This paper examines the consciousness of gendered subaltern in Abhi Subedi’s poetic play Dreams of Peach Blossoms and looks at how Subedi deconstructs the existing historiography to bring forth the issue of gendered subaltern who have been subjected to the hegemony of the ruling class. Drawing on insights and postulations from Subaltern Studies theorists such as Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Partha Chatterjee, Gautam Bhadra and others, this paper examines the pain and agonies of female characters that are glossed over in the grand narrative of the mainstream culture. This paper concludes that while exploring the painful experience of women erased from the pages of history, Subedi is focused on the Maiju culture that began since Bhrikuti’s marriage to a Tibetan King in the sixth century and reveals the injustice of patriarchy against women with an aim to make correction in such distortions of history.

Partha Chatterjee (b. 1947) is one of the most widely read social scientists working in South Asia today. His work, located at the intersection of history, political theory, and anthropology, has been influential in cultural and literary studies as well as history and political theory. He was one of the founding members of the Subaltern Studies group, which undertook new research into colonial society and culture with a focus on peasant consciousness. Chatterjee’s major publications in the 1980s and early 1990s dealt with peasantry and politics, but also explored the domain of elite culture and ideology. An important concern in this phase was nationhood and community, with Gramsci’s idea of passive revolution providing a conceptual grid. Chatterjee emerged as a major theorist of nationalism in the wake of his books on the subject. Since the 1990s, he has attempted to conceptualize the new turn in Indian politics after the Emergency (1975–1977). The Foucauldian idea of “governmentality” has played a central role in this work. The concept of “political society” that he has developed in this phase has made a major contribution to the discourse on Indian democracy. Alongside, he has continued his research in the history of empire and colonialism, extending his investigations to the “early modern” period in Indian history. A critique of Western liberal political thought runs through all his recent work, uniting historical, cultural, and political explorations.

This chapter explores movement and circulation across the Mediterranean and seeks to contribute to a history of proto-nationalism in the Maghrib and the Middle East at a particular moment prior to World War I. The discussion is particularly concerned with the interface of two Mediterranean spaces: the Middle East (Egypt, Ottoman Empire) and North Africa (Morocco), where the latter is viewed as a case study where resistance movements sought external allies as a way of compensating for their internal weakness. Applying methods developed by Subaltern Studies, and linking macro-historical approaches, namely of a translocal movement in the Muslim Mediterranean, it explores how the Egypt-based society, al-Ittihad al-Maghribi, through its agent, Aref Taher, used the press as an instrument for political propaganda, promoting its Pan-Islamic programme and its goal of uniting North Africa.

Improvisation has been construed as Western art music’s Other. This chapter urges music theorists to take the consequences of this configuration seriously. The decision to exclude improvisation as inherently unstable is not neutral, but is bound up with the endemic racism that has characterized social relations in the West and that is being brought to the fore in Black Lives Matter and other recent social and political movements. Traditional music theory is not immune from such institutional racism—its insistence on normative musical behaviors is founded on the (white) phallogocentrism of Western thought. Does the resurgent academic interest in improvisation offer a way out? No, at least not as it is currently studied. Even an apparently impartial approach such as cognitive science is not neutral; perception is colored by race. To get anywhere, this chapter argues, improvisation studies must take difference seriously. Important impetus for a more inclusive critical model comes from such fields as Black studies, Women’s studies, subaltern studies, queer studies, and disability studies.

Tulisan ini ingin mengulas biografi pemikiran seorang intelektual muda Aceh yaitu Kamaruzzaman Bustamam Ahmad. Pemilihan nama Kamaruzzaman Bustamam Ahmad (selanjutnya disebut KBA) dilakukan karena pertama, gagasan intelektualnya yang berpengaruh di Aceh. Secara umum, mazhab Acehnologi yang dikembangkan dari wacana subaltern studies, telah menarik perhatian publik dan diperbincangkan secara nasional maupun internasional. Kedua, karena nama tersebut telah menjadi perhatian penulis sejak tahun 2013, dimana penulis kemudian banyak berinteraksi dengan KBA mengkoleksi hampir seluruh karya tulisnya, dan mempelajari pemikiran-pemikirannya. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah diskursus analisis, berupa analisa dan bedah terhadap karya dan pemikiran KBA. Dari studi pendahuluan, penulis mengetahui bahwa pada mulanya  yakni sejak tahun 1996 KBA memilih konsentrasi Islam Politik perihal hubungan antara keislaman dan kebangsaan. Pada tahun 2015, KBA kemudian beralih pada studi kawasan khususnya studi Asia Tenggara meliputi studi pemikiran Islam, Jama’ah Tabligh dan Terorisme.  Pada tahun 2009 bertepatan dengan saat ia kembali ke Aceh, KBA mengerucutkan kajian ke dalam studi keacehan, hingga melahirkan mazhab Acehnologi pada tahun 2011. Sejak saat itu, hingga selanjutnya, penulis mengasumsikan pemikiran KBA dalam kerangka Acehnologi. Bahkan ketika tahun 2017 KBA melibatkan diri dalam diskusi Masa Depan Dunia, Islam Nusantara dan Imajinasi Kebangsaan, penulis masih meletakkannya dalam kerangka Acehnologi. Artinya, ketiga tema terakhir tersebut dibedah oleh KBA melalui world-view Acehnologi.
