The Paradoxes and Possibilities of Urban Water in Interdisciplinary Anthropological Discourse for the Underprivileged
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 8
Abstract
Even though urban water has been considered as a crucial domain to sustain the overflowing population, the government often reckons solely on the upgradation of the technical efficiency which graciously has denied the cardinal relationship between people and water. While anthropology has a long tradition to deal with the question-„what is water?‟ Since decades it is (re)organizing the relationship between water, space, and citizen. In this paper authors explore how the contemporary „consensus and conflict‟ about the conceptualization of urban water are perceived within the colossal discourses of anthropology. By criticizing the hitherto hegemonic concept of „modern water‟, anthropology provides the concept of „hybrid water‟. It religiously recognizes the „socio-political nature‟ of urban water flow through the inquest of quotidian water governance related to health, infrastructure, legality, citizenship and state for the underprivileged.
