The Fragmentary Social Life of the Metroscene (with Rashmi Sadana)

Rashmi Sadana (Author and Associate Professor at George Mason University) talks about the metroscene in Delhi and how mega-infrastructure projects (re)shape cities and crowds, based on her extensive research and recent book The Moving City: Scenes from the Delhi Metro and the Social Life of Infrastructure, a vivid collection of stories on Delhi’s social and urban mobility landscape. Complemented by a reading of three vignettes from her book, we discuss the complexity of urban (im)mobility, the metroscene as an urban stage, gendered transit, ethnographic writing, and much more.
