Description
Smriti Srinivas explores the intersection of religion and civic life in Bangalore, India's thriving high-tech city. Through her analysis of the annual "Karaga" performance, she reveals how localities and globalities are shaped by cultural practices and historical contexts. This book offers a nuanced understanding of urbanization, moving beyond traditional models of globalization to highlight the complex interplay between culture, history, and space. Drawing on insights from urban studies, sociology, anthropology, performance studies, religion, and history, Srinivas sheds new light on how the civic is constructed in contemporary India. By examining the cultural practices embedded in urbanization, Landscapes of Urban Memory provides a fresh perspective on the ways in which cities are shaped by their histories and communities.
