Interstices of Space and Memory
The conference intersectionally locates memory and space that reconstruct city chronotopes to explore how identities are reconfigured in metropolitan Indian cities. In taking recourse in locating turning points that could be historical, political or cultural in the life of ‘Metropolitan Indian Cities’ the perspective that is brought together with personal and collective stories that are recorded in Art /Literature /Curated Projects /Museums is that these moments reshape human values/ ethos in Cities. The assumption made is that at specific moments in time / turning points, with the pandemic for instance the spirit of the city changes. It highlights how human beings in cities account for such changes (the IIHS runs a postcard project on human lives during the plague and corona) being an example. It uses focal moments in the City as the lens to discuss Art, Literature and City Design.
North-East Biodiversity and Sustainable Economic Development
Northeast India is one of the richest in biological values as geographical ‘gateway’ for much of India’s flora and fauna being located at the confluence of Indian, Indo-Malayan and Indo-Chinese biogeographic regions meeting place of the Himalayan Mountains and peninsular India. The immense variety of the climatic, edaphic and altitudinal variations in Northeast have resulted in great range of ecological habitats, lowland-highland transition zones supporting the highest diversity of biomass or ecological communities, supporting extremely high species diversity. While this immense diversity has fascinated mankind towards its exploration, it has also thrown tough challenges in effectively highlighting by means of studies, surveys, research etc. This edited volume is an attempt to humbly capture the vastness and greatness of this land of wonders through chapters depicting varied aspects and to enrich the horizon of knowledge and unravel a roadmap to utilise the available diversity for the sustainable development.
