She is a pioneer in the study of emotions. Among her publications are Emotions and Modernity in Colonial India: From Balance to Fervor (2019) and Ashraf into Middle Classes: Muslims in Nineteenth-Century Delhi (2013). In 2018, she co-edited Monsoon Feelings: A History of Emotions in the Rain with Imke Rajamani and Katherine Butler Schofield. On 6 March 2020, she delivered a lecture titled, ‘A History of Emotions in India: A Critical Introduction’ at the Department of Sociology, South Asian University, New Delhi. She was interviewed in New Delhi subsequent to this lecture. Kaushalya Kumarasinghe: Whenever we refer to emotions in academia, there is a risk or chance of falling into the premise of psychology or maybe moral philosophy. Since post-enlightenment disciplinary markers are still quite prominent, one should at least anticipate such consequences. Therefore, how do we understand emotions sociologically or anthropologically? Margrit Pernau: There are, of course, many different ways of approaching the study of emotions, depending on the research questions you want to ask. My own approach (laid out in an article co-written with Imke Rajamani) draws on phenomenology and the history of concepts.

As a starting point, it had the Gregorian reforms of the 6th century. Choir primarily refers to a vocal ensemble practising sacred music inside church settings as opposed to chorus which indicates vocal ensembles performing in secular environments. Multiple singers rendered sacred polyphony 1430 onwards. By the end of the century a standardized four-part range of three octaves or more became a feature. The vocal parts were called superius (later, soprano), altus, tenor (from its function of ‘holding’ the cantus-firmus) and bassus (Unger 2010, 2–3). Moving beyond its religious functions, the Shillong Chamber Choir locates itself within various sounds. Hailing from Meghalaya in the north- eastern part of India, the Shillong Chamber Choir has many folksy and original compositions in languages such as Khasi, Nagamese, Assamese and Malayalam. However, what brought them national fame was the Bollywoodisation 2 2 Bollywood refers to the South Asian film industry situated in Mumbai. The term also includes its film music and scores. of the choir. With its win in the reality TV Show, India’s Got Talent 3 3 India’s Got Talent is a reality TV series on Colors television network founded by Sakib Zakir Ahmed, part of Global British Got Talent franchise. in 2010, the Shillong Chamber Choir introduced two things to the Indian sound-scape—reproducing and inhabiting the Bollywood sound within a choral structure, and introducing to the Indian audience a medley of songs that could be termed ‘popular’, but which ultimately acquired a more eclectic framework. Medley is explored as a genre. The purpose of this article is to understand how ‘Bollywood Broadway’ is the mode through which choral renditions and more mainstream forms of entertainment are coming together.","PeriodicalId":158055,"journal":{"name":"Society and Culture in South Asia","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130251045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Even in the Western theory of urban and rural space, the influence of the concept of the city as a lens to view the countryside has been critiqued both at the politico-economic as well as an aesthetic and sensibility starting with Raymond Williams’ work. As Williams’ work focused on the commons and literature written on villages and cities in Britain to show the paucity of the concept of separating the city from the countryside, the author’s work becomes a landmark study in describing this paucity in understanding the rural and urban landscape in India. To summarise, the work addresses the politics of knowledge production as the selection of the language also decides the questions one is choosing to ask, the audience one is speaking to, and the position one elects to enunciate. The author’s work thus creates a different conceptual plain questioning the existing categories of studying space, both urban and rural. While the politics of knowledge production has been acknowledged across different academic forums, the depth and dimension of its loss can only be realised, recovered from, and dealt with in weaving together the concerns and concepts in the vernacular with ethnography.","PeriodicalId":158055,"journal":{"name":"Society and Culture in South Asia","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128428417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These are places where memories of people who have died would be embedded in different ways: places where loved ones perished, which have no markers of violence now; places where kindred are buried; formal and informal monuments erected in memory of those who have died in battle as combatants. While individuals will always remember those in their families who have died violently, in the privacy of their homes or in rituals in places of worship conducted without much fanfare, nowhere in the world would it be possible for structures of remembrance to become sentinels of memory in public space without power. And that power would always be unequal. In the aftermath of any war, victors would ensure that those who were considered enemies do not have any space in landscapes of formal public memory. Irrespective of such an outcome, individuals will continue to remember where their loves ones might have died, even though there is no monument to remember them by. This photo essay is a journey across such landscapes of memory in the context of Sri Lanka’s civil war with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Tigers (LTTE) that lasted for 30 years and ended only in 2009. At the height of its military and political power in northern Sri Lanka, the LTTE paid particular attention to sustain the memory of its combatants to generate a sense of support for the organisation as well as a source of inspiration to future guerrillas. This was mainly done by building and maintaining war cemeteries (see Figure 1) and erecting specific monuments (see Figures 2 and 3) in areas under its control.
