, more women have been fielded from and won SC/ST-reserved seats than general-category seats. This means that much of the increase in women’s representation in Indian politics is happening at the cost of SC/ST men rather than general-category men.

In 1913, Srinivasa Ramanujan (Dev Patel), a self-taught Indian mathematics genius, traveled to Trinity College, Cambridge, where over the course of five years, forged a bond with his mentor, the brilliant and eccentric professor, G.H. Hardy (Jeremy Irons), and fought against prejudice to reveal his mathematic genius to the world. The film also stars Devika Bhise, Stephen Fry and Toby Jones. This is Ramanujan’s story as seen through Hardy’s eyes. LONG SYNOPSIS Colonial India, 1913. Srinavasa Ramanujan (Dev Patel) is a 25-year-old shipping clerk and self-taught genius, who failed out of college due to his near-obsessive solitary study of mathematics. Determined to pursue his passion despite rejection and derision from his peers, Ramanujan writes a letter to G. H. Hardy (Jeremy Irons), an eminent British mathematics professor at Trinity College, Cambridge.

    www.TLHjournal.com Literary Herald ISSN: 2454-3365 An International Refereed/Peer-reviewed English e-Journal Impact Factor: 4.727 (SJIF) ‘Refraction’ and Manipulation of Literary Fame: A Study of Malgudi Days Mr. Dhiren Parmar Ph.D. Student and Temporary Assistant Professor Department of English, Faculty of Arts The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda Vadodara, Gujarat, India Abstract The 1986 television adaptation of Malgudi Days (1943), by a prominent Indian English writer R. K. Narayan, can be read as „refraction,‟ a concept developed by Andre Lefevere. According to him refraction implies “the adaptation of a work of literature to a different audience, with the intention of influencing the way in which that audience reads that work (Lefevere, 1982).” The paper aims to elucidate the manifestation of television adaptation as refraction by examining various cultural, linguistic and ideological constraints, as discussed by Lefevere, which influenced its reproduction in the culture of the target language (Hindi), ultimately playing a major role in the history and culture of the target audience. The paper also aims to explore the reasons why and how television adaptation manipulated Narayan‟s literary fame in post-colonial India. Keywords: R.K. Narayan, television adaptation, Indian writing in English, refraction, translation studies, literary fame, post-colonial India. R. K. Narayan, the author of short stories‟ collection, Malgudi Days is one of those celebrated Indian English writers, who gained eminence, after Rabindranath Tagore, in the English speaking world. He was the first Indian English writer to receive the Sahitya Akademi Award by the Indian government in the year 1960. He was also nominated for Nobel Prize in the year 1996.

  • Co-Evolutionary Architecture
    Co-evolutionary architecture Synopsis by Henrik Valeur, 2019 About the book Proposal for a book consisting of a theoretical introduction to the concept of co-evolution, its application in various fields and its possible meaning and relevance in architecture; three chapters about the possible application of the concept in practice, research and education, respectively; and a discussion about the co-evolutionary integration of theory, practice, research and education in architecture. Each chapter is made up of two parts that are reciprocally evolved like the co-evolution between the butterfly and the plant it pollinates and from which its larvae feed. This relationship between the butterfly and the plant, however, is affected by many other factors, including the individual co-evolution of each organism with predators and parasites. Similarly, the two parts of each chapter are co-evolved with the parts of the other chapters. And, because co-evolution occurs through interaction between different groups of organisms, each part of the book differs from the other parts: one part being visionary and another reflective; one part being based on personal experiences and another on theoretical arguments. The book thus imparts a combination of experiential, propositional and theoretical knowledge that is developed in a process in which concrete experiments, critical discussions, evaluation of experiences, theoretical studies and the development of visions evolve one another. The book differs from most other books about architecture in that its focus is on the processes of architecture rather than on the results. It is about how to conceive, create, study and teach architecture rather than about what is conceived, created, studied or taught.
