DESCRIPTION:Join this talk organised by the Social Theory Centre\, and op
 en to all students\, staff and the general public. Please register via E
 ventbrite. Seminar Title: A Valley of Dust and Water: Infrastructure\, A
 nxieties\, and Ecological Imaginaries on the India Pakistan border Abstr
 act: In May 2018\, the Indian government commissioned a 330 MW hydroelec
 tric project on the Kishanganga River in Indian-controlled Kashmir\, a t
 ransboundary tributary of River Jhelum\, whose waters are claimed by bot
 h India and Pakistan amid ongoing political contestations over Kashmir. 
 In his inaugural speech\, India's prime minister\, Narendra Modi\, dedic
 ated the dam to the nation\, presenting it both as a gift to India and a
 s a concrete representation of its strength and tenacity. In other words
 \, Kishanganga dam was packaged as India's prestige project. For riverin
 e communities in Kashmir\, who were forced to give up their land\, river
 s\, and forests\, as well as provide cheap and dispensable labor for its
  construction\, the dam was a sehlab\, a flood\, that had devoured their
  crops\, trees\, cattle\, and mountains and left in its wake copious amo
 unt of dust and debris. The once lush green forested landscapes were now
  wrapped in thick layers of dust\, while people complained about asthma\
 , clogged lungs\, and other respiratory disorders. In this paper\, I ana
 lyze how riverine communities in Kashmir engage with dust\, both as a me
 taphor for "ruin" and "catastrophe" --- part of their apocalyptic vision
  for a depopulated and deforested Kashmiri landscape --- and as an endur
 ing trace of water infrastructures that asserts its material presence lo
 ng after the promise of growth and modernity has waned. I ask: how might
  dust and its ubiquitous presence signal new futures of ecological fragi
 lity in the Himalayas as dust sits on forests\, food\, and glaciers\, re
 ndering them dirty or inedible? I also explore how dust allows us to tra
 ce the afterlife of water infrastructures while conjuring images of life
 lessness\, death\, and dystopic futures? And\, finally\, how might the i
 diom turn to dust assume renewed meanings within the context of changed 
 ecological conditions\, anxieties about uncertain and unhealthy futures\
 , and vanishing trees\, forests\, and fish? Indicative readings with Dus

 han is Ford-Maxwell Professor of South Asian Studies at Syracuse Univers
 ity\, Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs She is a cultural
  anthropologist whose work explores the role of economic and infrastruct
 ural development in counterinsurgency operations and people's resistance
  movements to protracted war and conflict. Her areas of specialization i
 nclude border wars and counterinsurgency\, militarism and humanitarianis
 m\, race\, gender\, and religion\, environmentalism and climate change\,
  occupation and human rights\, space and place\, water and infrastructur
 e in Indian occupied Kashmir. Her book\, Counterinsurgency\, Development
 \, and the Politics of Identity: From Warfare to Welfare? (Routledge\, 2
 014)\, examines the relationship between everyday forms of militarizatio
 n and social life in Kashmir\, with a focus on how state-based economic 
 development and environmental interventions normalize everyday forms of 
 violence through registers of care\, compassion\, and humanitarianism. I
 n 2018\, she co-authored Climate without Nature: A Critical Anthropology
  of the Anthropocene (Cambridge University Press)\, with an environmenta
 l archeologist to challenge the modernist binaries between nature and hu
 manity\, and offer a situated and place-based assessment on how human an
 d nonhuman entanglements produce climatic assemblages across space and t
 ime. With her colleagues from the Critical Kashmir Studies Collective th
 at she helped co-found in 2013\, she co-edited Resisting Occupation in K
 ashmir (University of Pennsylvania Press 2018). Envisioned as a critical
  feminist collaboration among scholars who do engaged and advocacy work 
 in Kashmir\, the book foregrounds voices of Kashmiri scholars\, and expl
 ores the social and legal logic of India’s occupation of Kashmir. Before
  coming to Syracuse\, Mona taught at DePauw for twelve years where she w
 as the Otto L. Sonder Jr. Chair of Anthropology. In 2013 she received De
 Pauw's United Methodist Exemplary Teaching Award. Mona is co-editor of t
 he HIMALAYA\, the flagship journal of the Association for Nepal and Hima
 layan Studies\, and on the editorial board of AGITATE\, published throug
 h the University of Minnesota Libraries. Her writings and interviews hav
 e appeared in several media and print outlets such as the BBC\, Al Jazee
 ra\, TRT\, Kindle\, Open Democracy\, and Outlook.
