Mukti's Marvel
Full text linkIn the historic town of Kirtipur, the annual processional masked dance known as Devi Pyakha unfolds. But hidden within this tradition lies a long-lost folktale—a tale of Kutiya Buri, an antagonist trapped in her own narrative. She was once notorious for stealing beauty from animals and humans alike. Enters Mukti, a curious young girl from the neighborhood. Drawn to the enchanting Dapha music heritage and the community places like phalcha and ankha chen, Mukti inadvertently stumbles into the world of Kutiya Buri. As she forms deeper social bonds with both people and places, she discovers a non-spatial realm—the archetypes revered or scorned in the town's folktales. In her dreams, Mukti embarks on journeys to these ethereal worlds, where she learns about a beauty that transcends human judgement—a beauty that is eternal. And in this exploration, she unknowingly offers solace to Kutiya Buri, who seeks redemption for her past misdeeds. Mukti’s Marvel weaves together folklore, music heritage and places, and the magic of interconnectedness, inviting young readers to explore beauty beyond the ordinary.
Use this colouring-book version to bring Mukti’s world to life with your imagination.
This work is a result of 4 years of collaboration between Folk Lok, Satori Center for the Arts and Tahnani Dapha Khalah, and a week-long HAP community outreach lead alongside with Dapha Dhuku, Hilltown International School and Shree Bishwo Rashtriya Secondary School

Research Project - HOM -Hydrology of Media: 2020-2022Jan 2023 onwards
No full textProjet transdisciplinaire soutenu par l’Ecole Universitaire de Recherche ArTeC, co-porté par Everardo Reyes et Gwen Le Cor,. Le projet HOM propose une approche hydrologique des médiations entre arts, sciences et humanités. Il s'intéresse à l’étude de la matérialité et de l’imaginaire des représentations de l’eau.HOM introduces a hydrologic approach to mediations between arts, sciences and humanities. Its main objective is to explore the water properties and effects in our aesthetic, cultural, scientific and educational practices. We study the materiality and the imaging of water representations by making direct interventions in artifacts and methods for scientific analysis. We adopt a multidisciplinary and multicultural procedure to ask the following questions: How to represent water at scales that are invisible to the human eye yet crucial to take into consideration? How to provoke new aesthetic reactions capable of generating a hydrologic conscience? The project was funded by EUR ArTeC from January 2020 to December 2022. Currently, starting January 2023, HOM presents itself as in international initiative - open to collaborations interested in weaving a network of people, resources, materials, methods, places, histories, documentation, datasets, experiences, and water-related species
Filming Feelings and Deities: The Drama of Incarnation and the Normalcy of Possession
Full text link"A Goddess as Guest" is an ethnographic film about the journey of a snake goddess (nāginī or naiṇī) worshipped in the Pindar valley in the Indian Himalayan state of Uttarakhand, India. This essay gives an overview about the parts of my film and then lead into some methodological considerations about ethnographic film in general. In my view, film editing is not only a tool to reproduce and publish collected data, but rather a nonverbal way of thinking, of analyzing and combining elements “cut” out of reality, which has been aptly compared to activities such as “sculpting” or “weaving”. The arrangement of scenes has its own dramaturgy or sequence of moods, which cannot reproduce, but, if intended (as I did), correspond to the dramaturgic sequences of the rituals themselves.
The film is archived in seven parts on heidICON:

Convexity of complements of limit sets for holomorphic foliations on surfaces
No full textInternational audienceLet be a holomorphic foliation on a compact K\"ahler surface with hyperbolic singularities and no foliation cycle. We prove that if the limit set of has zero Lebesgue measure, then its complement is a modification of a Stein domain. The proof consists in building, in several steps, a metric of positive curvature for the normal bundle of near the limit set. Then we construct a proper strictly plurisubharmonic exhaustion function for the complement of the limit set, by adapting Brunella's ideas to our singular context. The arguments hold more generally when the limit set is thin, a property relying on Brownian motion
Workplace violence against medical practitioners in India before and during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Influence of their experiences, coping processes and the media on doctor-patient relationships
Full text linkGewalt am Arbeitsplatz (WPV) gegen Angehörige der Gesundheitsberufe ist zu einem bedeutenden Problem geworden, insbesondere während der COVID-19-Pandemie. Diese Studie untersucht die Erfahrungen von Ärzten in Indien, die sowohl vor als auch während der Pandemie von Patienten oder deren Familien und Sympathisanten mit Gewalt am Arbeitsplatz konfrontiert wurden. Anhand von qualitativen Tiefeninterviews mit Ärzten verschiedener Fachrichtungen und Gesundheitseinrichtungen werden in dieser Studie die emotionalen und psychologischen Auswirkungen dieser gewalttätigen Begegnungen auf das Gesundheitspersonal und ihre Bewältigungsmechanismen untersucht. Außerdem wird untersucht, wie die Darstellung von Ärzten in den Massenmedien die öffentliche Wahrnehmung beeinflusst, was sich möglicherweise auf die Arzt-Patienten-Beziehung auswirkt und zu Fällen von WPV beiträgt. Vorläufige Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass negative Darstellungen in den Medien das Misstrauen und die Unzufriedenheit der Patienten verstärken können, wodurch die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Gewalt gegen Gesundheitsdienstleister steigt. Darüber hinaus spielen die von Ärzten angewandten Bewältigungsstrategien, wie z. B. die Suche nach Unterstützung durch Kollegen, die Inanspruchnahme institutioneller Hilfe oder die Beibehaltung einer defensiven Haltung im Umgang mit Patienten, eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Gestaltung der Dynamik der Arzt-Patienten-Beziehung. Diese Studie beleuchtet das komplexe Zusammenspiel zwischen der Darstellung in den Medien, WPV und den Bewältigungsprozessen von Ärzten und bietet wertvolle Einblicke in die Verbesserung des medizinischen Umfelds und die Förderung sicherer Arbeitsplätze. Die Ergebnisse unterstreichen den Bedarf an umfassenden politischen Maßnahmen und Unterstützungssystemen

The Indian Novel in English: Its Critical Discourse 1934-2023
Full text linkThe ever increasing number of novels written in English by Indian writers bears witness of the fecundity of a literary genre that has not only attracted a growing number of readers but has also appealed widely to critics from India and abroad.
Among countless responses to individual writers or single works about 350 publications – essays, essay collections or monographs – on the novel as such have been published between 1934 and 2023. Apart from attention paid here to historical,thematic and linguistic concerns, the poetics of a genre created by authors writing not in their first language has played a significant role, pioneering, by the way, the present discourse on transnational and transcultural literatures in English created outside countries with English as their national language.
The following presentation in two parts first explores the critical discourse of the Indian novel in English that developed over seventy years between 1934 and 2004. Presented in my book of 20051 it draws on around 280 publications that round off its first chapter, “The Indian Novel in English: The Reception of a Literary Genre”. The second part, “Supplement” , comments but briefly on the direction the discourse has taken over the last twenty years. It is followed by an enumeration of seventy publications that would of course need a more detailed investigation into the various parameters evident in their titles: a task for the present generation of critics
A Bound for the Torsion on Subvarieties of Abelian Varieties
No full textInternational audienceWe give a uniform bound on the degree of the maximal torsion cosets for subvarieties of an abelian variety. The proof combines algebraic interpolation and a theorem of Serre on homotheties in the Galois representation associated to the torsion subgroup of an abelian variety
A Kingdom for an Airport: Effects of international and private investment on the livelihood of Cambodia’s urban poor communities
