簡介

+ INDIA SINCE THE 90S #1 Edited by ASHISH RAJADHYAKSHA 7 x 9 inches • (xx+408) 428 pages • Hardback How did we get here? As the twenty-first century unfolds, several seemingly unprecedented phenomena evoke ghosts of past histories that suggest we may have been here before. Forms and arguments gone acquire new relevance, as retrospective signposts for the contemporary. 'India Since the 90s' assembles texts and images from diverse academic disciplines and cultural practices, to look again at the millennial turn that is shaping our present. Series Editor: Ashish Rajadhyaksha The Hunger of the Republic: Our Present in Retrospect, Volume 1 in the ‘India Since the 90s’ series, is a text and visual assemblage. Across the 1990s and early 2000s, key concepts of democracy – of welfare and justice, of people and citizen-subjects – got mutated into unrecognizable avatars. It was a change being recorded in real time by artists, academics and diverse cultural producers. Brought together and viewed in hindsight, their work appears unexpectedly prescient. Documentary and art images, maps and letters combine with essays on politics, economics, cultural studies and aesthetics to produce a retrospective account for how our present came to be.
