Islamic feminism and Muslim women’s rights activism in India: from transnational discourse to local movement- or vice versa?
Nomos eBooks · 3 Zitationen · DOI
Der Band untersucht sozio-kulturellen Wandel in Asien und der arabischen Welt vor dem Hintergrund von Mediatisierungsprozessen. Das Buch basiert auf der Annahme, dass soziale und kulturelle Veränderungen nie exklusiv auf Medien oder technologische Innovationen zurückzuführen sind, sondern deren Effekte für sozialen Wandel von der Zueigenmachung der Medien durch die Menschen in ihrem Alltag abhängen. Der Fokus der Beiträge liegt daher auf der Aneignung von Medien(technologien) spezifischer politischer und sozialer Strukturen, für die jeweils die lokalen Besonderheiten, aber auch die translokalen Vernetzungen aufgezeigt werden.

The article is based on the assumption that documentary films are an important ‘ channel of mediation’ (Strathern, 2002, Journal of Molecular Biology, 319(4), 985–993) that helps make visible the changing configurations of family, kinship and social reproduction. It further assumes that documentary images of egg donors, medical procedures, fertility clinics, delivery or labouring bodies of surrogates, and handing over of a ‘commodified’ newborn baby to the commissioning parents effectively convey the repercussions that gestational surrogacy has for all the medicalised bodies which are involved in the transnational processes of reproduction. Widely circulated and received documentaries such as Google Baby (2009), House of Surrogates (2013), Ma Na Sapna: A Mother’s Dream (2013) or Can We See the Baby Bump Please? (2013) often function as a starting point and major reference for the debate about this complex issue. But while academic or journalistic articles mostly refer to individual films and on the theme in focus, the different context(s) of the medium itself are less reflected upon. Documentary filmmaking is of course always situated in a specific sociopolitical context, and this in turn shapes the way in which the visual medium make us, as non-experts, see and learn. It also forms the basis of our quest for more knowledge and better understanding, that is, in this case of the transnational entanglements in the field of assisted reproductive technologies. In addition to that, like any other medium or media-related practice today, documentary filmmaking is also embedded in profoundly transformed media environments, networks and communicative practices. In order to understand how information and knowledge about split parenthood and gestational surrogacy is mediated to transnational audiences and framed in public discussions, it is thus necessary to shed light on the interconnectedness of different media forms and framings through which the communication around this complex topic has formed. Instead of a close reading of selected documentaries, the article therefore attempts to trace and contextualise the crossmedial and translocal itineraries of three key images and central tropes that have influenced the framing of transnational reproduction and gestational surrogacy in India significantly: (a) the medical authority-cum-media actor (i.e., internationally well-known fertility expert and doctor in charge, Dr Nayana Patel), (b) the surrogacy hostels and dormitories (i.e., the central symbol of constant surveillance and control of surrogates) and (c) the metaphor of ‘rented/hired wombs’ (i.e., the notion of a passive provision of body parts and understanding of gestational surrogacy as active labour).

For the last three decades, women seeking to engage in the political project of muscular (Hindu) nationalism could take either the role of the 'heroic Hindu mother' or of the 'sadhavi (celibate) warrior'. Muscular nationalism as a concept has been taken up by Sikata Banerjee [Banerjee 2003[Banerjee , 2005 However, it seems equally relevant for a contemporary context in which the BJP government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has recently conceptualized a third role which is specifically reserved for young unmarried women: the 'new daughters' of the Indian state.

Recently, academia has discovered Bollywood and made it into a favourite new topic. Generally speaking, this is a very welcome development. Yet how do things stand with regard to research on all the other ‘old’ and ‘new’ media? These have experienced such an extraordinary boom in India in recent years that media development itself can be viewed as a crucial driving force of the new Indian “economic miracle”. An enormous rift reveals itself, when one considers how little has been published hitherto about the country’s press, for example, which continues to flourish in all languages spoken in India, or about the radio, over which the state recently relaxed its control. Also, how sensible is it for media-related research to continue to focus largely on individual media, given today’s increasing media convergence and cross-media communication? And finally, what is the social science stance as regards processes of social change that are closely linked with the accelerated increase of mediated communication, a new field of research which has rapidly gained acceptance within the framework of media and communication studies? These are the three questions addressed in this article.

While TV may still be the dominant medium in India today, and the internet and mobile phone industry are currently growing at a tremendous speed, ‘old’ media such as the press don’t seem to be losing ground as yet. In times of a recurrent debate about the crisis of print media in Europe and the US, the Indian newspaper market still keeps growing and has attracted the interest of multinational corporations. One reason for this is that India is presently one of the largest markets for English-language newspapers and magazines in the world. Notwithstanding the continued growth of the English-language press, it is above all daily newspapers in the major Indian languages which form the motor of this unprecedented press boom. The article shows that in the wake of economic liberalization and the enforcement of the consumption-oriented market economy, the newspaper market in India can be said to be changing from a linguistically ‘split public’, which was characterized by many asymmetries for decades, to an integrated multilingual ‘consumer sphere’. It can thus be argued that in this new consumer sphere, the old existing and imaginary boundaries between ‘English-language’, ‘Indian-language’ or ‘regional newspapers’ are becoming increasingly fuzzy, whereas the new geographies of the ‘regional’ are now very important for the expansion and consolidation of daily newspapers. In order to de-westernize the current debate about the ‘newspaper crisis’, it would thus be important to look at different historical as well as contemporary trajectories of newspaper developments in the framework of changing media configurations in the so-called global South, which may differ significantly from the European or North American context.

In vielen Ländern der Welt haben die Printmedien seit dem Siegeszug der audiovisuellen, elektronischen Medien, allen voran des Fernsehens, einen schweren Stand. Die Anzeigenmärkte sind so stark umkämpft wie nie zuvor und die Aufmerksamkeit des Publikums gilt als rar werdendes Gut. Anders verhält es sich dagegen in Indien, wo zeitgleich zur beginnenden Ausbreitung des Fernsehens Anfang der 1980er Jahre ein Presseboom einsetzte, den Robin Jeffrey als „Zeitungsrevolution“ bezeichnet hat. Damit bezieht er sich in erster Linie auf den beispiellosen Boom der indischsprachigen Presse, denn obwohl die englischsprachige Presse ebenfalls von dieser Entwicklung profitiert - und Indien inzwischen der weltweit größte Markt für englischsprachige Printmedien ist -, ist sie längst von der Hindi-Presse überholt worden. Nadja-Christina Schneider beschreibt die wichtigsten Phasen in der Entwicklung der indischen Presse von ihren Anfängen im 19. Jh. bis zur Unabhängigkeit 1947 und beschreibt darauf aufbauend die signifikanten Veränderungen, die der indische Pressesektor insbesondere in den vergangenen drei Jahrzehnten erfahren hat. Hierfür werden die indische Presse bzw. die dahinter stehenden Unternehmen im Hinblick auf ihre enge Kooperation mit anderen Medien wie dem Fernsehen, Radio und Internet untersucht. Abschließend erfolgt eine Einschätzung ihrer gegenwärtigen Rolle und Bedeutung für das indische Mediensystem.
The Last Adieu (Films Division of India, 2013).When she showed this film at the Dharamshala Film Festival (DIFF) a few years ago, she met an old acquaintance from her childhood there with whom her father was very familiar at the time: Didi Contractor.Deeply touched by this reunion and impressed by the sustainable architecture Didi had been able to realize in the Kangra Valley in the North Indian state of Himachal Pradesh since the 1990s, Shabnam Sukhdev decided
Memory, Housing Architecture and Everyday Life 2 "Houses remember and haunt as they animate the memories of previous inhabitants, memories that become embodied by the houses and the current dwellers.Houses also embody histories of design, reflective or broader social attitudes toward intimate places (Davidson 2009: 332)." Uninhabited: The prefabricated wooden houseFor some time now, mass-produced wooden houses have been receiving increased attention as a possible key to creating affordable housing.Timber is also seen as a sustainable building material of the future, especially in view of climate change.In the U.S., the rise of prefabricated wooden homes as a path to affordable housing dates back to the 19th century and experienced a major boom due to the new possibilities of industrial manufacturing, particularly after World War I and as a result of the Great Depression in 1929.In 1919, the Ford Motor Company produced a nine-minute documentary film titled Home Made -A Story of Ready-made House Building, released by Goldwyn , in which the dream of home ownership in a serially manufactured wooden house was visually staged.Buster Keaton quickly recognized the material for a parody and released his self-produced silent film One Week/ Honeymoon in a Prefabricated House only one year later, in 1920 (22min).In the film, the uncle gifts his nephew (Buster Keaton) a wooden prefabricated house set for his wedding.A jealous rival messes up the numbering on the components, so that the already laborious process of putting them together faces many additional challenges.Friday the 13th turns out to be an unlucky day for the newlyweds, as their warped prefabricated house is barely able to withstand the rising storm and is running full of water.When a notice arrives informing the couple that they have erected their prefabricated house on the wrong side of the railroad tracks, they try to transport it to the other side by car, but the house gets caught on the railroad tracks.A few seconds later, a train coming from the opposite direction thunders through the prefabricated house, ending the young couple's dream of owning their own home after just one week.
convinced that we need "a new spatial contract.In the context of widening political divides and growing economic inequalities", he called on architects to "imagine spaces in which we can generously live together".His statement conveys a belief that beyond their design and urban planning skills architects may have something to contribute to society and have the ability to communicate to very diverse audiences how they imagine these future spaces.What Sarkis is hinting at is thus the role of architects as contributors to larger social and cultural debates.This resonates strongly with a critique put forward by architect, urbanist and educator Rahul Mehrotra from Mumbai who criticizes the marginal role that his profession currently plays in the field of housing in India, as market-driven housing projects are now largely designed and realized without architects and urban designers. 1 Mehrotra argues that market-driven housing completely ignores context which really matters and very often does not include crucial aspects such as climate, lifestyles, access to resources or urban infrastructures such as transport for instance.As a consquence, many critical architects realized the limitations of solving housing problems through the design of buildings alone and began to focus more on redistributing resources and providing better employment opportunities, as well as on extensive research and experimentation in low-cost and low-technology solutions.
Living Together in the Vertical City? 2 Vertical City, Part One "What most annoyed Wilder about life in the apartment building was the way in which an apparently homogeneous collection of academics and high-income freelancers had split into three distinct and hostile camps.The old social divisions based on power, capital and self-interest had reasserted themselves here as everywhere else.In fact, the skyscraper had already divided itself into the three classic social groups -lower, middle and upper class.The shopping mall on the tenth floor formed a clear boundary between the lower nine floors, with their proletariat of film technicians, stewardesses, and the like, and the middle section of the highrise, which stretched from the tenth floor to the swimming pool and restaurant floor on the thirty-fifth.These middle two-thirds of the apartment building constituted its middle class, composed of self-centered but essentially docile members of academic professions -doctors and lawyers, accountants and tax specialists who were not freelancers but worked for medical institutions and large corporations.Puritanical and disciplined as they were, they had the cohesion of those who eagerly settle for second best.Above them, on the top five floors of the high-rise, was the upper class, the discreet oligarchy, made up of smaller captains of industry and entrepreneurs, television actresses and careerist academics, with express elevators, better utilities and carpeted staircases.They set the tone in the building.It was their complaints that were taken care of first, and they subtly ruled life in the high-rise, deciding when children could use the swimming pools and the rooftop play garden, setting the menu in the restaurant and the high prices that kept almost everyone but them out of there.Above all, it was their sophisticated patronage that kept the middle class in line, that constant lure of friendship and recognition (Ballard 2016(Ballard (1975): 73f.)): 73f.).
by İclal Ayşe Küçükkırca, Trinankur Banerjee and Julia Strutz.In her article "Dwelling Together -Thinking the Neighborhood as a Form of Home -Nusaybin, Turkey 2016-2023", İclal Ayşe Küçükkırca gives insights into her ongoing research on the question how people, after the violent destruction and loss of their homes, displacement and resettlement in new buildings, can build on previously established practices of homemaking and recreate the close neighborhood relationships that have also been lost.She shows that the tandooris continue to play a central role as places where bread is baked, but also where social ties are forged and news are exchanged.Trinankur Banerjee sheds light on the film genre of popular Bengali Comedy after the Partition of India in
Rethinking the Role of Architects in India Low-cost housing for the people -as projected by the Films Division of India (FDI) of commercial movie theaters throughout India were required to screen a state-approved documentary film or newsreel before the start of any commercial feature film (Roy 2016: 383). 1 However, the ubiquity of these films, through which Indian audiences learned to 'see' India from the perspective of the post-colonial state, does not necessarily translate into a "meaningful reception of its visual texts," as Roy goes on to point out (ibid.).In addition to the visual practices, however, the sonic dimension should be considered too, since it contributed significantly to the immediate recognition of the Films Division formats by the audience and underlined the perception of what is conveyed as significant and relevant to Indian society.Especially since the (mostly male) voice-of-god narration was a central feature of state-produced newsreels and documentaries, it is perhaps also significant when the seemingly 'objective' and 'all-informed' reporter clearly has a British and no discernible Indian accent, as, for instance, in the case of Sam Berkeley-Hill, one of the most famous and widely heard voice-overs in FD productions in English. 2 The FD's film production was divided into four categories: Art and Culture, Citizenship and Reform, Miscellaneous, and Defense and International.Between 1949-1972, for instance, most films were produced for the Development and Planning category ( 696) and the lowest number (139) for the Art and Culture category.Roy takes these interesting figures from Pramod Pati's Films Division: Catalogue of Films, 1948-1972, which was published by FD in 1974 (Roy 2016: 389).Within the extensive category Development and Planning, most films in Pati's listing between 1949-1972 were devoted to agriculture (137), followed by transportation and communication (105).In contrast, the topic of housing formed the taillight in this period with only 10 films, which is revealing, and perhaps also surprising, with regard to the weighting of the most pressing problems from the state's point of view in the first two decades after Independence.A curated selection of 27 Films Division productions on housing (up to 2015) was presented by Rahul
As a young scholar in urban studies and architecture, M. Sorabjee was at that time based in the United States, but through her articles, website and especially through her award-winning essay she also helped to increase the visibility and interest in the loitering movement beyond India and South Asia. Accordingly, the accelerated sociospatial segmentation and segregation of metropolitan or megacities in India can be traced both in the materiality of the new urban architecture and in the visual representation and imagination of the new “global” or “world-class city,” especially in city- or place-branding campaigns. The aspired inclusion into public everyday life is therefore actually anticipated through the performative practice and theorizing of it. In sum, cities in India just like in other regions of the so-called Global South continue to experience an elite-oriented urban transformation, growing social inequality as well as intersectional immobility/mobility – but simultaneously the articulation of dissent and protest against these ongoing processes.
