ETH NO. 24103 Cricket, Public Culture, and Mediated Identities in Calcutta, 1934-1999 A thesis submitted to attain the degree of DOCTOR OF SCIENCE ETH ZURICH (Dr. sc. ETH Zurich) presented by SOUVIK NAHA M.Phil., Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi Born April 4, 1987 Citizen of India accepted on the recommendation of Prof. Dr. Harald Fischer-Tiné Prof. Dr. Christian Koller Prof. Dr. Projit Bihari Mukharji 2016 Abstract This thesis explores a network of mediated relationships, constituted by the mass media, readers, and spectators, to uncover various strands of the public’s mobilisation as cricket consumers in Calcutta from 1934 to 1999. It argues that mediatisation and mediation of cricket have played more significant a part in the circulation of cricket than historians have accorded to it. It studies the role of literature, news reports and radio broadcasts, which have transmitted cricket for a long period, as agents of producing a history of the sporting public. The framework of culture in this thesis is formulated on media texts which, far from being confined to objective treatment of cricket, evoked canons, provided the sport with a sense of tradition, and determined the protocols of its appropriation.
