“…Broadening the definition of conflict exposed clusters to <= 75 and <= 100 km increased our estimated effect sizes. This could be due to the concentration of violent events in rural and hilly areas, and the large size of districts (average diameters of 79 km) [ 40 ], which comprise administrative and police jurisdiction units in India [ 71 ]. Information on violent events also likely spreads through mass and social media, increasing the likelihood of spillover effects beyond neighborhoods [ 5 ].…”

“…In India, this captures conflict events from the Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) conflict in the north, the Naxal-Maoist insurgency in western, central and eastern states, insurgencies in the north-east, and violence from Hindu-Muslim riots, all extended conflicts which have been occurring since India’s independence in 1947 [ 48 ]. Importantly, UCDP omits other important extended conflicts, including caste related violence, violence against Muslims and other minorities [ 40 , 50 , 51 ].…”

“…Finally, despite an extensive literature studying conflicts as a social and political determinant of child health, quantitative evidence from India on conflicts and children’s growth and overall physical health is sparse [ 4 ]. With multiple social, religious and linguistic groups and a history of different types of extended conflicts [ 4 , 40 ], India also contributes to a third of stunted and half of wasted children, globally [ 41 , 42 ].…”

Background Protracted, internal conflicts with geographic variations within countries, are an important understudied community exposure for adverse child health outcomes. Methods Violent events from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) between January 2016–December 2020 and January 2010–December 2015, were included as exposure events for children sampled in National Family Health Surveys (NFHS) 5 (2019–21) and NFHS 4 (2015–16), respectively. Geocoded data from UCDP were merged with residential clusters from NFHS, to identify children living in villages or urban blocks situated at <= 50 km from conflict sites. Within these clusters, which we defined as conflict exposed, we studied risks of stunting, underweight and wasting in children, prenatally, and in 0–3 years. We assessed sensitivity on a subsample of siblings with discordant conflict exposures. Results For NFHS 5, exposure to violence between 0 and 3 years was associated with 1.16 times (95% CI 1.11–1.20) higher risks of stunting, 1.08 (1.04, 1.12) times higher risks of underweight, and no change in wasting. In-utero violence exposure was associated with 1.11 times (95% CI 1.04–1.17) higher risks of stunting, 1.08 (95% CI 1.02–1.14) times higher risks of underweight, and no change in wasting, among children <= 2 years. In 17,760 siblings of 8333 mothers, exposure to violence during 0–3 years, was associated with a 1.19 times higher risk of stunting (95% CI − 0.24 to 0.084). Incremental quartiles of violence exposure had higher risks of stunting and underweight until quartile 3. Conclusion In-utero and early childhood indirect exposure to protracted conflicts were associated with increased stunting and underweight in India. Given the continued exposures of such historically and contextually rooted internal conflicts in many LMICs, chronic violence exposures should be targeted in public health policies as important social and political determinant of child health.

“…More specifically, as Rose (2002) notes, geography has also focused upon theorising organised opposition (see Brown 2007;Peters 1998;Routledge 1996Routledge , 1997Martin and Pierce 2013). This focus upon the geography of collective action cuts across many sub-sections of the discipline: Cloke et al (2016) look at religion and contemporary activism in the Occupy movement, Flusty (2011) examines play as resistance to new developments in Los Angeles; Naseemullah (2018) analyses riots in India, and Murrey (2016) focuses upon community-led activity to fight against the Chad-Cameroon oil pipeline. Common across these empirically disparate accounts is an understanding of resistance in response to a particular configuration of power relations: resistance is placed in a dialectical relationship to power.…”

Critical Geographies of Resistance

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Critical Geographies of Resistance emerges from a recognition that the contemporary geopolitical moment is characterised by an increase in actions that are recognised as, or claim to be, 'resistant'. The rise of the far right, the decimation of the natural environment and the responses to the so-called refugee 'crisis' are illustrative of these disturbing times. This book contends that revisiting debates on what we mean by 'resistance' may go some way to question how geographers can, or should, respond to the contemporary moment.The chapters comprising this edited book therefore critically interrogate the political work of resistance in the contemporary moment. The authors carefully explore the multiple and everyday spaces, subjects and temporalities of resistance, and in doing so provide a novel approach to the study of resistance within geography. Together we aim to push forward debates on resistance in geography that perhaps have been stagnant over the last decade. That is not to say that there has not been scholarship on resisting and on resistance, but that a critical discussion on terminology of resistance remains missing. Whilst resistance has a long and rich history within geography, the book emerges from a recognition that tracing the concept of resistance within geography reveals a paradox: resistance is everywhere, and yet, surprisingly, elusive. Furthermore, whilst the conceptual vocabulary for resistance is increasingly diverse and splintered, and work on practices of resistance has proliferated, a critical engagement with resistance 'itself' has rarely been systematically engaged with, despite its apparent centrality to many geographical debates (for previous work,

“…This cold be the impact on the emergence of groups and communities in society. As a result of the communities within a society, the number of conflicts between communities occurs high because of the emergence of rivalry and competition in regard of superiority over ethnic or sectarian, religious groups, and even the culture (Naseemullah., 2017).…”

Culture as an abstraction of a dynamic human experience, tends to develop in line with development of the supporting communities. Babad Banyumas as a literary work of traditional history reflects the culture which tends to convey a transformative message, and many of which loaded with social life values of the community at the time which became the underlying guidance and characters of the Banyumas society. This study aims to explore the culture and local values of Banyumas community's social life reflected from the text of Babad Banyumas. This is a qualitative study which employs content analysis to Babad Banyumas text as the data analysis. The data was collected through observation and interviews with experts in history. Data analysis uses qualitative data analysis using display data, data reduction and data verification to find common themes. The results of the study found that there are manifested cultural values and concepts in Babad Banyumas among others the culture of showing gratitude ‘terima kasih’, cablaka, egalitarian, asceticism (tapa brata), freedom (free soul), and politeness, which are also effective in strengthening and instilling the local culture and social norms values appreciated and observed by Banyumas society.Keywords: cultural values, Babad Banyumas, social studies
