  • History from Below a Case Study of Folklore in Tulunadu
    27 HISTORY FROM BELOW A CASE STUDY OF FOLKLORE IN TULUNADU b y N. SHYAM BHAT Introduction - Subaltern Historiography This paper attempts to delineate and examine the uses and limitations of folklore and folk literature in the writing of history through the subaltern paradigm. The subaltern or “history from below” approach had originated in the 1980s in Indian historio­ graphy due to the efforts of Ranajit Guha and others. In the last two decades, the subaltern scholars have contributed immensely to the enrichment of historical writings on South Asia.1 Edward Said has said: “Subaltern studies represents a crossing of boundaries, a smuggling of ideas across lines, a stirring up of intellectual and, as always, political complacence”.2 David Cannadine has described it as “Gettysburg history” - of the people, by the people and for the people.3 It is an attempt to meet the demand for “de-elitisation” of history and write the history of the historyless. Like other historiographical schools in Indian history, the Subaltern school is also indebted to Western scholars and their ideas. They are considerably influenced by the writings of Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, A. L. Morton, E. P. Thompson, EricJ. Hobsbawm, Frantz Fanon, George Rude and a host of others.4 The ancient regime in historiography or “from the top down” approach in historical writing is considered obsolete at least from the last quarter of the twentieth century in India. History, as a 1. For a detailed explanation of the meaning and nature of subaltern historiography, see Ranajit Guha (ed.).

  • Expectant Urbanism Time, Space and Rhythm in A
    EXPECTANT URBANISM TIME, SPACE AND RHYTHM IN A SMALLER SOUTH INDIAN CITY by Ian M. Cook Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: Professor Daniel Monterescu CEU eTD Collection Professor Vlad Naumescu Budapest, Hungary 2015 Statement I hereby state that the thesis contains no material accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. The thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgment is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Budapest, November, 2015 CEU eTD Collection Abstract Even more intense than India's ongoing urbanisation is the expectancy surrounding it. Freed from exploitative colonial rule and failed 'socialist' development, it is loudly proclaimed that India is having an 'urban awakening' that coincides with its 'unbound' and 'shining' 'arrival to the global stage'. This expectancy is keenly felt in Mangaluru (formerly Mangalore) – a city of around half a million people in coastal south Karnataka – a city framed as small, but with metropolitan ambitions. This dissertation analyses how Mangaluru's culture of expectancy structures and destructures everyday urban life. Starting from a movement and experience based understanding of the urban, and drawing on 18 months ethnographic research amongst housing brokers, moving street vendors and auto rickshaw drivers, the dissertation interrogates the interplay between the city's regularities and irregularities through the analytical lens of rhythm. Expectancy not only engenders violent land grabs, slum clearances and the creation of exclusive residential enclaves, but also myriad individual and collective aspirations in, with, and through the city – future wants for which people engage in often hard routinised labour in the present.

The Social stratification in a community is often complex and ambiguous in nature. Upon the rise of each nation states and civilization, there were several parameters, which determined the social stratification. In ancient Greece, the word used to denote the divisions are genos. The ancient Greek society was divided into citizens, metics and slaves. In ancient Rome, the social stratification was identified with mainly two groups, Patricians and Plebeians. The chief resource for the social stratification parameters are economical in nature. Other factors such as tradition and beliefs are often can be said to have rooted in the wider economic subject. The term class is often associated with economics. There are usually hegemonial and subdued elements in social stratifications. In ancient Greece, the hegemonial element is found associated with the citizens, who are free and members of the assembly whereas slaves were the subdued element who were brought into slavery. In ancient Rome, the hegemonial element were the patricians whereas the plebeians were the subdued. These ideas can often be observed with Class struggle and historical materialism. The division of history into stages based on the relation of the classes is an important aspect of Historical materialism. In India, the main social stratification parameter is the caste.it could be claimed as ceremonial as well as economic in nature. BR Ambedkar observes Endogamy as a product of ceremonial caste.

  • A Landscape Approach to the Rejuvenation of the Cultural Landscape of Barkur Through Historical Analysis
    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 Impact Factor (2018): 7.426 A Landscape Approach to the Rejuvenation of the Cultural Landscape of Barkur through Historical Analysis Meghana K Raj, Rajshekar Rao 1MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore, India 2Professor, MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore, India Abstract: Barkur, which is an ancient port town in Karnataka situated on the banks of the river Sita, has a unique culture that is developed because of its natural setting and that is reflected in the way of life, Architecture, and festivals. It has a rich historical background and this cultural landscape which has evolved over centuries is under threat due to insensitive development and apathy towards their heritage. This paper involves a landscape approach through historical analysis of the primary data and survey method using secondary data to map the topography of this town. Design strategies are proposed for a sustainable rejuvenation of the heritage and cultural landscape to achieve ecological stability, conservation of the monuments and to promote eco-tourism and showcase the glory and growth of this town. It is found that proper watershed management would help to optimize the use of natural resources, improve agriculture productivity and revive the lost interlinks between the streams and tanks. Policies are proposed to protect and conserve rich farmlands and provide for a sustainable development of the historic sites and monuments. The proposals include a sustainable development to promote eco-tourism and provide economic opportunities to the local community. Keywords: Cultural landscape, Ecological stability,Eco-tourism, Morphology, Sustainable Rejuvenation 1.

Second offers an insight into the mass possession cult of Siri, which like the other rituals of Bhūtārādhane derive their referential script from the oral tradition of the land.
