Chaityabhumi: Documentary Film Screening and Q&A with Director Somnath Waghamare, Register | Campus map | Visitor parking info Join the South Asia Center for a screening of the documentary film Chaityabhumi (trailer) and a discussion with director Somnath Waghamare. For the Dalit movement in India, one of the significant and important places is Chaityabhumi in Mumbai. The Dalit movement in Maharashtra has had a continuous and unbroken presence for 100 years now. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s anti-caste and Dalit human rights movement began in this land. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar himself stayed in Mumbai for most of his life, and when he died on December 6, 1956, his last rites were done near the sea at Dadar. His followers later built Chaityabhumi at that spot. Every year 1 to 6 December, millions of Dalit-Bahujan across the nation visit this place and pay tribute to their revolutionary leader. But the city’s media and elite Mumbaikars only show disdain for this peaceful event. This documentary film will bring to… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Allen Library (ALB).

TALK | Negotiating the 'Geo' of Cold War Geopolitics: Mexican Earth Scientists and Seismological Practice During the International Geophysical Year (1957-58)

There will be a pre-circulated paper for this event, so attendees should RSVP via email to vfreije@uw.edu to receive a copy. Many histories of Cold War science assume bipolarity as the most salient dynamic, organizing international scientific practices and projects into one of the world’s two core blocs. Such Cold War historiography overlooks collaboration across Cold War fractures, the practices of unaligned scientists, or the possibility of a multipolar Cold War. The International Geophysical Year (1957-58)–in which 67 countries across 14 disciplines collaborated to study the earth–is a moment whose complexity requires analysis that exceeds dominant Cold War historicizations. Geophysical researchers needed to negotiate science’s demand for universal knowledge within a world structured by the Cold War’s demand for geopolitical alliances. Mexico, with its long seismologic tradition and non-interventionist foreign policy, offers a unique vantage point from which to examine this moment in the history of earth… Event interval: Single day event.

LECTURE | Divya Cherian (Princeton University) | Merchants of Virtue: Hindus, Muslims, and Untouchables in Eighteenth-Century South Asia

Merchants of Virtue: Hindus, Muslims, and Untouchables in Eighteenth-Century South Asia Lecture from Divya Cherian (Princeton University) Register | Campus map | Visitor parking info What did it mean to be Hindu in pre-colonial India? Through a discussion of everyday life and local politics in the kingdom of Marwar in the eighteenth century, this presentation will show that an alliance between existing landed elites and a newly ascendant mercantile class remade the category “Hindu.” A key element of this new articulation of an early modern Hindu identity were vegetarianism and an embrace of non-harm (ahimsa). Based on extensive research into the administrative records of the region, this presentation will show how political mobilizations of the ethical ideal of non-harm as the pre-colonial era came to a close fashioned not just a new Hindu identity but also a more starkly defined “Untouchable.” This research challenges the projection of dyadic conceptions of Hindu and Muslim onto the pre-colonial past and… Event interval: Single day event.

LECTURE | Rupal Oza (Hunter College) | Semiotics of Rape: Sexual Subjectivity and Violation in Rural India

Semiotics of Rape: Sexual Subjectivity and Violation in Rural India Lecture from Rupal Oza (Hunter College) Register | Campus map | Visitor parking info In Semiotics of Rape, Rupal Oza follows the social life of rape in rural northwest India to reveal how rape is not only a violation of the body but a language through which a range of issues—including caste and gender hierarchies, control over land and labor, and the shape of justice—are contested. Rather than focus on the laws governing rape, Oza closely examines rape charges to show how the victims and survivors of rape reclaim their autonomy by refusing to see themselves as defined entirely by the act of violation. Oza also shows how rape cases become arenas where bureaucrats, village council members, caste communities, and the police debate women’s sexual subjectivities and how those varied understandings impact the status and reputations of individuals and groups. In this way, rape gains meaning beyond the level of the survivor and victim to create a… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Thomson Hall (THO). Campus room: THO 317.
