SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:The Making of the Cambridge History of the Modern Indian Subcontinent
DESCRIPTION:This conference celebrates the upcoming publication of the two-volume Cambridge History of the Modern Indian Subcontinent (co-edited by David Gilmartin\, Prasannan Parthasarthi\, & Mrinalini Sinha). The texts will mark the centenary of the original Cambridge History of India (published in 5 volumes between 1922-1937) as well as the 75th anniversary of the Independence and Partition of the subcontinent in 1947. \n\nThe new volumes will comprise approximately 70 commissioned essays\, covering the history of the modern Indian subcontinent from the founding of the Mughal Empire to the early 21st century. The two-volume Cambridge History of the Modern Indian Subcontinent will both reflect the changing contours of the region’s historiography since the 1980s and suggest openings for new directions.\n\nThe conference is open to the public. \nThe conference is made possible by the generous support of the College of Liberal Arts\, the Department of History\, and the Center for South Asian Studies\, University of Michigan.\n\n\nConference Schedule\n1014 Tisch Hall\n\nSept 23\n\n9:00-9:15 Welcome\n\nSession One (9:15 – 11:15) Contours of a Colonial Order\n\nMithi Mukherjee\, “Evolution of the colonial state”\nKaushik Roy\, “The Indian Army and the Garrison State\, 1830-1918”\nGopal Balachandran\, “India\, the ‘World Economy\,’ and the Emerging World Order”\n\nTea and Coffee Break\n\nSession Two (11:30-1:30) Genealogies of the Social\n\nSumathi Ramaswamy\, “Schooling India”\nPrachi Deshpande\, “The Making of Regions\, Regional Languages\, and Regional Identities in South Asia”\nRachel Sturman\, “Social Hierarchies: Changes and Continuities”\n\nLunch 1:30 -2:30\n\nSession Three: (2:45 -4:45) Political Economy\n\nDavid Ludden\, “Empire and Agriculture”\nSanjay Sharma\, “Famines\, Crises and Disasters” \nMahesh Rangarajan\, “Remaking the Wild: Fauna and Forest in Transition 1870s to 1920s”\n\n\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nSept 24\n\nSession One (9:30- 11:30) Home and the World\n\nSamita Sen\, “World of Labor\, 1830-1918” [virtual from Cambridge\, U.K]\nSubho Basu\, “Mobility and Migration: Indian Labor and the World\, 1830-1918”\nAbigail McGowan\, “Leisure and Consumption” \n\nTea and Coffee Break\n\nSession Two (11:45-1:15) Aspects of the Political\n\nProjit Mukharji\, “Health\, Disease\, and Medicine: Betwixt the Biomoral and the Biopolitical”\nManu Goswami\, “Political Thought and the Ideas of India”\n\nLunch 1:15- 2:30\n\nSession Three (2:30- 4:30) Publics and Institutions\n\nSandria Freitag\, “The Emergence of the “Public” as Practice and Idea”\nRohit De\, “Worlds of Law”\nNitin Sinha\, “Infrastructures of Transport and Communication\, 1760-1900s”\n\nFinal Discussion (4:30-5:30)\n\n*Unable to participate\nChandra Malampalli\, “Making Religious Communities\, 1830-1918”\nTanika Sarkar “The Making of the Domestic\, circa 1830-1918”
