A Place for Utopia: Urban Designs from South Asia Book Information:

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. ≪ br/>
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. &Nbsp;
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.
