Goddess and the Nation: Mapping Mother India
Language: English
Published by Duke University Press March 2010, 2010
ISBN 10: 0822346109 ISBN 13: 9780822346104
Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Very Good. Making the case for a new kind of visual history, 'The Goddess and the Nation' charts the pictorial life and career of Bharat Mata, 'Mother India,' the Indian nation imagined as mother/goddess, embodiment of national territory, and unifying symbol for the country's diverse communities. Soon after Mother India's emergence in the late nineteenth century, artists, both famous and amateur, began to picture her in various media, incorporating the map of India into her visual persona. The images they produced enabled patriotic men and women in a heterogeneous population to collectively visualize India, affectively identify with it, and even become willing to surrender their lives for it. Filled with illustrations, including 100 in color, 'The Goddess and the Nation' draws on visual studies, gender studies, and the history of cartography to offer a rigorous analysis of Mother India's appearance in painting, print, poster art, and pictures from the late nineteenth century to the present. By exploring the mutual entanglement of the scientifically mapped image of India and a (Hindu) mother/goddess, Sumathi Ramaswamy reveals Mother India as a figure who relies on the British colonial mapped image of her dominion to distinguish her from the other goddesses of India, and to guarantee her novel status as embodiment, sign, and symbol of national territory. Providing an exemplary critique of ideologies of gender and the science of cartography, Ramaswamy demonstrates that images do not merely reflect history; they actively make it. In 'The Goddess and the Nation,' she teaches us about pictorial ways of learning the form of the nation, of how to live with it--and ultimately to die for it. A history of the evolving idea of India in the 20th century, as seen through visual representations of the goddess Mother India.

Photographing Civil Disobedience: Bombay 19301931 (Paperback)
Language: English
Published by Mapin Publishing Pvt.Ltd, Ahmedabad, 2025
ISBN 10: 9394501959 ISBN 13: 9789394501959
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Drawn from a rare and historical album, this volume takes readers on a visual journey of the unfolding of the Civil Disobedience Movement in and around Bombay (today's Mumbai). Photographing Civil Disobedience: Bombay 1930-31 brings together an interdisciplinary conversation around a rare collection of documentary photographs compiled in a historical album held in the Alkazi Collection of Photography, New Delhi. The album features 245 black-and-white images that capture the extraordinary history of the Civil Disobedience Movement in Bombay (now Mumbai), when the city's cosmopolitan streets came alive with anti-colonial protests, processions, and propaganda--from the leading role played by the desh sevikas (members of a nationalist women's organization) to the violent crackdown of police lathis (bamboo or wooden sticks) on non-violent demonstrators. Focusing on the sea of ordinary people participating in public events, the essays in the volume engage with this remarkable visual archive that captures on camera the streets of Bombay turning into sites of anti-colonial and nationalist assertion. This book will be of interest to scholars of gender and women's studies, urban studies, screen and visual studies, consumer history, as well as the material history of colonial India. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Gandhi in the Gallery
Language: English
Published by Roli Books Pvt Ltd, IN, 2021
ISBN 10: 8194425786 ISBN 13: 9788194425786
Hardback. Condition: New. Mohandas K. Gandhi has been described as 'an artist of non-violence,' crafting as he did a set of practices of the self and politics that earned him the mantle of Mahatma, 'the great soul.' His philosophy and praxis of satyagraha, non-violent civil disobedience, has been analysed extensively. But is satyagraha also an aesthetic regime, with practices akin to a work of art? Is Gandhi, then, an artist of disobedience? Sumathi Ramaswamy explores these questions with the help of India's modern and contemporary artists who have over the past century sought out the Mahatma as their muse and invested in him across a wide range of media from painting and sculpture to video installation and digital production. At a time when Gandhi is a hallowed but hollow presence, why have they lavished so much attention on him? A hundred and fifty years after his birth, Gandhi is hyper visible across the Indian landscape from tea stalls and government offices to museums and galleries. This is ironical given that the Mahatma appeared to have had little time for the visual arts or for artists for that matter. Yet fascinatingly, the visual artist has emerged as Gandhi's conscience-keeper, reminding others of the meaning of the Mahatma in his own time and today. In so doing, these artists also reveal why this most disobedient of 'modern' icons has grabbed their attention, resulting in a veritable art of disobedience as an homage to one of the twentieth century's great prophets of disobedience.
