Paying attention on the banks of the Yamuna: the making of attentive minds, bodies and politics in Delhi

我提出的研究，这将涉及在德里的贾瓦哈拉尔·尼赫鲁大学（JNU）的实地考察，作为其出发点的问题，为什么学生已经成为一个网站的注意力焦虑在印度，但目的是超越这一点，看看意识形态和关注的做法如何支持更广泛的社会生活形式，与经济，政治和宗教。我特别想探讨三个广泛的主题：有没有印度人特有的注意力模式？注意力如何与更广泛的经济联系起来？注意力如何塑造印度的政治实践？

My proposed research, which will involve fieldwork at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), takes as its starting point the question of why the student has become a site for attentional anxieties in India, but aims to move beyond this to look at how ideologies and practices of attention underpin wider forms of social life, articulating with economics, politics and religion. I specifically want to examine three broad themes: Are there particular Indian modes of attention? How does attention articulate with the wider economy? And how does attention shape the practice of politics in India?
