Contents:
Introduction: Ecologies in the Making: A Methodological Journey.- Chapter 1 Of Sovereign Designs.- Chapter 2 Voices from the Wetlands and Paddy Fields.- Chapter 3 Prolegomenon to the Spectacles in the Making.- Chapter 4 Invasives and Invadability in Perspective.- Chapter 5 Riparian Ecologies from the Ghats to the Plains.- Chapter 6 River Stories from Periyar.- Chapter 7 The ‘Wild’ Amongst ‘Us’ or the Non-Human Other.- Concluding Chapter: Unravelling Entanglements in Ecology.
Summary: This book takes a unique approach to the ethnographic and analytical explorations of ecologies as entangled in their makings. It positions its arguments through emerging anthropocene contexts as entanglements across hybrid ecologies that unravel. The subsumed relationships between actors and the unprecedented interactions across the human and non-human entities brings up unique problematics. The book depends on existing literature, ethnographic work, and the close introspection of immediate geographies interspersed with the pertinent debates. Reconfiguration of relationships through changing orders and regimes towards the neo-liberal global moments of places manifest as matters of designs and demarcations. The chapters point at the often-unintended outcomes of such designs as it becomes evident from the meandering rivers, rains, wetlands, unprecedented floods, invasive ecologies, and 'encounters' with the wild. This work is a careful enquiry into ecologies in the making through ethnographies from Kerala, South-West India.
