Nalini Malani & Arjun Appadurai

Die Moral der Verweigerung(dOCUMENTA (13): 100 Notes - 100 Thoughts, 100 Notizen - 100 Gedanken # 023)

By: Arjun Appadurai,Nalini Malani

Arjun Appadurai reflektiert in seiner Abhandlung den Stellenwert der Ideen Gandhis zur Gewaltlosigkeit als Form politischen Handelns in Indien und verfolgt die These, dass sein Denken und seine Praktiken eine doppelte Genealogie aufweisen. Während die eine Genealogie in Beziehung zu indischen Vorstellungen von Askese, Verzicht und Enthaltsamkeit steht, ist die zweite von Königsherrschaft, Opfer und kriegerischem Heldenmut beeinflusst und nimmt keinerlei Rücksicht auf eine Schädigung von Lebewesen. In den indischen Traditionen kriegerischer Enthaltsamkeit werden beide Genealogien miteinander vermischt, was eine lebendige Quelle für Politik militanter Religiosität im heutigen Indien darstellt. Nalini Malani reagiert auf diesen Essay mit Zeichnungen, die ihn teils überlagern, teils eigenständig begleiten und in denen sich die Ausführungen Appadurais sinnlich widerspiegeln. Nalini Malani (*1946) ist Künstlerin und lebt in Bombay. Arjun Appadurai (*1949) ist Anthropologe und Goddard Professor für Medien, Kultur und Kommunikation an der New York University. Sprache: Deutsch/Englisch

Handbook of Twentieth-Century Literatures of India

By: Nalini Natarajan

India has a rich literary assemblage produced by its many different regional traditions, religious faiths, ethnic subcultures and linguistic groups. The published literature of the 20th century is a particularly interesting subject and is the focus of this book, as it represents the provocative conjuncture of the transitions of Indian modernity. This reference book surveys the major regional literatures of contemporary India in the context of the country's diversity and heterogeneity. Chapters are devoted to particular regions, and the arrangement of the work invites comparisons of literary traditions. Chapters provide extensive bibliographies of primary works, thus documenting the creative achievement of numerous contemporary Indian authors. Some chapters cite secondary works as well, and the volume concludes with a list of general works providing further information. An introductory essay overviews theoretical concerns, ideological and aesthetic considerations, developments in various genres, and the history of publishing in regional literatures. The introduction provides a context for approaching the chapters that follow, each of which is devoted to the literature of a particular region. Each chapter begins with a concise introductory section. The body of each chapter is structured according to social and historical events, literary forms, or broad descriptive or analytic trends, depending on the particular subject matter. Each chapter then closes with an extensive bibliography of primary works, thus documenting the rich literary tradition of the region. Some chapters also cite secondary sources as an aid to the reader. The final chapters of the book address special topics, such as sub-cultural literatures, or the interplay between literature and film. A list of additional sources of general information concludes the volume.

Alternative Medicines for Diabetes Management

Advances in Pharmacognosy and Medicinal Chemistry

By: Varma H. Rambaran,Nalini K. Singh

Apart from diet and exercise, the strategic use of different classes of prescribed or non-prescribed xenobiotic compounds for the restoration of euglycemic levels in the body is well known. The ongoing rivalry between the recommended usage of allopathic medicines versus ayurvedic remedies has encouraged many researchers to focus their studies on thoroughly isolating and characterizing the extracts from different parts of plants and then evaluating their relative activities via in vitro, in vivo and in some cases clinical studies. Alternative Medicines for Diabetes Management: Advances in Pharmacognosy and Medicinal Chemistry provides a holistic view of all oral therapies for diabetes mellitus that are available to the public by removing the silos and stigmas that are associated with both allopathic and ayurvedic medicines. Additional Features Include: Highlights the potential role of dietary and medicinal plant materials in the prevention, treatment, and control of diabetes and its complications. Educates readers on the benefits and shortcomings of the various present and potential oral therapies for diabetes mellitus. Allows quick identification and retrieval of material by researchers learning the efficacy, associated dosage and toxicity of each of the classes of compounds. Presents the history, nomenclature, mechanisms of action and shortcomings for each of the various sub-classes of allopathic therapeutants for diabetes mellitus and then introduces ayurvedic medicines. Section C discusses various metallopharmaceuticals and provides a holistic view of all available and potential therapies for the disease.
