Simulating the “city of joy”: state choreography and the re-appropriation of public spaces in Kolkata<\/a><\/h3>\n

Taylor & Francis Online, Urban Geography, Volume 43 Issue 1, Routledge. April 2022<\/p>\n

Videos of what seems like enforced and orchestrated solidarity, performed by celebrities from the film industry in Kolkata, each scene blending into another, each upper-class urban home-space resembling the other, each envisioning a brighter future, rendering the same song in multiple voices, with metaphors of cities smiling again, circulated through social media are problematic in the erasures of particularities, \u201cof the presence of the poor, of crime, of dirt, of work\u201d….<\/p>\n

Kalikata to Calcutta to Kolkata to London: In Between a Colonial Past and a “Glocal” Present<\/i> – The Right to the Creative City Colloquy<\/a><\/h3>\n

Stanford Arcade, January 2022<\/p>\n

In 2002, Richard Florida, an urban studies scholar then at Carnegie Mellon University, published The Rise of the Creative Class, which became a surprise best-seller. In 2005, he followed that book with what he called a “prequel,” Cities and the Creative Class. Florida\u2019s key insight in both works was that “creative” people were transforming not only the economy, but also cities themselves. His work was taken up by city planners and public policy makers who were attracted to the idea that catering to creative people would lead to an economic enhancement of city life…<\/p>\n

“Go back to India if you hate my people so much”: Consequences of Troubling the “Canon” in American Academia<\/i><\/a><\/h3>\n

Troubling Traditions – Canonicity, Theatre, and Performance in the US, December 2021<\/p>\n

Troubling Traditions takes up a 21st century, field-specific conversation between scholars, educators, and artists from varying generational, geographical, and identity positions that speak to the wide array of debates around dramatic canons.<\/p>\n

Unlike Literature and other fields in the humanities, Theatre and Performance Studies has not yet fully grappled with the problems of its canon. Troubling Traditions stages that conversation in relation to the canon in the United States. It investigates the possibilities for multiplying canons, methodologies for challenging canon formation, and the role of adaptation and practice in rethinking the field\u2019s relation to established texts. The conversations put forward by this book on the canon interrogate the field\u2019s fundamental values, and ask how to expand the voices, forms, and bodies that constitute this discipline.<\/p>\n

This is a vital text for anyone considering the role, construction, and impact of canons in the US and beyond. Publisher Link<\/a><\/p>\n
