Beyond Bali Subaltern Citizens and Post-Colonial Intimacy

English | ISBN: 9462980640 | 2016 | 204 pages | PDF | 1245 KB
This ethnography explores how Balinese citizens produce postcolonial intimacy-a complex interaction of claims to proximity and mutuality between themselves and the Dutch under colonialism that continues today. Such claims, Ana Dragojlovic explains, are crucial for the diasporic reconfiguration of kebalian, or Balinese-ness, a concept that encompasses the personal, social, and cultural complexities involved in Balinese identity in Dutch postcolonial society. This identity enables Balinese migrants to see themselves as carriers of unique cultural traditions both promoted by and in disagreement with Dutch cultural values.

Subaltern Chronicle of the Peninsular War


Free Download George Gleig, Ian Robertson, "Subaltern: Chronicle of the Peninsular War"
English | 2008 | ISBN: 0850528305 | EPUB | pages: 208 | 3.6 mb
Lieutenants, or "subalterns" as they were called, were very young in the British Army of the Napoleonic Wars, so George Gleig was not unique when he joined the 85th Light Infantry at the age of 17. Thrown into action in Spain against invading French forces in the summer of 1813, Gleig fought continuously for 18 months. The unique quality of Gleig’s personal account was recognized immediately, and his narrative was praised by the Duke of Wellington himself. Although not always readily available to the general public. Gleig’s account has been extensively drawn on by later historians and historical novelists. Gleig left behind a unique account of Wellington’s victories, the primitive conditions endured by both soldiers and civilians, and the mood of the times.

Subaltern theory emerged as a small voice within academia decades ago. Over time, this work generated significant debate and numerous publications, talks, and conferences. However, little has changed in the experienced lives of the masses. This led people to wonder: "the subalterns seem to have a voice, but can they take action?"; or, in other words, is there subaltern practice?

Subaltern Public Theology Dalits and the Indian Public Sphere


Free Download Raj Bharat Patta, "Subaltern Public Theology: Dalits and the Indian Public Sphere"
English | ISBN: 3031238974 | 2023 | 270 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book delves into the public character of public theology from the sites of subalternity, the excluded Dalit (non) public in the Indian public sphere. Raj Bharat Patta employs a decolonial methodology and explores the topic in three parts: First, he engages with ‘theological contexts,’ by mapping global and Indian public theologies and critically analysing them. Next, he discusses ‘theological companions,’ and explains ‘theological subalternity’ and ‘subaltern public’ as companions for a subaltern public theology for India. Finally, Patta explains ‘theological contours’ by discussing subaltern liturgy as a theological account of the subaltern public and explores a subaltern public theology for India.
