Interpreting Politics: Situated Knowledge, India, and the Rudolph Legacy de John Echeverri-Gent

Interpreting Politics: Situated Knowledge, India, and the Rudolph Legacy

Editat de John Echeverri-Gent, Kamal Sadiq
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 mar 2021
In careers that spanned six decades, Lloyd and Susanne Rudolph's rigorous and remarkably empathetic scholarship produced seminal insights about India's politics. With a profound grasp of social science theory and Indian politics, they developed an interpretive mode of political analysis centred on the complex processes by which people construct meaning and motivation for political action.This volume's eminent authors pay tribute to the Rudolphs' scholarship by examining its contribution to their own cutting-edge research as they advance the frontiers of the study of Indian politics and social science writ large. Their engaging essays analyse how 'situated knowledge' shapes discourse, moral imagination, political strategies, and institutional change. They illuminate how the interaction of caste, class, gender, and religion structures political mobilization; how changing social and political relations affect education policy and civil-military relations; and how political leadership is forging the future of politics in India.

Recenzii

This volume brings together the best minds in the field to celebrate the scholarly legacy of Susanne and Lloyd Rudolph and advance their own novel contributions. Erudite and intelligent, the essays ought to attract the attention of specialists in Indian politics and those interested in interpretive approaches in the social sciences.
What a bounty! Stimulated by the deep intellectual legacy of two remarkable scholars and teachers, this rich harvest advances our knowledge of their cherished India while both broadening and intensifying our means as students of comparative politics. Like the Rudolphs, these essays refuse any simple binary distinguishing interpretive social science from analytical considerations of political institutions, social structures, and political economy.
This book uses deep contextual knowledge to address vital issues in comparative politics — institutions, violence, identity, class, culture and leadership. It is a fitting tribute to Lloyd and Susanne Rudolph, social scientists who demonstrated the value of situated knowledge in what they wrote and how they lived.
An invaluable demonstration of how humanistic social science can provide potent insights into the most challenging developments in India and the world today.
