In Focus by The HinduIn Focus-Parley | Is the American Dream dead for Indians?On September 19, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order, raising the H-1B visa fee to $1,00,000. Many fear that this will disproportionately impact Indian workers, especially those with lower median salaries. Although the White House has clarified that the fee applies only to new applicants and not those up for renewal or already in the country, there are concerns, especially against the backdrop of immigration control and protectionism.
Is the American Dream dead for Indians? Here, we discuss the question.

New Books in Environmental StudiesMaron E. Greenleaf, "Forest Lost: Producing Green Capitalism in the Brazilian Amazon" (Duke UP, 2024)Forest Lost: Producing Green Capitalism in the Brazilian Amazon (2024) is an ethnography of forest carbon offsets and the wider effort to make the living rainforest valuable in the Brazilian Amazon. Situated in the state of Acre, which continuously had to grapple with a complex positionality between frontier and periphery, Maron E. Greenleaf explores forest carbon offset to understand green capitalism. Commodifying forest carbon offset requires keeping carbon in place through forest protection and valuation, unlike other forest commodities – for example Açaí berries, which also feature in the ethnography – that involve extraction.

AnthroArtNotes for an Anthropology of Plastics - Magdalena CrăciunNowadays fossil-based plastics are ubiquitous. They are in our clothes, buildings, cars, and roads. Accumulations of very small pieces of plastics, called micro-plastics and nano-plastics, are present everywhere in nature and various organisms, including humans, with effects whose gravity we are only now beginning to understand. In addition, fossil-based plastics are almost indestructible, being considered the “new immortals,” next to other man-made materials such as cement or radioactive waste. Then, in our “plasticized” world, how do we relate to plastics and how do we learn to approach its dangerous and almost eternal presence? These are some of the questions of an anthr...

Imaginations / CancellationsMumbai & Nairobi: Media Connecting Dividuals and SpheresSocial media and the digital world is what is connecting the dividuals and spheres. The cities of this episode are Nairobi and Mumbai and we wonder whether it is fair to have one identity or sphere as a city or even a person.
We talk about the points being made by Arjun Appadurai on this matter, the Panopticon theory of Jeremy Bentham and this new strange digitalised world.

SamuraiEP7 - Desiderio o progetto. Una prospettiva femminista - con Samanta PicciaiolaChe vivessimo in una società ancora profondamente segnata dal patriarcato ci era chiaro. Che praticamente ogni struttura economica sociale culturale che sorregge il nostro mondo derivasse da una centralità del maschio, pure. Ma un conto è saperlo, un conto è farselo sbattere in faccia con la crudezza che solo un approccio filosoficamente rigoroso può avere. Una chiacchierata che voleva essere uno stress test per Samurai, un progetto che a ben vedere è un’apoteosi maschile. Con Samanta Picciaiola abbiamo parlato del potere che ha il desiderio di innescare cambiamenti, e di come ormai abbiamo silenziato questa nostra capacità di immaginare dando voce a ci...

Nomadismo ProfessionaleSocietà liquida e flussi culturaliInsieme alla rivoluzione digitale e al cambiamento climatico, migrazioni, marginalizzazione sociale e globalizzazione sono i grandi fenomeni della nostra epoca. Ci sono due grandi intellettuali contemporanei che a questi temi hanno dedicato tutta la loro vita. Le loro teorie permettono di mettere meglio a fuoco le connessioni esistenti tra tutti questi ampi e variegati processi in atto: mi riferisco a Zygmunt Bauman che ha introdtto il concetto di società liquida e a Arjun Appadurai, teorico dei flussi culturali globali.

Some argue that the term ‘fascist’ would be useful in understanding the nature of politics in these countries, while others warn against an inflationary use of the term. We close the second season of the podcast by asking Professor Jason Stanley (Yale University) whether the term ‘fascism’ helps us understand what is happening...

АнлерКто такой гражданин мира ? Разговор об одном итальянском фильме и о моей диссертацииВсе мы когда-либо слышали о понятии "гражданин мира", но иногда с трудом можем себе представить кто он и зачем стоит или не стоит следовать идеям космополитизма. У многих он весьма справедливо ассоциируется с колониализмом, империализмом или просто привилегированным статусом в обществе. Другие понимают под "космополитизмом" способность говорить на разных языках, желание путешествовать и открывать для себя страны и культуры. Что об этом думает современная философия, как итальянские пенсионеры могут быть гражданами мира и при чем тут моя диссертация - об этом новый выпуск Анлера.Кстати, публикуя этот эпизод, я узнала о том, что Salih Saasin Khalid, в роли Абу, сыграл в фильме самого себя. На деньги, заработанные на съемках, он смог уехать в Канаду. Источник : https://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm-273523/secrets-tournage/ Ссылки на авторов, которых я упоминаю :Appadurai, Arjun (2013).

We were supposed to speak in March at a Live Event during the annual conference of the Comparative and International Education Society in Miami, but like most things in life, the pandemic got in the way.

Per farlo ci faremo accompagnare dalle parole dell’antropologo di origine indiana Arjun Appadurai, che ha scritto importanti pagine su questa megalopoli indiana dove è nato. Ci soffermeremo in particolare sul fenomeno cosiddetto di urbanizzazione del mondo, che, per la prima volta nella storia dell’umanità, ha visto la popolazione urbana superare quella rurale.

Hertie SchoolArjun Appadurai – The ghost of SchumpeterDoes the nature of innovation in the sphere of digital technology today represent success or failure for contemporary capitalism? Newly appointed Hertie School Senior Fellow Arjun Appadurai revisited the political economist Joseph Schumpeter's influential ideas about "creative destruction” to shed light on this question. Examining the role of designers, investors, and consumers in the era of digital products and services, Appadurai showed how technological innovation has turned disruption into the primary entrepreneurial ideology.
