Dwivedi and Mohan reject simplistic accounts of India's politics as the opposition between 'Hindu majoritarian nationalism' and 'the religious minorities', or between 'Hindu fundamentalism' and 'religious pluralism'. They propose instead a genuinely transformative account of Indian politics, grounded in political philosophy and in the lower- caste majority position.What does revolution mean where the constitutional promise of equality is betrayed daily by the millennia- old inequality of caste? What does politics mean where religion serves as the justification for descent- based enslavement and indignity? Revolution has only one sense in India, the annihilation of caste; and 'citizen' has only one sense, the people of the state shedding caste and racism.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49753334972689,"sku":"NGR9781911723233","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50024120746257,"sku":"GOR013838788","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51054497399057,"sku":"NIN9781911723233","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":52880501899537,"sku":"CIN1911723235LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1911723235.jpg?v=1751433030"},{"product_id":"narratology-and-ideology-book-divya-dwivedi-9780814254752","title":"Narratology and Ideology","description":"\u003ci\u003eNarratology and Ideology: Negotiating Context, Form, and Theory in Postcolonial Narratives, \u003c\/i\u003e edited by Divya Dwivedi, Henrik Skov Nielsen, and Richard Walsh, brings together many of the most prominent figures in the interface between narratology and postcolonial criticism.

In the age where everyone is in the public and everything is visible, this volume creates a delay in which the internet of things, mass surveillance and social media are asked “What is\/not the Public?”  The essays bring to attention the formation of geo-politically and historically distinct public spheres from South Africa, India, America and Europe. Such formations are found not only in the postcolonial histories of print, photography, cinema and caricature but also those underway in the digital era, such as the Arab Spring, Occupy movements and Anonymous. Through critical engagement with philosophers such as Kant, Heidegger, Benjamin, Habermas and Arendt , the determining concepts of the Public Sphere—privacy, secrecy, reason, the people—are shown to be undergoing epistemological and practical ruptures.   Demonstrating the necessity of these considerations to understand the world public that is rapidly transforming this concept in radical ways through technologies today, this is the first collection on the subject to feature an impressive range of international thinkers. Global and timely in outlook, it breaks new ground and changes our way of looking at politics in the 21st century.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52332968509713,"sku":"NLS9781350028340","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781350028340.jpg?v=1758153265"},{"product_id":"virality-of-evil-book-divya-dwivedi-9781538164709","title":"Virality of Evil","description":"The authors of this insightful and urgent collection both use the metaphor of evil as a virus or contagion and conceptualize the COVID-19 virus as a manifestation of evil to reconsider the purpose of philosophy in and for a pandemic.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52531061653777,"sku":"NLS9781538164709","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53014910664977,"sku":"NIN9781538164709","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781538164709.jpg?v=1760655100"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-divya-dwivedi.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
