Free Download Sharmistha Chatterjee, "Landscape and Gender: Traversing the Contested and Mediated ‘Spaces’ in India"
English | ISBN: 9358527781 | 2024 | 394 pages | PDF | 6,5 MB
Landscape and Gender delves into the intricacies of contested and mediated ‘spaces’ through a gendered lens. Bringing together a range of subjects-archaeology, history, cultural geography, and urban studies-the chapters here examine the connections between landscape and gender within a spatio-temporal framework unique to India. The volume explores spaces that are regulated and subordinated by agencies, and which reinforce gender gaps in quotidian landscapes. The theoretical discourse that underpins the volume aids in comprehending the subtleties of genderscapes. Further, it throws light on relationship dynamics in varying spatial contexts, including public-private and rural-urban, and makes us cognizant of the structures of disparities and discrimination that often emerge and evolve from the closest units, such as families and peer groups. This volume weaves together the diverse ‘landscapes’ of India through ontological and epistemological orientations to explore how gendered norms, roles, and structures have remained constant, in one way or another, across time.

Chapters cover all the essential aspects of each disease entity viz. the pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnostic armamentarium, and guidelines for diagnosis and management. It is supplemented with full-colorful illustrations and photomicrographs for better comprehension. It includes a chapter highlighting the current progress in the field of immune-mediated myopathies and neuropathies as it is a rapidly evolving field with the addition of many new entities.

New technologies, whether text message or telegraph, inevitably raise questions about emotion.

Feeling Mediated investigates the larger context of such concerns, considering both how media technologies intersect with our emotional lives and how our ideas about these intersections influence how we think about and experience emotion and technology themselves.
