Dislocation and resettlement in development

Challenging the more conventional approaches to dislocation and resettlement that are the usual focus of discussion on the topic, this book offers a unique theory of dislocation in the form of primitive accumulation.

Interrogating the reformistmanagerial and radicalmovementist approaches, it historicizes and politicizes the event of dislocation as a moment to usher in capitalism through the medium of development. Such a framework offers alternative avenues to rethinking dislocation and resettlement, and indeed the very idea of development. Arguing that dislocation should not be seen as a necessary step towards achieving progress as it is claimed in the development discourse the authors show that dislocation emerges as a socio-political constituent of constructing capitalism.

This book will be of interest to academics working on development studies, especially on issues relating to the political economy of development and globalization.

Anjan Chakrabarti is Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Calcutta, India. His publications most recently include (as co-author) Transition and Development in India (also published by Routledge).

Preface

To increase the accuracy of planetary theory, Ptolemys successors added epicycles to epicycles and eccentrics to eccentrics, exploiting the immense versatility of the fundamental Ptolemaic technique. But, paraphrasing Thomas Kuhn, they seldom or never sought fundamental modifications of that technique. The problem of the planets had simply become a problem of design, a problem to be attacked principally by the rearrangement of existing elements. In adding more and more circles, Ptolemys successors had simply been patching and stretching the Ptolemaic system to force its conformity with observations; the very necessity of such patching and stretching was showing that a radically new approach was imperatively required. Even a single observation incompatible with theory demonstrates that one has perhaps been employing the wrong theory magination of resettlement all along. The existing conceptual scheme must therefore be abandoned and replaced. Hence, to Copernicus, the behaviour of the planets was incompatible with the two-sphere universe. However, what to us is now patching and stretching was to Ptolemys successors a natural process of adaptation and extension. Such is the mental groove; such is the anatomy of (scientific) belief; such is the cognitive enslavement.

To attend to and address the injustice of gross physical displacement and subtle dislocations of forms of life as a consequence of development projects, the mainstream has added to the
