Sažetak

This paper interrogates how Paṭṭaṇavar fisher communities in the Union Territory of Pondicherry, India, imagine their relationship to their environment and examines what the author calls their “flood imaginary”, or traditional mechanisms for understanding, mitigating and coping with seasonal flood. The Paṭṭaṇavar flood imaginary will be put into conversation with GoPY (Government of Pondicherry) efforts to rehabilitate tsunami-affected communities and the development ideologies upon which such projects are based. The author critiques the stark shift from traditional coping mechanisms to government-mandated “improvement” strategies and argues instead for a policy that integrates external expertise with local/traditional knowledge.
