SHILPA DAHAKE, "Riverscape As Spatiotemporal Subjects: Narratives Of Wetness, Dryness, And Socio-Cultural Interactions Along Godavari River, Nashik"
Rivers and cities together produce a complex spaces or ‘-scapes’ which are deeply intertwined and entangled. Even then, the multiplicities of this engagement do not sufficiently reflect in the urban governance and politics. In order to, conceptualize the river-city relationship, I build upon the anthropological scholarship on land-water nexus and extend it with an ethnographic case of Godavari River meandering through Nashik city, located in the western Indian state of Maharashtra.
