Temporal Spaces In Calcutta - Digital Networks In The Wake Of The Pandemic

by Avishek Ray e Neha Gupta

~~60,94€~~ 54,85€ 10% OFF

 This book explores how the COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped urban spatialities through the rise of digitally mediated "temporal spaces" in Calcutta. Focusing on Uber-enabled mobility, cycling pathways, and cafes, it examines how digital infrastructures and human practices intersect to create fluid, dynamic urban experiences. Challenging fixed notions of place-making, the book interrogates what it means to "return to normal" and how digitality reconfigures urban life, sociality, and imagination. By foregrounding the entanglement of digital and material realms, it offers a critical framework for understanding contemporary urban transformations in the wake of crisis and technological mediation.Part of the Academics, Politics and Society in the Post-Covid World series, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of sociology, social anthropology, media and cultural studies, digital humanities, human geography, political sociology and postcolonial studies, and those interested in the coronavirus pandemic.

Green Academia - Towards Eco-Friendly Education Systems

by Sayan Dey

55,64€ + 10% CARD

 This book studies the importance of adopting Green Academia as a systemic long-term counter-intervention strategy against any form of impending pandemics in the post-COVID era and beyond.

The volume also explores possible ways of weaving ecology and the environment as a habitual practice of teaching and learning in an intersectional manner with Science and Technology Studies. With detailed case studies of the green schools in Bhutan and similar practices in India, Kenya, and New Zealand, the book argues for different forms of eco-friendly education systems and the possibilities of expanding these local practices to a global stage.Part of the Academics, Politics and Society in the Post-COVID World series, this book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of sociology, cultural studies, decolonial studies, education, ecology, public policy social anthropology, sustainable development, sociology of education, and political sociology.
