SUMMARY:Vinay Lal - "The Politics of Internet Hinduism"
DESCRIPTION:Hinduism’s adherents\, particularly in the United States\, have displayed in recent years a marked tendency to turn towards various forms of digital media\, and in particular the internet\, to forge new forms of Hindu identity\, furnish Hinduism with a purportedly more coherent and monotheistic form\, engage in debates on American multiculturalism\, and partake of the protocols of citizenship in the digital age. The aspiration to create linkages across Hindu groups worldwide\, embrace Hindus in remoter diasporic settings who are viewed as having been ‘left behind’\, and create something of global Hindu consciousness\, has a fundamental relationship to India’s ascendancy as an ‘emerging economy’ and the confidence with which its Hindu elites increasingly view the world and their prospects for prosperity and political gain. In this lecture\, I shall focus on some contemporary phenomena\, among them the deployment of the internet in battles over the content of history textbooks in California and attempts to secure ‘the dignity of Hinduism’ by groups such as American Hindus Against Defamation (AHAD). As I shall argue\, a revolutionary internet Hinduism is being forged which transforms an old faith into a worldwide religion\, and brings pliant Hindus\, both in India and in the older Indian diasporas of the nineteenth century\, to an awareness of the global strengths of a ‘modern’ Hindu community.

SUMMARY:Fernando Peréz-Montesinos - “The Liberal State and Purépecha Communities: Remaking Life on the Land”
DESCRIPTION:Fernando Peréz-Montesinos received his M.A. in 2009 and his Ph.D. in 2015 at Georgetown University in Washington DC. Fernando writes\, “My heart… remained with the history of indigenous people in modern Latin America. I thus embarked on a study of the Purépecha people of Michoacán (central-west Mexico) and examined how they coped with and contributed to shape a century-long process (1800-1914) of major land and social transformations. This has been an exciting and rewarding project that I plan to turn into a book in the near future. Teaching has been an equally rewarding part of my professional life. I have taught in private and public universities in Mexico and United States\, mostly courses on Mexican and Latin American history. My latest experience at Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City (2014 to present) involves offering students guidance on how to develop research projects. Ironically\, many of these projects are studies on mass and social media. This has proved to be a happy and reassuring coincidence. From 2013 to the present\, I have collaborated andco-edited a history blog\, an stimulating project that continuously reminds me about the importance of bringing together history and the new technologies of the 21st century.”
