The flagship project, PETRAE , initiated in the 1980s, combines several Latin, Greek, and Gallic epigraphic corpora encoded in EpiDoc, based on comprehensive and detailed records. Its latest evolution, PETRAE 3.0, includes an interactive web interface and 3D visualization to facilitate the study of inscriptions. Other notable projects, such as ADOPIA , which specializes in the onomastics of the Roman Iberian Peninsula, and PATRIMONIVM , dedicated to Roman imperial properties, demonstrate Ausonius’ dynamism in applying digital technologies to ancient history. The future convergence of these databases into a common platform will optimize digital scholarly editing and facilitate collaborative research.Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , “Invisible Workers, Visible Stereotypes”: Analysing the Complex Realities of Migrant Women in Kerala, India(Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group, 2025-12) Menon, AnjanaIn this paper, the author finds that the representations of migrant workers in Kerala must be critically re-examined, not merely as reflections of economic necessity, but as complex cultural artifacts that reveal the interplay between historical prejudices and contemporary labour practices. This study calls for a more nuanced understanding of migration, one that acknowledges both the exploitative tendencies inherent in these representations and the potential for transformative change in the socio-cultural fabric of Kerala.Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Fleeing the Floods: Examining the Complex Realities of Climate Displacement in Thailand(Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group, 2025-12) Chaiyapa, Thida; Ruengvirayudh, Pornchanok; Pathan, Niranrak; Pooyongyuth, Karanyapas; Kanokjaros, Jarukit; Thansi, LakchayapornBased on field research following the 2024 floods in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, the study reveals that decisions to stay or relocate are shaped not only by environmental hazards but also by social ties, livelihoods, access to support, and the needs of vulnerable groups. The findings underscore the importance of inclusive, community-centred policies that strengthen resilience and ensure equitable protection in the face of climate change.Item type: Item , Access status: Open Access , Facing the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries’ Illiberal Migration Regime: Making Sense of Kafala System and its Impacts on Migrant Workers(Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group, 2025-12) Adula, Negera GudetaThis paper studies the kafala system and its socio-economic and human rights implications in the Gulf countries’ socio-economic and political governance architecture and its impacts on the migrant workers in the region. Methodologically and theoretically this paper is based on intersectionality theory to draw a nuanced understanding of how migrant workers in the Gulf region are exposed to layers of marginalities including gender, race, and class under the kafala migration governance regime. The paper also draws insights from Foucault’s analytical framework of biopolitics to offer a comprehensive account of how the authoritarian Gulf countries utilised kafala regime to regulate the migrant workers’ bodies and labour to protect the social order and exercise control. This paper explains the genesis of the kafala regime, and its rationalities that gradually evolved into illiberal migration governance regime affecting the migrant workers as the kafala becomes a regime of frontier production and consolidation of divides that are exclusionary and discriminatory migration governance regime.
