Dipesh Chakrabarty is currently the Lawrence A. Kimpton Distinguished Service Professor in History, South Asian Languages and Civilizations, and the College in the Department of History. Chakrabarty's current students in History and SALC work on a variety of topics, including: 20th-century Kerala, prostitution in British India, India-China relations in the 1950s, modern Islam in Bangladeshi history, and youth culture in colonial Bengal, among other subjects. Professor Chakrabarty talks about his career path and how he became a University of Chicago professor.

‘'Avrupa'nın taşralaştırılması” düşüncesi Avrupa'nın yerel tarihinin evrensel bir tasarım olma özelliğini kaybetmesi tespitine dayanmaktadır. Dikkatli okurlar bu cümlede iki önemli yazarın izini fark edecektir. Dipesh Chakrabarty ve Walter Mignalo'nun bu yöndeki fikirlerinin zaman geçtikçe daha çok tartışılacağını tahmin ediyorum. Aslında Habermas olayını tam da bu çerçevede ele almamız gerekiyor. Habermas yalnız değildi. Avrupa evrenselciliğine gönül vermiş diğer çok meşhur feylesoflar da İsrail'in vahşetini açıkça desteklediler. Onların evrensel tasarımları da bütün dünyada yankı uyandırıyordu. Fakat Gazze'den sonra bahsi geçen feylesofların ve benzerlerinin taşralı nitelikleri çok daha bariz bir şekilde görülmeye başlandı. Bu taşralılık kavramını romantik eğilimleri yansıtacak bir anlam genişliğinde kullandığımı ifade etmek isterim. Avrupa düşüncesinin evrenselliğine dair kuşkuların kolay dillendirilmediği dönemlerden sonra İngiltere, Almanya, Hollanda ve Fransa'nın İsrail'in vahşetine ortak olmak için adeta yarışması bütün dünya için şaşırtıcıydı. Görüntüyü kurtarma ihtiyacını dahi hissetmediler. Muhtemelen büyük çoğunluk Batı evrenselciliğinin bir yanılsama olduğu gerçeğinin bu kadar kısa bir zamanda ortaya çıkacağına ihtimal vermezdi. Gerçekliğin bu şekilde tezahür etmesinden sonra “hangi batı” sorusunu tekrar sormaktan ziyade “Batı ve Avrupa nedir ve kimlerden oluşmaktadır” sorusunu sormak gerekiyor. Latinler, Anglosaksonlar, Germenler gibi daha mahallî gerçekliklerle karşılaştık. Bu yeni fiilî durum Batı dışında çarpıcı sonuçlar doğuracaktır. İsrail'in de onlardan birinin ya da birkaçının uzantısından ibaret olması “Avrupa” merkezli birçok meselenin yeniden ele alınmasını zorunlu hâle getirecek. Yaklaşık iki yüz yıl Batı meselesiyle uğraşan bizler için özellikle Anglosakson dünyada meydana gelen olayları kavramak zor olacak. Nitekim daha şimdiden bu yeni gerçeklikle ilgili asıl bölünmüşlük Batı dışında yaşanmaktadır. Anglosaksonlar, Germenler, Normanlar ve diğerlerinin kendi aralarında bu yeni gerçeklik dolayısıyla bölünme yaşadıklarına dair herhangi bir ipucu gözükmüyor. Onlar yeniden taşra özleminin ve kırsal heyecanların peşinde koşarak neoromantik fikirlerde uzlaşacaklardır. Bu onlara arınma imkânı bile sunacaktır. Fakat iki yüz yıl boyunca Batı'ya yaslanmanın ağır sonuçlarıyla hesaplaşmak en azından bizim için kolay olmayacak. “Filistinliler de topraklarını sattı” iftirasını sıradan bir cümle olarak geçiştirmemek gerekir. Hamid Dabaşi'nin “Middle East Eye”da yayımlanan “Thanks to Gaza, European philosophy has been exposed as ethically bankrupt” (Gazze sayesinde Avrupa felsefesinin etik açıdan iflas ettiği ortaya çıktı) başlıklı yazısında benzer fikirler öne çıkıyor. Dabaşi'nin şu cümleleri oldukça önemli: “Habermas'ın tutumunun,

Entretien avec Dipesh Chakrabarty, historien indien, initiateur de la pensée décoloniale. Son dernier ouvrage Après le changement climatique, penser l'histoire (Gallimard, 2023) a été nommé pour le Prix du livre environnement 2023 de la fondation Veolia. Le concept d'anthropocène représente une notion clé pour penser le temps de l'Histoire naturelle et le temps de l'Histoire humaine. En effet, ces deux échelles de temps ne forment plus qu'un seul et même mouvement, nous dit Dipesh Chakrabarty. Un mouvement qui nous éloigne de la globalisation et nous rapproche du planétaire :  « D'après le consensus général, le siècle dernier a été celui de la globalisation, de l'âge du global. Mais en tant qu'historien, j'ai commencé à dire : « non, on arrive désormais à l'âge du planétaire. » On n'est plus seulement global, car la globalisation a été anthropocentrique : c'est l'histoire des humains, uniquement. Aujourd'hui, c'est l'histoire des humains, et de la planète ! Et la planète implique des processus géologiques et biologiques qui créent le système vital de la planète. On impact ce système, donc on crée du danger pour nous-mêmes. » Entretien et mise en ondes : Simon Beyrand / Sound design : JFF / Illustration : Belen Fernandez – Olelala *Abonnez-vous à ce podcast* Newsletter : https://podcast.ausha.co/radio-recyclerie?s=1 Apple podcast : https://apple.co/3qnVJaJ Spotify : https://spoti.fi/3dfJDg8 Deezer : https://www.deezer.com/fr/show/395812 Et retrouvez Radio REcyclerie sur : https://www.larecyclerie.com/podcasts/

the near universal disappearance of shared social enterprise: the ruling class builds walls and lunar shuttles, while the rest of us contend with the atrophy of institutional integrity and the utter abdication of providing even minimal shelter from looming disaster. The irony of the Anthropocene era is that, in a neoliberal culture of the self, it is forcing us to consider ourselves as a collective again. For those of us who are not wealthy enough to start a colony on Mars or isolate ourselves from the world, the Anthropocene ends the fantasy of sheer individualism and worldlessness once and for all. It introduces a profound sense of time and events after the so-called "end of history" and an entirely new approach to solidarity. How to Live at the End of the World: Theory, Art, and Politics for the Anthropocene (Stanford UP, 2022) is a hopeful exploration of how we might inherit the name "Anthropocene," renarrate it, and revise our way of life or thought in view of it. In his book on time, art, and politics in an era of escalating climate change, Holloway takes up difficult, unanswered questions in recent work by Donna Haraway, Kathryn Yusoff, Bruno Latour, Dipesh Chakrabarty, and Isabelle Stengers, sketching a path toward a radical form of democracy―a zoocracy, or, a rule of all of the living. Travis Holloway is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at SUNY Farmingdale and a poet and former Goldwater Fellow in Creative Writing at NYU. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel.

Die Menschen leben wie kleine Parasiten auf der Erde: Sie saugen die Natur aus, mit fatalen Folgen. Der indische Historiker Dipesh Chakrabarty fordert darum radikales Umdenken, weg von der menschlichen Perspektive. Yves Bossart spricht mit ihm über Bakterien, Biodiversität und Bagger. Der indische Historiker Dipesh Chakrabarty spricht lieber von der «Bewohnbarkeit der Erde» als von «Nachhaltigkeit». Er plädiert für eine Dezentrierung des Menschen in der Natur und für ein Denken in unmenschlichen Zeiträumen. Schliesslich sei der Mensch im «Anthropozän» längst zur bestimmenden Kraft des Planeten geworden: Jeden Tag sterben etwa 150 Arten aus – Tiere, Pflanzen und Mikroorganismen. Überschwemmungen, Waldbrände und Dürren bedrohen den Lebensraum nicht nur von Menschen. Die Folgen sind Migration, Kriege, Ressourcenknappheit. Chakrabarty argumentiert, dass der Klimawandel eine neue Ära der menschlichen Geschichte eingeleitet hat, die er als «planetarisches Zeitalter» bezeichnet. Seine Forderung: Wir müssen ganz neu über den Menschen und die Natur nachdenken, wenn wir als Spezies eine Zukunft haben wollen. Wie das geht, darüber spricht er mit Yves Bossart.

Recorded November 10, 2022 Responding to the devastation of the First World War, in 1922 T.S. Eliot wrote of showing us ‘fear in a handful of dust', in his monumental poem, The Waste Land. On the centenary of the poem's first full publication, this Behind the Headlines discussion confronts the ecological devastation of contemporary global landscapes, and ask: does the creative imagining of landscape ruination, destruction, and even apocalypse amount to effective protest? In this panel, we hear from award-winning Irish filmmaker Neasa Hardiman; Cathriona Russell, Assistant Professor, Trinity School of Religion; Yairen Jerez Columbié, Assistant Professor, Trinity School of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies; and Conor Brennan, PhD candidate in Trinity's Department of Germanic Studies. They discuss whether the aesthetic depiction of waste lands – in art, film, or literature – prompt us to action, or simply to despair. The postcolonial theorist Dipesh Chakrabarty has written that ‘[T]he crisis of climate change calls on academics to rise above their disciplinary prejudices, for it is a crisis of many dimensions' (The Climate of History in a Planetary Age, 2021). In responding to this call, how can the Arts and Humanities best mobilise their resources to address the climate crisis, and what role does the imagination play in this task?

“Avrupa'yı Taşralaştırmak” Dipesh Chakrabarty'nin bir kitabı. Bu kitap ilk olarak 2012'de Boğaziçi Üniversitesi Yayınevi tarafından basılmış. Dergâh Yayınları bu yıl içinde aynı kitabı ikinci defa basmış. Yazar Hintli bir tarihçi. “Avrupa'yı Taşralaştırmak Postkolonyal Düşünce ve Tarihsel Farklılık” kitabın tam adı. Kitabın adının ilgi çekici olduğunu söylemeliyim. Küreselleşme ve evrensellik kavramlarının merkezinde yer alan bir Avrupa fikrine alışkın olduğumuz için “taşra” kavramının yadırgatıcı bulunacağını kabul ediyorum. Buna rağmen Dipesh Chakrabarty'nin “Avrupa'yı Taşralaştırmak” adlı kitabını gündeme almak gerektiğini düşünüyorum.

Das Zeitalter des Anthropozäns zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass der Mensch zu einem bedeutenden Einflussfaktor auf biologische und geologische Entwicklungen der Weltgeschichte geworden ist. Tiefgreifend haben die Menschen in die natürlichen Kreisläufe eingegriffen. Immer mehr begreifen wir, wie umfassend diese Eingriffe sind und wie sehr sie den Planeten verändern. Die Bewohnbarkeit der Erde steht in Frage: nicht nur für Menschen, sondern auch für alle anderen Spezies: Tiere, Pflanzen, Bakterien, Viren. Für die kommenden Jahrtausende haben die Menschen das Klima und die Meere verändert, durch die Vernichtung von hunderttausenden Pflanzen- und Tierarten in die evolutionären Dynamiken eingegriffen. Nicht nur Menschen flüchten, sondern auch Tiere und Pflanzen. Aufgrund der gesellschaftlichen Praktiken kommen heute die Geschichte des Planeten, des Lebens auf der Erde und die Geschichte der Menschheit zusammen. Das bedeutet der Ausdruck des Anthropozäns. Über den Ausdruck gibt es Streit, denn in Frage steht, ob es die Menschen im Allgemeinen sind oder nicht eher die kapitalistische Produktionsweise oder noch spezifischer der Kapitalismus seit den 1950er Jahren. Dipesh Chakrabarty will das nicht entscheiden, aber bei aller Bedachtsamkeit ist er an diesem Punkt sehr klar: Der Kapitalismus zerstört die Lebensbedingungen der Menschen auf der Erde. Nachdenklich überlegt er, dass unsere Vorstellungen von Freiheit und Politik weit hinter den Herausforderungen zurückgeblieben sind. Als Historiker ist er skeptisch, ob die Menschheit es schaffen kann, sich als Teil des Lebensnetzes zu begreifen und als handelndes Kollektiv zu konstituieren. Gleichwohl betont er die Notwendigkeit, zu einer Steuerung der Natur zu gelangen und glaubt, dass die Menschheit das Beste noch vor sich hat.

Wie müssen wir das menschliche Denken und Leben angesichts der Klimakrise zukünftig gestalten? Mit dieser Frage beschäftigt sich der indische Historiker Dipesh Chakrabart. Seine Sicht auf den Klimawandel ist nun in dem Band "Das Klima der Geschichte im planetarischen Zeitalter" nachzulesen. Eine Rezension von Jörg Magenau.

This week we hear from Dipesh Chakrabarty, the Lawrence A. Kimpton Distinguished Service Professor in History at the University of Chicago. Dipesh is one of the most important historians of the past few decades. In the last few years, he has turned his attention to the Anthropocene: the idea that human actions have caused such a disruption to planetary systems that we have entered a new geological epoch. In his latest book, The Climate of History in a Planetary Age, published by Chicago University Press in 2021, he argues that climate change has changed ideas of history, modernity, and globalization.

We're joined by Dipesh Chakrabarty, Professor of History and author of The Climate of History in a Planetary Age, for a conversation on his intellectual trajectory and the idea of the planetary. Speaking on the climate crisis and the human condition, Dipesh states that “unless we realise our geological agency and the geomorphological role we play that is changing the landscape of the planet, we won't realise the depth of the predicament that we're in.” Transcript: www.ucl.ac.uk/racism-racialisation/transcript-conversation-dipesh-chakrabarty This conversation was recorded on 13th June 2021Speakers: Ashish Ghadiali, Activist-in-Residence, UCL Sarah Parker Remond Centre // Dipesh Chakrabarty, Lawrence A.

In April 1955, twenty-nine countries from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East came together for a diplomatic conference in Bandung, Indonesia, intending to define the direction of the postcolonial world. Ostensibly representing two-thirds of the world's population, the Bandung conference occurred during a key moment of transition in the mid-twentieth century—amid the global wave of decolonization that took place after the Second World War and the nascent establishment of a new Cold War world order in its wake. Participants such as Jawaharlal Nehru of India, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, Zhou Enlai of China, and Sukarno of Indonesia seized this occasion to attempt the creation of a political alternative to the dual threats of Western neocolonialism and the Cold War interventionism of the United States and the Soviet Union. The essays collected in Making a World After Empire: The Bandung Moment and Its Political Afterlives (Ohio University Press) explore the diverse repercussions of this event, tracing diplomatic, intellectual, and sociocultural histories that ensued as well as addressing the broader intersection of postcolonial and Cold War history. With a new foreword by Vijay Prashad and a new preface by the editor, Christopher Lee, Making a World After Empire speaks to contemporary discussions of decolonization, Third Worldism, and the emergence of the Global South, thus reestablishing the conference's importance in twentieth-century global history. Contributors: Michael Adas, Laura Bier, James R. Brennan, G. Thomas Burgess, Antoinette Burton, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Julian Go, Christopher J. Lee, Jamie Monson, Jeremy Prestholdt, and Denis M. Tull.

In April 1955, twenty-nine countries from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East came together for a diplomatic conference in Bandung, Indonesia, intending to define the direction of the postcolonial world. Ostensibly representing two-thirds of the world’s population, the Bandung conference occurred during a key moment of transition in the mid-twentieth century—amid the global wave of decolonization that took place after the Second World War and the nascent establishment of a new Cold War world order in its wake. Participants such as Jawaharlal Nehru of India, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, Zhou Enlai of China, and Sukarno of Indonesia seized this occasion to attempt the creation of a political alternative to the dual threats of Western neocolonialism and the Cold War interventionism of the United States and the Soviet Union. The essays collected in Making a World After Empire: The Bandung Moment and Its Political Afterlives (Ohio University Press) explore the diverse repercussions of this event, tracing diplomatic, intellectual, and sociocultural histories that ensued as well as addressing the broader intersection of postcolonial and Cold War history.

"Queremos pôr em prática um pensamento utópico, entendido como energia e força de Insurreição, como presença e como convite para sonhos emancipatórios, como gesto de ruptura: ousar pensar para além do que se apresenta como “natural”, “pragmático”, “razoável”. Não queremos construir uma comunidade utópica, mas restaurar toda a sua força criativa em Sonhos de insubmissão e resistência, justiça e liberdade, felicidade e bondade, amizade e encantamento". Este é um trecho de “Manifest de L’atelier IV, performance e curadoria de Françoise Vergé, realizado em 2017 e apresentado pela autora em seu livro “Um feminismo decolonial” de 2020. Estas rupturas que a autora cita são idealizadas por muitas outras autoras e autores há alguns anos, dentro dos debates decoloniais e pós-coloniais. No bate papo deste podcast, vamos falar como esses debates são organizados e como estão presentes no pensamento geográfico.

Critical Zones | Streamingfestival The exhibition »Critical Zones – Observatories for Earthly Politics« is about the critical situation of the Earth. Due to the Coronavirus it is also taking place at a critical time. A new Earth policy also requires a new exhibition policy: We are broadcasting! On May 22, 2020 the exhibition opened with a Streaming Festival lasting several days, which spanned the weekend of May 22–24, 2020. The program consisted of streamed guided tours through the virtual spaces as well as through the real, but not publicly accessible exhibition, and will include interviews and lectures. /// Die Ausstellung »Critical Zones – Horizonte einer neuen Erdpolitik« über die kritische Situation der Erde fällt durch die Corona-Krise in eine kritische Zeit.

Hello! We’re back. Sorry we’re late, but we’re back now, to discuss THE YEARS OF RICE AND SALT, book-by-book. We recommend you read this book through once already if you’ve never read it before for its own pleasures. It’s a great, great, great book that you should just read and delight in. Then tune into our commentary for a re-read, which I assume is what a lot of you are doing. And in advance, thank you for listening! Matt apologizes in advance for his complete ignorance about Buddhism. “Awake to Emptiness” follows Bold Bardash and his adventures with the slave eunuch Kyu. Matt and Hilary talk about this book’s mode of narration, its unique mixture of materialism and spiritualism, and the way that, from the perspective of someone who has been raised in America in the American education system, it completely defamiliarizes the reader as regards world history and geography. Matt and Hilary compare this to the Mars books a bit and we talk about the patterns of subjectivity that emerge between characters. Characters appear not as monadic individuals, but rather as being produced in and through networks of relations that are both social and, in this case, cosmic. We talk alternate history, provincializing Europe (shout-out to Dipesh Chakrabarty), and the way the book reveals that what we understand to be modernity has in fact been produced to a significant extent in places that are not Europe and by peoples who are not European. And, of course, we return to the structure of feeling. For tons of more info and analysis of this book, see the kimstanleyrobinson.info page, which also has a key to what the characters represent. Our method of reading is to find the text’s pleasures and discuss its mysteries without thinking that the only (or main) goal of reading is to uncover an author’s intent. For us, texts should remain open to readerly interpretation, and giving some kind of authoritative account about what the meaning of the novel “really” is tends to be limiting. BUT all that said, the kimstanleyrobinson.info page has invaluable information and we’ll probably rely on it at various points during this season. Thank you for listening!

In this edition of UCHRI’s Talkbits on civil war, Dipesh Chakrabarty reflects on the politics of survival, flourishing, and postcolonial worldmaking in a time of accelerated planetary destruction.

Postcolonial Perspectives on a Revolutionary Concept Podiumsdiskussion mit Prof. Dipesh Chakrabarty (University of Chicago) Moderation: Felix Fiedler [English below] Der indische Historiker Dipesh Chakrabarty ist einer der profiliertesten Theoretiker postkolonialer Kritik. In Europa wurde vor allem seine Studie “Provincializing Europe” breit diskutiert. Chakrabarty untersucht darin, wie “Europa im historischen Wissen als stillschweigender Maßstab fungiert”: Die politischen Begriffe und Bilder des “alten Kontinents” beherrschen noch immer den globalen Diskurs, und schreiben so die koloniale und imperialistische Macht Europas fort: Gemessen am europäischen Standard von Bürgerlichkeit, Aufklärung, Liberalismus, Staat und Kapitalismus erscheinen nicht-europäische Gesellschaften meist als defizitär und zurückgeblieben. ___ RETHINKING WORKING CLASS Postcolonial Perspectives on a Revolutionary Concept Key note and discussion with Dipesh Chakrabarty (University of Chicago) Indian historian Dipesh Chakrabarty is one of the leading exponents proponents of postcolonial critique. In Europe, he is most widely known for his book “Provincializing Europe”. The study investigates how the “old continent” served as a “silent referent in historical knowledge”: European political theory and imagery still dominate the global discourse, he argues, thus perpetuating Europe’s colonial and imperialist supremacy. Against the implicit European standard of modernity – of republicanism, liberalism statehood and capitalism – all non-European societies appear deficient and backward. Does this criticism also apply to the concept of class – the focus of this year’s Marx Autumn School? For Marx, as for the socialist regimes of the 20th century, class division was the fundamental source of contention within any given society. Liberation had to be achieved through class struggle. Yet as a dogma, the primacy of class itself became a tool of suppression. It reenforced the hegemony of the state socialist party apparatus and obscured other modes of domination beyond the stereotypical “contradiction of capital and labor”: colonial exploitation, nationalism, racism, antisemitism, patriarchal gender regimes, and other ideologies of inequality. Since the 60s and 70s, poststructuralist and postcolonial authors have highlighted those very modes of subjugation, citing conceptual and political shortcomings of orthodox Marxism. The collapse of state socialism after 1989/90 has given this criticism a new spin: While deepening social divisions, the triumph of neoliberal capitalism has further deteriorated any notion of class. And there seems to be no prospect of a new theoretical and political synthesis. Under these problematic premises, Dipesh Chakrabarty embarks on a new reading of the once revolutionary concept of class.

As 2018 draws to a close, this week on TFS we bring you a special ‘End of Year' message from our own Ian Pollock, Julia Brown, Simon Theobald and Jodie-Lee Trembath. This past year has been an incredible one for us, with 27 podcast episodes and almost 60 blog posts. We have touched on topics ranging from dog-spotting to decolonisation, ethnographic practice to trade agreements. We've released interviews with Annie McCarthy, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Elizabeth Watt, Ghassan Hage, Vijayendra Rao, Cris Shore, Brad Weiss, Mick Dodson, Steve Woolgar, Kim Fortun, Katerina Teaiwa, and Deborah Heath. We've hosted special guest panellists Justine Chambers, Stephanie Betz,  Saidalavi Thodika, Liam Gammon, Sana Ashraf, Bruma Rios-Mendoza, Patrick McCartney, Esteban Gomez and Carie Little Hersh. We've released podcasts in both Thai and Indonesian, have one coming soon in French, and would like to continue producing episodes in other languages. We've recorded interviews at conferences in multiple countries, including the 4S Conference in Sydney, the AAA Conference in California, and the AAS Conference in Cairns. These experiences allow us to grow as we learn from and share knowledge with others – something that is very important to us. This year has seen the expansion of our team. Thanks to the help of our amazing interns, Alisa Asmalovskaya and Alina Rizvi, we were able to start adding transcriptions to some of our podcast episodes - stay tuned, there's an entire back catalogue of episodes still to be done. Having Alisa and Alina involved has been invaluable and we are happy to now welcome Alisa as our new international talent scout. Ian is stepping down from his role as Executive Producer (don't worry - he'll still be with us!) and Deanna Catto and Matthew Phung have joined our Executive Team. We'll also be introducing some new members in the social media management space in 2019. We'd also like to welcome our new regular contributors to our blog: Esther Anderson from the University of Southern Queensland, Holly Walters from Brandeis University and Stephanie Betz from the Australian National University -- if you'd like your name added to that list, let us know! Finally, we'll soon be starting a new project … so keep an eye out for more exciting things happening in 2019! While the other Familiar Strangers are working hard to finish their theses, we'd like to congratulate Dr Julia Brown (how awesome is that title!) for completing her PhD, and Matthew and Deanna for graduating from their Undergraduate Bachelor's Degrees – all in December! If you've recently graduated, a HUGE congratulations to you, too. Woohoo! Finally, we'd like to give a massive shout out to everyone who has contributed to TFS and thank all the listeners of our podcast and readers of our blog for your ongoing support. 2019 will be another big year for TFS and we look forward to seeing you again then. Until then though... KEEP TALKING STRANGE! This anthropology podcast is supported by the Australian Anthropological Society, the ANU's College of Asia and the Pacific and College of Arts and Social Sciences, and the Australian Centre for the Public Awareness of Science, and is produced in collaboration with the American Anthropological Association.

“Doing history ideally is like doing anthropology of people who are gone, except that you don't have native informants, you only have these written fragmentary sources. But the same hermeneutic struggle goes on: you're trying to understand somebody from their point of view.” Dipesh Chakrabarty, the Lawrence A. Kimpton Distinguished Service Professor of history & South Asian languages & civilizations at the University of Chicago and Distinguished Dean's Professor at the ANU's School of Culture, History, & Language (College of Asia & the Pacific), talked with our own Ian Pollock about the intersections of history & anthropology, the struggle of scholars from poorer countries to understand their societies own their own terms, & the appeal of western-style academics, plus what it takes to do history right: training, judgment, & how to use theory (and not let theory use you). Find Dipesh's bio, including a list of his published works, at https://history.uchicago.edu/directory/dipesh-chakrabarty.

CITATIONS Davis, Natalie Z. (2000) Slaves on Screen: Film and Historical Vision. Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Mass. Descola, Philippe, translated by Janet Lloyd (2013) Beyond Nature and Culture. University of Chicago Press, Chicago. Povinelli, Elizabeth A. (2016) Geontologies: A Requiem for Late Liberalism. Duke University Press, NC. QUOTES “Life is not always enjoyable. You have to make a story out of lived experiences to write history, and that story has to be enjoyable.” “All disciplines basically work with implicit models. The more formal a discipline is, the more explicit the models are.” “When you do your thesis and you defend it, you have to defend it in terms of what it contributes to the general understanding of anthropology. And that general understanding of anthropology or history is in the end more Western, even though we think of it as 'general.' But the ‘general' is a Western ‘general.' So what happens is, because of this unevenness of resources, these poorer countries actually have a tough time coming to understand themselves. Because their students get scholarships to go out and immerse themselves, like I did, into these ‘general' discussions, but the ‘general' discussions are Western. So I actually think sometimes that the West is producing its own intellectuals everywhere in the world.” “What we are faced with is a predicament where, as humans, we cannot not wish other humans to have the rights that we enjoy. But at the same time, our numbers have grown, and that also has some consequences. And how to combine our thinking about those consequences and our thinking about rights without some kind of optimistic leap of faith, either in technology or just sheer faith in human ingenuity, we don't know how to combine them.” "If you looked at the planet without thinking about rights, without thinking about justice -- because in Darwin's book there's no justice -- if you look at the planet through that framework, you have a language for talking about other species. But you can't bring it into the language of rights and things. And therefore it's like the 'truths' of evolution, and the aspirations in political philosophy, they just stare at each other, having nothing to say to each other."

Your co-hosts wonder why coal seems so sinister and they're pretty sure it has something to do with all those Santa-related threats. Then (8:51) we welcome University of Chicago environmental and intellectual historian Fredrik Albritton Jonsson to the podcast to discuss his two remarkable books, Enlightenment's Frontier: The Scottish Highlands and the Origins of Environmentalism (Yale, 2013) and Green Victorians: The Simple Life in John Ruskin's Lake District (co-authored with Vicky Albritton; U Chicago, 2016). Fredrik takes us back to mid 18th century Scotland and 19th century England to discuss the deep historical roots of contemporary concerns about fuel, growth and the natural limits of growth. We talk about competing energy and environmental visions in 18th and 19th century political economy and natural history. We touch on 18th century climatology, the nuances of Adam Smith's value theory and how British imperialism contributed to undermining the importance of land and population in economic theory. We debate whether physiocratism is on the rise again and Fredrik let us eavesdrop on his conversations with Dipesh Chakrabarty about how to think about the Anthropocene. Finally (51:10) we turn to art historian and renegade political economist John Ruskin, whose concerns about anthropogenic climate change in the 1860s and 1870s led him to form an early “post-carbon” community in Britain's Lake District. Yet, surprise surprise, his “simple life” turns out not to have been that simple after all :) Are fossil fuels really the edifice of modern notions of equality and freedom? Listen on!

After the usual nonsense, we welcome to the podcast this week (5:11) Dipesh Chakrabarty, theorist and historian extraordinaire from the University of Chicago. Dipesh recounts an amusing encounter from his visit to Rice that helps prove that the 1950s dream of limitless plenitude is still very much alive (and not only in Houston). We then return to his seminal/ovular essay, “The Climate of History,” and Dipesh shares his thoughts on how he might augment his four theses with a discussion of humanity's ecological overshoot and of the deep connection between geology and biology. Then we talk about why the recent polarization between Team Anthropocene and Team Capitalocene is a bit silly, how climate science originated out of interplanetary studies and what it means for our species being that we don't have an effective species-level political apparatus. Dipesh explains why it's important to think about capitalism in terms of geology and suggests that attaining an epochal consciousness could possibly restore content to the idea of the “common concern” of climate change. Finally, we ruminate on Cymene's concept of the “betacene” and the necessarily experimental status of politics today. There's much to provoke and digest in this week's podcast: enjoy!

Dictionary of Now #2 - Dipesh Chakrabarty & Eyal Weizman – FORUM April 11, 2016 7pm Lectures, discussion Within what forums can the political evolve today? In the face of post-democratic mechanisms of globalization, the crisis of the national state and increasing restrictions on human rights and civil liberties, there have been shifts in the places and practices of social negotiation. There is an ever-growing distance between the spaces of global politics and the networks of local political initiatives. Departing from the idea of the Greek polis and Hannah Arendt's concept of political acting as free, public negotiation, the historian Dipesh Chakrabarty and the architect Eyal Weizman explore the term forum.

Over four days, our 20 plus speakers – philosophers and theologians, historians and writers, believers and non-believers – will consider what it means to be religious, and what role the voice of faith may legitimately have in the conversations of citizens in a multicultural, democratic state and the community of nations. On Sunday, two keynote lectures from distinguished international guests each consider challenges posed by – and to – faith in the building of modern communities. Their lectures will be followed by panel discussions with local and international guests. In a panel discussion following Dipesh Chakrabarty’s address, the conversation will open up to include Sundhya Pahuja, a professor from Melbourne Law School (concerned with the relationship between international law and institutions and the question of global inequality), writer and poet Barry Hill. Justice Susan Crennan, a former Commonwealth Commissioner for Human Rights, will be participating chair.

Join us for another hearty episode of Always Already Podcast with B, John and Rachel. This time we’ll be discussing Dipesh Chakrabarty‘s “The Climate of History: Four Theses.” Exploring the relationship between capitalism, climate change, and the role of humans as a species in the warming of the planet, Chakrabarty pushes us to rethink narrow constructions […]

Om den globala textilindustrin ett år efter katastrofen i Bangladesh. 1 138 människor dog och det skulle bli en vändning - men hur mycket har egentligen hänt? Blir det bättre längst nere vid näringskedjan slut, eller är det fel på hela det globala systemet? Hör de svimmande arbetare som sätter ihop våra gympaskor. Hör om H&M och om små framsteg från Kambodja, Yale och Bangladesh. Det som hände i Rana Plaza skulle bli en väckarklocka för den globala klädindustrin, det var åter en katastrof som skulle leda till bättre arbetsmiljö och bättre villkor för arbetarna som syr upp de billiga kläder som säljs över hela världen. Det problem som den katastrofen satte i ett så brutalt ljus är dock större än den enskilda fabriken och även det enskilda landet Bangladesh. Frilansjournalisten Lina Johansson åkte till Kambodjas huvudstad Phnom Penh för att ta reda på mer om det som hänt de arbetare som rapporterats svimma på arbetsplatserna. Hör Suon Naroy berätta om vad som hände henne i ångorna från lösningsmedel på en fabrik som tillverkar gymnastikskor som säljs i mängder av butiker i Sverige. Det händer flera gånger i veckan på hennes fabrik. Hör Uk Phas berätta om vad som hände i hennes keps- och hattfabrik när det började brinna. Det handlar inte bara om arbetsmiljön. Arbetarna som vi möter i Kambodja har svårt att äta sig mätta på den låga lönen. Hör Soun Pheakdey berätta om hans och hans familjs liv. Soun jobbar nu fackligt med att få lönerna höjda och för att få de arbetare frisläppta som greps den 3 januari i år när de demonstrerade för bättre villkor. En demonstration där flera människor sköts till döds utanför en fabrik. Suon Pheakdey jobbar på en fabrik där H&M tills nyligen sydde upp kläder. H&M har avböjt både intervju och medverkan i detta Konflikt. Vi ville också göra ett längre reportage om företagets arbete med att förbättra villkoren för de arbetare som syr upp deras kläder, men även detta avböjde H&M. Hör mer om hur företaget sa nej till det i programmet. H&M har dock skickat en skriftlig kommentar där de säger att man "tar starkt avstånd från alla typer av våld och vi anser att konflikter och förhandlingar alltid ska ske under fredliga omständigheter." Konflikt ringde istället upp några tänkare som ägnar sitt liv att försöka förstå det här globala ekonomiska systemet. Thomas Pogge är professor i filosofi och internationella relationer på amerikanska Yale-universitetet och chef för dess centrum för studier i Global rättvisa. han gör en liknelse med slaveriet i USA. En som är starkt för de stora textilföretag, som precis som H&M, jobbar med att bli mer ansvarsfulla när de syr upp kläder i fattiga länder, det är ekonomiprofessorn Jagdish Bhagwati på Columbia University i New York, Han anser att verkligheten för en arbetare i Bangladesh troligen är bättre än vad den hade varit utan de jobb som kom med textilföretagen, men han är skeptisk till att höja arbetarnas löner. Dipesh Chakrabarty är en indisk historiker, just nu professor i historia med inriktning på södra Asien vid University of Chicago. Han berättar om att frågan om att sänka lönerna för att attrahera utländsk kapital är aktuell i den indiska valrörelsen. Men Dipesh Chakrabarty tycker det är märkligt att man måste göra just de fattiga än mer sårbara för att vi alla ska få det bättre i framtiden. För att diskutera detta finns i Konflikt med Viveka Risberg, kanslichef på Swedwatch, Mats Svensson som är internationell sekreterare på fackföreningen If Metall och Stefan de Vylder, nationalekonom och författare med tydligt global inriktning.

Over four days, our 20 plus speakers – philosophers and theologians, historians and writers, believers and non-believers – will consider what it means to be religious, and what role the voice of faith may legitimately have in the conversations of citizens in a multicultural, democratic state and the community of nations. On Sunday, two keynote lectures from distinguished international guests each consider challenges posed by – and to – faith in the building of modern communities. Their lectures will be followed by panel discussions with local and international guests. First, ground-breaking social historian Dipesh Chakrabarty will explore the voice of faith in national identity, speaking from the perspective of India. Chakrabarty’s book Provincializing Europe: Postcolonial Thought and Historical Difference investigates how and in what sense European ideas labelled ‘universal’ are in fact drawn from very specific intellectual traditions. He is one of the founders of subaltern studies, a field that draws on the idea that peasants may play a positive role in effecting social change in ex-colonial countries. In a panel discussion following Chakrabarty’s address, the conversation will open up to include Sundhya Pahuja, a professor from Melbourne Law School (concerned with the relationship between international law and institutions and the question of global inequality), writer and poet Barry Hill. Justice Susan Crennan, a former Commonwealth Commissioner for Human Rights, will be participating chair.
