Arguing for the priority of materiality in any analysis of contemporary ideology, the authors explore urban construction projects, special economic zones, fashion ramps, films, archaeological excavations, and various queer spaces. In the process, they reveal how diverse co-existing utopian visions are entangled with local politics and global capital, and show how these utopian visions are at once driven by visions of excess and by increasing expulsions. It's a dystopia already in the making -- one marred by land grabs and forced evictions, rising inequality, and the loss of urbanity and civility. 001378126 588__ $$aVendor-supplied metadata. 001378126 650_0 $$aUrban anthropology$$zSouth Asia. 001378126 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001378126 7001_ $$aKuldova, Tereza,$$eeditor. 001378126 7001_ $$aVarghese, Mathew A.,$$eeditor. 001378126 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tUrban utopias.$$dCham, Switzerland : Palgrave MacMillan, [2017]$$z331947622X$$z9783319476223$$w(OCoLC)958356152 001378126 830_0 $$aPalgrave studies in urban anthropology. 001378126 852__ $$bebk 001378126 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-47623-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001378126 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1378126$$pGLOBAL_SET 001378126 980__ $$aBIB 001378126 980__ $$aEBOOK 001378126 982__ $$aEbook 001378126 983__ $$aOnline 001378126 994__ $$a92$$bISE
