Locked down-locked in: Experiences of families of young children with autism spectrum disorders in Delhi, India
Introduction: The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns in March 2020 disrupted the lives of families across India. The lockdown related restrictions brought forth a multitude of challenges including loss of employment, social isolation, school closures and financial burdens. Specifically, it also resulted in the restriction of health-care services for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. Methods: This qualitative stud…
Roundtable on John Clark's The Asian Modern
The book, The Asian Modern, by John Clark (with an Introduction by the Manila-based critic and curator, Patrick Flores) seeks to construct a “cross-Asian” account through a detailed historical and empirical focus on 30 artists spanning Southeast, East, and South Asia, as well as Australia. At the core of the book is the premise that the given place, “Asia,” is the locus for a critique of the normative account of modernism tethered to another loca…

The world as narrative Reconfiguring vision in early modern Eurasia
Dieser Aufsatz behandelt Prozesse einer sich formenden und sich neu konfigurierenden Visualität in der frühen Neuzeit, betrachtet unter dem Aspekt der Schaffung und Narrativierung der Welt. Er fragt danach, in welchem Maße die Begegnung mit der Welt über das gemalte Bild vermittelt und gedeutet wurde. Infolgedessen betrachtet er die unterschiedlichen Weisen, in denen Bilder selbst durch ihre spezifischen Produktionsprozesse zum Ort der Herstellun…
Objects, Frames, Practices: A Postscript on Agency and Braided Histories of Art
Translating the Body Into Image. The Body Politic and Visual Practice at the Mughal Court During the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries
This article investigates the ways in which visual representations reconfigured the body in North Indian political culture of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. While images were meant to transmit and translate ethical conceptions of the polity, communicative modes of the visual medium followed a dynamic that was not a rehearsal of the path taken by texts. As images cut across distinctions formulated elsewhere and drew up new boundaries, th…
Conversion to Christianity in African History before Colonial Modernity: Power, Intermediaries and Texts
This article examines different paradigms of conversions to Christianity in regions of Africa prior to the advent of colonial modernity. Religious change, in general, connected converts and various intermediaries to resources and power within specific settings. Even though African cultures were oral, conversions generated the production of texts which became important print media and were at least partly responsible for prompting conversions else…
The Materiality of Difference: Converted Jews and Their Descendants in the Late Medieval Kingdom of Naples
The article seeks to retrace the processes by which Jewish converts and their descendants in the late medieval Kingdom of Naples were included into and/or excluded from Christian society. It focuses on a case study of the Apulian seaport of Trani. Following a systems theoretical perspective, it conceives exclusion as a multidimensional process of (re-)production of differences in social practices that affect the position and action of an individu…
The Christianisation of Latin Europe as Seen by Medieval Arab-Islamic Historiographers
The article aims at defining what Arab Muslims of the crusading period knew about the conversion of Latin Europe to Christianity through an analysis of Arabic-Islamic sources written up to the fourteenth century. Whereas Christianity seems to have interested the first generations of Muslims mainly as a theological phenomenon, the emergence of more comprehensive forms of Muslim historiography led to the creation of Arabic texts dealing with the fo…
Christian Conversion in Late Ming China: Niccolo Longobardo and Shandong
Using letters written by the Italian Jesuit missionary Niccolo Longobardo, this article explores in depth the encounter between the Christian mission and different strata of early seventeenth century Chinese society in Shangdong province. It follows Longobardo’s evangelical activities among Ming feudatory princes, Muslim mullahs, Confucian literati and leaders of secret popular religious sects. By using Jesuit records and Chinese documents of the…
Conversion and Coercion: Personal Conscience and Political Conformity in Early Modern France
This article examines the conflict between two understandings of conversion: one which saw it as a voluntaristic transformation, free from compulsion and another which claimed that coerced conversions could be valid. Rival Catholic and Protestant churches believed that true conversion resulted from an individual’s search for truth while also recognising a role for constraint in maintaining conformity. Theological traditions underpinned both views…
Fatima Hatun née Beatrice Michiel: Renegade Women in the Early Modern Mediterranean
During the last decades of the sixteenth century, Beatrice Michiel fled an unhappy marriage in Venice for Constantinople. She converted to Islam, taking the name of Fatima, remarried, and because of her access to the imperial harem, played a significant role in Veneto-Ottoman relations in this troubled period. Beatrice/Fatima’s experience provides a suggestive window into the often ignored experience of renegade women on the Mediterranean frontie…
Returning to Judaism: The Reconversion of ‘New Christians’ to Their Ancestral Jewish Faith in the Ottoman Empire during the Sixteenth Century
The last century of Jewish life in the Iberian Peninsula (1391–1492) was marked by continuous persecutions leading to the conversion of a large number of Jews to Christianity. Known as ‘New Christians’, they escaped from the Iberian Peninsula to the Ottoman Empire, where—under Muslim dominion—they could return to their ancestral creed, reconverting to Judaism. This article examines the three waves of migration that took place during the last deca…
Catholic–Lutheran–Catholic: Strategies of Justification and Conceptions of the Self in the Conversion Narratives of Johannes Ferdinand Franz Weinberger (1687–90)
This article undertakes a comparative analysis of two conversion narratives of Johannes Ferdinand Franz Weinberger, who converted in 1687 from Catholicism to Lutheranism and returned to the Catholic church one year later. After his reconversion, Weinberger found himself confronted by those who doubted his credibility and was consequently under considerable pressure to justify the path he had taken. At the same time, he felt impelled to explain hi…
Conversion Historiography in South Asia: Alternative Indian Christian Counter-histories in Eighteenth Century Goa
Conversion as a historical process is discussed in South Asian post-independence historiography mostly following the demands of the political present. In the present article, I first try to trace a fragmentary and in-complete history of what I will call conversion historiography in and about South Asia, referring mostly to conversion to Christianity from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. Then, I discuss a particular case of religious and cul…
Shrines, Cultivators, and Muslim ‘Conversion’ in Punjab and Bengal, 1300–1700
This article discusses the growth of predominantly Muslim populations in two regions of South Asia—western Punjab and eastern Bengal. No evidence supports conventional understandings that Islamisation in these areas resulted from a desire for social liberation on the part of the lower orders of the Hindu caste system. Nor should Islamisation in these regions be characterised as instances of ‘conversion’, a term embedded in the nineteenth century …

On the Margins of Utopia—One more look at Mughal Painting
Can a notion of 'utopia' be recovered within a pre-modern, non-European cultural setting, that of the Mughal court? This paper looks for the articulation of this topos as a discursive practice within the spaces of visual representation. It argues that utopia was not conceptualised as an unattainable vision projected onto the future, rather it repre sented an ideal located in the present, one which constituted the present, for time itself was no l…

Les paysans dans la peinture française, de Millet à Van Gogh
Tout comme les « fêtes de battage » décrites par Gérard Collomb reflètent une image du paysan créée par la société moderne, la peinture française du XIX e siècle nous renvoie à une vision de la compagne et de ses habitants forgée à une époque de changements sociaux fondamentaux. L'analyse d'une historienne d'art, présentée dans les pages suivantes, pourrait sans doute s'appliquer à l'imagerie paysanne dans la peinture traditionnelle d'autres pays…
The peasant image and agrarian change: Representations of rural society in nineteenth‐century French painting from millet to van Gogh
In the upsurge of rustic themes in French painting during the second half of the nineteenth century is articulated a range of urban responses to agrarian and industrial transformation of country and city at the time. The recreation through art of ‘peasant culture’ was rooted in preoccupations about work and production, changing social relations and forms of sociability, the idea of the nation and the growth of political consciousness. This articl…

Malabarian' Dialogues: The Encounter between German Pietists and the Tamilian Populace during the Early Eighteenth Century
This paper examines the production of knowledge about cultural difference as an interactiveprocess, emerging from a dialogue between German Pietist missionaries and local population in a South Indian region in early eighteenth century. Drawing upon sources from both sides, it analyses the respective cultural codes by which the alien was defined. How did cultural boundaries shift during a long-term interaction with elements initially viewed as the…
