> Drawing upon the work of Michel Foucault, governmental rationality
> (?governmentality?) has become central to understanding power not simply
> as
> repression but as an epistemological phenomenon that normatively produces
> subjects. Operating through a variety of institutions, discourses,
> procedures and analyses, this form of power employs ?rational? principles
> to regulate the bodies of those subjected to it in order to produce a
> well-managed and productive population. At its most powerful it generates
> an identification of interests between the domination of others and of the
> self in order to ensure that subjects transform themselves in an
> "improving" direction. In the process it serves to construct the normative
> regularities of civil society.
>
> The concept of governmentality has exerted an ever growing influence in
> South Asian studies, for scholars working on both colonial and
> post-colonial contexts. It has inspired South Asian work on ?deep
> democracy? and urban governmentality (Appadurai, 2002), the politics of
> the
> governed (Chatterjee, 2004), the Indian public sphere and economy
> (Kalpagam,
> 2000, 2002), agrarian capital (Gidwani, 2008), cinema and the end of
> empire (Jaikumar, 2006), knowledge transfer and urban politics (McFarlane,
> 2011), colonial urbanism (Legg, 2007), health and hygiene (Heath, 2010),
> aesthetics and slum politics (Ghertner, 2010), gender and imperial social
> formations (Sinha, 2006), the colonial economy (Birla, 2009, Goswami,
> 2004), and race and violence (Kolsky, 2010). Such works have raised
> governmentality to the status of near-orthodoxy for much South Asian
> research. This has increased the scope and depth of research materials
> being brought to light, and has in turn provided substantial reflection on
> the core methodological and analytical questions at the heart of
> postcolonial governmentality studies,
> particularly the applicability of Foucault?s musings outside Europe or in

> neuro-politics of the governmental? How to think beyond neo-liberalism?

> This paper will use Foucault?s Birth of Biopolitics lecture course to

> the impression of ?natural? orders, whether social, economic, cultural and
> demographic. Within his lectures, I suggest, Foucault?s proposed two
> methodologies for countering naturalistic thought. Firstly, that we pay
> attention to the labour that goes into constructing networks of varying
> lengths and durations. Secondly, that he draws our attention to
> nominalism;
> to naming-effects. These two perspectives on apparatuses of security help
> us understand how naturalistic impressions are created: for instance, the
> idea of the self regulating free market, population, society or culture.
> This methodology has informed my recent attempt to think about the
> regulation of prostitution in interwar India. I examine the suppressionist
> movement as dependent on networks and naming-effects that have local,
> national, imperial and international manifestations, but which focus

> This paper is framed around the Citizenship Act of India 1955. It aims to
> be both an exercise in thinking about ways of tracing the life of a law,
> namely the Citizenship Act of India of 1955, as also of re-tracing it in a
> way so as to see how the law as ?state?s emissary?, to use Ranajit Guha?s
> metaphor, may also be relocated in the ?matrix? of historical experience?.
> The
> paper will explore the manner in which ?citizenship? was being framed as a
> specific legal category, through two periods of ?interregnum? or ?legal
> hiatus/vacuum? on citizenship, that is, between the formation of the
> Indian
> nation-state (1947) and the commencement of the Constitution (1950), and
> subsequently between the commencement of the Constitution (1950) and the
> Citizenship Act of India (1955). While tracing the topological terrain of
> citizenship in the moment of interregnum in the law, the paper will show
> how the experience of citizenship for that moment unfolded in
> polyrhythmous
> ways. The interregnum between the enforcement of the Constitution and the
> enactment of the Citizenship Act of 1955 was a period of indeterminate
> citizenship. Yet, it also generated spaces of liminality in the closures
> brought in by the constitutional deadline. The statutory opening up of
> the
> constitutional closures was, however, made possible through the insertion
> of distinct and differential ?categories? into citizenship, putting in
> place a differentiated and graded framework of citizenship. The paper

Fw: {ayurvedaonline_message} Asans and Pranayam

Subject: {ayurvedaonline_message} Asans and Pranayam

 

Hello All,

I have a question regarding sequence of Asan and Pranayam. I usually do
around 45 minutes Yoga including Asans and Pranayam, and I usually do
Pranayam first and then Asans. Is that the recommended way? Or one should
do Asans first and then Pranayam. What does the ancient texts say about it.

Thank you David for the referal. I will definitely utilize some of the articles as an other point of view when teaching. I am an evolutionist and see NO contradiction in the theory of evolution and the presence of God. I also see science that is not science in articles of Creationism. I see Creationist 'science' as an attempt at trying to ignore evidence and scientific method and mold -- warp -- the evidence to agree with a preconcieved solution based on fundamentalistic narrow mindedness.

Again I have no problem with God and dinosaurs (no humans involved) and the laws of survival of the fittest and the idea that man started out as one of many homanid branches of a many branched tree of primates.
