Art, Travel and Collecting in Colonial India, C. 1797-1905 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Filling in gaps in a largely neglected cultural period, this study proposes that Mughal and Hindu visuality interrupted and undermined British cultural and administrative hegemony in India. Close examination of the lives of various objects reveals that, as they moved between temples, palaces, the bazaar, museums, private collections, and traveling exhibitions, these objects demonstrated their slippery agency and their ability to slide out of colonial definitions. Even during this most authoritarian epoch of empire, Natasha Eaton shows, there were spaces, places, and objects that raise important questions of overt and more subtle forms of resistance. Against the grain of a historiography that privileges the Imperial Picturesque, this book also focuses on how colonialists, and later Indian nationalists, traveled to collect or to see collections, and how a vernacular tourism was created that shook up the relationship between collecting and travel. From Sufi travel, to missionary collecting practices, to the political and artistic emergency of the 1857-58 Uprising, this volume illuminates the often strange and hybrid collecting practices that emerged in colonial India.

Travel, Art and Collecting in South Asia available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Travel, Art and Collecting in South Asia questions what are ideas of vertiginous collecting, art-making and museums as expanded fields, including wonder houses and missionary museums (or museobuses) in Britain and South Asia. If the historiography of British India has privileged photography and the 'Imperial Picturesque', the emphasis here is on the formation of a creole modernity, one that considers the relationship between art and labour, including pearlescence and pearl fishing in Sri Lanka, and the iconoclastic/fetish debates and forms of collecting amongst missionaries. Eaton explores these themes alongside the genealogies and modernities of white(ness) in contemporary curating and amateur female practice, and how the museobus or museum as a unique object has informed the work of contemporary artist group Raqs Media Collective. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, Asian history, and imperial and colonial history.
