Not many people know that the busy and bustling capital city of Delhi and its surroundings have a long past going back thousands of years. Prehistoric stone tools have surfaced here and many ancient remains have been found sometimes accidentally by farmers tilling their fields and at other times by archaeologists carrying out systematic excavations. A mound one passes everyday or a narrow strip of stream tells a story of ancient times. Centuries of history coexist with metro stations and plush cars. The readings in this book give us glimpses of the lives of people who lived over the centuries in the Delhi area and how these details are pieced together by historians. It brings into focus the importance of the historian's method and the sources of information found in ancient texts archaeology and even legends and folklore sometimes hanging on the thread of a slender historical fact. This collection of essays has been put together by a teacher for students of history but will also be of enormous value to a large number of other interested readers. 228 pp.…

Hardbound. Zustand: As New. New. Contents Preface and acknowledgments. Introduction. 1. The Katcheri a living laboratory or enchanted space. 2. Articulating an aesthetic the emergence of the music critic in modern South India. 3. From the Gurukula to the university initiatives in music education. 4. The lighter side of entertainment. 5. On the history of music a bibliographical essay. Glossary. Index. The essays in New Mansions for Music Performance Pedagogy and Criticism look at one of the most ancient and rigorous classical musical traditions of India the Karnatik music system and the kind of changes it underwent once it was relocated from the traditional spaces of temples and salons to the public domain. Nineteenth century Madras led the way in the transformation that Karnatik music underwent as it encountered the forces of modernization and standardization. This study also contributes to our understanding of the experience of modernity in India through the prism of music. The role of Madras city as patron and custodian of the performing arts especially classical music offers an invaluable perspective on the larger processes of modernization in India. As the title suggests the areas of classical music which were most influenced by these developments were pedagogy or modes of musical transmission performance conventions and criticism or music appreciation. Once the urban elite demanded the widening of the teaching of classical music traditional modes of music instruction underwent a major change involving a breakdown of the Gurushishya parampara or the tradition wherein the teacher imparted knowledge to a chosen few. Caste and kinship were important determining factors for the selection of these Shishyas or students but in modern institutions like the universities these boundaries had to be demolished. Simultaneously the public staging of music brought the performer into a new relationship with his audience especially as the art form became subject to validation and criticism by the newly emerging music critic. In an immensely readable book peppered with anecdotes and conversations with leading musicians and critics of the day as well as humorous visual representations part caricature part satire the author describes a rapidly changing society and its new look in early twentieth century Madras. 170 pp. …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Early Anthropologists: Raymond Firth, Audrey Richards, Lucy Mair, Meyer Fortes and Edmund Leach is the first time a collection of interviews is being published as a book. These interviews and talks have been conducted by one of England's leading social anthropologists and historians, Professor Alan Macfarlane. Filmed over a period of 40 years, the five conversations and talks in this volume, are part of Social Science Press's series Creative Lives and Works. These transcriptions also form a part of a larger set of interviews that cut across various disciplines, from the social sciences, the sciences and to the performing and visual arts. The current volume is on five of England's foremost social anthropologists. These conversations and talks are interlaced with rich ethnography and interpretations of distant civilizations and the very real practices that enable these tribal societies and cultures to thrive. There are several teaching moments in these engaging conversations which are further enriched by detailed personal experiences that the interviewees share. Sir Raymond Firth gives us an insight into his Polynesian experience, while Audrey Richards and Lucy Mair recall their days in the African hinterland. Meyer Fortes's account of his tribal study, yet again in the African subcontinent, is mesmeric, while Sir Edmund Leach's Southeast Asian encounters are just as enthralling. Immensely riveting as conversations, this collection gives one a flavour of how tribal societies live and work. The book will be of enormous value not just to those interested in learning about tribal societies and cultures, and those interested in History, Culture Studies, but also to those curious to gather knowledge about other cultures.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Economic development is not merely economic growth and prosperity, but it includes a multitude of goals. This book analyses the expanding concept of economic development as it evolved over time, encompassing multidimensional human wellbeing extending well beyond material prosperity. The book adopts the generic framework of Stiglitz et al. (2009), where economic development is viewed as achievements across eight dimensions - material prosperity, education, health, economic security, personal security, environmental conditions, political voice and social connections. The authors implement this concept to design a robust measure of development for comparing Indian states. The authors also define three sub-measures - human development, security and voice and confidence - broadly representing three distinct aspects of development. The results clearly show that state level performances vary considerably across various dimensions of development. No state does uniformly well or badly across all levels, thereby exposing the fallacy of branding the development experience of a particular state as ideal based on its achievement on some aspects of development. Since good performance in one dimension does not ensure doing well in other dimensions too, it would be inappropriate to look only at the overall measure of development, ignoring the achievements in the three sub-measures and the eight dimensions. Recognition of such diversity of performance is particularly important in a federal structure, like India, where different states may have different development priorities. This book will enable states to reflect on whether they have been performing according to their priorities and if not, they may choose to their policies or their development strategies.…
