    MAGICAL REALIST SOCIOLOGIES OF BELONGING AND BECOMING
    RODANTHI TZANELLI
    At the bottom of the sea, freedivers find that the world bestows humans with the magic of bodily and mental freedom, binding them in small communities of play, affect and respect for nature. On land, rational human interests dissolve this magic into prescriptive formulas of belonging to a profession, a nation and an acceptable modernity. The magical exploration is morphed by su...

    CINEMATIC TOURIST MOBILITIES AND THE PLIGHT OF DEVELOPMENT
    RODANTHI TZANELLI

    MOBILITY, MODERNITY AND THE SLUM
    RODANTHI TZANELLI
    Only virtuous humans are supposed to move in time to meet their happy destiny or karma. The tale of Jamal in Slumdog Millionaire is such a case of serendipitous mobility towards riches and love – a ‘journey’ in which good heroes and urban communities respecting solidarity are successfully modernised. Unsurprisingly, the film became tangled in many controversies around India’s d...
