Remember, Repeat, Inhabit
Author: Ronojoy Sircar
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 9389812607
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
Remember, Repeat, Inhabit looks at three questions in relation to the idea of the viewer: What happens when one reads someone else's reading of someone else? What happens when something repeats itself in Kieslowski's work? Is there a possibility of an ontology of space? The book attempts to understand the idea of 'viewing' from the inside, not simply as an ontological premise but definitely affected by it. Three differing contexts are looked at-a French madman's notion of the 'self', a Polish filmmaker's notion of the 'everyday' and an Indian performance artist's notion of 'memory'. Through these on-the-surface contrasting artists and texts, a particular idea of a 'viewer' emerges. This viewer is the key to an understanding of something almost elemental in the nature of the idea of 'viewing' in the contemporary context of twenty-first-century Delhi.

Muscular India: Masculinity Mobility & The New Middle Class
Author: Michiel Baas
Publisher: Context
ISBN: 9395073624
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
About the Book MICHIEL BAAS BRINGS ALIVE A WORLD OF MEN SCULPTING BODIES, REDEFINING MASCULINITIES AND CONFRONTING THEIR VULNERABILITIES IN THE GYMS OF URBAN INDIA. The gyms of urban 'new India' are intriguing spaces. While they cater largely to well-off clients, these shiny, modern institutions also hold the promise of upward mobility for the personal trainers who work there. By improving their English, 'upgrading' their dressing style and developing a deeper understanding of the lives of their upmarket customers, they strategise to climb the middle-class ladder. Their lean, muscular bodies—which Bollywood has set the tone for are crucial to this. Diverging from an older masculine ideal represented by pehlwani wrestlers, these bodies not only communicate (sexual) attractiveness, but also professionalism, control and even cosmopolitanism. With the gym aspiring to be a safe space for women, trainers must also find a way to break with the toxic masculinity that dominates life outside. Yet, the more things change, the more they remain the same. Class barriers are less permeable than they appear. The use of bodily capital to breach them is more fraught with danger than one might anticipate. And the profession is riddled with pitfalls and contradictions. Michiel Baas has spent a decade studying gyms, trainers and bodybuilders, and finds in them a new way to investigate India. He walks us through the homes and workspaces of these men - yes, they are almost all men - to bodybuilding competitions and also into their most intimate worlds of ambitions, desires and struggles. An unusual study of an unusual subject, Baas unveils a fascinating world, hidden in plain sight.

The Winning Formula
Author: K.J. Alphons
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 9356409463
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
A weekly supply of fuel for the spirit! K.J. Alphons was an unlikely candidate for success. He grew up in a village with no electricity. Although the son of a schoolteacher, he scored only 42 per cent in the board examinations. But he went on to become one of the toppers of the civil services examination and feature on Time magazine's list of 100 young global leaders, becoming an MLA, MP and Union minister. The Winning Formula thus is an illustration of what motivation and faith in oneself can accomplish. Along with anecdotes from his life, he narrates 52 stories, each about a person who has achieved the extraordinary in their own way. Seven days is the perfect amount of time for an idea to percolate and take root. Read a chapter a week, ponder on the idea and let it inspire you to find your purpose in life and become a better human being who can make their home, workplace, community and the world a happier space. These are not unattainable, Utopian ideals; rather they are a roadmap created by ordinary people like you and me to achieve success and change the world.
