- W4384697487 abstract "My research contributes to the fields of Politics of Visibility and visual culture, as well as material politics or the ‘politics of things’ and infrastructure. I build on the suggestion that visibility is a category of inquiry for the social sciences, not to be simply conflated with either social recognition or control and discipline. From this premise, I examine the various registers of visibility, and how they intersect with the politics of physical objects and infrastructures in the lived experiences of informal settlement activists in Mumbai. I use the language of assemblages to describe the web of human and nonhuman actors involved in activist organizing. My three core arguments emphasize the centrality of a Politics of Visibility in the activism context in Mumbai. Activists’ main role is to direct visibility; this is the common thread connecting activists’ activities. Activism is not a calculated attempt to gain resource access. It is a chance to be seen differently. Activist belonging is attached to performative demands which open activist leadership to the criticism that the performance in fact might hinder the stated intentions of the movement; if the need to be seen as a ‘good activist’ were set aside, could new spaces open for actually accessing scarce resources? This examination centres on ethnographic fieldwork conducted over approximately 18 months in Mumbai, including interviews and conversations with government, non-governmental, and private sector actors, as well as many activists living inside and outside of informal settlements. I worked with the activist organization Slum Community Action Foundation (SCAF) headed by Vithal Chavan and the much larger, well-established social movement Ghar Bachao Ghar Banao Andolan (GBGBA) under the leadership of Medha Patkar." @default.
