Paperback. Condition: New. In this ground-breaking account of the political economy and cultural meaning of blood in contemporary India, Jacob Copeman and Dwaipayan Banerjee examine how the giving and receiving of blood has shaped social and political life. Hematologies traces how the substance congeals political ideologies, biomedical rationalities, and activist practices. Using examples from anti-colonial appeals to blood sacrifice as a political philosophy to contemporary portraits of political leaders drawn with blood, from the use of the substance by Bhopali children as a material of activism to biomedical anxieties and aporias about the excess and lack of donation, Hematologies broaches how political life in India has been shaped through the use of blood and through contestations about blood. As such, the authors offer new entryways into thinking about politics and economy through a "bloodscape of difference": different sovereignties; different proportionalities; and different temporalities. These entryways allow the authors to explore the relation between blood's utopic flows and political clottings as it moves through time and space, conjuring new kinds of social collectivities while reanimating older forms, and always in a reflexive relation to norms that guide its proper flow.…

Hardback. Condition: New. How Cold War geopolitics and domestic capitalism changed the trajectory of India's computing industryIndia today is widely recognized for producing world-class tech talent and Silicon Valley leaders, yet captures only a fraction of the global tech industry's profits, primarily providing skilled but inexpensive labor for Western corporations. Computing in the Age of Decolonization uncovers the overlooked history behind this paradox, tracing India's ambitious but ultimately thwarted drive to build a self-reliant computing industry from the 1950s to the 1980s.After independence in 1947, Indian scientists and policymakers at institutions such as the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research saw computing as central to national sovereignty, economic growth, and scientific advancement. Through projects such as the groundbreaking TIFRAC computer and the decisive expulsion of IBM, they aimed for technological independence. But almost immediately, these initiatives faced powerful political and economic headwinds. Indian computer scientists grappled with Cold War politics, international trade imbalances, US corporate monopolies, and strategic decisions by India's technocratic elite, who favored profitable technical services over costly investments in research and manufacturing.In narrating this lost future, Computing in the Age of Decolonization shows that genuine technological independence requires more than technical expertise-it demands addressing enduring political and social structures rooted in colonial legacies. As global struggles over technology intensify, this book reveals how historical pathways continue to shape contemporary battles for technological and economic sovereignty. …

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Towards a People's Cinema hopes to open up more scope for a dialectical exchange between practitioners, audiences, subjects and activists of independent documentary cinema, probing the latter as a medium with the radical potential of challenging and disrupting the status quo. This collection of essays and interviews aims to enquire, in the post-colonial Indian context, if cinema can be a democratised people's medium and a tool for a progressive transformation of the society. It starts building a repository, perhaps for the first time, of first-person experiences of collectives and individual film practitioners in India, who have worked with independent documentary cinema, with a similar enquiry. It aims to chronicle how politically conscious contemporary film collectives are re-fashioning the erstwhile notion of film societies as spaces not just for critical film appreciation but also for broader socio-political engagement and action. The independent political documentary in India is a little over 40 years old. It can be argued that in terms of both content and form, it is a far more exciting and vibrant place than its fiction counterpart. The horrors of neoliberal dystopia are perhaps best captured raw and candid in the documentary than in fictionalised representations of unfurling life. However, little has been written about the independent documentary in India, which seriously impairs a critical engagement with it. This book wishes to contribute to the discourse, by placing the Indian documentary into historical and material context, from which its present depth and spread have emerged. (jacket).…
