Tracing an Archive
This article focuses on the genealogy of the Mackintosh archive, showing how subjects are interpellated through archival networks that span imperial and metropolitan sites, linking people, ideas, knowledge and material resources. By tracing the Mackintosh archive across generations of family members embedded in British imperial society, it shows how archives call forth an individual—Sir James Mackintosh—as a symbol and a site of the interconnecti…
Of mermaids and monsters
The figure of the monster has long been used by trans and intersex scholars, artists and activists to articulate their sense of being in a world dominated by binary, cisgender norms. Yet what does it mean to embrace ‘the monstrous’ and how might that embrace inform the construction of transgender history? This article examines the specificities of ‘the monstrous’ in eighteenth‐ and nineteenth‐century Britain and empire by focusing on two figures …
The Making and Remaking of Australasia
This book explores the emergence of ‘Australasia’ as a way of thinking about the culture and geography of this region. Although it is frequently understood to apply only to Australia and New Zealand, the concept has a longer and more complicated history. ‘Australasia’ emerged in the mid-18th century in both French and British writing as European empires extended their reach into Asia and the Pacific, and initially held strong links to the Asian c…
Disability as a Problem of Humanity in Scottish Enlightenment Thought
This article makes a case that disability, particularly visual, hearing, and speech impairments, played a significant role in Scottish Enlightenment thought. Focusing on the work of Dugald Stewart, and in particular on his essay ‘Some account of a boy born blind and deaf’, we argue that disability was a deep preoccupation of Scottish Enlightenment thinkers who used it as a test case for various important philosophical questions including those co…
The Perilous Territory of Not Belonging
This article examines the role of ‘exile’ in constructing the boundaries of belonging to metropolitan Britain in the early nineteenth century. In the context of mass mobility and displacement caused by imperial expansion and revolutionary wars, ‘exile’ took on new meanings that focused on the sadness, suffering and loss. This new discourse of ‘exile’ configured the nation state as the only viable site of belonging, emptying all other spaces of af…
Mobility, Gender and Empire in Maria Graham's Journal of a Residence in India (1812)
This article focuses on Maria Graham's Journal of a Residence in India (1812) in order to examine the role of mobility in the configuration of difference in the British Empire at the turn of the nineteenth century. It shows how Graham's reading and representation of bodies in India as frenetically active, directionless or completely still, enabled her to configure Indians as inherently inferior to Europeans, where bodies moved with purpose, effec…
What is Radical History Now
To accept one’s past – one’s history – is not the same thing as drowning in it; it is learning how to use it. An invented past can never be used; it cracks and crumbles under the pressures of life like clay in a season of drought. James Baldwin, 19631 James Baldwin, the African-American novelist, critic and civil-rights activist, wrote his epistolary essay, The Fire Next Time, in order to explain to his nephew what it meant to be a black man grow…

Remembering and Forgetting the Scottish Highlands
This article explores the formation of British imperial identity through a focus on the career of Sir James Mackintosh (1765–1832), a well-known Whig intellectual and imperial careerist who originally hailed from the Highlands of Scotland. Using Mackintosh's unpublished letters and autobiography, the article shows how he imagined and narrated his relationship to the Scottish Highlands from the vantage points of Bombay and London. In contrast to r…
