SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: On the Problem of (Re-)Activity: Mobilizing Media with the Sikh Diaspora
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerA common refrain in political rhetoric is the charge that given instances of agonism are defective because they are in some crucial way reactive. However\, “reactivity” is polysemous and opaque\, despite any seeming transparency implied by the fluency by which it is so often attributed. This talk offers an analytic and ethnographic entrée into the problem of reactivity by considering diasporic investments in mass-mediated address. Sikh media activists scrutinize the reactivity seemingly cultivated by their own community-operated media institutions in their renowned capacity to both assemble and excite. In the wake of brutal state violence\, the mediation of reactivity becomes both a vehicle to address injustice and itself a site to reckon justice that has been withheld. \nRandeep Singh Hothi is a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Research Fellow affiliated with the Asian American Studies Center at UCLA. He is a philosophically trained anthropologist concerned with disruptive re-imaginations of the political and economic. \nCosponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group and the Department of Anthropology

SUMMARY:Research Focus Group Talk: State Highway 31: A Road Trip through the Heart of Modern India
DESCRIPTION:Download FlyerThis talk will follow the route of State Highway 31 through western Madhya Pradesh\, central India. The research is part of a larger project looking at the ideas behind the production of infrastructure in South Asia. This journey takes us through landscapes of sex work and opium\, some of the oldest nationalist networks in the country\, and along the fault-lines of long-running tensions between local communities. The road was one of a series built as a public private partnership and\, as such\, speaks of the reconfiguration of state relations with private capital and business. Toll booths become places of company ethos\, for education\, and for the creation of new kinds of citizens. The nexus of government and private enterprise takes us on a dizzying journey through the world’s tax havens and onto the decks of luxury yachts. Exploring the broader political economy of the road and the organization of institutions and travellers that sustains it encourages questions about the nature of governance and power in the country. \nEdward Simpson is Professor of Social Anthropology and Director of the South Asia Institute at SOAS University of London. He is currently interested in the relationship between infrastructure\, automobility\, and the global-sustainability agenda in South Asia. He is the Principal Investigator on a five-year project funded by the European Research Council looking at infrastructure across South Asia. This work is being undertaken in partnership with the Mumbai-based artists CAMP. His publications include The Political Biography of an Earthquake: Aftermath and Amnesia in Gujarat\, India and Muslim Society and the Indian Ocean: The Seafarers of Kachchh. \nSponsored by the IHC’s South Asian Religions and Cultures Research Focus Group\, the Department of Anthropology\, and the Department of History
