Описание:
'British Women Missionaries in Bengal, 1793-1861' focuses on the contributions made by Dorothy Carey, Hannah Marshman, Mrs Yates, Mrs Pearce, Mary Ann Cooke, Mrs Mundy, Miss Bird, Mrs Weitbrecht and Hannah Mullens, even if some were to only suffer silently while others were more active in their mission to educate and uplift native girls and women. These women rendered invaluable service in running schools and boarding houses for girls, and providing shelter and security to widows and orphans in the missions. Their work was a pioneering contribution which helped build a defining space and agency for women's activities within a patriarchal colonial society. Their role and the challenges they faced have greatly shaped our understanding of the 'woman's question' and future mission activities by women, for women in the Indian society.
The period under study sees the advent of the British in India and the beginning of colonialism and argues that the arrival of the Western missionary women led to extensive contestations and transformations in the role of women, in both India and Britain. It is important to understand exactly what was at stake when white women were brought in with a special imperial 'burden of civilizing' their counterparts in the colonies. 'British Women Missionaries in Bengal, 1793-1861' focuses on the contradictory nature of such positions in terms of dominance and subordination. These 'sisters of mission' were, albeit to a limited extent, seen as empowered agents responsible for civilizing and liberating their 'other' sisters. As the book works to illustrate, these first generation of emancipationists were not doing it for a universal, suffering, downtrodden sisterhood; neither were they articulate in their arguments for female emancipation. On the contrary, there was the struggle to adapt themselves to the challenges of complex factors like physical displacement from home, emotional bareness, economic dependence, family responsibilities, diseases and death, and psychological pressure to fit into a stereotype of a good missionary/wife - a role predetermined for them and many a times without their consent, which suited the largely male-dominated colonizing and proselytizing missions in British India. The issue of 'woman's question' was more about the demonstration of white women's moral authority, as distinguished from political authority exercised by men, and clearly differentiated in the private and public domains. Their moral superiority, though limited to domestic spheres, helped ratify the public imperial space as beneficial. This then was their responsibility towards their race, nation and for the empire itself.
'British Women Missionaries in Bengal, 1793-1861' chronicles and historicizes women missionaries' contributions in Bengal, from the participation of the wives of missionaries, particularly the Baptist missionaries of Serampore and Calcutta, and their role typically as 'helpmeets', to single women missionaries who began arriving in the latter part of the period under study. The transition from 'wives of missionaries' to 'missionary women' was one of negotiation - a negotiation of women's position within a very constricted patriarchal colonial framework. As 'agents' of emancipating the 'other' women, these women missionaries inadvertently opened a similar space for themselves which largely redefined their roles and identity. The book also demonstrates that the initial stages of missionary activities, secular or for conversion, were often without reflecting or internalizing native women's position, place or their identity in the present society. Part of what has created a veritable tension between women's role and imperialism has been the way Western feminism has ignored the realities and complexities of feminism and has universalized Western women's experiences as representative of 'problems of women'. Their entire exercise of educating and 'uplifting' native women for

Описание: Diagnosed with minor schizophrenia at a young age, bullied, and friendless, Lumen seemed to be stuck with a rough life. Despite what the doctors and his mother said, Lumen did not feel sick; all he saw were panels of lights that others could not. He found that there may be more meaning to the lights and embarked on a journey that led him to Bonumalus, the land of Water, Fire, Earth, and Air. Lumen had to decide what was real and if he should continue in this new world.

Описание: This book is an ode to the mythological heritage of Bharatanatyam. The visual narrative captures the rich heritage of this temple dance and its original exponents, the Devadasis or `handmaidens of the deity`. Its repertoire of movements and moods bring alive the fascinating stories of Hindu gods and goddesses and their kaleidoscopic lives.
Описание: At the core of this book is a series of conversations with five British artist Black women who exhibited in both Lubaina Himid’s 1985 The Thin Black Line and 2011 Thin Black Line(s) exhibitions: Sutapa Biswas, Sonia Boyce (OBE), Lubaina Himid (MBE, Turner Prize nominee), Claudette Johnson and Ingrid Pollard. The conversations explore their memories of art education and early careers,their experiences in the Black Arts Movement of the 1980s, and their responses to the exhibition Thin Black Line(s) at Tate Britain in 2011, a quarter of a century after the original installation at the ICA in 1985, to reflect upon the issues of race and gender over that period in terms of how Black artist women have collaborated, made art, organized and conversed despite the failure of the British art institutions to sustain, conserve and study their work. Specifically avoiding the classic form of the artist interview, this book draws on a methodology not used in art history before: Constructivist Grounded Theory, which arrives at new theories of how individuals experience the world and act in it through analysing discourse generated in informal but structured conversation that seeks to discover new knowledge, rather than to impose existing theoretical models or concepts on experience as delivered in speech.Voices of Art, Belonging and Resistance is an analysis of the structural racism of British art institutions as experienced by Black subjects, and it also inflects that larger issue specifically with issues of gender and sexuality. Avoiding the now much abused concept of intersectionality, the method allows the intricacies of race, class, gender and sexuality to be in play at all times across the accounts of life experience as artists of the subjects being interviewed and the analysis of the discourse thus generated and art historically and culturally analysed.
