	APPA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Arjun Appadurai is specialized in sociocultural anthropology, globalization, and public culture and his current research interests are the internal organization of mass media and the historical study of state policies involving quantification.
		Appadurai sees its main virtue in being a useful heuristic that is capable to highlight points of similarity and contrast between all sorts of categories (classes, genders, roles, groups, and nations).
		Appadurai has moved from culture as substance to culture as the dimension of difference, to culture as group identity based on difference, to culture as the process of naturalizing a subset of differences that have been mobilized to articulate group identity (1996: 14-15).

	Szeman: Review of Appadurai
		In this way, too, Appadurai suggests that ironically "the creation of primordial sentiments, far from being an obstacle to the modernizing state, is close to the center of the project of the modern nation-state" (146).
		Appadurai's account of ethnic violence, which he describes as "implosive," rather than "explosive," is linked to his understanding of contemporary politics as globalized and transnational.
		Appadurai's description of the complex interaction between global and local is complicated by other considerations, such as the role of the nation-state in legitimating one identity as primary.

	Appadurai: Modernity at Large
		Appadurai examines the current epoch of globalization, which is characterized by the twin forces of mass migration and electronic mediation, and provides fresh ways of looking at popular consumption patterns, debates about multiculturalism, and ethnic violence.
		Appadurai simultaneously explores and explodes boundaries—between how we imagine the world and how that imagination influences our self-understanding, between social institutions and their effects on the people who participate in them, between nations and peoples that seem to be ever more homogeneous and yet ever more filled with differences.
		Arjun Appadurai is director of the Chicago Humanities Institute and Barbara E. and Richard J. Franke Professor of Anthropology, both at the University of Chicago.

	dna Sunday [Daily News & Analysis] - cover2cover - Unraveling the origins of terror
		For Appadurai, the abiding conflict of globalisation is not a clash of doctrines, cultures or civilisations, but a clash between different modes of large-scale political organisation, what he calls “cellular” and “vertebrate”.
		Appadurai links the proliferation of cellular forms — in terrorism, and in the global flows of capital, goods, and images — with the marginalistion of the vertebrate nation-state.
		Appadurai argues that the very term ‘minority’, in its political genealogy, originally referred only to procedural minorities, such as in courts and the parliament, where it sought to protect dissent in legislative procedures.

	An Introduction to Culture and Public Action
		Led by Arjun Appadurai, Mary Douglas, and Amartya Sen, the anthropologists and economists in this volume contend that culture is central to development, and that cultural processes are neither inherently good nor bad and never static.
		Rather, they are contested and evolving, and can be a source of profound social and economic transformation through their influence on aspirations and collective action; yet they can also be exploitative, exclusionary, and can lead to inequality.
		The editors are to be congratulated on having attracted three heavy hitters to their enterprise—Amartya Sen, Mary Douglas, and Arjun Appadurai.

	SHACK / SLUM DWELLERS INTERNATIONAL [SDI]
		A paper by Arjun Appadurai on the NSDF/Mahila Milan/SPARC alliance in India.
		First, I assume on the basis of my own previous work (Appadurai 1996; 2000; 2001) and that of several others from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, that globalization is producing new geographies of governmentality (Castells; Giddens; Held; Rosenau; Sassen).
		That essay contains a relatively detailed analysis of the relationships between the politics of right-wing Hindu nationalism (seen mostly in the activities of India's major urban xenophobic party, the Shiva Sena), the political economy of de-industrialization, and the spectral politics of housing in Mumbai.

	The average Indian Muslim wants room to survive
		Unless, of course, the author is Mumbai-born Arjun Appadurai, whose book Fear of Small Numbers discusses why, in the age of globalisation, there has been a proliferation of violence and of ethnic cleansing on the one hand and extreme forms of political violence against civilian population on the other.
		Dr Appadurai, John Dewy Professor in Social Sciences at New School University in New York, tells Rediff India Abroad Managing Editor (Features) Arthur J Pais that there seems to be an increasing and irrational fear of the minorities around the world and minorities, including in India, confront greater hostilities than ever before.
		Study after study has shown that the retaliatory violence against the minorities is hugely disproportionate to the alleged crimes attributed to them.

		The introduction, written by the editors, is a good introduction to the concepts of globalization.
		The second article by Appadurai is theoretical in nature, but is almost incomprehensible.
		He uses so much jargon (and even some made-up words) and allusions to other theories that unless you already know what he's trying to say, his article will do little more than frustrate you.
