Title: "Religiosity and New Urbanism in India"
Speaker: Sanjay Srivastava (Professor of Sociology, Institute of Economic Growth)
Date＆Time: Friday, 4th December 2014 16:00-18:00
Place: AA401, Research Building No. 2, Yoshida Main Campus, Kyoto University (Campus Map Building no. 34 on the map)
This presentation explores the connections between contemporary practices of religiosity and two of the most sociologically significant processes of contemporary non-western life, viz., consumerism and the re-shaping of urban life.
I broach the topic through specific ethnographic vignettes relating to a religious theme park in Delhi, and gated communities and middle-class religiosity. These vignettes allow me to both link the worlds of religiosity, consumerism and new forms of urbanism, as well as position the relationship within wider contexts where meanings of terms such as ‘the state’, ‘citizens’, ‘tradition’ and ‘modernity’ are undergoing change.
