The digital revolution a key feature of globalization has extended the frontiers of the globe with a profound impact on how the world functions and interacts. Access to information and knowledge facilitated by ICTs is increasingly impacting patterns of learning cultural expression and social participation as well as providing opportunities for development. Paradoxically the information and communication society today is characterized by imbalances and inequalities christened as the digital divide. There is a growing concern the world over about the world's technological haves and have nots. At the epicenter of this alarm is the expanding chasm between those with and without access to the ICT revolution. In the backdrop of the World Summit on Information Society held in Tunisia in November 2005 the volume explores the nature and effects of information and communication technologies with particular emphasis on development programmes. Approaching ICTs as tools for social development the volume illustrates the efforts at circumventing the digital divide in the State of Kerala a distinctive developing region. The Kerala Model of development a much debated topic in the academic circles endows the state a unique position in the developmental map of the world. This scholarly attempt at documenting and analysing the e science initiatives in Kerala vis a vis development within the larger framework of the ongoing discourse on global structural changes in development and knowledge production will be of great interest to social scientists development agencies/organizations/activists e professionals and policy makers. 234 pp.

Hardcover. Condition: New. The volume is a collection of essays in Social Gerontology that opens up newer vistas of knowledge and practice in the understanding and care of the elderly from a multidisciplinary perspective. The present day society is characterized by greying and the elderly tend to be more and more marginalized as the family and society are undergoing dramatic changes. Ageing is perceived as one of the most serious issues of the globalized world and thus, caring for the ageing population has become a major concern for both the family and the State. Capturing the present-day reality of the elderly from the perspective of developing regions, the book, instead of debating on who will care for them, seeks to shift the focus on empowering and enabling them, so as to confront ageing with more grace and dignity. The volume features some of the leading scholars and researchers in gerontology from varying fields, including sociology, anthropology, psychology, demography, and medicine. The volume will help the readers to reinvent the question of ageing and the aged with greater creativity, ingenuity and graciousness. Designed as a Festschrift to Professor John Kattakayam, an eminent sociologist and a passionate scholar-cum-activist in gerontology, the book will enable the readers to revisit the concept and practice of care giving of the elderly and suggest programmes and policies that will help to empower the elderly and aid them in leading a fulfilled life.

Paperback. Condition: New. The volume revolves around the theme 'inclusive oppositions' in social sciences that address the issue of making of distinctions and create artificial dichotomies and dualistic view of society. It is set against the currents of systematic reduction of anthropodiversity and psychodiversity, which appears as a pathology of the current neo-liberalist and colonialist model of development. The volume is an attempt to overcome the colonial tendencies and forces to 'standardize' and 'homogenize' various categories and institutions in society by establishing structural relationality and intersectionality between the parts of the whole ecosystem where in the human and non-human intersect and interact.The volume brings together a unique collaboration in the field of Cultural Psychology and offers the intellectual tools to grasp how a syncretic understanding of Identity and Culture unfolds, particularly in the key domain of gender. The chapters and commentaries uncover cultural dynamics and identity formation from a specific location, the region of Kerala in south-western India. The chapters and commentaries in this volume illustrates that Kerala is a cultural micro-cosmos, in which gender, identity, religion, ethnicity, caste, global market and tradition intersect to create complex and multiple subjects that do not fit in binary categorizations.The compiled volume will be of great value to scholars, researchers and academicians in Social Sciences, particularly Cultural Psychology, Social Psychology, Sociology, Social Work, Political Science, Philosophy, Anthropology and Economics.
