- W2247457236 abstract "Despite vast amounts of research on urban poverty in developing nations, scant attention has been paid to the social processes by which newly formed slum communities' move from being mere collections of displaced people, to entities that stake claims associated with citizenship. This study seeks to fill that gap by asking: How to slum dwellers living on the outskirts of Kolkata discursively and ideologically construct their community within the context of the development state? Through interviews, observations, participation on local festivals and library research, my research shows how squatters recast traditional notions of kinship obligations, caste duties, and religious identities, in ways that attempted to forge discursive and links between themselves and other social groups. Through an imaginative process, where past experiences are cognitively re-worked in order to understand the present and plan for the future, these squatters are in the process of creating new moral communities that seek to reorganize urban social relations in a more inclusive direction. Because the idioms through which slum-dwellers couch their discourse and action are traditional, many observers, academic or otherwise, too easily dismiss of their consciousness as backwards, and out of step with modern times. Therefore the present study will move us towards a way of understanding these processes that account for the subtle semantic shifts that displacement gives rise to, the underlying social critiques that these shifts call forth, and the vernacular forms of modernity that are being created in slums, both in India, and around the world." @default.
