Das Paradies
Taking the Flemish-born artist Roelant Savery’s Das Paradies (1626) as a starting point, this essay explores the role of European artistic cultures and collecting practices in inciting the ecocide of the post-1492 Anthropocene Extinction. In particular, I explore how Savery’s celebrated painting of Adam and Eve consuming the forbidden fruit amidst a verdant landscape inhabited by animals such as the now-extinct dodo, endemic to the Indian Ocean i…
The Art of Cloth in Mughal India
Dead as a Dodo”
Among the species that went extinct in the last 500 plus years under colonial regimes, the ill-fated dodo became an early icon of the Anthropocene Extinction. While much has been written on the biotechnological apparatuses that expedited the extinction of the dodo, it was the complicity of Western European imperialism and early modern aesthetic regimes that were responsible for the ecocide of the Anthropocene (read Eurocene) Extinction
A Questionnaire on Diaspora and the Modern
The twentieth century was deeply grooved with the trodden pathways of mass migrations. These journeys were propelled by violence and historical cataclysm: pogroms and genocides; natural and unnatural famines and disasters; land dispossession, regimes of apartheid and forced labor; revolution, war, and occupation; colonization and decolonization; and the realignments that followed in their wake. The pioneering sociologist W. E. B. Du Bois may have…
S u F ang N g . Alexander the Great from Britain to Southeast Asia
Alexander (356–323 BCE) haunts world history like a chimeric mirage. Not surprisingly, the Macedonian conqueror’s recurring appearance in literature across Asia and Europe from the antiquity to the present has attracted significant scholarly attention over the years. Exploring the enduring legacies and myths surrounding the figure of Alexander, Su Fang Ng’s Alexander the Great from Britain to Southeast Asia takes a different route. Focusing on Br…
Climate Change and the Art of Devotion
In the enchanted world of Braj, the primary pilgrimage center in north India for worshippers of Krishna, each stone, river, and tree is considered sacred. In Climate Change and the Art of Devotion , Sugata Ray shows how this place-centered theology emerged in the wake of the Little Ice Age (ca. 1550–1850), an epoch marked by climatic catastrophes across the globe. Using the frame of geoaesthetics, he compares early modern conceptions of the envir…
Hydroaesthetics in the Little Ice Age
Examining the visual tactics of framing flowing water in landscape painting and riparian architecture in Braj, a pilgrimage centre in North India where the god Krishna is believed to have spent his youth, the essay foregrounds a new conception of hydroaesthetics that emerged with the onset of the Little Ice Age (c. 1550–1850), a climatic period marked by catastrophic droughts and famines in South Asia. An engagement with the hydroaesthetics of be…

The ‘Effeminate’ Buddha, the Yogic Male Body, and the Ecologies of Art History in Colonial India
© Association of Art Historians 2015. Internalizing colonial accusations of the effeminacy of the native male body, nineteenth-century Indian ideologues and reformers attempted to redeem the national body through a range of phallocentric body cultures. Anti-colonial art history, however, deliberately appropriated colonizing discourses of the effeminate native body to epistemologically challenge the hegemonic hyper-masculinity advocated by both th…
