from #fieldnotes2011 When the tides of voices emerging from the margins, tell their stories, they offer lessons that disrupt your draconian rules. When the tides of voices emerging from the margins speak their truth, they shake up the lies that you have carefully woven. When the tides of voices emerging from the margins, sing their songs, they sow the seeds of hope. When the tides of voices emerging from the margins, make new rhythms, they remind you the end of your repression is near.
This blog offers Mohan Dutta's reflections on the theoretical framework of the culture-centered approach, examining the interplays among Structure, Culture, and Agency in shaping marginalisation and the ways in which communities at the margins challenge structures. Writings on the blog are continually being revised to reflect the organic analysis of structure and agency.
