SUMMARY:The Great Hydraulic Transition: Modern Origins of Land and Rivers in South Asia w/ Prof. Rohan D'Souza
DESCRIPTION:Development\, Though and Policy Lecture Series Presents: \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n       The Great Hydraulic Transition: Modern Origins of Land and Rivers in South Asia \n\n\n\n Presented by: Rohan D’Souza\, Assistant Professor\, Jawaharlal Nehru University\, New Delhi\, India  \n\n\n\n Thursday\, December 12 \n\n\n\n66 West 12th Street\, Room 513 \n\n\n\n4:00 P.M. – 6:00 P.M. \n\n\n\nThis seminar is co-hosted by GPIA and The India China Institute \n\n\n\n      Please RSVP to development.newschool@gmail.com \n\n\n\nDownload event flyer here (PDF) \n\n\n\nAbstract: Most writings on lands and rivers in South Asia have disingenuously accepted the “politics of separations.” Land as property and river as resource\, thus\, are overwhelmingly recognized as distinct conceptual domains. Histories about land settlements\, rent extraction\, the burdens of revenue\, legal ownership\, or the commons have occupied discussions only as the political economy of the soil. Rivers\, on the other hand\, became a technical subject involving infrastructure and the biographies of engineering and control. Professor D’Souza will argue that this politics of separations acquired a defining force in the region only through the course of the long nineteenth century. An amphibian South Asia with its soil-water admixtures actually characterized its environmental and social worlds before being transformed into the reptilian terrain of colonial modernity. \n\n\n\nBio: Dr. Rohan D’Souza is Assistant Professor at the Centre for Studies in Science Policy and the author of Drowned and Dammed: Colonial Capitalism and Flood Control in Eastern India (1803-1946)\, Oxford University Press\, 2006. His edited books include The British Empire and the Natural World: Environmental Encounters in South Asia (Oxford University Press\, 2011) and Environment\, Technology and Development: Critical and Subversive Essays (Orient BlackSwan: Hyderabad\, 2012). His interests and research publications cover themes in environmental history\, environmental politics\, non-traditional security\, sustainable development and modern technology. \n\n\n\nChair: Manjari Mahajan\, Assistant Professor of International Affairs\, New School University \n\n\n\nDiscussants: Nikhil Anand\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Geography\, University of Minnesota and Fellow\, Institute for Advanced Study\, Princeton\, and Vyjayanthi Rao\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Anthropology\, New School University
