Pleasure and Pornography: Pornography and the Blindfolded Gaze of the Law: by Namita A. Malhotra — published Apr 02, 2009 — last modified Aug 02, 2011 08:37 AM — filed under: histories of internet in India, Obscenity, internet and society, Art, cybercultures, women and internet, YouTube, Cybercultures, cyberspaces, Digital subjectivities, History
In the legal discourse, pornography as a category is absent, except as an aggravated form of obscenity. Does this missing descriptive category assist in the rampant circulation of pornography, either online or offline? Rather than ask that question, Namita Malhotra, in this second post documenting her CIS-RAW project, explores certain judgments that indeed deal with pornographic texts and uncovers the squeamishness that ensures that pornography as an object keeps disappearing before the law.

The Curious Incident of the People at the Mall: by Nishant Shah — last modified Dec 14, 2008 12:13 PM
The first flash mob in India, in 2003, though short-lived and quickly declared illegal, brought to fore the idea that technology is constructing new sites of defining public participation and citizenship rights, forcing the State to recognise them as political collectives. As India emerges as an ICT enabled emerging economy, new questions of citizenship, participatory politics, social networking, citizenship, and governance are being posed. In the telling of the story of the flash-mob, doing a historical review of technology and access, and doing a symptomatic reading of the subsequent events that followed the ban, this paper evaluates the different ways in which the techno-narratives of an ‘India Shining’ campaign of prosperity and economic growth, are accompanied by various spaces of political contestation, mobilisation and engagement that determine the new public spheres of exclusion, marked by the aesthetics of cyberspatial matrices and technology enabled conditions of governance.

Archive and Access: The Archive and the Indian Historian: by Aparna Balachandran — published Dec 11, 2008 — last modified Aug 23, 2011 04:44 AM — filed under: Archives
This post is the second in a series by Aparna Balachandran and Rochelle Pinto. It comes to the question of how we can extend some of the questions and concerns that have arisen around contemporary archives to the documentary archive. It argues that the conventional understanding of the print archive as a fragile, irreplaceable national cultural legacy is a limited one and tries instead to rethink questions of ownership and access, issues thrown up in sharp relief by the digital archive.
