Ceasefire City

- Militarism, Capitalism, and Urbanism in Dimapur

Om Ceasefire City

For a city in India''s northeast that has been embroiled in the everyday militarization and violence of Asia''s longest-running separatist conflict, Dimapur remains ''off the map''. With no ''glorious'' past or arenas where events of consequence to mainstream India have taken place, Dimapur''s essence is experienced in oral histories of events, visual archives of the everyday life, lived reality of military occupation, and anxieties produced in making urban space out oftribal space.Ceasefire City captures the dynamics of Dimapur. It brings together the fragmented sensibilities granted and contested in particular spaces and illustrates the embodied experiences of the city. The first part explores military presence, capitalist growth, and urban expansion in Dimapur. The second part presents an ethnographic account of lived realities and the meanings that are forged in a frontier city.
