| Moustapha Mouhamed Life in Nature, Surulipatti, Tamil Nadu. GRAND PRIX ALL CATEGORIES - IFP - Wetland Photo Contest and PHF 2020 Blandine Ripert The beginning of the year is the time for IFP to take into account the collaborations with its associated researchers and to renew them. Thus, new collaborators have joined us on various ongoing projects, offering new perspectives to our approaches. These last months have also been the occasion to welcome a large number of trainees, who will strengthen our teams and will be able to experience collaborative work in a research environment. We hope that this will be an opportunity for them to better understand how research questions are addressed and what processes they will go through in order to provide insights, in which they will participate at their own scale. The entire IFP team welcomes them into an environment that we hope will be as open as possible for exchanges for all of us. If many of our researchers and students have been back to fieldwork these last months trying to compensate the lack of data from last year's lockdown, the COVID situation changed dramatically in India, even so less in the South than in the North from now. As all institutions, we recently have been obliged to postpone the research on the field to not participate in the spread of the pandemic and protect all of us. Let's all take care of each other APRIL 2021 PAGE | 01

The members of the Observatory of Rural Dynamics and Inequalities in South India (ODRIIS), based at the IFP, set up a research-action project to analyse direct socio- economic effects of the COVID-19 crisis. The project COVINDIA (“Appuyer, comprendre et valoriser les pratiques de solidarités villageoises en Inde du Sud”), was selected by a flash call on the pandemic by the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF) among 92 projects in 44 countries, the only one selected for India. It has three main objectives: (i) to relieve vulnerable households living in the NEEMSIS villages of Cuddalore and Villupuram districts by providing emergency food distribution with the help of SHGs; (ii) to conduct qualitative fieldwork to reflect on the consequences of the COVID-19; (iii) to produce a film documentary on the living conditions of rural population in Tamil Nadu during the pandemic. A short and preliminary version of the documentary is now visible here: WATCH VIDEO . This first documentary has been largely publicized by the IRD as part of projects lead by women to face the COVID-19 consequences over the world (newsletter IRD ; Canal-U TV ; Le Mag’ IRD). This short documentary is part of a broader project of long documentary to observe the itinerary of labour migrants before, during and after the Indian lockdown, thereby accounting for living conditions in rural areas of Tamil Nadu.

NEEMSIS 2 data collection in the village of Semakottai (source: Radhika, enumerator of NEEMSIS 2) The data collection of the survey NEEMSIS 2 (Networks, Employment, dEbt, Mobility and Skills in India Survey) started in October 2020 is still ongoing in villages of the Cuddalore and Villupuram districts. NEEMSIS 2 will become the third wave of a longitudinal data collection following the same population of households since 2010 (RUME survey) and 2016-17 (NEEMSIS 1). These surveys aim at understanding the links between labour, skills, debt, social and professional mobility and social networks formation in South India. NEEMSIS 2 included questions on the effects on COVID-19 in rural areas for different modules. Preliminary results, extracted from a reduced sample (half of the final sample), highlight huge difficulties to have access to food, and a decline of food quality. The NEEMSIS 2 is about to start surveying new households, which were not part of the sample in 2010 and 2016. Source: NEEMSIS 2, 2020-2021 APRIL 2021 PAGE | 06

In the area that we are focusing our study, we currently witness a substantial return of shrimp farming in the villages of T.S.Pettai, Pichavaram and Killai. These are the villages where agriculture continues to play a vital role in their local economies. However people of these villages erceive a drastic ecological change causing radical changes in their livelihood options. The increasing salinity in their soil is their reason to take to aquaculture. The river Uppanar to them became a consistent to aggravate salinity along with other factors such as lesser flow of fresh water from the rivers flowing into and from the Kollidam, psource of salinity which promoted this shift to shrimp farming while previously it was only practiced in its vicinity. This became an ‘inevitable option’ say most of them. It is curious that people involved in farming do not see their own practice as contributing along the northern most margins of the crisis ridden Kaveri delta. The often irreversible ecological damage that shrimp farming causes is relegated by certain people while most people suffer due to increasing salinity affecting basic needs such as quality drinking water in the villages near by.

It is the most important single large species in Indian marine fisheries in terms of volume in landing contributing 17- 20 % of total fish catch. Historically, the western coast, especially Kerala, is known for significant sardine catch. The sardine crisis in Kerala started at the turn of this decade, indicating a decline of more than 82%. The reason for the crises was attributed to climate change as well as over fishing. The abundance of jellyfish, mismatch in phytoplankton productivity, young fish predators and climate change effects have negatively affected their prevalence in the western coast. Emergent crisis in that coast opened up market openings in the Eastern coast, not to mention the conflicts that came along with it. The expansion of sardine fishery in the East witnessed the transition of small scale fisheries to ring seine fishing. Large scale ring seine fishing marginalized the small fishers who primarily used drift nets as their gear. Cuddalore coast’s fishing community is literally divided into two camps – villages supporting and using ring seine headed by the big hamlet of Devanampattinam and the rest of the fishers, primarily small fishers headed by the hamlet of Samiyarpettai. The small fishers allege that ring seining depletes fish stocks as it harvests entire shoals leaving nothing for them. Also, there is an argument that only a section APRIL 2021 PAGE | 11
The main focus of the Laboratory of Palynology & Paleoecology is pollen grains dispersed by flowers that eventually settle down in sediments and remain preserved for several thousands of years as an evidence (proxy) of the plant that produced them. Where pollen preservation is poor and where it is essential to identify past agricultural practices, complementing pollen studies with studies on the opal silicate bodies of plants, phytoliths give an additional plant proxy and more information about the past environment. This picture shows the laboratory process for extracting phytoliths for microscopic study: this uses a heavy liquid (Zinc Bromide density solution - the coloured liquids in the picture at 3 densities: 1.5, 2, 2.35 ) to float the phytolith residue from the greyish mineral residue in the goblets adjacent to the coloured liquids and recovered using a Pasteur pipette.

MoSS#7 [Making of Social Sciences] Wednesday, 10th of February 2021 at 10:30 am at the French Institute of Pondicherry – Coromandel Room. Eléonore Rimbault, PhD candidate in anthropology at the University of Chicago. The aesthetic, professional and mnemonic lives of India’s circuses Due to its cosmopolitan origin, its itinerant nature, its modernist, yet ever-nostalgic aesthetic, the circus occupies a marginalized and ambivalent position in the field of Indian performing arts, ever since the profession’s early days on the subcontinent in the 1840s. While this position is arguably a feature of big-top circuses worldwide, the Indian circus has enduringly been cast as “foreign” and anachronistic in Indian society, given the challenges it posed to the longstanding influence of caste and religion on the structuring of professional milieus, as well as the religious and state-sanctioned forms of inter-species cooperation. Building on over 15 months of ethnographic and archival engagement with the professional community that sustains this industry, I argue that the identity and recognizability of the circus as a cultural form owes to the conjunction of three distinct temporalities respectively tied to (1) the uptake and innovation of an imported entertainment form and its local development over almost 180 years; (2) the constitution of the circus as an Indian industry, through interactions and competitions among circus owners; (3) the construction of mnemonic narratives and biographical accounts around circus-related experiences by members of the circus community. I argue that it is through conflations of aesthetic, professional and biographical temporal horizons that the seemingly unchanging cultural identity of the circus as a “dying art” emerges in India. The circus’ uncertain projection of time, and its conversion into nostalgia as an element of the show, makes it an ideal site for symbolic investments. The exceptional and open- ended quality of the circus’ public image has repeatedly been seized by external actors who have used it (as a site for governmental and diplomatic representation since the 1860s; an exotic set for India’s film industries since the 1950s; or as a site of abuse used by NGOs defending the rights of children and animals since the 1990s) to bolster their own moral and political scenarios and messages.

MoSS#8 [Making of Social Sciences] Monday, 29th February 2021 at 10:00 am at the French Institute of Pondicherry. Dr. Marie-Hélène Zérah, research director in Urban Studies, French National Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD), to present her latest book. When India urbanizes. Essential services and the paradox of a bricolage urbanism How can one explain the lack of universalization of water, sanitation and electricity services in India despite a high and continuous economic growth over the last 30 years? That is the opening question of this book that attempts to depict the multiple paradoxes of an urbanizing India, while paying attention to both large metropolises and urbanized villages, including medium-sized towns. The proliferation of “spatialized configurations to access essential services” serve as an analyzer to bring to light the variety of territorial dynamics and the persistence of very strong socio-spatial inequalities. The book is structured around varied analytical lenses, including the assessment of urban public policy mobilities, the variegated forms of urban capitalism, the modernisation of public organizations and the place of urban practices and civil society. Beyond the reductive paradigm of the “neoliberal city”, the author shows the reality of a bricolage urbanism made of a creative – and innovative – tension between repertoires of collective action.

19th October 2020 : « Le Yoga à la conquête de l’Ouest » dans LSD, série documentaire sur France Culture. A radio programme by Raphaël Voix Raphaël Voix was invited Elodie Maillot to talk about the history of yoga in the west for a four-episode radiophonic documentary on France-culture. « You don't need a lockdown or the explosion of meditation apps to see it, yoga is everywhere: hanging from a wifi feed in our apartments, on Instagram, in prisons, businesses, hospitals, political speeches, department stores, and even as the headline of the back-to-school literary hit. Yoga also came into my life, somewhat by accident, as it has for 300 million people around the world. To imagine this series, I practiced and recorded dozens of hours of classes, I went to spend a week in the oldest yoga festival in Europe, I met researchers, masters, teachers, French, American and English, yoga practitioners, but also an influencer, business leaders, management teachers, and even a biologist, winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine! This radio series is not a "wellness" course. The idea here is to tell another story of yoga, subjective and alive, through experiences, encounters, and personal reflections ».

25th March 2021 : La Bhagavadgītā, une œuvre universelle ? A radio programme by Raphaël Voix Raphaël Voix, (CNRS, IFP) was recently invited by Adèle van Reeth in Les Chemins de la philosophie to explain how the Bhagavadgītā became a transnational object. « Gandhi, Einstein, Martin Luther King: many personalities have quoted the Gītā, which has become the most widely read and translated popular work of the Indian tradition. But how did its uses allow for the justification of opposing positions, both on violence, and equality between individuals? » When on July 16, 1945, Oppenheimer, the scientific director in charge of the production of the first atomic bomb, witnessed the first test in the New Mexico desert, the sight of the immense mushroom cloud immediately brought to mind... the Bhagavadgītā, the two-thousand-year-old Indian text that also inspired Thoreau, Mandela, and before them, the German Romantics. But what is it about this short text recounting the appearance of the god Krishna to the warrior Arjuna on a battlefield that gives it a universal significance L'invité du jour : Raphaël Voix, anthropologist, senior fellow at the CNRS, member of the French Institute of Pondicherry.

19th to 28th January 2021 : Exhibition on The Five French Settlements in India as Recorded in Eighteenth-Century Plans (1673-1824) Until the middle of the 18th century, the French establishments in India were prosperous fortified towns, with administrative buildings, warehouses, markets, temples and churches. Pondicherry was then the most beautiful town of the Coromandel Coast, with a splendid palace, “a small Versailles”, which was the admiration of all visitors. Unfortunately, the establishments were systematically destroyed by British troops and almost nothing remains today of their civilian and military constructions. This exhibition was therefore: - an introduction to the history of the old French establishments in India; - and an inventory of their vanished monuments. Conceived and realised by the late historian Dr Jean Deloche, long-time member of the École française d’Extrême-Orient (EFEO) and associate researcher of the French Institute of Pondicherry (IFP), the exhibition was inaugurated on 18th January 2021 by Mme Lise Talbot Barré, Consul General of France in Puducherry and Chennai. Jointly organised by the IFP, the Alliance française de Pondichéry and the Pondicherry Centre of the EFEO in collaboration with the Tourism department, Government of Puducherry, it was held as part of the Pondicherry Heritage Festival, 2021. Over 300 persons visited the exhibition despite the Covid restrictions. Among the important visitors were the German Consul General in Chennai, the Director of the National Book Trust, Delhi and the recently retired Chief Secretary of Goa. APRIL 2021 PAGE | 23
2nd February, 2021 : 3rd WETLAND PHOTO CONTEST World Wetlands Day 2021: Photo Exhibition on Wetlands and Water To mark the occasion of the World Wetlands Day 2021 (Feb 2nd), a Photo Exhibition based on the theme “wetlands and Water” was inaugurated by Mme. Lise Talbot Barré, Consul General of France in Puducherry in the presence of Smt. Smitha. R, I.A.S., Secretary, Science, Tech & Envt., Govt of Puducherry. World Wetlands Day is celebrated every year in February to raise public awareness about the importance and value of wetlands. This day marks the date of the adoption of the International Convention on Wetlands on 2 February 1971, in the Iranian city of Ramsar on the shores of the Caspian Sea. In 2021 we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of this convention. The IFP has organised the 3rd Wetland Photographic competition. All contest entries submitted by January 10, 2021 were evaluated by jury members and the results were announced during the inauguration of the exhibition of photographs at the French Institute of Pondicherry. Winning photographers received a Prize and a Certificate of appreciation. To celebrate this occasion, the best award winning photographs from the year 2019 to 2021 has been compiled into a form of a booklet. This booklet will certainly help to think about wetland preservation as well stimulate new bridges between science and society to nurture public policies that further improve water and environmental management. The main objective of the programme is to raise public awareness of the rich cultural and natural heritage values of regional wetlands. The photographs of the contest winners have been exhibited in the main hall at the French Institute of Pondicherry for two months. The Photo contest was supported by the French Agency for Development (AFD), Indo-French Foundation for Research and Heritage and Marutham Photos. It was part of he Pondicherry Heritage Festival.

3rd to 9th February, 2021 : Food platform event 2021 For the 3rd year, from February 3rd to 9th , a 7-day event of the Pondicherry Food Platform has been organized by IFP in close interaction with different stakeholders (the University, farmer’s organizations, NGOs, a cultural center, a restaurant, the national networks of Fair Trade Twin Towns and Venkalp Sangam (through the Social Entrepreneurship Association), etc. This platform is an occasion to share reflections within a multi-actor network on the theme of food sovereignty and the transition to agro-ecology (The science-society platform that already exists for a local food system in Pondicherry). The platform creates the conditions for an inter-knowledge and a shared trust between members that favors the implementation of research and action-research projects based on scientific objectives and methodologies articulated to societal concerns. The week has been organized around numerous moments such as a discussion between the Minister of Agriculture, the Nabard bank for agriculture development, and a group of farmers and city dwellers, a photo exhibition followed by two days of field visits and a two day-workshop around four topics: Food as a commons/Food, health and nature/Food justice and democracy/Rural (women) entrepreneurship. One of the objectives has been to link the Pondicherian initiative to similar actions carried out in India and in France (around the Territorial Food Projects – PAT). The Food Platform is more specifically the support of research projects in interdisciplinary (between the social sciences and ecology department) : i) on bees and pollination (POLLIN project, funded by CNRS-MITI) in the context of climate change, ii) on knowledge and use of edible wild plants in the urban context (specifically the leafy vegetables commonly eaten), iii) on food security, justice and democracy – how to think a quality food for all social classes - in cooperation with the Region Centre Val de Loire (PATAMIL project). The objectives of these scientific projects and some preliminary results were presented during the workshop and the field days were an opportunity to show to a large audience the interest of the researches conducted on these subjects at IFP.

The World Sparrow Day function has been organised at IFP by Indigenous Biodiversity Foundation on the 20th April 2021. Nest boxes have been distributed to increase the population of sparrows and to create awareness about sparrows among the youth of Pondicherry. APRIL 2021 PAGE | 26
From Pablo Escobar to Phoolan Devi, bandits, dead or alive, never cease to feed the collective imagination. To the oral legends and popular literature celebrating their misdeeds or feats are added today video games, TV series, Instagram stories or Facebook communities. The scriptwriters of these multiple narratives now circulating on a global scale are often the protagonists themselves, anxious to control their brand image in a globalized digital economy. This issue explores the processes of making icons of banditry, and their articulation to the concrete practices of today's bandits in predatory economies. By sketching a band of ambivalent thugs from the four corners of the world, it questions contemporary charismatic forms of violence and authority.

This issue 281 of Cahiers d'Outre-Mer is the second devoted to the Indian Union and the first to focus on the environmental dynamics that animate and sometimes divide this country in which political authoritarianism and economic liberalization give rise to violent, renewed and numerous environmental conflicts. This book brings together contributions from more than a dozen geographers, ecologists, sociologists and anthropologists who deal with environmental issues from different perspectives, objects and methods. It shows how these issues cannot be dissociated from social issues and power relations between social groups, between the central and federated states, between development and protection, and between productivism and the creation of new ontologies.

This volume brings together a broad range of scholarship on various aspects of multilingualism in South India and Sri Lanka, particularly with respect to written sources from the pre-modern world. Although the rich linguistic diversity of both regions has long been acknowledged, the consequences of this variety on linguistic and literary developments has rarely been explored, and never with the breadth that is offered here. Our contributions examine the nature and discursive functions of multilingualism, largely from the perspective of philology, in a diverse array of literary, linguistic, and cultural contexts. Some of the contributors bring their particular expertise to bear on the mutual influence of the Sanskrit and Tamil worlds, while others examine the complex linguistic, religious, and cultural negotiations evident in the literary products of authors writing in Arabic, Pali, Sinhala, Telugu, and Malayalam. Many of them also cite and translate paradigmatic examples. This volume is an important compendium of current research on multilingualism in South India and Sri Lanka and CIOTTI G. et McCANN E., 2021.

The Peruṅkuṟiñci ("The Great Poem of Kuṟiñci"), better known under the title Kuṟiñcippāṭṭu, is traditionally counted among the "Ten Songs" (Pattuppāṭṭu), one of the two main subdivisions of the old Tamil Caṅkam corpus. Taking the form of a long monologue in which the female character's confidante addresses the foster mother, it deals at the same time with all aspects of the Akam theme of kuṟiñci, the hilly landscape that provides a backdrop for the lovers' union. The text, newly edited on the basis of all surviving manuscripts, is published here along with its classical commentary by the great 14th-century scholiast Nacciṉārkkiṉiyar. An introduction presents the standards for the critical edition, and a complete word-index follows the presentation of the texts. Another special feature of this book is the extensive discussion and illustration of the ninety-nine species of flowers mentioned in the poem, which appear so pervasively in ancient Tamil literature but are often difficult to identify RAJESWARI T., 2020.
