Building on but also revising approaches to global intellectual history, the book presents the circulation through Calcutta as a historically sited problem of mass mediation. Using tools from media studies, the book explores the publics, the technologies and the meanings of Marxism in Calcutta. Demonstrating how the Popular Front was split between the so-called 'people's group' and those whom were called 'intellectuals', the book argues that the people's group generally identified themselves as Marxists and preferred audio-visual media, while the so-called intellectuals privileged academic rigour and print media, usually referring to themselves as Marxians. Thus, the author reveals a polyphony of Marxisms amongst the Popular Front. Tracing Marxism back to the Bengal Renaissance and the Swadeshi and Naxal movements, this book shows how debate around the meaning of 'Marxism' continued throughout the 1970s in Calcutta, and helped to engender the historiographical movement that has come to be known as Subaltern Studies. Prasanta Dhar is a historian of South Asia and has taught at the University of Toronto in Canada. 001453392 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed December 14, 2022). 001453392 650_0 $$aPopular fronts$$zIndia$$zKolkata$$xHistory. 001453392 650_0 $$aCommunism$$zIndia$$zKolkata$$xHistory. 001453392 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001453392 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001453392 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3031186168$$z9783031186165$$w(OCoLC)1345459285 001453392 830_0 $$aMarx, Engels, and Marxisms. 001453392 852__ $$bebk 001453392 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-18617-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001453392 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1453392$$pGLOBAL_SET 001453392 980__ $$aBIB 001453392 980__ $$aEBOOK 001453392 982__ $$aEbook 001453392 983__ $$aOnline 001453392 994__ $$a92$$bISE
