Setting India on the Wrong Path
This article examines how Dr. Robert McCarrison’s goitre research in British India in the early twentieth century established his credentials as a medical researcher. It argues that the recognition that McCarrison achieved in this field had more to do with the fact that his research was conducted in a colonial non-Western locale. McCarrison resisted the Iodine Deficiency Disease explanation for goitre and critiqued successful public health initia…
Cutting Edge Research in the Contact Zone? The Establishment of the Nutritional Research Laboratories in Coonoor (1925–27)
By 1928, Robert McCarrison’s laboratories in the South Indian hill station of Coonoor had become recognised as the centre for nutritional research in India. Five years earlier, however, his institute had faced closure. This article argues that the establishment of McCarrison’s institute was based on his pitch to the Royal Commission on Agriculture in India in 1926, in which he successfully aligned his research to satisfy the concerns of various m…
Introduction
This introductory essay provides an overview of the main subfields of research into the histories of foodstuffs, diet and nutrition in nineteenth- and twentieth-century South Asia, thus situating the contributions to this themed special section in wider historiographical debates and controversies. It argues that the bulk of existing research has focused either on the conflictual role of food and diet in the colonial encounter, or on the emergence…
Indian Managers and Organizations
Culture is critical to individuals and organizations. This book takes a close look into the way Indian managers work, their inner struggles, and forces that shape their behaviour. It presents an original framework developed by the author — the Existential Universe Mapper (EUM), a pluralistic and non-reductionist model of management that uses a new psychometric instrument to map individual and organization identity. The model restrains from placin…
Daniel E. White. From Little London to Little Bengal
Daniel E. White's book examines the cultural enclaves of Little Bengal in London and Little London in Bengal in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. White convincingly argues that the boundaries that distinguished Britain and India were blurred with print-commodity culture and public spectacles cross-connecting these locales and creating the sense that one could be in two places at once. In so doing White situates his work within t…
Making British Indian Fictions
This book examines fictional representations of India in novels, plays and poetry produced between the years 1772 to 1823 as historical source material. It uses literary texts as case studies to inves
Romantic Representations of the Subcontinent
Although British Indian Romantic narratives evolved out of the Oriental escapist verse tales of William Collins, the verse of William Jones and the British Romantic poets was notable for drawing upon and responding to specific colonial discourses and events taking place in colonial India. The interest of poets in issues of colonial governance was a feature that was sustained throughout this period, from Jones’s Hindu Hymns , to the British Romant…
Performing the “Civilizing Mission” on the British Stage
Representations of the subcontinent in the British theater were distinct from depictions in novels and poems in that, they gave India a physical presence through sceneography and the physical bodies of the actors. Moreover, while novels and poems of this period could be read aloud to a group, they were more often than not aimed at an individual reader. This is in contrast to stage productions, which were mostly performed to a collective audience …
Performing Imperial Masculinity in British Theatre in the Late Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Century
This article focuses on theatrical representations of India in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, with special reference to two stage productions, Ramah Droog (1798) and The Cataract of the Ganges (1823). It argues that whilst the plays may have intended to deploy India as a space upon which to outline a militaristic British national identity and bourgeois gender norms, they in fact reflected contemporary anxieties about the fragil…
Book‐History Approaches to India
Literary representations of India in verse and novels written by British authors during the period 1780–1823 have been approached by contemporary scholars either from the postcolonial perspective of relating the fiction to the shifting relationship between colonizer or colonized, or to correlating portrayals to elitist political debates taking place within the metropole. The argument proposes that forthcoming scholarship should adopt a book‐histo…
Perspectives on Mysticism
Alternative Modernity
In this new collection of essays, Andrew Feenberg argues that conflicts over the design and organization of the technical systems that structure our society shape deep choices for the future. A pioneer in the philosophy of technology, Feenberg demonstrates the continuing vitality of the critical theory of the Frankfurt School. He calls into question the anti-technological stance commonly associated with its theoretical legacy and argues that tech…

Presentation and representation in design problem‐solving
Two experimental studies of design problem‐solving are presented. Eighty‐one subjects worked on one of two design problems that were isomorphic in structure: a schedule for stages in a manufacturing process or a layout for a business office. In Expt 1, a difference between problem isomorphs is obtained: the ‘spatial’ office layout problem obtains better performance and shorter solution times than the ‘temporal’ scheduling problem. In Expt 2, this…
