Digital Expressions of the Self(ie)

The Social Life of Selfies in India

By: Avishek Ray,Ethiraj Gabriel Dattatreyan,Usha Raman,Martin Web,Neha Gupta,Sai Amulya Komarraju,Anuja Premika,Riad Azam,Farhat Salim,Pranavesh Subramanian

The book examines the social and cultural role of selfies in India. It looks at how the selfie, unlike the photograph, which was a gesture towards an external reality, remains intimately self-referential, yet reconfigures social ordering, identity formation, agency, and spaces in curious ways. This volume approaches questions about the construction and performance of the self through the digital selfie and uses this situated, contextualized, and culturally specific phenomenon as a site to explore the themes of self-making, place-making, gender, subjectivity, and power. Highlighting the specific contexts of production, the authors examine the array of self-expressive capabilities realized in a multitude of uses of the selfie that simultaneously reconfigure the self, the space, and the world. An important study of visual social media culture, the volume will be useful for interpreting everyday media experiences and will be of interest to students and researchers of image studies, visual studies, photography studies, visual culture, media studies, culture studies, cultural anthropology, digital humanities, popular culture, sociology of technology, and South Asian studies.

Short Story Press Presents The Tronik Gambit

By: Short Story Press,Salim Farhat

Short Story Press Presents The Tronik Gambit by Salim Farhat The Tronik Gambit is the story of a rag-tag group of air pirates. Like their older, sea-borne brethren, they spent years terrorizing aerial shipping, raiding ships on the seas with float-planes, and robbing towns and remote outposts on land, and using their machines to make the fastest getaways imaginable and were a huge thorn in the side of the authorities. Operating from a massive flying aircraft carrier, and using clouds, mist, and forbidding terrain to hide their presence and move around with impunity. Their weapons and machines are makeshift, and purchased from corrupt industrialists, and created entirely from scratch with nothing but stolen parts and material, or outright stolen from the legitimate governments of the world. Amid all this, there is a massive war going on between the Drakameer and the Ukarin, two nations with a history of bitterness that runs so deeps that neither side has any qualms against using criminals, madmen, or psychopaths against each other. While they’re still officially wanted, air pirates were used to do thing that would be too difficult for them to explain to their own citizens. For all their success, most of the gang has grown weary of their life on the edge and yearn to go back to the society that they had turned their backs on, so long ago. So they use their connections with some shady individuals in the Ukarin military, men who have no qualms selling their country’s secrets for a fistful of cash and some favors. Discovering that the ruthless General Tronik, a psychopath with a pathological need to undertake military ventures that border on the suicidal, they realize they not only have their ticket to securing their pardon, but to ending their careers with the biggest bang imaginable. All while taking on the most monstrous war machine they had ever produced: the flying battleship Briesmonis. Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

Staphylococcus Aureus

By: Hassan Hemeg,Hani Ozbak,Farhat Afrin

Staphylococcus aureus strains are an important medical infectious agent that causes a wide range of pathogeneses starting from colonization of the skin and mucosal surface to severe pathogenic effects such as septicemia. The mortality and morbidity from this pathogen are challenging issues for the healthcare premises. Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains (MRSA) are causing severe infections due to the genes that are resistant to several antibiotics including methicillin, aminoglycosides, and others. Recently, there have been several reports related to failure of treatment plans caused by MRSA that led to Vancomycin Intermediate Staphylococcus aureus strains (VISA) or, in sporadic cases, resistance to the drug of choice. This book highlights the new areas for the treatment of MRSA using natural products. The implementation of specific products produced by this organism can help the scientist to obtain a new window for treatments such as anticancer chemotherapy, antioxidants, etc.

State and Locality in Mughal India

Power Relations in Western India, C.1572-1730

By: Farhat Hasan

This book presents an exploratory study of the Mughal state and its negotiation with local power relations. By studying the state from the perspective of the localities and not from that of the Mughal Court, it shifts the focus from the imperial grid to the local arenas, and more significantly, from 'form' to 'process'. As a result, the book offers a new interpretation of the system of rule based on an appreciation of the local experience of imperial sovereignty, and the inter-connections between the state and the local power relations. The book knits together the systems- and action-theoretic approaches to power, and presents the Mughal state as a dynamic structure in constant change and conflict. The study, based on hitherto unexamined local evidence, highlights the extent to which the interactions between state and society helped to shape the rule structure, the normative system and 'the moral economy of the state'.
