Paperback. Condición: Good. Exploring several utopian imaginaries and practices, A Place for Utopia ties different times together from the early twentieth century to the present, the biographical and the anthropological, the cultural and the conjunctional, South Asia, Europe, and North America. It charts the valency of "utopia" for understanding designs for alternative, occluded, vernacular, or emergent urbanisms in the last hundred years. Central to the designs for utopia in this book are the themes of gardens, children, spiritual topographies, death, and hope. From the vitalist urban plans of the Scottish polymath Patrick Geddes in India to the Theosophical Society in Madras and the ways in which it provided a context for a novel South Indian garden design; from the visual, textual, and ritual designs of Californian Vedanta from the 1930s to the present; to the spatial transformations associated with post-1990s highways and rapid transit systems in Bangalore that are shaping an emerging ?Indian New Age? of religious and somatic self-styling, Srinivas tells the story of contrapuntal histories, the contiguity of lives, and resonances between utopian worlds that are generative of designs for cultural alternatives and futures.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Introduction: placing timelines. 1. Biocentric Eutopias in South Asia. 2. Ecotopias, theosophy and the South Indian city. 3. Utopian settlements and Californian Vedanta. 4. Highways, thresholds, and an Indian new age. Conclusion: designing and dwelling in place. References. Index. A Place for Utopia is firmly rooted in a South Asian context but links questions and discussions of its urbanism, religion, pasts and futures to a global milieu and history. The volume blends ethnographic, visual, and archival methods and uses various ideas of utopia for social science analysis that can productively open up new intellectual spaces, other histories, and urban policies. It moves across a hundred year period of South Asian modernity and its challenges from the early twentieth century to the early twenty-first century. Central to the designs for utopia in this book are the themes of gardens, children, spiritual topographies, death and hope. From the vitalist urban plans of the Scottish polymath Patrick Geddes in India to the Theosophical Society in Madras and the ways in which it provided a context for a novel South Indian garden design; from the visual, textual and ritual designs of Californian Vedanta from the 1930s to the present to the spatial transformations associated with post-1990s highway and rapid transit systems in Bangalore that are shaping an emerging Indian New Age of religious and somatic self-styling, Srinivas tells the story of contrapuntal histories, the contiguity of lives, and resonances between utopian worlds that is generative of designs for cultural alternatives and futures. This book will be of considerable interest to students and scholars of urban studies, anthropology, religion, geography, sociology, philosophy, South Asian studies, design, history and cultural studies.…

The Sai Baba movement centred on the Indian Guru Sathya Sai Baba (b.1926) today attracts a global following from Japan to South Africa. Regarded as a divine incarnation Sathya Sai Baba traces his genealogy to Shirdi Sai Baba (d.1918) a mendicant in colonial India identified with various Sufi and devotional traditions. The movement thus has roots in Shirdi Sai Baba but as it globalizes it has developed conjunctions with other religious traditions new religious movements and new age ideas. This book offers an account of the Sai Baba movement as a pathway for charting the varied cartographies sensory formations and cultural memories implicated in urbanization and globalization. It traverses the terrain between social theories for the study of religion and cities themselves a product of modernity and the radical creative and unexpected modernity of contemporary religious movements. It is based on ethnographic research carried out in India Kenya and the United States of America. 404 pp.…
