Resumen

This thesis is a Tamil to English translation of Tirukkaḷirruppaṭiyar (TKP), composed by Uyyavanta Tevanayanar toward the end of the twelfth century C.E. The work contains one hundred quatrains of Tamil poetry composed in veṇpa meter. It is a poetic expansion of Tiruvuntiyar (TU), an earlier composition likely by the author's teacher's teacher. The TKP is a transitional text between the devotional religious bhakti(patti -Tamil) hymns of the nayanmar, who lived between the sixth century and the twelfth, and the Saiva-Siddhanta (Caiva Cittantam-Tamil) Theo-philosophical system, which developed between the thirteenth and the fourteenth centuries. TKP is the second work in the canon of fourteen texts called the Meykaṇṭa Sastra (Meykaṇṭa Cattiraṅkaḷ -Tamil), TU being the first. The introduction in the thesis discusses the date of the author, his position in the lineage of teachers, major themes found in the work such as the importance of a teacher, types of worship, miracles of the Saiva saints and final release from the cycle of births and deaths. TKP's similarities and differences with the TU, and how the TKP provides a foundation for later Saiva Siddhanta thought are addressed. Besides translation, each verse has a gloss and there are several appendices, tables and charts with additional information.

Resumen

This thesis examines masculinity in the Sri Lankan Tamil diaspora through two ritual practices, kavat&dotbelow;i and viratam. I argue that these practices are expressions of masculine identity and articulations of anxiety rooted in the refugee experience. Kavat&dotbelow;i, a ritual piercing and ecstatic dance, and viratam, a rigorous fast, reconstruct masculinities fragmented by expatriation and the ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka. Through ritual performance, men fashion themselves as the selfless heroes of traditional Tamil literature without negating their fluency as modern Tamil-Canadians. By voicing rupture and enacting reprieve, the men who perform these rites incur individual catharsis. New non-Brahmin masculine identities that draw their authority from renunciation and asceticism as opposed to social privilege emerge in this diasporic context. Employing analyses of literature, political propaganda, and ethnography this thesis demonstrates the powerful relationship between ritual performance and masculine identity. In kavat&dotbelow;i and viratam, the male body becomes the site of contested personal, political, and religious narratives.

Resumen

In Sri Lanka, the Tamils' demand for a federal state has turned within a quarter of a century into a demand for the independent state of Eelam. Forces of secession set in motion by emerging Sinhala-Buddhist chauvinism and the resultant Tamil nationalism gathered momentum during the 1970s and 1980s which threatened the political integration of the island. Today Indian intervention has temporarily arrested the process of disintegration. But post-October 1987 developments illustrate that the secessionist war is far from over and secession still remains a real possibility. This thesis focuses on the phenomenon of Tamil armed secessionism. To better understand the forces responsible for the armed secessionist insurrection, this, thesis analyzes the preconditions leading to the violent conflict between the minority Tamils and the majority Sinhalese in Sri Lanka. The consistent failure of the political system to accommodate the basic Tamil demands has contributed to the emergence of Tamil armed secessionism. Further, diverse factors have given impetus to the growth of Tamil secessionist movements. However, the three main political actors in the secessionist struggle — the Sri Lankan government, the Indian central government together with the state government of Tamil Nadu and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam — have had a major impact on the vicissitudes of the Tamil secessionist insurrection.

Resumen

I examine the concept of "culture" being promoted in the Canadian policy of multiculturalism and by Tamil refugees safeguarding their culture in Quebec. I take culture in its relation to power as my focus. I explore what culture means to the Tamils, and how the Canadian ideology of multiculturalism is implicated in the way Tamil "culture keepers" (re)construct their cultural identity.
This research addresses popular "multiculturalism" movements which use anthropological notions of culture but fail to problematize the notion of culture itself. I illustrate how and why the concept of culture is itself culturally embedded and historically shaped, and thus dense with political implications.
It also addresses anthropological approaches which avoid realist ethnography because of its political implications. I argue that a focus on culture in its relation to power is necessary in order to examine anthropology's own continuing involvement in imperialism.

Resumen

The purpose of this dissertation is to establish the extent to which women's membership in self-help groups and their involvement in various activities of these groups, with particular reference to Micro Credit programs, impacted their socio-economic empowerment. The objective is to study the socio-economic empowerment impact factors (evidences) in women members of micro-credit self-help groups in rural India upon the self, the family and the community.
Data selected for analyses was based on an operational model of empowerment that encompassed indicators of purported empowerment at the personal, family and community levels. The working hypotheses in quantitative analyses are that there are significant differences in income, savings, assets, expenditure, basic amenities, as well as attitudinal and behavioral changes in the rural women before and after their group membership.
The qualitative interviews helped to assess the life conditions of the women as the process of empowerment before and after their participation in self-help group micro-credit program. The qualitative interviews were to corroborate the veracity of reported progress from the survey to shed some light on the specific factors that contributed to their empowerment in line with their present quality of life at personal, family and community levels. Hence, the impact of the program is measured as the difference in the magnitude of a given parameter between the pre-and post-SHG situations by comparing the life condition of members before joining the self-help group to their condition three years after joining.

Resumen

India is a country with progressing technical and economical development, but the development is not evenly distributed. Farmers in the Indian rural areas are struggling. There are worries that climate changes could have a negative impact on agriculture. This study was performed in Kancheepuram with support from the non-governmental organization Hand in Hand. The aims of this study were to analyze effects on agriculture due to watershed management in a village and to describe the crop patterns in a village and compare the yield with a village without watershed management. Data was collected by interviewing farmers in the villages Arapedu and Tenpakkam. In Arapedu watershed management was applied and in Tenpakkam it was not. Data collected by Hand in Hand on precipitation, village records, well inventory and maps were analyzed. The water level in the wells increased in most wells between 2007 and 2008, but due to short data series it was not possible to affirm if this was due to the watershed management or increased rainfall in the early months of 2008 compared to 2007. No evidence of change in precipitation in the area was observed. Only precipitation data was analyzed since other climate data was absent. Hand in Hand was working within a broad spectrum in the village. Apart from the watershed project they are working with empowerment of women´s situation, self-help groups, microfinance and against child labor. This study period was too short to confirm effects of watershed management. However this study can be used as a baseline study for future evaluations. Key words: Rainwater harvesting, watershed management, Tamil Nadu

Resumen

Women's status in Indian agrarian communities has been discussed in terms of cultural and agricultural practices, which affect women adversely in the northwestern wheat region and favourably in the southern rice region. The correlation is tested by the female farm labour participation (FLP) rate and the juvenile sex ratio (JSR).
I examine the correlation between women's contribution to agriculture and their status in wet paddy and dry millet regions in Tamil Nadu. Compared to northwestern India, the JSRs are more balanced and FLPs are high in both regions, yet the implications of high FLPs differ. Thanjavur shows a high female labour participation in peak seasons, but year-round underemployment. In Kongu, the cultivation of garden crops requires both male and female labour throughout the year.
The contrasts originate from varied factors such as ecology and irrigation, cropping system, the distribution of land wealth, and on- and off-farm employment opportunities.

Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2006.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 22).
In the wake of the recent tsunami that swept across Asia, there is a dire need to salvage and rebuild the lives and livelihoods that were swept away. The aim of this thesis project is to design and model a transitional shelter for the Indian region of Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu is located on the southern coast of India, and was the region most affected by the recent tsunami. The transitional shelter should be a shelter that serves as an infrastructure that can be absorbed into a more permanent structure with the flexibility to promote future expansion. The design of the structure takes into consideration climactic concerns such as ventilation or seismic issues, and tries to suggest cultural continuity between the new architecture and previous architectures.

Resumen

Early years provision, which combines childcare and preschool education, has been considered vital for child development by theorists and practitioners. Within early years provision pedagogy is assumed to be both an enabling and constraining factor which can shape a particular experience of childhood and, possibly, prepare children for a particular adulthood. This thesis explores pedagogical processes and practices vis-à-vis children’s experiences in three different pedagogical contexts: a corporation nursery, a private nursery and an ICDS (Integrated Child Development Services) Anganwadi centre in Chennai in Tamil Nadu (India). It explores the findings of a one year ethnographic study that involved observation/informal conversation with children and semi-structured interviews with teachers, care worker(s) and parents. The ethnographic study used methodological approaches from childhood research, adopted ethical positions from childhood studies and valued children as competent individuals that should be treated with respect throughout the research processes. The analysis of the empirical data uses the intersections of three concepts in the works of Foucault (subject), Butler (identity), Bourdieu (cultural capital) to illuminate and analyse the pedagogical processes and practices. The thesis characterises the different pedagogical contexts encountered in the study as: ‘activity centred’, ‘task centred’, and ‘care centred’. It explains that this context emerged in an on-going active process of negotiation, deliberation, reflection through ‘subjection’ and ‘resistance’. It demonstrates that children construct their embodied self-identity through everyday pedagogical/curriculum performativity and the teacher-children identities work within as well as outside pedagogical contexts. The empirical analysis identifies shame and distinction as key factors for pedagogical/curriculum performativity and argues that the embodied identities of children are fluid and contextual and that they are formed through the interaction of learning materials, academic ability/mastery, and bodily differences in the pedagogical contexts. It is argued that children employ cultural capital when (re)establishing home-nursery connections in different pedagogical contexts and that parents similarly use their cultural capital with a sense of ‘practical logic’ for decision making on matters related to early years provision, e.g. when recognising the transformative potential of children. The thesis findings suggest that there is an element of fluidity in pedagogical contexts and that the local cultural practices of teachers/care worker are reflectively integrated with minority world ideas when normative pedagogies are constructed. The thesis contributes to the development of childhood theory, by demonstrating that childhood is a complex phenomenon. At the policy level, the thesis makes recommendations for practitioners and administrators on how they can value local cultural knowledge, acknowledge reflexive practices of teachers/care workers, and equity issues in early years provision.

Resumen

This paper explores the nature of emerging adulthood in Southern India. Survey data was collected from 450 college students in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India and 100 non-students from rural villages surrounding Coimbatore. Unlike American samples, the majority of the 18- to 26-year-olds studied felt that they had achieved adulthood. The sample emphasized attributes needed to fulfill family roles as characteristics necessary for adulthood. Differences in optimism levels were found between students and non-students. Arnett suggests that emerging adulthood would be affected by cultural influences. The unique cultural and structural influences in India such as, Hinduism, caste, gendered socialization, and the educational system, are discussed as possible explanations for the unique findings.

Resumen

This dissertation examines the divergent trajectories of ethnic and national politics in the Tamil speaking regions of India and Sri Lanka. Despite comparable historical experiences and conditions, the south Indian Tamil speaking areas were peaceably accommodated within a pan-Indian framework whilst Sri Lankan politics was marked by escalating Tamil-Sinhala ethnic polarisation and violent conflict. The dissertation explains these contrasting outcomes by setting out a novel theoretical framework that draws on the work of Reinhart Koselleck and his analysis of the links between concepts and political conflict. It argues that in the era of popular sovereignty the nation and ethnicity have become central and unavoidable concepts of political order, but concepts that can be deliberately constructed through political activity in more or less inclusive ways. Setting out the conceptual connections between the nation, ethnicity and popular sovereignty, the dissertation shows how the conceptual tension between a unified national identity / interest and ethnic pluralism becomes a central and unavoidable locus of political contestation in the era of popular sovereignty. Tracing the politics of ethnicity and nationalism in India and Sri Lanka from the late nineteenth century to the late 1970’s, the analysis shows that the accommodation of Tamil identity within Indian nationalist frameworks and the escalation of Tamil – Sinhala ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka cannot be linked to differences in ethnic demography, political system, historical experiences or the structure of economic incentives. It reveals instead that these divergent outcomes are best explained as effects of contingent and competitive processes of political organisation and mobilisation through which deliberately more or less ethnically inclusive national identities are asserted, established and then contested.

Resumen

This thesis is about Christian children's perspectives on religion in Tamil Nadu, India. More specifically the thesis seeks to explore how children view religion and how they seek knowledge about religion in their daily lives, examine what role religion plays in their everyday lives and examine how children's perspectives on religion influence their social practices. Various theories and concepts are used to analyze children's perspectives on religion. A broadened conception of the sociology of religion together with a broadening up of the conception of sociology of childhood has given this study an advantage to shed a new light on children and religion. A mosaic research approach involving multiple, qualitative methods of data collection have been used. The combination between several different participatory tools (see appendices) and the more traditional methodology of interviewing and observations provided me with a wellgrounded understanding of – and factual insights into – children's perspectives on religion. It has often been proved challenging for children to grasp what religion is. However, this study has found out that children's perspectives on religion were rather straightforward and related to something personal and everyday life experiences. Children in this research had their own personal experiences on religion and highly, idiosyncratic ways of thinking. Religion is constantly encountered in all the arenas of Christian children's lives in Tamil Nadu. This study has found that religion plays a major role in helping children actively negotiate their own religious lives in the overlapping spaces between children's and adults’ worlds; spaces of play, school and friendships. It was found out that children's perspectives on religion influence their social practices, and their social practices influence their perspectives on religion. Furthermore, the findings of this thesis reveal that viewing children either as human beings or human-becomings should be brought to the level of hybridism. From this study's theoretical examinations and empirical findings on both the social and religious aspects of children's lives, the artificial analytical 'being-becoming dichotomy' is both non-existent and fluid. Children are both human beings and social agents in their own right; and human-becomings in search of maturation seeking for changes and transformations in their social, spiritual/religious lives.

Resumen

The thesis consists of two parts. The first part focuses on the nature and dynamics of labour relations in two neighbouring textile towns of Tamilnadu (South India), Bhavani and Kumarapalayam. In Bhavani, handloom carpets are still woven, while in Kumarapalayam handlooms have been replaced by power-loom production since the 1950s. An ethnography of the workplace is provided, and the different work regimes and work rhythms within these industries are described, as well as the structure of authority, and the workplace as a social environment where friendships are forged and conflicts rooted. Particular attention is paid to the marked contrast between the labour militancy of the handloom weavers in Bhavani and the lack of labour organisation among the power-loom workers of Kumarapalayam. The handloom weavers have been firmly organised in a Weavers' Union and developed a class consciousness based on a weavers' identity, which transcends solidarities of caste. In the power-loom industry, on the other hand, workers' resistance appears much more individualised and indirect. Here, labour relations are to a considerable extent shaped by the employers' practice of giving advances to the workers they employ. It forms a crucial part of their recruitment strategy, profoundly affects their relations with labour, and gives rise to new problems of labour control and discipline. In the second part of the thesis the study of the workplace and labour relations is related to an examination of the role of caste, kinship and 'community' in the formation of labour relations and the development of industries. The pioneering role of particular caste groups is investigated and it is indicated how various communities deployed their own strategies of development ('business cultures') to move ahead in a competitive environment. Attention is drawn to the interrelationship between the domestic sphere and the workplace. The effect of waged job opportunities on the formation of workers' households, women's duties in the household in relation to their opportunities in the labour market, and the impact of friendships and love in the workplace on marital stability are explored. Finally, a sociopolitical analysis of local temple organisation and the annual goddess festival seeks to understand how the entire town is integrated into a single 'community' and how boundaries of caste and class are transcended under the patronage of the local 'big men' or wealthy industrialists. Their role as patrons and benefactors of the local 'community' is directly related to their constant search to control and discipline labour within the industries.

Resumen

The irrigation tanks in Tamil Nadu are part of an irrigation system which has developedover centuries, they are man-made reservoirs of varying sizes and they are important sources ofirrigation water but also provide services such as flood control, silt capture, and ground waterrecharge. The tanks are now deteriorating, they are used less than before and their capacity islower because of poor maintenance. Other studies have found many possible explanations to thedeterioration of tanks, for example overuse of water, not enough de-silting of the tanks, orincreasing population pressure. The purpose of this study is to investigate how stakeholdersperceive the situation and the issues with the irrigation system, and to assess and compare howefficient the management of a state-owned tank and a private-owned tank is. Two cases ofirrigation tanks in southern Tamil Nadu were part of the study and interviews were conductedwith both farmers using the irrigation water in the tanks and with people who are involved in themanagement of the tanks. The study shows that the stakeholders perceive that there has been areduction in the water availability and that there are problems with poor or inadequatemaintenance, especially de-silting and maintenance of sluices in the tanks. The stakeholdersinterviewed also perceived funding of the management to be an issue. The study also showedthat overall the management of the tanks was not functioning well, although in the privateownedtank a local user organization was involved and the management of that tank seemed tofunction somewhat better than in the other tank because of it. Furthermore, in both irrigationtanks there were groups which seemed to have unequal influence over the tank‟s management,and the engagement in management among tank users was low.

Resumen

This thesis explores the potential for historic preservation of a site celebrated in ancient Hindu scriptures and legends. The site is located in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India and is called Arunachala in Sanskrit, or Annamalai in Tamil. The Hill of Fire, the Red Hill, the Hill of Wisdom; the name has many meanings and throughout history has reflected important spiritual and cultural ideas. The symbolic connection of the Hill to the temple at its base celebrates the marriage of heaven and earth and is unusual in the history of Indian temple construction. In considering the site for preservation, this connection may have been overlooked. The site makes an important contribution to the cultural resources of the region and should be preserved in a sensitive way. The objective of this thesis is to test the site against best available preservation standards and guidelines, and to demonstrate that the site is an important cultural resource that merits preservation. The thesis explores the connection of the temple architecture to the landscape architectural elements around the site and proposes preservation treatment recommendations.

Resumen

Cervical cancer is the single most common cancer in India, affecting an estimated 134,420 women in 2008. With access to early detection and basic treatments, most cases of cervical cancer are preventable. Moreover, if treatment is administered during the earliest stages of cervical cancer, 5-year survival rates can be increased to higher than 90 percent. Unfortunately, despite the availability of methods for prevention, more than 95 percent of women in India have never been screened for cervical cancer. Consequently, women in India are most often diagnosed during later stages of cervical cancer, significantly reducing survival prognosis. The objective of this study was to explore the role of awareness and knowledge of cervical cancer as a barrier to screening participation among urban women in Tamil Nadu; and further to identify the potential impact of increased cervical cancer awareness and knowledge on screening attitude. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to characterize existing levels of awareness and knowledge of cervical cancer and screening among 207 women from the metropolitan area of Chennai. The results suggest that the majority of women (69.6%) were not aware of cervical cancer and very few (16.4%) were aware of screening. Demographically, women with secondary levels of education or higher were significantly more likely to have heard of cervical cancer and screening. Of the women that were aware of cervical cancer screening, most reported receiving information through television (33%) or a healthcare provider (28.6%). To describe the potential benefit of providing women with basic information about the secondary prevention of cervical cancer, levels of knowledge, measured before and after an educational session, were compared. This study further explored changes in associations between awareness, knowledge, perceived susceptibility, and screening attitude. It was observed that an overwhelming majority of women were receptive to participating in free cervical cancer screening, independent of previous knowledge of cervical cancer. Results also suggest that although lack of awareness appears to be a major barrier to participation in cervical cancer screening, providing women with information about cervical cancer has the potential to change the attitude of a significant proportion (58.3%) of women who were previously unreceptive to screening. Further, perceived susceptibility to cervical cancer appeared to be strongly associated with a positive screening attitude before and after receiving information. Finally, we examined and compared the socio-demographic characteristics of three subgroups of women: those who were receptive to screening without information, those who were receptive to screening after receiving information, and those who were not receptive to screening at either point. We found that younger, more educated women were receptive to screening without information. In addition, previously unscreened women who were less educated and illiterate in Tamil were most likely to acquire a positive attitude toward screening after receiving information. It also appeared that women who were most likely to be unreceptive to cost-free cervical cancer screening were more likely to be older and previously screened. These findings from our exploratory research with insights from additional comments made by several participants who were unreceptive to cost-free screening suggest that perceptions of free versus private healthcare may have influenced responses in this study.

Resumen

Since the 1960s, international aid organizations and governments have invested millions of dollars in promoting aquaculture as a way to stimulate local economies and improve food security. India is one such country, incorporating aquaculture research and extension programs as part of their development plans as early as 1971. India’s aquaculture promotion efforts gained momentum in 2004, following the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004. The government sees aquaculture as a post-disaster development tool and a method to increase community resilience in rural areas of India. Aquaculture currently constitutes nearly half of global seafood production today. Due to this importance, and the attention such practices receive through funding and extension, many scholars have focused on the social impacts that aquaculture practices have on rural communities. In particular, scholars have investigated the effects of aquaculture on environmental conditions, food security, livelihoods, gender relations, and social conflict. However, more scholarship is needed concerning the historical legacies that have contributed to how aquaculture is promoted and practiced, particularly connections to the Green Revolution. Furthermore, there needs to be more research about commercial aquaculture as a post-disaster development strategy. My research – based on 9 months of ethnographic fieldwork and archival analysis in Tamil Nadu, India – contributes to this body of literature. I synthesized post-development theory with that of environmental risk and vulnerability, building upon the work of scholars such as James Ferguson, Tania Li, and Piers Blaikie. My analysis uncovers large disparities between the goals of aquaculture development programs and actual aquaculture outcomes. I attribute this to the technocratic governance structure of the aquaculture industry, which leads to a lack of engagement and participation between aquaculture managers, researchers, and practitioners. This lack of engagement ultimately makes the communities in which aquaculture is being practiced more vulnerable to anthropogenic and natural disturbances. Additionally, I found that aquaculture practices in the study site are causing significant changes to local agrarian structures, particularly through changes to labor. These changes have implications for social stratification and disempowerment of women. Overall, these findings contribute to the anthropological study of aquaculture as well as to theories of post-development.

Resumen

Developing the idea of an ‘object biography’, as defined by Kopytoff (1986), this thesis challenges a fixed, static concept of antiquities and their present meanings by focusing on the routes they travel through space and time as they circulate through the hands of unauthorised finders, dealers and collectors. The research has been carried out in India, focusing on the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. As a non-Western country with a period of colonial history, India is an ideal location to explore not just the diversity and mutability of these meanings but also the tensions between authorized and divergent viewpoints regarding the value and management of the past. My methodology has drawn on theoretical models from the social sciences that approach the production of meaning in and through material culture as an organic and on-going process of human-object relations. Through a process of qualitative surveying using purposive sampling and semi-structured interviews, two distinct object case studies have been devised and investigated: the circulation of structural and household antiques from the 19th and 20th century houses of the Nagarathar Chettiars, and the excavation of coins, beads, jewellery and figurines in the riverbeds of Tamil Nadu and their subsequent sale, collection and circulation. In the course of fieldwork I have recorded over 55 hours of interactions with 107 respondents in locations across Tamil Nadu, as well as Bangalore, Mumbai, Jodhpur and London. I have supported this data with photographs, fieldnotes, and internet sources. In my analysis of this data I have argued that many people in Tamil Nadu and South India feel a sense of distance and alienation from the world of ‘heritage’ as defined and managed by the government, while at the same time people are engaged in their own processes of meaning-making through the old objects they engage with and circulate on a daily basis. The objects studied in this thesis are not seen as pertaining to the ‘sleeping’ realm of antiquities and authorized heritage, but to the ‘waking’ realm of active circulation, use and transformation. Furthermore, in the variety of ways that people engage with and transform these objects we can see the negotiation of relationships with the past and identities in the present at a time of rapid social and economic change in India.

Texto completo

Resumen

'The un/selfish' leader explores notions of selfishness, as they were perceived by people in the village of Ekkaraiyur, Tamil Nadu, India, at a time they associated with thorough changes in their lives.

Discussing locally held notions about agrarian change, seen as causing the erosion of earlier village loyalties and leading to the emergence of a new type of leaders, the study focus on the censure of the alleged corruption of these leaders. Expressed in a rich repertoire of stories about the ideals of leadership and about the excellence of the past and foreign societies, the censure was routinely voiced in public debates and in everyday conversations.

Set against a background an increasing role of the state for the people in Ekkaraiyur, the censure of leaders implied a critique of the contemporary society they were taken to represent. Moreover, the study argues that the critique was grounded in evaluations of individualism and selfishness in human nature.

The study is based on fieldwork carried out in Ekkaraiyur between 1988 and 1990

Resumen

This thesis deals with the cultural and political underpinnings of female infanticide and sex selective abortion in contemporary South India. Based on a fifteen months' ethnographic fieldwork in western parts of Salem district in Tamil Nadu, I explore the ideas and practices around deaths of (un)born children - particularly in the context of issues of gender-selective child survival, use and control over new reproductive technologies for sex selection, fertility and reproduction. Elucidating further the ethnographic contexts of state and non-state (primarily NGO) interventions in these deaths, the thesis examines the new forms of governance on issues that affect contemporary Tamil women. I discuss three different discourses by the government, by NGOs, and by the communities on the meaning and context of these deaths including the ways in which these meanings and ideas are reconceptualised and re-configured into a changing social and cultural context of birth. My thesis, therefore, contributes to the anthropology of reproduction. The underlying questions of the thesis are: Why has female infanticide, which was claimed to be effectively controlled in nineteenth century colonial India, appeared in post-colonial (South) India - in the form of both sex selective abortion and female infanticide - in communities and regions where it was previously claimed to be unknown? What effects could these social practices have on contemporary women' s positions and their developments and vice-versa? In answering these questions. the thesis makes a significant departure from previous anthropological studies on female infanticide in India in that it does not solely look into one single unit (village/s in this case), but uses a multi-sited approach, covering a wider geographical area, i.e parts of Salem, Dharmapuri, and Erode districts of Tamil Nadu. The thesis also shifts from the purely demographic approach to female infanticide in that it does not generate a new data set on felmale infanticide. Rather, it engages with the institutional responses and their rhetoric on female infanticide and sex selective abortion.

Resumen

Cette thèse étudie comment les politiques publiques d’industrialisation, les investissements étrangers et la gouvernance transnationale des entreprises altèrent l’espace public en Inde. Tout d’abord, nous analysons les interactions entre la population, l’état et l’entreprise multinationale Michelin dans l’établissement d’un nouveau parc industriel sur les terrains communaux d’un village au Tamil Nadu. Ensuite, nous démontrons que si les mouvements sociaux transnationaux et les mécanismes extraterritoriaux de résolution de conflit appellent les entreprises multinationales à respecter les droits de l’homme, ces derniers restent insuffisants pour répondre à la violence structurelle et à l’injustice sociale à l’œuvre dans le développement industriel contemporain de l’Inde
This thesis studies how public policies of industrialization, foreign investments and transnational corporate governance alter social space in India. Firstly, we analyze the interactions between the population, the state and the French multinational corporation Michelin in the set-up of a new industrial park on the common lands of a village in rural Tamil Nadu. Then, we contend that while transnational social movements and extraterritorial grievance mechanisms call on multinational corporations to respect human rights, they remain insufficient to address the structural violence and the social injustice experienced in India’s contemporary industrial development

Resumen

In their struggle for equality in Tamil Nadu, Dalits (ex-untouchables) often challenge prevailing caste norms by appropriating practices and conventions of locally dominant groups. This study examines how the Dalit Pallars of Tamil Nadu engage in various forms of socio-cultural and political assertions to challenge their marginality. It looks at the performative aspects of such struggles by focusing on Guru Pujas; public performances undertaken to pay homage to late social and political icons/leaders. As annual events these pujas have enabled Thevars, the local dominant caste, to showcase their community’s strength and power through the appropriation of public space. However, the same mode of public performance, which was integral to the public production and consolidation of the dominant caste as a political community, has been replicated by historically marginalised castes. This is reflected tangibly through visual aesthetics during commemorations. Following the Thevars and Nadars, a section of the Pallars are engaged in proclaiming the historical past by asserting that they too form the royal lineage and are competing with Thevar iconography to challenge the cultural dominance of Thevars. As quotidian forms of oppression and violence mark the spatial relationship between these castes, these performances provide a micro-lens to understand the dynamics of how local power is generated and made visible through a politics inscribed in space. Recent decades have witnessed increased competition over public symbols and the strategic location of caste-specific cultural signifiers – including competition over style and performance – and a heightened contest over the occupation of public space. Thus, the study maps the Pallar assertion and the challenges posed by Thevar retaliation.

Resumen

L’augmentation présumée de la consommation de viande en Inde, pays parfois décrit comme étant principalement végétarien, nourrit de nombreuses spéculations. Cette thèse vise à étudier les recompositions du statut de la viande en Inde, notamment dans l’Etat du Tamil Nadu, en accordant une attention particulière à la dimension spatiale de cet aliment. En Inde, la viande reste marginale : sa consommation est régulée par des logiques religieuses, morales, médicales ou économiques. Ses réseaux d’approvisionnement sont structurés par des contraintes écologiques et techniques mais aussi sociales et symboliques. Les abattoirs sont des lieux de conflit sur les usages et les significations des produits carnés. La visibilité des boucheries dans l’espace public est fortement contrôlée. Ainsi, la viande, notamment celle de bœuf, devient un aliment politique, support de revendications identitaires. Mais l’urbanisation, l’industrialisation et la connexion à l’espace-Monde modifient progressivement le rapport des Indiens à la viande. La massification des circuits carnés ne peut être niée. Les exportations de viande de buffle s’envolent. Au restaurant, la consommation de viande, notamment de poulet produit de façon intensive, devient pour la classe moyenne de Chennai une pratique statutaire. Pour autant, la transition alimentaire parfois prophétisée apparaît être une hypothèse erronée. La banalisation de la viande, circonscrite dans l’espace, va de pair avec une extrême différenciation des pratiques, en fonction des types de viandes, des individus, des contextes. En Inde, le rapport à la viande, véritable « substance biomorale », contribue à dessiner des géographies matérielles et idéelles, façonnant des territoires et des circuits, définissant des distances réelles ou symboliques entre les hommes et les animaux ou entre les groupes sociaux
The fact that meat consumption is allegedly on the rise in India, a country often depicted as primarily vegetarian, feeds speculation. By paying special attention to the spatial dimensions of this foodstuff, this thesis aims at investigating the recasting of the meanings of meat in this country, particularly in the State of Tamil Nadu. In India, meat consumption is still marginal. Its consumption is religiously, morally, medically and economically regulated. Ecological, technical, social and symbolic constraints shape its networks of provision. The uses and significations of the different meats are contested in slaughterhouses. In the public space, the visibility of butcheries is under strict control. Thus, the issue of meat, and especially of beef, is highly negotiated within the political arena, being leveraged by identity claims. But dynamics of urbanization, industrialization and globalization appear to be gradually reconfiguring the relation that Indians maintain with meat. Undeniably, meat is becoming commoditized, mass-produced. Buffalo meat exports are soaring. At the restaurant, the consumption of meat, especially of intensively reared chickens, becomes a marker of social status for the middle classes of Chennai. Yet, the assumed food transition turns out to be a flawed assumption. The secularization and growing acceptance of meat is restricted to peculiar places. Practices are highly differentiated by types of meat, by individuals and by contexts. In India, the way people interact with meat, an actual “biomoral substance”, contributes to drawing material and immaterial geographies, to shaping territories and circuits, to fixing real and symbolic distances between people and animals and between social groups

Emergence of India as a major center in the world for software production since the early 1990s has been a remarkable success story of economic development. However, within the country, the growth in this industry has been concentrated in mainly the southern and the western parts. Regional growth of this industry has been driven by the policies of the regional governments, especially after the early 1990s when the central government initiated wide-ranging economic and policy reforms. In this dissertation, I examine the development strategies pursued by three states in southern India for development of this industry within an overall neo-liberal policy framework of the central government. Two of these states (Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh) have been highly successful in attracting software firms since the mid 1990s, while the third state (Kerala) has lagged behind. I argue that the success of these states in establishing a technologically sophisticated industry within a short time is based on four critical factors: availability of adequate skilled labor and specialized infrastructure, pro-employer labor and policy reforms, ethnic linkages of immigrant professionals abroad who returned to establish firms in their native states, and their existing technological capabilities at the beginning of reforms. In a liberalizing economy, these states provided specialized infrastructure and skilled labor; implemented pro-employer policy reforms; attracted expatriate professionals; and facilitated production and marketing linkages between the local firms and foreign markets. This allowed the local firms to exploit the opportunities due to increasing vertical specialization by firms in the developed economies.
(cont.) While the influence of dominant class coalitions consisting of industrialists and professionals in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh ensured the success of these policies, the relatively autonomous nature of the state in Kerala, its lack of genuine labor and policy reforms, its distrust of large private enterprises, and its focus on redistribution rather than growth prevented it from achieving similar success. Contrary to common explanations in the literature, the state has not played a significant role in providing specialized R&D or finance to the industry. This research shows that developing regions have multiple options available to them to promote hi-tech industries even within an overall neo-liberal policy framework.
