Revisiting The Original Ghosh Model: Can It Be More Plausible?
Full text linkWe reconsider in this paper the alleged implausibility of Ghosh’s model and we do so reformulating the model to incorporate an alternative closure rule. Our proposed closure rule is in line with the original allocation rules defined by A. Ghosh. The closure solves, to some extent, the implausibility problem that was pointed out by Oosterhaven for then value–added is correctly computed and responsive to allocation changes resulting from supply shocks. Some numerical examples illustrate the sectoral and aggregate consistency of the allocation equilibrium.Multi-sectoral Input-Output Models, Market Economy, Planned Economy
Amitav Ghosh
No full textRomanzo dopo romanzo Amitav Ghosh ha sorpreso i suoi lettori con i suoi voli pindarici tra diverse epoche, luoghi e generi letterari portandoli dal realismo magico dell’India del Novecento al Medioevo mediorientale, al futuro, al drammatico post-partition, fino nel cuore della giungla e all’Asia delle Guerre dell’oppio. Ciò che accomuna esperienze di scrittura così eterogenee sono due tendenze all’apparenza opposte: il rigore scientifico e metodologico delle ricerche e l’atteggiamento umanistico che distingue Ghosh dalla maggior parte degli scrittori postmoderni, informando tutta la sua scrittura. Si tratta di un umanesimo che affonda le radici nella cultura indiana moderna, con gli importantissimi riferimenti di Tagore e Satiajit Ray, e che riflette il multiculturalismo dell’India da un lato e il cosmopolitismo dell’intellettuale indiano dall’altro. Ogni romanzo di Ghosh è un’esplorazione lirica dell’animo umano, della sua capacità di resistere alle avversità della vita, ma, nel contempo, è anche resoconto minuzioso di una ricerca compiuta con passione e competenza sul campo o negli archivi. I dati ottenuti tramite queste ricerche prendono vita nel momento in cui la precisa immaginazione dell’autore li applica a uomini e donne la cui vita sovente si dispiega in zone d’ombra lontane dai riflettori dei mass-media e della storiografia tradizionale
Rituparno Ghosh: Cinema, Gender and Art
No full textAn iconic filmmaker and inheritor of the legendary Satyajit Ray’s legacy, Rituparno Ghosh was one of the finest auteurs to emerge out of contemporary Bengal. His films, though rooted firmly in middle-class values, desires and aspirations, are highly critical of hetero-patriarchal power structures. From the very outset, Ghosh displayed a strong feminist sensibility which later evolved into radical queer politics.
This volume analyses his films, his craft, his stardom and his contribution to sexual identity politics. In this first scholarly study undertaken on Rituparno Ghosh, the essays discuss the cultural import of his work within the dynamics of a rapidly evolving film industry in Bengal and more largely the cinematic landscape of India. The anthology also contains a conversation section (interviews with the filmmaker and with industry cast and crew) drawing a critical and personal portrait of this remarkable filmmaker
