Synopsis
This Gedenkschrift brings together essays written in honour and memory of Anil Bhatti, Professor Emeritus at the Centre of German Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. The contributions in this volume engage with a range of scholarly issues that were central to Anil Bhatti’s research interests: culture theory, comparative literature, philosophy, political theory. Professor Bhatti introduced a new cultural-theoretical paradigm, similarity, into the debate on globality and universalism, which he most recently articulated in collaboration with Dorothee Kimmich. Many of the essays in this collection explore this paradigm. Others respond to his disquiet and critical engagement with hegemonizing cultural impulses and their far-reaching repercussions.
