Hardcover. Zustand: New. Acts of Seeing, Ways of Knowing refracts the nineteenth and twentieth centuries history of India through reception of the first two 'mass' forms of visual culture, photography and posters (those with the capacity to produce multiple copies). India's responses to a changing public world are revealed, intriguingly, through this visual-culture repertoire. Production and consumption of these material objects revolve especially around visual culture's capacity to prompt and express identity-narratives that draw on the nexus of a dramatic expansion of consumption practices with individual efforts to construct meaning by collecting, displaying, designing, and interacting with mass-produced materials. They emerge as markers of those intending to be good, modern, citizens, who are drawn, significantly, from both middle- and lower-class/caste participants. It is an important aspect of such interactions that these visuals begin as 'mass-produced' items. Paradoxically, perhaps, this means that such items though in multiples, provide new kinds of evidence, revealing how visual culture could express both collective and individual values in response to the challenges of change from the mid-nineteenth through the twentieth century. In particular, this study emphasizes 'doing', designed to distinguish sharply interactions between viewers and materials involving social action, from linguistic or semiotic interpretations, with such social action constituting meaning-making by those who view and consume these materials.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Visual Turn: South Asia Across the Disciplines explores new perspectives made possible by the evidence drawn from visual culture. This evidence is utilized by historians, literary analysts, anthropologists and, in a new way, art historians. Focusing on built environments within their urban contexts; the interactions of buildings, roads, and bodies; the meaning-making achieved through consumption of images (on their own or in concert with literary texts) all contribute to a much broader and deeper understanding of change in South Asia. Juxtaposed, these case studies not only approach their topics in a multi-disciplinary manner, but also make clear just what scholars from various disciplines can learn from each other to add nuance and depth to their own analyses. In the process, the authors demonstrate how the application of different methods and theorizing, when coupled with a fascinating range of types of evidence, contribute to a significant broadening of our abilities to interpret the past and the present.In particular, these essays bring new ways of thinking about cities as well as the multiple ways that visual culture contributes to individual and collective forms of identity-narratives that are negotiated at key moments of change in South Asia. Readers will see their own materials and historicized contexts with new eyes. This book was published as a special issue of South Asia: Journal of South Asian Studies.…
