ABSTRACT
It is not my intention to be redundant in my analysis of people’s Marxist theoretical orientation that they apply to their everyday lives by using a Marxist theoretical perspective. Rather, I will analyze the aesthetics of political actors’ theoretical sensibilities and how it impacts their sense of who they are and their political orientation in the local context of Nepali politics. Put in a different light, I will look at the preferred symbolic associations that influence ANNISU-R’s organizational forms – what counts as part of a scientific organization and how they rationalize it through their everyday practices (Lounsbury and Ventresca 2003). It is for this reason that I will focus on ANNISU-R’s internal institutional culture. I will analyze how the notion of scientific organization impacts the internal institutional culture of the ANNISU-R, a student organization, and its relationship with its mother organization, the CPN-M.
