Contesting Spaces and Civil resistance movements: A case study on India's #FeeMustFall Movement
The
paper intends to conduct a spatial reading of civil resistance movements taking
Jawaharlal Nehru University’s (JNU) #FeeMustFall in India as the case study.
Amidst penetration of neoliberal politics in public goods like health and
education, the pay-per-user principle is not limited to the argument of
efficiency of allocation of resources. It can be comprehended as the larger
strategy of the ruling dispensation to deplatform dissent and homogenise state
space on an ideological singularity catering to majoritarian and hegemonic nationalism.
The paper shall focus on the spatial reading of civil resistance movements
using Lefebvre’s characterisation of state space and Gramsci’s understanding of
hegemony and nationalism locating in the context of JNU’s #FeeMustFall movement.
