Avec La Vénus de nouveau Millénium s'achève la Trilogie des Trois Vénus. Après avoir consacré le premier volume à la femme libre à la manière d'une démone et le second à la femme « normale » (mot d'ordre actuellement !), l'auteure s'interroge dans le troisième et dernier volume sur la place de la femme dans le nouveau Millénium Le livre est divisé en trois parties distinctes : dans la première le lecteur est sur l'île du Sri Lanka, dans la deuxième du côté des Comptoirs français de Pondichéry et de la « Ville de l'Aurore » et la troisième nous ramène en France. Du Sud de l'Inde on se retrouve dans le Sud de la France où l'auteure donnera une conférence sur la femme parfaite (idéale) face à un gouvernement parfait (normal) sur un fond de légende du Ramayana.
« Beaucoup d’ouvrage ont été écrit sur la ville la plus vieille au monde. Beaucoup trop peu-être, mais si je consens à écrire ce livre comme m’avait demandé tant de fois le grand homme qu’il fut Vîr Bhadra Mishra, d’une plume d’ « alien » et d’un regard d’« »outsider », c’est au prix de laisser s’échapper de moi cette lumière, qui accueille chacune de mes arrivées dans la ville sainte, à travers les mots dont on ne soupçonne jamais suffisamment le potentiel... » C’est ainsi que l’auteure - diplômée de l’EHESS (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales) de Paris (France), avec un « Advanced Hindi Diploma de la BHU (Banaras Hindu University) et le « Sanskrit Prâmana Patriya » de la SSU (Sampurnanand Sanskrit University) de Varanasi (Inde) et membre d’un cercle de Spécialistes en Ramayana (grande épopée et un des textes fondamentaux de la mythologie hindoue) - commence son ouvrage sur la « miniature indienne » blottie au pied du Gange où chaque jour des milliers de pèlerins et simples croyants viennent de partout pour se purifier dans les eaux sacrées d’un fleuve « immensément mais mal aimé ». Cet ouvrage, qui émane d’une longue expérience de l’auteure sur le sol indien, est composé de trois parties (plus des photos prises par l’auteure elle-même). La première partie donne quelques indications sur la ville sainte de Bénarès ; la seconde s’adresse au fleuve sacré, le Gange, et ses problématiques ; tandis que la troisième laisse libre cours aux ghats. La description des ghats tout en gardant une note plutôt intimiste dévoile le caractère de chaque ghat sur lequel elle s’arrête dans le but de souligner l’importance vitale du fleuve dans le quotidien des habitants de Bénarès. Il a l’ambition d’une « amoureuse » de la ville sainte et la vocation d’un plaidoyer pour le fleuve. --- ‘A lot of work has been written about the oldest city in the world, too much perhaps, but if I consent to write this book—as had asked me many times the great man Veer Bhadra Mishra, with an “alien” pen and a look of “outsider”—it is at the cost of letting it escape from me the light that welcomes each of my arrivals in the Holy City through words whose potential is never sufficiently suspected . . .’ This is how the author—who graduated from the EHESS (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales) in Paris, with an advanced diploma in Hindi from the BHU (Banaras Hindu University) and the ‘Sanskrit Prâmana Patriya’ from the SSU (Sampurnanand Sanskrit University) in Varanasi (India) and who is a member of a circle of specialists in Ramayana (great epic and one of the fundamental texts of Hindu mythology)—begins her work on the Indian miniature nestled at the foot of the Ganges where every day thousands of pilgrims and simple believers come from everywhere to purify themselves in the sacred waters of an immense but unloved river. This book, which emanates from the author’s long experience on Indian soil, is composed of three parts (plus the photographs taken by the author herself). The first part gives some indications on the Holy City of Banaras. The second addresses the sacred river, the Ganges, and its problem, while the third gives free rein to the ghats. The description of the ghats, while keeping a rather intimate note, reveals the character of each ghat on which it stops with the intention to emphasize the vital importance of the river in the daily life of the inhabitants of Banaras. It has the ambition of a ‘lover’ of the sacred city and the vocation of a plea for the river.
We are currently facing the sixth mass extinction of species in the history of life on Earth, biologists claim—the first one caused by humans. Heise argues that understanding these stories and symbols is indispensable for any effective advocacy on behalf of endangered species. More than that, she shows how biodiversity conservation, even and especially in its scientific and legal dimensions, is shaped by cultural assumptions about what is valuable in nature and what is not.
In the epic Ramayana, Sage Valmiki mentioned that when Lord Ram was born, the sun was located in Aries, saturn was in Libra, Jupiter & the moon were in Cancer, Venus was seen
Winner of the 2020 Association for Political and Legal Anthropology Book Prize Shortlisted for the Orwell Prize Shortlisted for the New India Foundation Book Prize Anthropologist Alpa Shah found herself in an active platoon of Naxalites—one of the longest-running guerrilla insurgencies in the world. The only woman, and the only person without a weapon, she walked alongside the militants for seven nights across 150 miles of dense, hilly forests in eastern India. Nightmarch is the riveting story of Shah's journey, grounded in her years of living with India’s tribal people, an eye-opening exploration of the movement’s history and future and a powerful contemplation of how disadvantaged people fight back against unjust systems in today’s world. The Naxalites have fought for a communist society for the past fifty years, caught in a conflict that has so far claimed at least forty thousand lives. Yet surprisingly little is known about these fighters in the West. Framed by the Indian state as a deadly terrorist group, the movement is actually made up of Marxist ideologues and lower-caste and tribal combatants, all of whom seek to overthrow a system that has abused them for decades. In Nightmarch, Shah shares some of their gritty untold stories: here we meet a high-caste leader who spent almost thirty years underground, a young Adivasi foot soldier, and an Adivasi youth who defected. Speaking with them and living for years with villagers in guerrilla strongholds, Shah has sought to understand why some of India’s poor have shunned the world’s largest democracy and taken up arms to fight for a fairer society—and asks whether they might be undermining their own aims. By shining a light on this largely ignored corner of the world, Shah raises important questions about the uncaring advance of capitalism and offers a compelling reflection on dispossession and conflict at the heart of contemporary India.
