Participatory development in Kerala an assessment. 5. Participatory development issues and lessons. Bibliography. We define participation in development as a process of equitable and active involvement of all stakeholders in the formulation of development policies and strategies and in the analysis planning implementation monitoring and evaluation of development activities. To allow for a more equitable development process disadvantaged stake holders need to be empowered to increase their level of knowledge influence and control over their own livelihoods including development initiatives affecting them. Participation in development is also seen as an organized effort within institutions and organizations to increase stakeholder access and control over resources and related decision making that contributes to sustainable livelihoods. Participation is furthermore viewed as an iterative process involving the continuous re adjustment of relationships between different stakeholders in a society in order to increase stakeholder control and influence over development initiatives that affect their lives. Participatory approaches methods tools activities and related changes in attitudes can facilitate a more equitable and demand driven participatory development process. In order to institutionalize participation and ensure that collective action does continue after the withdrawal of a programme/project it is essential that the capacities of the stakeholders in particular local institutional arrangements are strengthened. In this respect an appropriate capacity building strategy is required to integrate relevant horizontal and vertical linkages. Participation is the key to sustainable development initiatives since it will lead to building on existing potentials and capacities a greater sense of ownership on the part of the stakeholders increased commitment to the objectives and outcomes longer term social sustainability increased self help capacities stronger and more democratic institutions and partnerships. 195 pp.…

Hardcover. Condition: New. Contents: Introduction. 1. Situating Community Narratives. 2. Textual History and Criticism of Varttamanappustakam. 3. Writing Travel and History. 4. Community History and History of Kerala. Conclusion. Bibliography. The book is a study on community narratives which hinge on the interface of travelogue and history, through which evolves an important aspect of the history of Kerala. The study illustrates the historiographical potentialities of community and travel narratives by exploring the possibilities of diverse readings of the past. Through a close scrutiny of two early narratives, Tuhfat al-Mujahidin (16th century) and Varthamanappusthakam (18th century), the author tries to unravel some of the hitherto unnoticed contours of the cultural geography of the region from which evolved the state of Kerala. And by an alternative reading of history through these narratives it is argued that the nationalist non-religious imagination of the secular was tantamount to undermining minority identities. The two texts under analysis bring out the fact that the minority identities of the sixteenth century Mappila (Muslim) and the eighteenth century Nazrani (Christian) communities were shaped by religious imagination as against the nationalist assumptions. Accordingly, it has been well argued that in the colonial context in which these identity assertions were shaped had in the process as the other not the native Hindu but the alien Portuguese. Significantly departing from the Poststructuralist assumptions of community and by resorting to the New Historicist conceptualizations, the study offers a critique of the received western notions of secularism as contra religion and establishes that the eastern tradition of secularism has always been deeply religious. The study is well-wrought within the theoretical perspective that text is historical and history textual, and exemplifies the discursive convergence of the literary and the non-literary sources which could fruitfully be used in interpretation and inquiry especially in reading the past. Kerala has ever been a site of pluralism with diverse religious and ethnic groups coexisting from early times. Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Jains and Hindus have co-existed in all their heterogeneity in this geographical space. The expressions of their identities were often results of the close associations with each other which led to cultural as well as religious responses. Much of the colonial and nationalist historiography of Kerala has had significant omissions. These narratives are discussed here as varied voices, which again, testify that history and historiography have never been homogenous. The history of Kerala is not separated from the history of India and of the world itself. A different cultural geography or oceanography connects Kerala more to Asia and Europe than to the rest of India. The presence of the earliest Christian, Muslim and Jewish communities of India in Kerala is a clear indication towards that end. The author argues that events in Kerala history were often shaped by the world at large than nationalism. (jacket).…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - O.V. Vijayan (1930-2005) was an acclaimed Malayalam novelist, short story writer, cartoonist, translator, columnist, political analyst, and public intellectual. In a literary career spanning almost half a century, he published six novels, twelve volumes of short stories, eight volumes of non-fictional prose, three volumes of reminiscences, three volumes of cartoons, and four self-translations. This book offers a comprehensive understanding of O.V. Vijayan's work by analysing his fictional and non-fictional works, cartoons, and columns, and situates him in the context of Malayalam literary culture and Indian literature at large.The volume discusses themes such as the politics of everyday life; culture, religion, and the changing nature of Indian society; struggles of a writer and thinker; the idea of socially responsive radical modernism; ecology and subculture; and the politics of self-translation. These readings explore Vijayan's legacy as an iconic figure of modernism in Malayalam fiction who reinvented its language; as an unrelenting critic of the modern nationstate and its excesses; as a post-colonial thinker; and as a visionary who transcended the binaries of the mundane and the magical, the political and the spiritual, and the premodern and the postmodern.Part of the Writer in Context series, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of Indian literature, Malayalam literature, English literature, comparative literature, postcolonial studies, cultural studies, global south studies, and translation studies.…
