SUMMARY:Dr Sarah Tiffin (Author): Raffles and the Course of Empire: Decoding Ruin Imagery in The History of Java
DESCRIPTION:When Raffles wrote his landmark publication The History of Java in 1817\, ruin sentiment was a fashionable if rather wistful turn of mind that had a considerable influence on British art and literature. The ruin was a popular motif in picturesque imagery\, serving as the stimulus for melancholic musings that ranged from deeply felt personal reflections on the brevity of life to grander meditations on the decline and fall of empire. It is not surprising\, then\, that with the establishment of the British interregnum government on Java in 1811\, the island’s Hindu and Buddhist architectural remains were brought into the lexicon of ruin appreciation. Nor is it surprising that Raffles devoted a whole chapter to the subject in his publication. This paper focusses on a number of archaeological drawings that were the basis for the plates and vignettes in The History of Java. In tracing how the images were transformed for publication\, it ponders the means by which British pictorial conventions associated with ruin appreciation influenced not only how artists depicted Java’s ruined candi\, but also how Raffles’s readers would have understood the illustrations and their wider implications for the state of Javanese civilisation\, both past and present.

SUMMARY:Guest Lecture - Dr. Ravinder Reddy - Numinous Imagery on Arms and Armour of the Indian Subcontinent
DESCRIPTION:Numinous Imagery on Arms and Armour of the Indian Subcontinent \nDr. Ravinder Reddy \n(Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry\, Univ of California San Diego; Board Member\, South Asian Arts Council of the San Diego Museum of Art) \n  \nIndian arms and armour are frequently adorned with auspicious and sacred imagery to induce shakti – divine power – to enter them\, thus transforming functional objects into implements that hold within them the quality of numen – magical or divine power. In battle\, empowered arms and armour serve to protect the warrior\, and to assist in achieving victory in both physical and spiritual realms. In peacetime\, these pluripotent symbols are aimed at warding off evil\, and to attract luck and wealth. During rituals\, often accompanied by dance\, weapons served to recreate on earth the mythic battles between good and evil. \n \nThis presentation will survey the varieties of Hindu sacred images – Goddesses\, Gods\, Demigods\, mythological beasts\, symbols – that adorn arms and armour of the Indian subcontinent\, and to explore the underlying reasons why these specific images may have been chosen amongst the vast pantheon of Indian sacred imagery. \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Dr. Ashmita Khasnabish Guest Lecture "Indian Imagination in a Postcolonial Context"
DESCRIPTION:The talk “Indian Imagination in a Postcolonial Context” is based on Dr. Ashmita Khasnabish’s recent monograph Negotiating Capability and Diaspora: a Philosophical Politics which analyses how Indian philosophical imagination could bring transcendence and immanence or pragmatism together. It starts with the Amartya Sen’s theory of “capability” which arose as a critique of the American philosopher John Rawls’s theory of Justice. Sen focuses on the notion of personal will- power which expresses the humanitarian aspect of his theory of capability. What is so fascinating about Sen’s theory of freedom? As a daughter of the East\, she admits that there is great potential in Sen’s theory of freedom because it is the freedom of the East that he advocates. She also examines Sri Aurobindo’s theory of the “religion of humanity\,” who fought against the British and was forced to leave India. Finally\, in the light of this philosophical background\, the talk addresses the Indian novelist Jhumpa Lahiri’s novel the Namesake as a product of Indian postcolonial imagination.

SUMMARY:Dr. Indira Viswanathan Peterson Guest Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Colonial Networks\, Indian Elites\, and the New Orientalism of the Royal Asiatic Society (1823-1840) \nIndira Viswanathan Peterson \nProfessor of Asian Studies Emerita\, Mount Holyoke College\, USA \n  \nThe establishment of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland in London in 1823 not only transferred the institutional center of British orientalism to the metropole but also indexed a reconceptualization of British antiquarian practices and goals vis à vis the colonies. A marker of this shift was the active recruitment of Asians\, especially princes and other elites\, in the Society’s membership and activities. The election of Raja Serfoji of Tanjore\, an enthusiastic orientalist as well as pioneering modernizer\, as one of four honorary members in 1823 is a case in point. Tracing Serfoji’s initiatives and his interactions with Sir Alexander Johnston and other British administrator-orientalists in Madras and south India\, and the Raja’s subsequent participation in the RAS’s activities\, this talk demonstrates that a south Indian orientalist network– the “Madras School” –played a significant role in shaping the agendas of the newly-founded Society. Further\, examining widely-publicised statements made by Sir Johnston during his long administrative career at the RAS\, it is argued that the Society’s projects involving its Asian members signaled a turn in British orientalism\, toward the promotion of a new mix of antiquarianism and the ideology of improving the colonies through useful knowledge. \nDr. Peterson held the David B. Truman Professorship at Mount Holyoke and has been Professor of Sanskrit at Columbia University. She specializes in Indian literature in Sanskrit\, Tamil and Marathi\, Hinduism\, South Indian culture\, history and religion\, classical dance and Karnatak music\, translation\, and European-Asian culture contact. She has published widely on all of these subjects.  She has held a number of research fellowships\, including fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation\, the National Endowment for the Humanities\, The American Institute for Indian Studies and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Major publications include: Poems to Shiva: The Hymns of the Tamil Saints (1989); Design and Rhetoric in a Sanskrit Court Epic: The Kiratarjuniya of Bharavi (2003); Arjuna and the Hunter (2016); and\, with George Michell\, The Great Temple at Thanjavur: A Thousand Years. 1010 – 2010 (2010). Two co-edited books are: with Martha A. Selby\, Tamil Geographies: Cultural Constructions of space and place in South India (2007); and with Davesh Soneji\, Performing Pasts: Reinventing the Arts in modern South India (2008). \nIndira Peterson has recently completed Serfoji of Tanjore: Enlightenment and Princely Modernity in Colonial India\, a biography of the royal polymath and innovator Serfoji II. In progress are Drama\, the Court\, and the Public in Early Modern India\, a monograph on the multilingual dance dramas of the Thanjavur Maratha court\, and An Enlightenment Library in Early Nineteenth-century India: The Personal Collection of King Serfoji II of Tanjore (1798-1832). \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Illustrated Lecture: Buddhist Rock-Cut Monasteries of the Western Ghats Drs. George Michell and Gethin Rees
DESCRIPTION:RAS Event Flyer Final \n27 MARCH 2018 6.30PM; followed by wine reception\nROYAL ASIATIC SOCIETY\n14 STEPHENSON WAY\nLONDON\, NW1 2HD\nPlease rsvp to: ar@royalasiaticosciety.org\nThis lecture marks the publication of an illustrated guidebook coauthored\nby the archaeologist Dr. Gethin Rees and the\narchitectural historian Dr. George Michell\, recently issued by the\nDeccan Heritage Foundation. The volume focuses not on the well\nknown rock-cut sites of Ajanta and Ellora\, but on the less visited\,\nbut no less significant sites near the towns of Nashik and Junnar\,\nand at Karla\, Bhaja Bedsa\, Kondane and Kanheri\, all in the rugged\nlandscape of the Westerrn Ghats in Maharashtra. Known as\nchaityas and viharas\, these magnificent shrines and dwellings\nwere cut into the basalt cliffs of the Western Ghats more than\n2\,000 years ago. They survive today as among the earliest and\nbest-preserved examples of Buddhist architecture and art in all\nIndia.\nLocated near to trade routes that wound their way through\nmountain passes\, linking the lucrative Arabian Sea ports of\npeninsular India to the Deccan hinterland\, the cutting of the caves\ntogether with their resident monks and nuns were supported by\nmerchants and craft guilds\, as well as by local kings and queens. In\nthe lecture Rees will discuss the historic\, economic and geographic\nbackground to the monasteries\, while Michell will focus on the\narchitectural developments during these early times and the\ncarvings that adorned the various shrines and dwellings.\nCopies of the 128 page guidebook may be purchased after the\nlecture at a cost of £15.00\, payable by cash or cheque only.

SUMMARY:Guest Lecture: Emilie Wellfelt\, 'Following the Feathers: Global History Along the Trails of the Bird of Paradise'
DESCRIPTION:‘Following the Feathers’ is an investigation of global history and human-animal relations using a spectacular bird species as its focal point. It asks how the bird of paradise affects humans who encounter them\, either in living form or as a prepared specimen. The specimen\, often without wings\, legs and scull bone\, is the main form in which bird of paradise have been traded and used by humans.   \n   Historically the bird of paradise was a luxury commodity\, traded along the same routes as spice from Maluku. As the birds were received in different ‘worlds’ they were used and interpreted in ways that reveal insights about religion\, paradise and power. \n   The study examines two time periods: c. 1512-1610 and the present. The first bird of paradise specimens reached Europe in 1522 in the cargo of the world’s first circumnavigators\, the Magellan expedition. In the early modern period\, world views shifted and Muslims and Christians competed for global dominion. ‘Following the feathers’ takes us to crucial moments in history\, to kings and sultans\, and to the foremost artists and scientists of the time.  \n   In the present study\, human-animal relations in the Aru Islands will be investigated. In the islands the Dobel-speaking population are divided in two moieties\, the inland fanan\, literary ‘bird of paradise’\, have a semi-totemic relation to the species.  \nThe researcher has extensive historical and anthropological fieldwork experience from Indonesia. \n  \n  \n‘Shahjahan and Prince Dara-Shikoh Toy with Jewels\, ca. 1620’

SUMMARY:Shireen El Kassem Mamluk helmets (1250—1517): new perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Despite the significance that has been accorded by the Mamluks to the military production\, Mamluk military art is rarely considered as a part of the Islamic art field. Helmets were intended not only for the protection but also for the public display during the Mamluk period (1250–1517)\, and thus played a considerable role in decorative arts. In this lecture\, the discussion will focus on the production and development of Mamluk helmets\, and the social and military importance they acquired within the Mamluk society. \n  \nShireen El Kassem obtained her BA degree in History of Art and Archaeology from the Sorbonne-University (Paris IV) and MA degree in Islamic Art and Architecture from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London. She is currently the assistant curator at the Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Islamic art. Her main research interests are in material culture and cross-cultural exchanges in the Mamluk Sultanate between 1250 and 1517\, especially in Mamluk arms and armour\, metalwork and textiles.
