Hardcover. Condition: New. This book is a colonial history of the Hindu temple. Despite the bewildering diversity of places, materials, and structures described by the term "Hindu temple", a particular understanding of these edifices emerged during the imperial encounter in India from 1800 onwards. Deborah Sutton presents the defining preoccupations through which colonial understandings of the temple took shape: wealth, sensuality, depravity, and devotion. Her analysis draws on a wide range of literary, visual, and bureaucratic sources to encompass religious, cultural, archaeological, imperial, and art histories. The book charts the influence of several prominent scholars and writers: James Fergusson, Ram Raz, Rudyard Kipling, E.M. Forster, and Stella Kramrisch. It also charts less renowned voices that were sidelined by imperial history. Ruling Devotion highlights the Hindu temple as a place at which the imperial gaze was held and challenged. Through a series of case studies, it demonstrates that the colonial state rarely, and even then only temporarily, got its own way at the Hindu temple. Deborah Sutton is Professor of South Asian History, Department of History, Lancaster University. She has researched and published on the environmental, political, and cultural histories of modern South Asia. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Combines historical, literary, art historical, and archaeological perspectives to explore the idea of the Hindu temple in the British colonial imagination.A History Today's 2024 Book of the YearFrom 1800 onwards, the Hindu temple occupied a fragile and uneasy proximity to Imperial governance in India. The colonial state sought to regulate and extract the wealth of large temples. Imperial scholars classified the extraordinary diversity of architectural forms from across India, and selected temples were defined as monuments and brought into the custody of Imperial archaeology. Over time, the Imperial literary imagination transformed the Hindu temple from a place of worship and devotion into a space of wealth, sensuality, and violence. However, the Hindu temple also tested the Imperial state. Devotees and trustees manipulated and rejected attempts at governance, and the Hindu temple became a site at which the authority of the state was persistently modified or curtailed. Ruling Devotion combines historical, literary, art historical, and archaeological perspectives to explore the idea of the temple in particular localities, through the formation of pan-British-Indian policy and in the broadest of transnational realms of Imperial culture. Drawing on a huge range and diversity of archival materials, the book explores the preoccupations and frailties of the colonial state in India.…
