Calcutta et ses ports : 40 ans de développement régional et de gouvernance portuaire : Acteurs, enjeux et conflitsNekrouf, Salima 09 April 2015 (has links)
Le développement portuaire est mis en perspective à partir des ports de Calcutta, la troisième métropole de l’Inde par sa population. L’objet d’analyse est le phénomène de régionalisation portuaire en Inde, défini par une gouvernance portuaire qui lui est propre. La recherche articule géographie portuaire, géographie régionale et géographie économique dans une démarche qui permet d’appréhender la gouvernance portuaire en Inde, ainsi que la relation métropole-port. Elle interroge ainsi deux notions en géographie portuaire : la régionalisation et la gouvernance portuaires en Inde. La thèse montre que la régionalisation portuaire s’insère dans les évolutions de la gouvernance portuaire qui caractérise Calcutta. Elle souligne la pertinence de la notion de gouvernance portuaire comme catégorie analytique du phénomène de régionalisation portuaire, comme processus et comme enjeu politico-socio-économique. Par ailleurs, le rôle joué par la gouvernance portuaire dans le rapport métropole-port est mis en évidence par l’étude des choix économiques ouvertement néolibéraux en opposition aux couleurs politiques du gouvernement du Bengale occidental, communiste depuis 1977. Dans ce contexte spécifique au Bengale occidental, la régionalisation portuaire évolue à travers une succession d’étapes marquées par l’initiation de réformes faisant progressivement appel à la participation des capitaux privés. En Inde, les décisions prises en matière de réformes portuaires, souvent au détriment des populations les plus vulnérables (paysans), ne sont pas sans poser de problèmes sociaux, qui ont déjà évolué vers de graves conflits entre ces populations et les acteurs impliqués dans la question portuaire. A Calcutta, les enjeux du développement portuaire régional posent la question de la place de ses ports comme outil de développement pour cette région de l’Inde, pays d’Asie du Sud devenu puissance émergente sur la scène internationale. / Port development is put into perspective from the ports of Calcutta, the third metropolis by population in India. The object of analysis is the port regionalization phenomenon in India, defined by a port governance of its own. The research focuses port geography, economic geography and regional geography in a process that allows us to understand the port governance in India, as well as the city-port relationship. It thus interrogates two concepts in harbor geography regionalization and port governance in India. The thesis shows that the port regionalization fits into the evolution of port governance that characterizes Calcutta. It stresses the relevance of the concept of port governance as an analytical category of port regionalization phenomenon as a process and as political, social and economic issue. Moreover, the role of governance in the port city harbor report is highlighted by the study of economic choices openly in opposition to neoliberal policies colors of the Government of West Bengal Communist since 1977. In this specific context in West Bengal port regionalization evolves through a succession of stages marked by the initiation of reforms gradually involving the participation of private capital. In India, decisions on port reforms, often at the expense of the most vulnerable populations (farmers) are not without social problems, which have evolved into serious conflicts between indigenous people and other actors involved in the port question. In Calcutta, the challenges of regional port development raises the question of the place of its ports as a development tool for this region of India, South Asia become an emerging power on the international stage.

Previous issue date: 2015-08-31 / CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Este trabalho busca analisar as apropriações que o escritor indiano em língua inglesa Amitav Ghosh faz das noções ocidentais de ciência e religião em suas respectivas obras The Calcutta Chromosome e The Circle of Reason, por meio de diálogos, tensões e negociações destas noções com paradigmas filosófico-religiosos de caráter inclusivista e dialógico da civilização indiana, que são matrizes existenciais que perpassam gerações e influenciam inclusive a contemporaneidade da Índia. Para esse fim, esse trabalho privilegia a literatura ficcional como ferramenta crítica para as discussões sobre ciência e religião, uma vez que a ficção propicia a contextualização das coisas/seres, ou seja, a apreensão destes em sua totalidade. Com isso, também buscamos apresentar uma contextualização histórica, linguística, literária, científica e filosófico-religiosa para que sejam mais bem compreendidas algumas escolhas de Amitav Ghosh, a saber: a língua inglesa, o gênero literário romance, as temáticas da medicina tropical e da frenologia e a apropriação da doutrina da transmigração da alma (ātma), a lei do karma e a teoria dos guṇas, discutidas em fontes como os Upaniṣads e o Bhagavad-gītā. Como ferramentas de análise utilizamos, sobretudo, teorias pós-coloniais de subalternidade, tradições unitaristas da filosofia hindu, as obras não-ficcionais do próprio autor e as obras dos mais importantes críticos literários de Ghosh. Com as análises literárias mostramos que Ghosh, além de por em prática a tradição inclusivista indiana, ele demonstra a superioridade do ―domínio espiritual‖ sobre o ―domínio material‖, (conceitos cunhados por Partha Chatterjee) e reabilita a noção de uma racionalidade ocidental excludente tornando-a uma razão iluminadora e libertadora. / This study analyzes the appropriations of Western notions of science and religion by the Indian writer in English Amitav Ghosh, in his respective works The Calcutta Chromosome and The Circle of Reason, through dialogues, tensions, and negotiations between these notions and religious and philosophical paradigms of the Indian civilization, characterized by its inclusive and dialogical characteristics. These paradigms form an existential matrix that crosses generations and even influences contemporary India. To this end, this work focuses on fictional literature as a critical tool for the discussion on science and religion, since fiction provides contextualization for things/beings, that is, the comprehention of these in their entirety. With this, we also seek to provide a historical, linguistic, literary, scientific, philosophical and religious context in order to better understand some of Amitav Ghosh‘s choices, namely the English language, the novel as literary genre, the themes of tropical medicine and phrenology and the appropriation of the doctrine of transmigration of the soul (saṃsāra), the law of karma and the theory of guṇas discussed in sources such as the Upaniṣads and the Bhagavad-gītā. As tools of analysis, we use especially postcolonial theories of subalternity, unitarian traditions of Hindu philosophy, nonfictional works of the author himself and the works of the most important literary critics of Ghosh‘s work. With literary analysis we show that Ghosh, besides using the inclusivist Indian tradition, demonstrates the superiority of ―spiritual domain‖ over the ―material domain‖ (concepts coined by Partha Chatterjee) and also rehabilitates the notion of an exclusionary Western rationality transforming it into an enlightening and liberating reason.

The Port of Calcutta (1860-1910): State Power, Technology and LaborBose, Aniruddha January 2013 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Prasannan Parthasarathi / This dissertation is a study of state power, technological change, and class conflict at the port of colonial Calcutta. It explores the period between 1860 and 1910 in order to recast historical understandings of the relationship between the colonial state, science and technology, and labor. The dissertation explores a period of great change, resulting from massive increases in public investment. These investments transformed the port's infrastructure, making the loading and unloading of cargo ships significantly easier. They were also designed to secure the supply of cheap labor, and better supervise the port's labor force. The investments involved the deployment of new technologies and scientific knowledge. This included various new kinds of machinery, such as cranes and railroads that were designed to speed up the pace of work or occasionally to automate the loading and unloading of cargoes, as well as, the use of new medical knowledge to prevent the spread of disease. International trade benefited greatly from these investments, but their effects on labor were more complex. The new machinery made the work of loading and unloading easier, but also more dangerous. Moreover, many workers resented the enhanced supervision that they were subject to. In a bid to secure the supply of labor, the government authorities managing the port attempted to alter the existing casual hiring practices of the port with new hiring systems wherein laborers were locked into long term contracts with their employers. Many workers fought back through acts of everyday resistance and well organized strikes. They were most successful towards the turn of the century when a plague epidemic disrupted the supply of labor in Calcutta. While some workers fled the city, others fought for, and won higher wages. The state was also forced to invest in expensive automation and labor welfare projects in order to secure their workforce. The dissertation highlights the critical role of technology in the reshaping of labor relations in the British Raj. It also underscores the central importance of trade for the colonial state. Finally, the dissertation underscores the dialectic that characterized the relationship between labor and colonial capital. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2013. / Submitted to: Boston College.

[pt] A CRISTOLOGIA EXISTENCIAL DE KARL RAHNER E DE TERESA DE CALCUTÁ: DOIS MÍSTICOS DO SÉCULO SEM DEUS / [en] THE EXISTENTIAL CHRISTOLOGY OF KARL RAHNER AND OF THERESE OF CALCUTTA: TWO MYSTICS OF THE CENTURY WITHOUT GODDOUGLAS ALVES FONTES 16 March 2020 (has links)
[pt] A cristologia existencial de Karl Rahner e de Teresa de Calcutá é uma
pesquisa cujo objetivo é apresentar, de modo comparativo, esses dois grandes
místicos do século sem Deus (XX). O trabalho se estrutura em cinco momentos.
Primeiro, é apresentada a vida do teólogo alemão que dá a tônica para o trabalho.
Em seguida, a cristologia de Karl Rahner, a partir da qual descrevemos a proposta
de uma nova reflexão cristológica para a atualidade, segundo o próprio teólogo.
Da mesma forma, explicitamos as duas vertentes cristológicas, pensadas desde a
relação com a pessoa de Jesus Cristo e tratadas por Karl Rahner, tanto a
descendente, quanto a vertente ascendente. No terceiro momento, é apresentada a
vida de Teresa de Calcutá – como foi a de Rahner – a partir da sua experiência
espiritual. Em seguida, a cristologia de Madre Teresa é descrita e orientada com
base em alguns teólogos, que oferecem luzes para a compreensão do pensamento
dessa mulher que pode e será considerada uma teóloga. O último momento da
pesquisa será estruturado numa perspectiva comparativa. Rahner e Teresa de
Calcutá serão vistos a partir das consequências da chamada cristologia existencial,
que afetam a reflexão teológica. Como via de aplicação, o pensamento do Papa
Francisco será usado, de modo que se perceba o quanto a reflexão dos místicos
pode contribuir para a renovação da teologia e, por consequência, da vida eclesial,
nos dias atuais. Dessa maneira, a cristologia existencial de Karl Rahner e de
Teresa de Calcutá oferecerá luzes para o ser cristão no século XXI. / [en] The existential Christology of Karl Rahner and of Therese of Calcutta is a
research which objective is to present, in a comparative way, these both great
mystics of the century without God (XX). This work is structured in five
moments. First, It is presented the life of the German theologian which gives the
tonic to the work. Then, the Christology of Karl Rahner from which we describe
the proposal of a new Christological reflection for the present days, according to
this theologian. At the same way, we explained the two Christological strands
thought from the relation with the person of Jesus and treated by Karl Rahner
which are both the descendant and the ascendant strand. In the third moment, It is
presented the life of Therese of Calcutta – as we did with Rahner – from her
spiritual experience. Then, the Christology of Mother Therese is described and
oriented based on some theologians, who offer lights for the comprehension of
this woman s thought who can and will be consider as a theologian. The last
research moment is going to be structured in a comparative way. Rahner and
Therese will be seen from the inconsequences of the called existential
Christology, which affect the theological reflection. As a way of application, Pope
Francis thought will be used, in order of realizing how much the reflections of the
mystics can contribute with the renewal of theology and, as a consequence, the
ecclesial life, in the present day. This manner, the existential Christology of Karl
Rahner and of Therese of Calcutta will offer lights for the being a Christian in the
XXI century.

Deoli Camp: An Oral History of the Chinese Indians from 1962 to 1966Li, Kwai 11 August 2011 (has links)
China and India claimed two territories along their borders on the Himalayas: Aksai Chin in the west and the North-East Frontier Agency in the east. The border dispute escalated and, on October 20, 1962, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) opened fire on the two fronts and advanced into the disputed territories. One month later, on November 21, China declared a unilateral ceasefire and withdrew behind its disputed line of control. In response, the Indian government arrested over 2,000 Chinese living in India and interned them in Deoli, Rajasthan. When the Chinese were released between 1964 and 1966, they found their properties sold off by the Indian government. Many left India and immigrated to Canada. I interviewed four Indian-born Chinese who were interned and who now live in the Greater Toronto Area. I recorded their accounts of life in Deoli Detention Camp in Rajasthan.
