SUMMARY:Dr. Jennifer Howes: The Story Tellers of Mysore: Tipu Sultan's female entourage and the 1806 Vellore Mutiny
DESCRIPTION:After the Fourth Mysore War\, when the British were dismantling Tipu Sultan’s establishment\, the East India Company unexpectedly took charge of 601 women who resided permanently inside Srirangapatnam Palace. Along with Tipu’s sons\, they were moved 200 miles east\, to Vellore Fort\, in the Company-controlled territory of Madras Presidency. Documentation about these court women held in colonial archives describes moments when they behaved in unexpectedly difficult ways. Because historians have traditionally cast the women of Tipu Sultan’s court as voiceless victims\, their actions\, as described in these colonial sources\, have been overlooked. When examined\, the descriptions show that they were using the domestic powers granted to them under Tipu Sultan’s establishment to influence their treatment by the East India Company. By placing these accounts alongside the broader context of the Company’s military history\, it becomes apparent that the women of Tipu Sultan’s female entourage fomented the events that led to the Vellore Mutiny of 1806.

SUMMARY:Professor Dionisius Agius: The Life of the Red Sea Dhow: A Cultural History of Seaborne Exploration in the Islamic World
DESCRIPTION:Few images are as evocative as the silhouette of the Arab dhow as\, under full sail\, it tacks to windward on glittering waters of Red Sea before moving across the face of the rising or setting sun. In this authoritative new book\, Dionisius A. Agius\, one of the foremost scholars of Islamic material culture\, offers a lucid and wide-ranging history of the iconic dhow from medieval to modern times. Traversing the Arabian and African coasts\, he shows that the dhow was central not just to commerce but to the vital transmission and exchange of ideas. Discussing trade and salt routes\, shoals and wind patterns\, spice harvest seasons and the deep and resonant connection between language\, memory and oral tradition\, this is the first book to place the dhow in its full and remarkable cultural contexts. \nDionisius A. Agius is Al Qasimi Professor of Arabic Studies and Islamic Material Culture at the University of Exeter\, UK. He is the author of numerous books including Seafaring in the Arabian Gulf and Oman (2005)\, winner of The Abdullah Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah Foundation and British-Kuwait Friendship Society Book Prize\, and Class Ships of Islam (2008). He is a Fellow of the British Academy\, the Royal Society of Arts and the Royal Geographical Society.

SUMMARY:Reflections on Mughal Art & Culture
DESCRIPTION:  \nReflections on Mughal Art and Culture\, recently published\, explores the rich aesthetic and cultural legacy of the Mughal Empire with new\, insightful material researched by 13 leading scholars in the field. The articles in the book discuss varied subjects under the Mughal umbrella\, challenge long-held ideas and draw comparisons between the artistic expressions and material culture of the powerful Islamicate triumvirate of the early modern period. During the first half of this presentation\, Roda Ahluwalia\, editor of the book\, will explore the diversity in chapters as well as common threads that run through them\, unifying the book in aesthetic and cultural identity.  \n  \nIn the second half of this presentation Kavita Singh\, Professor\, School of Arts and Aesthetics\, JNU\, Delhi\, will discuss her contribution to the volume in which she  discusses the text-image relationship of select examples from the Akbarnama\, Jahangirnama and Padshahnama to show significant divergences between the words and images that often faced each other across the page. She will focus on one of the examples discussed in her essay\, through which she will explore reasons for the ‘gaps’ between word and image and weave her way to a keen and perceptive conclusion.”
