Paying particular attention to the material processes by which success is achieved and the different meanings and discourses that they act to perform, this book offers a timely and novel approach to how the world of development NGOs and development ideologies work. The author argues that the College, as a prolific producer of various forms of development media, achieves its success through materially mediated heterotopic spectacles: enacted and imperfect utopias that constitute the desires, imaginings and Otherness of its society. The chapters that follow consider the different scenarios through which success was realised at the College.New ethnographies.Non-governmental organizationsIndiaRajasthaBarefoot College.Bunker Roy.Development.Heterotopia.NGO.Solar.Spectacle.Non-governmental organizations068.54Allen Stewart324665MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813181803321An ethnography of NGO practice in India3972065UNINA
