Music for Euro-Maoists: on the correct handling of contradictions among pop stars

Article Abstract:

The track 'Naxalite' by the London band Asian Dub Foundation is discussed, with a focus on cultural politics and the history of left-wing political activism in European popular music. Naxalite, associated with the communist revolutionary movement in India, is considered in relation to Arundhati Roy's novel 'The God of Small Things' and the stories of Mahasweta Devi translated by Gayatri Spivak.

Culture

Article Abstract:

Culture is believed as a key term in anthropology, a critical term that needs to be worked through powerful tropes that lead to issues in politics, interpretation, translation, stereotype and racism. A study evaluates street culture and culture as (development) resource, and assesses culture as souvenirs, trinkets and the ephemera of tourism as a modern commodity fetish.
