“…The Subaltern Studies Collective founding member and contributor Gyanendra Pandey (2013) has used the ways in which we think about colonialism and madness, to help us reapproach questions of subaltern experience and record. This helps us go beyond classic Subaltern Studies propositions regarding the need to read colonial archives against their grain to extract evidence of subaltern consciousness or the impossibility or recovering subaltern voice (Guha and Spivak, 1988; Jazeel and Legg, 2019).…”

“…This helps us go beyond classic Subaltern Studies propositions regarding the need to read colonial archives against their grain to extract evidence of subaltern consciousness or the impossibility or recovering subaltern voice (Guha and Spivak, 1988; Jazeel and Legg, 2019). Pandey (2013) suggests that we consider “unarchived histories”, which are not histories without archives but histories that were un-archived or disenfranchised in the process of archiving, being deemed beyond the register of “reason”. These are forms of life and types of space deemed unworthy of remembering and recording, or those whose memories and records are suppressed.…”

“…The second realm is positioned as the obverse, that of exile from reason or “madness” more broadly. While this realm includes that of psychiatric madness, it was also presumed to cover much broader realms of “out-of-synch” experience (Pandey, 2013: 6), including the colonised, primitive, or native more broadly. These groups and spaces have been archived by others, producing subjects of knowledge extraction and disciplining.…”

“…In particular, it draws upon debates emerging from the Subaltern Studies Collective concerning silencing, violence, and mobility and applies them to rethinking homes and institutions in late-colonial India. The analysis invokes Gyanendra Pandey’s (2013) injunction that we move beyond false dichotomies of recorded/non-recorded, self/other, or speech/silence and explore a third realm of “un-archived” but still traceable subaltern experiences.…”

Carceral and colonial domesticities: Subaltern case geographies of a Delhi rescue home

This article explores a relatively rare archival account of female subjectivity, experience, mobility, and voice within a carceral institution in late-colonial Delhi. The capital’s “Rescue Home” was created to house women and girls removed from the city’s brothels under new legislation. While no brothels were closed in the first year of the laws functioning, the home accepted 18 women and girls and detailed their circumstances and experiences in its 1940 report. It was able to forcibly detain girls and was run upon disciplinary and racial lines, like other colonial institutions. But its inhabitants were not subject to detailed surveillance. Rather, their lives were ones usually beyond recording or whose stories were actively silenced. The 1940 Rescue Home report provides us with rich details of the commonplace, quotidian struggles which women and girls faced in colonial Delhi. The 18 case geographies of the Home’s inhabitants help us understand how sexuality and motherhood, education and character, and race all shaped routes into the home and destinations when people left. The accounts tell us of a carceral governmentality with influence beyond the disciplinary institution’s walls, but also of female subjects who resisted, spoke back, and absconded. This relationship between forced immobility and willed mobility suggests that brothels and rescue homes were not just connected, through the intended transfer of inhabitants, but can be directly compared as carceral domesticities.

Manga, or Japanese comic books, are one of the newest popular media imports from Japan to garner a sizable following in the U.S. Shortly before the establishment of an American manga publishing industry and the investment in resources to publish manga legally, fans calling themselves scanslators (scan + translators) began translating Japanese manga themselves and distributing it to other fans through the Internet. This dissertation focuses on the manga importation process from several different angles, comparing within each the struggles and similarities between the actions and motives of scanslators and publishers. Comparing and contrasting the practices and norms of scanslators with those of the American manga publishing industry, this case study provides insight into the ways that fans of transnational texts are involved in a system of global media flows whose paths are determined by legal, cultural, economic, and political forces. This work focuses on three stages in the manga importation process: selection, translation, and distribution. This study is based on the textual analysis of trade journal articles and web sites, informed by interviews with scanslators and manga industry workers. I conducted interviews over a six-month period in 2008, focusing on two groups, the publishing company Tokyopop and the scanslation group "Paradise." I carried out follow-up interviews a year later. I supplemented these interviews with interviews from freelance manga translators. I demonstrate principles influencing the flow of other kinds of media across borders. Manga serves as a prime example of the rise and transformation of a sector of the book market, and more broadly as a form of media. This case also serves as a snapshot of a moment of change within the publishing Special thanks to my colleagues, including Hsin-Yen Yang, Doug Schules, Eve Bottando, and Meryl Irwin, for intellectual, physical, and moral support all these years.
