This fact drew his attention to the endless variety of doors that seemed to act as a boundary between the familiar and unfamiliar. The fruits of his investigation are(...)

Aujourd'hui encore, l'or des Incas, les ruines mystérieuses de leurs cités et le mythe d'un empire juste et bienveillant nourrissent le rêve des voyageurs. Aux alentours de 1400 de notre ère, alors que la partie andine de l'Amérique du Sud est morcelée en de multiples royaumes et seigneuries, un petit peuple montagnard, les Incas, se lance dans une suite de conquêtes qui(...)

L'empire inca représente l'étape ultime du développement d'une civilisation très ancienne, celle du Pérou antique, que son isolement, jusqu'à la conquête espagnole, a rendue particulièrement originale.

Summary:
In this anthropological history, Mary E. Hancock examines the politics of public memory in the southern Indian city of Chennai. Once a colonial port, Chennai is now poised to become a centre for India's "new economy" of information technology, export processing, and back-office services. State and local governments promote tourism and a heritage-conscious cityscape to make Chennai a recognizable "brand" among investment and travel destinations. Using a range of textual, visual, architectural, and ethnographic sources, Hancock grapples with the question of how people in Chennai remember and represent their past, considering the political and economic contexts and implications of those memory practices. Working from specific sites, including a historic district created around an ancient Hindu temple, a living history museum, neo-traditional and vernacular architecture, and political memorials, Hancock examines the spatialization of memory under the conditions of neo-liberalism.

In Imagining the Urban, Shonaleeka Kaul turns to Sanskrit literature to discover the characteristics—both physical and social—of ancient Indian cities. Kaul examines nearly a thousand years of Sanskrit kvyas to see what India’s early historic cities were like as living, lived-in, entities—and discovers that the cities were vibrant and teeming with variety and life.

Summary:
In Imagining the Urban, Shonaleeka Kaul turns to Sanskrit literature to discover the characteristics—both physical and social—of ancient Indian cities. Kaul examines nearly a thousand years of Sanskrit kvyas to see what India’s early historic cities were like as living, lived-in, entities—and discovers that the cities were vibrant and teeming with variety and life. As much about Sanskrit literature as about urban spaces—insofar as that literature reveals significant aspects of the Indian urban past— Imagining the Urban shows that Sanskrit literature is a rich source for historical understanding. Advocating the kvyas as an important historical source, this book shows distinctive ways of thought and behavior that relate to tradition, morality, and authority. With its provocative new questions about early Indian cities and ancient Indian texts, this book will be an essential read for scholars of urban history, Sanskrit writings, and South Asian antiquity.
