These are two PDF files of articles that I’ve published on Marxist theory and social movements and the Narmada movement respectively. The former – “History Does Nothing” – is an article on the philosophical anthropology of Karl Marx and how it can constitute the basis for a Marxist theory of social movements. It was published in Sosiologisk Årbok in 2007. The latter – “On New Social Movements and the Reinvention of India” – uses the case of the Narmada movement to reflect on the characteristics and dynamics of new social movements in India. It was published in Forum for Development Studies in 2007.
