Résumé:
Sited on the coastal edge of the Bay of Bengal, Golconde, a dormitory for the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, India, was designed by architects Antonin Raymond and George Nakashima. Golconde is a remarkable architectural edifice, seamlessly negotiating between the tenets of early modernist architecture while addressing the pragmatic impositions of a tropical context. Espousing radical economy and uncompromising construction standards, it proposes environmental sensitivity as a foundation for the design process. Completed in 1942, Golconde was the first reinforced, cast-in-place concrete building in India and celebrates the modernist credo: architecture as the manifest union of aesthetics, technology, and social reform.

Résumé:
Les villes portuaires, véritables carrefours de la production et des échanges de biens et de services, sont en pleine phase de recomposition urbaine avec des exigences nouvelles en termes de respect des équilibres environnementaux, économiques, sociaux et culturels. Ces villes sont le lieu d'observation des tensions qui se nouent entre les contraintes économiques de la mondialisation et les attentes en matière de développement durable. Les villes portuaires au Maghreb n'échappent pas à cette double tendance. Ce travail a mobilisé une équipe interdisciplinaire, en économie, géographie, gestion et sociologie, composée d'une quinzaine de chercheurs de nationalités différentes (algérienne, française, marocaine, tunisienne). Cet ouvrage rend compte de leurs réflexions et des discussions qui se sont instaurées lors des différentes rencontres des membres de cette communauté scientifique.

Elle évoque les croyances, la morale, les habitudes, les normes mais aussi ce qui est caché: le rôle des castes et de la famille dans la mobilité sociale et dans les relations de travail, la religiosité quotidienne, la notion de temps, la ruralité en face des mégapoles, le monde des fêtes, le rapport au corps et à la sexualité, la place des femmes dans cette société patriarcale et le regard porté sur les Occidentaux.

Beset by droughts and food shortages in recent years, it is the home of the Sahariyas, former bonded laborers, officially classified as Rajasthan’s only “primitive tribe.” From afar, we might consider this the bleakest of the bleak, but in Poverty and the Quest for Life, Bhrigupati Singh asks us to reconsider just what quality of life means. He shows how the Sahariyas conceive of aspiration, advancement, and vitality in both material and spiritual terms, and how such bridging can engender new possibilities of life.
