Abstract:

This chapter by Nadeem Farooq Paracha brings oral history and memoir to the fore. Paracha interweaves national, social and personal histories in an extraordinary analysis of how alcohol, its sale and consumption, became intrinsic to Karachi’s leftist political culture in the euphoria of the post-Zia years; how political rebellion involving alcohol fueled violence on Karachi’s student campuses; and shaped Paracha’s personal nemesis and life trajectory into journalism rather than militancy. The adage that the ‘personal is political’ acquires enriched meaning in these unfoldings of a simultaneously painful, exhilarating, and destructive era that shaped one radical element of the city’s political commentariat. The politics surrounding alcohol from 1970-90 offer a perfect lens, Paracha shows us, onto transformations of religion, morality, and revolution within student support for the Pakistan People’s Party in a saturnalian urban setting.

Abstract:

Why do people participate in controversial symbolic events that drive wedges between groups and occasionally spark violence? This book examines this question through an in-depth case study of Northern Ireland. Protestant organizations perform over 2,500 parades across Northern Ireland each year. Protestants tend to see the parades as festive occasions that celebrate Protestant history and culture. Catholics, however, tend to see them as hateful, intimidating, and triumphalist. As a result, parades have been a major source of conflict in the years since the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. This book examines why, given the often negative consequences, people choose to participate in these parades. Drawing on theories from the study of contentious politics and the study of ritual, the book argues that paraders are more interested in the benefits intrinsic to participation in a communal ritual than the external consequences of their action. The book presents analysis of original quantitative and qualitative data to support this argument and to test it against prominent alternative explanations. Interview, survey, and ethnographic data are also used to explore issues central to parade participation, including identity expression, commemoration, tradition, the pleasures of participation, and communicating a message to outside audiences. The book additionally examines a paradox at the center of parading: while most observers see parades as political events, the participants do not. Altogether, the book offers a new perspective on politics and culture in the aftermath of ethnic violence.

Abstract:

En este documento los autores plantean nudos y explicaciones en reflexiones ensayísticas. Tras ellas se alude a la multiplicidad de personas y circunstancias que recorren los parajes de nuestro tiempo, portadores de sentidos que flotan en la profundidad e intensidad de la cultura. Escenarios donde México es explorado con la sutil y penetrante mirada del conocimiento (y con cierto énfasis en la cultura tabasqueña). Se recorren los rincones sociales y numerosos horizontes que se abren a las dilucidaciones de los investigadores. Desde ahí se construyen explicaciones que describen, analizan, valoran, representan, abstraen y se posesionan en la densidad de saberes que les ofrecen los sujetos y objetos de estudio. Esta obra se articula en tres enclaves fundamentales: lenguaje, educación y cultura. Una tríada de ejes sobre los que se organizan y ofrecen perspectivas nodales para entender el mundo socio-cultural.

Abstract:

After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the surrounding region in 2005, the city debated whether to press on with Mardi Gras or cancel the parades. Ultimately, they decided to proceed. New Orleans’s recovery certainly has resulted from a complex of factors, but the city’s unique cultural life—perhaps its greatest capital—has been instrumental in bringing the city back from the brink of extinction. Voicing a civic fervor, local writer Chris Rose spoke for the importance of Carnival when he argued to carry on with the celebration of Mardi Gras following Katrina: “We are still New Orleans. We are the soul of America. We embody the triumph of the human spirit. Hell. We ARE Mardi Gras”. Since 2006, a number of new Mardi Gras practices have gained prominence. The new parade organizations or krewes, as they are called, interpret and revise the city’s Carnival traditions but bring innovative practices to Mardi Gras. The history of each parade reveals the convergence of race, class, age, and gender dynamics in these new Carnival organizations. Downtown Mardi Gras: New Carnival Practices in Post-Katrina New Orleans examines six unique, offbeat, Downtown celebrations. Using ethnography, folklore, cultural, and performance studies, the authors analyze new Mardi Gras’s connection to traditional Mardi Gras. The narrative of each krewe’s development is fascinating and unique, illustrating participants’ shared desire to contribute to New Orleans’s rich and vibrant culture.

Abstract:

This book approaches Ulster Protestantism through its theatrical and cultural intersection with politics, re-establishing a forgotten history and engaging with contemporary debates. Anchored by the perspectives of ten writers–some of whom have been notably active in political life—it uniquely examines tensions going on within. Through its exploration of class division and drama from the early twentieth century to the present, the book restores the progressive and Labour credentials of the community’s recent past along with its literary repercussions, both of which appear in recent decades to have diminished. Drawing on over sixty interviews, unpublished scripts, as well as rarely-consulted archival material, we can see—contrary to a good deal of clichéd polemic and safe scholarly assessment—that Ulster Protestants have historically and continually demonstrated a vigorous creative pulse as well as a tendency towards Left wing and class politics. St John Ervine, Thomas Carnduff, John Hewitt, Sam Thompson, Stewart Parker, Graham Reid, Ron Hutchinson, Marie Jones, Christina Reid, and Gary Mitchell profoundly challenge as well as reflect their communities. Illuminating a diverse and conflicted culture stretching beyond Orange Order parades, the weaving together of the lives and work of each of the writers considered highlights mutual themes and insights on the identity, as if part of some grander tapestry of alternative twentieth century Protestant culture. Ulster Protestantism’s consistent delivery of such dissenting voices counters its monolithic and reactionary reputation.

Abstract:

This chapter examines how New Orleanians in the post-Katrina era have drawn upon African American–rooted parade traditions, especially the practice of second lining, to respond to what some have called the biopolitical order in New Orleans, particularly those aspects of it related to state and criminal violence. Some parades have been organized by long-established social aid and pleasure clubs and other traditional African American networks; some are the product of emergent cultural and political formations. Such acts may be viewed as improvised responses to a biopolitical order that is itself both scripted and improvisational. Although the cultural politics of such acts are often contradictory, this essay contends that they often open up important political space for collaboration and reflection on key social justice issues that are defining New Orleans in the post-Katrina era.

Abstract:

En el mes de marzo del 2020 comenzó una nueva etapa en nuestra vida personal, familiar, comunitaria y mundial. Fue una parada en seco de la cual, en el transcurrir de los meses, a pasos y tropiezos, pudimos liberarnos para comenzar de nuevo a caminar. Este recomienzo ha implicado retomar nuestras vidas con mayor conciencia, valorando y agradeciendo que aquí seguimos vivos —y que ello es un regalo, un verdadero privilegio— pero que ahora hemos de caminar con pasos más firmes, perdiéndole el miedo a las adversidades que siempre encontraremos en los caminos de la vida. En este largo tiempo de contingencia hemos experimentado vivencias personales muy significativas, que han cambiado o reforzado nuestro estilo de vida, nuestros pensamientos y quizás incluso nuestros más profundos valores. Lo indudable es que dentro de estos cambios y permanencias nos hemos sentido vulnerables ante un virus que ha provocado tanta muerte. Entre los aprendizajes derivados de la pandemia, me parece muy valioso que hayamos incorporado a nuestros hábitos y costumbres protocolos de cuidado, no solo por el bien de nosotros mismos, sino igualmente por el de los demás. Asimismo, me parece la increíble manera en la cual hemos aprendido que la vida es cambio y que es necesario adaptarnos siempre en coherencia con lo que consideramos fundamental: la familia, la paz, la concordia, el cuidado de la mente, las emociones y del cuerpo. Hemos padecido pérdidas, sí, y ello es doloroso, mas podemos vivirlas como un reto para centrarnos en vivir con mayor armonía dentro de lo que está en nuestras manos. Por su idea de hacer una pausa a fin de plasmar la memoria individual y los aprendizajes comunitarios, por su perseverancia en acompañar a personas de distintas edades y vivencias diversas para dejar plasmadas las experiencias y que no se olviden los aprendizajes, por su visión y trabajo al realizar este libro, por todo ello agradezco a la historiadora Paulina Latapí. Aprovecho para agradecerle también el nutrir ese rincón cultural que es Café, Té y Cultura, con variedad de temas, y por dar siempre lo mejor para toda la comunidad. El Regency Club te agradece profundamente lo que has abonado a que nuestro andar sea un aporte por un mundo mejor.

Abstract:

This book enlists some controversies that understanding, writing about and publishing on violence in Karachi entails. It brings into conversation some prominent academics—including anthropologists and political scientists—journalists, writers and activists. This diverse coalition provokes shifts away from recursive academic and media scripts of the city toward a different “counter-public” of cultural and political commentary, as the contributors critically unpack the constitutive relation of violence to personal experience and also seek to create new understandings that are tentatively shared. The approach to counterpublicking is organized around three overlapping schema. These are: social science and ethnography; epochal or historical transformation; and oral history and personal memoir. Drilling down into Karachi’s city neighborhoods, the chapters examine ways violence is textured locally and citywide into protest drinking, social and religious movements, class and cosmopolitanism, gang wars, the fractured lives of militants, press censorship and the effects on journalists, uncertain continuua between state political and individual madness, and ways the painful shattering of some worlds produces dreams of others. While the individual chapters each provide fresh insights, the collective ethics of rewriting, rethinking or cajoling Karachi’s landscape into other forms is more dynamic and unclear, and one being worked out in public. Chapters are by Nadeem F. Paracha, Laurent Gayer, Zia Ur Rehman, Nida Kirmani, Nichola Khan, Oskar Verkaaik, Arif Hasan, Razeshta Sethna, Asif Farrukhi, Kausar S. Khan, Farzana Shaikh, and Kamran Asdar Ali. Collectively, they comprise a singular and important contribution for all those spirited to understand what went wrong with Karachi.

Abstract:

The Politics of Princely Entertainment explores transformations in the politics of entertainment of the Italian aristocratic classes during the second half of the seventeenth century, a time when profound social and cultural shifts influenced the production and consumption of music. The emergence of commercial theaters in the 1630s in Venice and the great appeal that opera began to have for a large and international audience required the aristocracy to take on a new role within the complex network of agents responsible for the production not only of opera but of music in general. The increasing competition between commercial opera theaters, ruling courts, aristocratic families, and religious institutions, and the consequent professionalization of roles that previously had relied solely on patronage meant that singers, poets, and composers acquired unprecedented negotiating power. These questions are explored following the journeys and ventures of two of the most prominent patrons in seventeenth-century Italy, Prince Lorenzo Onofrio Colonna and his wife Maria Mancini. During the thirty years under examination here, 1659–1689, the Colonna were the most influential and active agents in Roman musical life: they sponsored an unprecedented number of operas, serenatas, oratorios, public ceremonies, and carnival parades while supporting the careers of the most prominent composers, librettists, musicians, and singers of the time. Following the Prince and his wife through their travels to Venice, Spain (as Viceroys of the Kingdom of Aragon), and later Naples, this book traces the journeys not only of scores and librettos, but also of the singers, composers, and librettists whose art reached these faraway corners of Europe, serving diverse social and political purposes.
