Environmental Movements in India - A Historical Perspective
Authors: Rikki Roshan M. , Alexander Femila
Published: April 2024

This research paper explores the beginnings, significant turning points, and effects on policy and public awareness of the historical development of environmental movements in India. In India, environmental movements have arisen in reaction to several issues such as land degradation, climate change, industrial pollution, deforestation, and water scarcity. With protests against exploitative forestry practices and dam construction projects during the colonial era, modern environmental activism emerged. Its roots are in India’s rich cultural past, where reverence for nature has been engrained for millennia. Following independence, attention turned to projects fuelled by development, which created tensions between industry and conservation. Notable campaigns against environmental degradation and displacement include the Chipko Movement in the 1970s, in which peasants embraced trees to stop deforestation, and the Narmada Bachao Andolan in the 1980s, which protested against massive dam projects. To fully appreciate the intricacies, motivations, and consequences of environmental movements in India, it is imperative that we first grasp their historical trajectory. This will help us to better shape sustainable development paths for the twenty-first century.

Between Resisting and Reaffirming: How the Body Matters in Geetanjali Shree’s Tomb of Sand
Authors: Kavya Mitchi D , Vinusuthan W
Published: April 2024

The consideration of body as a space allows for the investigation into the manner in which the body is constructed and perceived. Research has shown that bodies acquire meanings that transcend the sphere of biology. This research aims to present an intersection between body studies and spatial literary studies. Through the analysis of the novel Tomb of Sand by Geetanjali Shree, the paper claims that body of the protagonist Ma functions as a space to perform twofold functions. On one hand, the space of her body, permits Ma to resist the familial and societal roles imposed on her. On the other hand, it becomes a liberative space wherein Ma reaffirms her identity as an emancipated woman. Through a textual analysis of Ma and her interactions with the other characters, this paper seeks to evaluate the space of the body. It relies on the theoretical perspectives on the concept of agency and the body by Adriana Zaharijevic. The paper thus contributes to the larger discourse on the body by offering spatial dimension to body studies.
Examination of How Perception and Influence Impacts the Lives of Children with Chronic Illness in John Green’s Novel The Fault in Our Stars
Authors: Elshina J , Sangeetha S
Published: April 2024

It is unacceptable to disregard fiction reading and writing as the caprices of a reality-deluded individual. Instead, it is an effective instrument for illuminating unsaid real-life incidents that are frequently disregarded despite existing as (non-fictitious) facts in the world. Fiction gives these mute voices a platform for discourse that would otherwise have stayed as monologues in the dark. Illness narratives are one such effort to advocate on behalf of the voiceless. One such author who sheds light on the psychological struggles faced by young adults with chronic illnesses is John Green. His book The Fault in Our Stars gives a realistic picture of the struggles that children with chronic illnesses confront on a daily basis. Frequently, people pay little attention to how someone, particularly a young adult with a chronic disease, interprets everything that goes on around them and how that interpretation eventually affects their attitude and sense of insight about life. The article seeks to highlight the psychological aspect of how a person’s lifestyle is directly impacted by the influence of particular individuals and shifts in perception.

Water has a dichotomy of irony of face depicting the serene nature and the arrogant face of the environment. As a result of the ruthless act of the humans towards their milieu, the mankind has to face the unprecedented challenges across the world. The curated information regarding the scarcity of water and the construction of dam to arrest the current of water are discussed exhaustively by the erudite writers of India, Rabindranath Tagore and Suryaganthan. The former being the writer of Bengal and the latter, the regional writer of Tamil Nadu.

Published: April 2024

Este estudo analisou a dinâmica da paisagem em uma área específica da planície costeira de Calçoene, Amapá, no período de 1993 a 2020. A metodologia envolveu dois métodos de análise geoespacial: a classificação supervisionada do uso e cobertura da terra e a variação da linha de costa, método de polígono de mudanças. Foram utilizadas imagens do satélite Landsat 5TM (03/08/1993) e Landsat 8 OLI (13/08/2014 e 16/10/2020), além de sobrevoos de drone para validação das coberturas. Identificou-se diversas classes de uso e cobertura da terra, incluindo vegetação florestal e campestre, manguezal, planície de maré arenosa, corpos d'água, pastagem, entre outras. Em relação à linha de costa, observou-se predominância de processos erosivos. Entre 1993 e 2020, houve uma perda de 1.507,68 hectares e um ganho de 96,99 hectares, sendo que a erosão representou 93,99% das áreas de mudanças, enquanto a acreção foi responsável por 6%. A cobertura mais afetada pelos processos erosivos foi o mangue com espécies associadas em planície de Chenier, com perda de 14,85 hectares ao longo desse período. Os resultados confirmaram a ocorrência de mudanças significativas em curtos períodos na área e contribuem para o reconhecimento físico e ambiental, visando à geração de instrumentos de gestão costeira.
Historical aspect of sustainable development in globalization

Published: April 2024

Introduction. The article analyzes in a formal-historical approach, the conceptual evolution of the terminology of sustainable development, which initially has mainly ecological interaction, but later begins to include social values in its definition, when a connection is established with the well-being of future generations. As a result, international society introduced the concept of "sustainable development", which involves preventive actions, with the practice of government regulation related to initiatives that involve economic growth, social justice and environmental preservation in the context of globalization.

Method (methodology). The methodological basis of the research is scientific works on issues of sustainable development in the conditions of globalization. The research methodology is based on the fundamental principles of dialectics, induction and deduction, which allow to identify the main characteristics of the studied socio-economic phenomena and processes in their relationship, to determine the key trends of their formation, formation and sustainable development.
Results. The results of the study allowed us to conclude that despite different approaches and understandings of "sustainable", "balanced", "stable" and "sustainable" development, it is worth noting that the goals of development are directly related to peace and stability. The relationship between peace, on the one hand, and food security, on the other, is one of the factors determining the absolute necessity of balanced sustainable development on a global scale at the current stage. Balanced sustainable development is the development of a society in which living conditions improve, and the impact on the environment remains within the economic capacity of the biosphere, so the natural basis of human functioning is not destroyed. With sustainable balanced development, the satisfaction of needs is carried out without harming future generations, and the concept of development is perceived as a prerequisite for the long-term progress of mankind, accompanied by the increase of capital and the improvement of environmental conditions. It is worth noting that for Ukraine, balanced development must necessarily be accompanied by a departure from the "debt-dependent economic model" focused on consumption.
