The Emergence of Colonial-Brahmanical forms of Knowledge Production in India

This talk explores the transformation of practices of knowledge in 19th and 20th century colonial India. In the scholarship on the history of knowledge production, the new forms of knowledge practice that emerged in 19th century is variedly categorised on the one hand as ‘scientific’, ‘universal’ and ‘modern’ or ‘colonial’, ‘Eurocentric’ and ‘capitalist’ on the other. While these categorizations explain one or the other claims or aspects of the new form of knowledge production, it is insufficient to understand the power-knowledge complex in which these practices are embedded. Analyzing the relation between caste hierarchy and the colonial practices of knowledge production, the talk maps these practices as ‘colonial-Brahmanical’.

29th July, 11.45 AM, GJB AUDI 3

K N Sunandan is an Associate Professor at Azim Premji University, he taught earlier at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), and did his Postdoctoral Project funded by Max Weber Stiftung (MWS) at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS), New Delhi.
