Ocean as Method Thinking with the Maritime

Ocean as Method presents a new way of thinking about the humanities and the social sciences. It explores maritime connections in social and humanistic research and puts forward an alternative to national histories and area studies. As global warming and rising sea levels ring alarm bells across the world the chapters in the volume argue that it is time to think through oceans to realign discourses which better understand our future. The volume: • Engages with the paradigms of oceanic narratives to identify connections between continents through trade migration and economic processes thinking beyond the artificial distinctions between the Pacific Atlantic and Indian Oceans; • Discusses oceanic travel accounts by Muslim travellers to counter the idea that the colonial era was marked by European travel to Asia and Africa without a counterflow of “native travel”; •Examines the connections between South Africa South Asia and South East Asia through histories of Indian indenture and the slave trade and engages with the idea of the ocean and enforced movement; •Compares and connects recent scholarship in the social sciences and the humanities centring the ocean to break away from inherited paradigms which have shaped world history so far. As a unique transdisciplinary collaboration this volume will be of much interest to scholars and researchers of history especially oceanic history historiography critical theory literature geography and Global South studies. | Ocean as Method Thinking with the Maritime

India Infrastructure Report 2012 Private Sector in Education

Today India�s education sector remains a victim of poor policies restrictive regulations and orthodoxy. Despite being enrolled in schools children are not learning adequately. Increasingly parents are seeking alternatives through private inputs in school and tuition. Students are dropping out from secondary school in spite of high financial returns of secondary education and those who do complete it have inferior conceptual knowledge. Higher education is over-regulated and under-governed keeping away serious private providers and reputed global institutes. Graduates from high schools colleges and universities are not readily employable and few are willing to pay for skill development. Ironically the Right to Education Act if strictly enforced will result in closure of thousands of non-state schools and millions of poor children will be left without access to education. Eleventh in the series India Infrastructure Report 2012 discusses challenges in the education sector � elementary secondary higher and vocational � and explores strategies for constructive change and opportunities for the private sector. It suggests that immediate steps are required to reform the sector to reap the benefits from India�s �demographic dividend� due to a rise in the working age population. Result of a collective effort led by the IDFC Foundation this Report brings together a range of perspectives from academics researchers and practitioners committed to enhancing educational practices. It will be an invaluable resource for policymakers researchers and corporates. | India Infrastructure Report 2012 Private Sector in Education

Critical Humanities from India Contexts Issues Futures

The field of humanities generates a discourse that traditionally addressed the questions of what is proper to man rights of man crimes against humanity human creativity and action human reflection and performance human utterance and artefact. The university as a philosophical-political institution transmits this humanist account. This European humanistic legacy which is little more than Christian anthropology barely received any questioning from cultures that faced colonialism. In such a context this volume attempts to unravel the ‘barely secularized heritage’ of Europe (Derrida’s phrase) and its fatal consequences in other cultures. The task of Critical Humanities is to explore the ways in which the question of being human (along with non-human others) today from heterogeneous cultural ‘backgrounds’ can be undertaken. The future of the humanities teaching and research is contingent upon the risky task of configuring cultural difference from non-European locations. Such a task is inescapable and urgently needed when tectonic cultural upheavals have begun to show devastating effect on planetary coexistence today. It is precisely in such a context that this collection of essays on critical humanities affirms ‘without alibi’ the urgency of collective reflection and innovative research across the traditional disciplinary and institutional borders and communication systems on the one hand and Asian African and European cultural formations on the other. Critical Humanities are at one level little more than communities on the verge (critical) but whose centuries long survival and resilient creations of cultural (and /as natural) habitats are of deeply enduring significance to affirm the biocultural diversities of living that compose the planet. Topical and timely this book will be useful to scholars researchers and teachers of cultural theory literary studies philosophy cultural geography legal studies sociology history performance studies environmental studies caste and communalism studies postcolonial theory India studies and education. | Critical Humanities from India Contexts Issues Futures
