Counter‐hegemonic sport: Constructing alternative sports narratives in Indian cinema
In: The journal of popular culture: the official publication of the Popular Culture Association, Band 56, Heft 3-4, S. 719-730
ISSN: 1540-5931
AbstractThis paper explores the Indian sports film as a category that gains popularity after the economic reforms of the 1990s. Influenced by the Hollywood sports film and global neoliberal ideals, these films incorporate local ideological influences and contribute to the prevailing discourse about sport in India. While mainstream films convey dominant values associated with sport, there are films which challenge these notions. This study examines two such films, Mukkabaaz (2017) and Sudani from Nigeria (2018), which carry subversive potential against hegemonic conceptions of individual, community, nation and merit, and offer an alternate understanding of sport and its role in society.
Contradictions of Neoliberal Urbanism: The Case of Paid Domestic Workers in Indian Cities
In: Critical sociology, Band 49, Heft 4-5, S. 865-883
ISSN: 1569-1632
This article discusses the contradictions of neoliberal urbanism in the context of Indian cities. Focusing on gated neighborhoods as a quintessential feature of neoliberal urbanism, it unpacks the changing meaning and significance of gated neighborhoods (GNs) and their representative organizations, the Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs), in mediating the relationship between the propertied middle classes and the urban poor. A few decades into the making, I argue that neoliberal urbanism is beginning to produce contradictory outcomes through its specific elements such as the GNs. Using the case of domestic workers, I show that domestic workers are performing collective actions and targeting GNs as a whole. Domestic workers' actions are subverting the purpose of physical features and institutional features of GNs to their advantage as workers. How can middle-class residents' tools of control and exclusion become the new means of power and resistance for a section of the urban poor—domestic workers?

From Skill to Spectacle: Sport as Commodity in the Age of Television in India
In: Society and culture in South Asia, Band 7, Heft 2, S. 338-358
ISSN: 2394-9872
Through an examination of sports ads on television, this article attempts to analyse the process of commodification that sport in India has undergone with the advent of television in the 1980s and the economic liberalisation in 1991, which forms the context for the formation of the sport–media complex in the country. It identifies consumerism, exchange value and commodity fetishism as the key elements of commodification and analyses the ads through these categories in order to eventually establish the changes in the ideas and values about sport, which have occurred as a result of the production of sport for mass consumption.
