 Indo-Persian Travels in the Age of Discoveries, 1400-1800 By Muzaffar Alam, Sanjay Subrahmanyam 2007 | 416 Pages | ISBN: 0521129559 | PDF | 29 MB Originally published in 2007, this fascinating work is based on detailed and sensitive readings of travel accounts in Persian, dealing with India, Iran and Central Asia between around 1400 and 1800. The first comprehensive treatment of this neglected genre of literature (safar nama), it links the Mughals, Safavids and Central Asia in a crucial period of transformation and cultural contact. The authors' close reading of these travel accounts help us enter the mental and moral worlds of the Muslim and non-Muslim literati who produced these valuable narratives. These accounts are presented in a comparative framework, which sets them side by side with other Asian accounts, as well as early modern European travel narratives, and opens up a rich and unsuspected vista of cultural and material history. This book can be read for a better understanding of the nature of early modern encounters, but also for the sheer pleasure of entering a new world.
 Neilesh Bose, "India after World History: Literature, Comparison, and Approaches to Globalization " English | ISBN: 9087283865 | 2022 | 264 pages | PDF | 2 MB "In the twenty-first century, terms such as globalization, global, and world function as key words at the cusp of new frontiers in both historical writing and literary criticism. Practitioners of these disciplines may appear to be long time intimate lovers when seen from pre and early modern time periods, only to divorce with the coming of Anglophone world history in the twenty-first century. In recent years, works such as Martin Puchner's The Written World, Maya Jasanoff's The Dawn Watch, or the three novels that encompass Amitav Ghosh's Ibis Trilogy, have rekindled a variant of history and literature's embrace in a global register. This book probes recent scholarship concerning reflections on global history and world literature in the wake of these developments, with a primary focus on India as a site of extensive theoretical and empirical advances in both disciplinary locations. Inclusive of reflections on the meeting points of these disciplines as well as original research in areas such as Neo-Platonism in world history, histories of violence, and literary histories exploring indentured labor and capitalist transformation, the book offers reflections on conceptual advances in the study of globalization by placing global history and world literature in conversation.

 How Money Acts Like an Evolving Organism: Exploring Implications of the Biological Analogy of Money As Species By T. R. Fenton 2010 | 179 Pages | ISBN: 0773414096 | PDF | 2 MB This book considers the dramatic and evolutionary concept of money in the context of social reality, examining how 'species of money' can be perceived as patterns of objects of which we have no sensory awareness. Money as Species is a critical theory of money based on social construction and provides a multi-disciplinary synthesis strongly guided by the institutional philosophy of John R. Searle. An information-based ontology of social reality is used to reframe existential questions about money and species, and develop new concepts that enable money as species to be explored. The major contributions of this work are in the fields of biology and sociology. The concept of conjugate species addresses the species problem through adaptation of the ecological species concept to social reality and agency of artifacts. The constructivist model directly applies the conjugate species concept in computer simulation. The study has little o do with contemporary economics; rather it is about acquiring the cognitive tools to understand the evolutionary cost of our servitude to money. |
