| Culture and Development |
| (General Editor : Kapila Vatsyayan; Editor : Baidyanath Saraswati)“Culture and Development” is an ‘ongoing’ series from the prestigious, internationally-reputed Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) setting out compelling, multidisciplinary perspectives on development issues vis-a-vis ecology, identity questions, and lifestyles — in fact, vis- -vis the whole range of cultural variables and definitions.From the post-World War II decolonizaion to about mid-1980s, mainstream development thinking has focused on ‘economics’, on the one-dimensional abstraction of homo economicus, to the exclusion of all else: specially the socio-cultural context in which development might take place. This divorce of ‘development’ from ‘culture’, however, was ‘poor economics’ — a hard fact which the international community has come to discover gradually, experientially. The United Nations too was not found wanting in its shared concern for culture. On 21 January 1988, it launched-under the aegis of Unesco, “The World Decade for Cultural Development” in its effort chiefly to (a) strengthen awareness of cultural dimension of development, and (b) enrich cultural identities the world over.As a part of the Unesco Chair activities, in the Indian capital, IGNCA has organized, from time to time, multidisciplinary discourses/conferences on development issues vis- -vis the whole range of cultural variables and definitions. These have been covered in their entirety under the Culture and Development series: Volumes 1-6. |

| Man and Forest Series |
| (General Editors: Klaus Seeland; Franz Schmithusen) "Man and Forest" Series comprises monographs/readers on the use and management of forests as well as forest lifestyles in various regions of South Asia. These monographs are the outcome of a cross-cultural research project (1992-99), involving the Chair of Forest Policy and Forest Economics. Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) and Non-Government as well as Government organisations in India, Nepal and Bhutan.In the management of renewable resources, forests play undeniably a vital role and, as never before, their conservation is an urgency. In view of this dire necessity, the series "Man and Forest" tries to highlight the relevance of indigenous knowledge of forests and renewable natural resources in South Asian communities and societies in sustainable management of their local livelihood systems.A scientific inquiry into indigenous knowledge is basically an effort to discover/rediscover local traditional modes of production and conservation. Quite often, they turn out to be an appropriate means to cope with the problems of modernity affecting the lives of the rural poor who live in precarious environments amidst fast-depleting local resources. |

| Hyderabad Studies in Philosophy |
| The Hyderabad Studies in Philosophy came into existence with a view to promote creative, rigorous and broad based thinking in Philosophy. Philosophy in the contemporary times has been mostly conceived within the framework of a narrow specialization. Contrary to this current thinking, the Hyderabad Studies in Philosophy takes a definite stand point which views philosophy to be multifaceted and thus allows various traditions of thinking to grow which finally give rise to a creative and dynamic conception of philosophy. Its objective is to study Human Reality by taking the three parameters — language, mind and culture into account. The Hyderabad Studies in philosophy is closely associated with the research activities and academic aspirations of the department of philosophy at University of Hyderabad. The central objective that predominates the research activities of the department is to carry out the interdisciplinary research involving disciplines such as linguistics, artificial intelligence, history and sociology. In this respect studies have been specially made in some of the frontier areas of philosophy such as philosophy of language both western and Indian, philosophy and history of science, logic, artificial intelligence and modelling of the mind, and philosophy relating to social, political and ethical issues. Keeping this research perspective in view, the Hyderabad studies in philosophy has been conceived as a principle channel through which studies in these diverse fields of research may be given concrete shape by publishing volumes in the respective areas. |
