In this exploration of the meaning of home, Annie Zaidi reflects on the places in India from which she derives her sense of identity. She looks back on the now renamed city of her birth and the impossibility of belonging in the industrial township where she grew up. From her ancestral village, in a region notorious for its gangsters, to the mega-city where she now lives, Zaidi provides a nuanced perspective on forging a sense of belonging as a minority and a migrant in places where other communities consider you an outsider, and of the fragility of home left behind and changed beyond recognition. Zaidi is the 2019/ 2020 winner of the Nine Dots Prize for creative thinking that tackles contemporary social issues. This title is also available as Open Access.

Die Paniyas sind eine relativ grosse indische Ethnie von Reisbauern und Landarbeitern, die das Wynad-Plateau von Kerala (56.952 Personen nach dem Census of India 1981) und den sich daran anschliessenden Nilgiris District von Tamilnadu (6.393 Personen nach dem Census of India 1981) bewohnen. Zu den traditionellen Beschaftigungen der Paniyas zahlten und zahlen in manchen abgelegenen Gegenden noch immer das Sammeln von Honig, Knollen, Fruchten, Heilkrautern, Baumharzen u.a., Jagen, Fischen und Brandrodungsbau. Jahrhundertelang wurden sie als Landarbeiter von den Landbesitzern in Knechtschaft gehalten und ausgebeutet ; daher ihr Name Paniya "Arbeiter". Sie sprechen eine drawidische, tamiloide Sprache mit starken Malayalam-Einflussen. Die Paniyas gehoren zu jenen ethnischen Volksgruppen Sudindiens, fur die eine grundliche ethnographische Studie immer noch ein Desideratum ist. Dieter B. Kapp legt nun erstmals eine detaillierte Beschreibung ihrer Sprache vor. Die Grammatik, Textproben und das ausfuhrliche etymologische Worterbuch basieren auf Materialien, die der Autor im Verlauf von linguistischen Feldforschungen unter Paniyas des Nilgiris District (Gudalur Taluk), Tamilnadu, zusammengetragen hat

"I define 'philosophy' as the attempt to explain systematically, and without relying on superhuman agency, the fundamental features of the universe and the place of human beings in it. This is not the only possible definition, but is the most revealing one for our period, in which we find the advent of 'philosophy' (or something very like it) in Greece, India, and China, and nowhere else"--

Les arts naissent, se développent, traversent des crises suivies de renouvellement, vieillissent et meurent. Toute une vie, beaucoup plus complexe que ne le laisseraient supposer les schémas tout faits - archaïsme, classicisme, baroque, décadence - se révèle à qui en étudie minutieusement l’évolution. C’est elle que s’efforce de découvrir la méthode présentée dans ce cahier. Cette méthode, qui a permis en particulier de retracer l’histoire des arts khmer et cham, a été utilisée et perfectionnée, sinon découverte, par Philippe Stern et l’équipe qu’il a dirigée au Musée Guimet de Paris. Elle est ici étudiée d’abord en elle-même et illustrée d’exemples empruntés aux arts de l’Inde, et de l’Asie du Sud-Est (travaux de Philippe Stern sur les colonnes d’Ajanṭā et d’Ellora, sur le Bayon d’Angkor, sur l’art cham). Deux articles en montrent ensuite l’application : Claudine Picron établit une chronologie détaillée et sûre des stèles Pāla-Sena et Philippe Stern montre tout ce que peut révéler l’étude d’un motif aussi limité que la colonnette khmère.

"This is the first book fully dedicated to Indian philosophical doxography. It examines the function such dialectical texts were intended to serve in the intellectual and religious life of their public. It looks at Indian doxography both as a witness of inter and intra sectarian dialogues, and as a religious phenomenon. It argues that doxographies represent dialectical exercises, indicative of a peculiar religious attitude to plurality, and locate these 'exercises' within a known form of 'yoga' dedicated to the cultivation of 'knowledge' or 'gnosis' (jñāna). Concretely, the book presents a critical examination of three Sanskrit doxographies: the Madhyamakahṛdayakārikā of the Buddhist Bhāviveka, the Ṣaḍdarśanasamuccaya of the Jain Haribhadra, and the Sarvasiddhāntasaṅgraha attributed to the Advaitin Śaṅkara, focusing on each of their respective presentation of the Mīmāṃsā view. It is the first time that the genre of doxography is considered beyond its literary format to ponder its performative dimension, as a spiritual exercise. Theoretically broad, the book reaches out to academics in Religious Studies, Indian Philosophy, Indology, and Classical Studies"--Provided by publisher.
