摘要

David Arnold has drawn attention to the ways in which accounts of European death in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century India, and of what he terms âdeathscapesâ, were put to rhetorical use in narrating, justifying and consecrating the colonial enterprise in the sub-continent. This essay examines a contemporaneous version of the colonial deathscape: the vogue in Calcutta for the collection and circulation of epitaphs and obituaries to European âdeparted worthâ, culminating in 1848 in the publication of the Bengal Obituary, a volume its most recent editor, P. Thankappan Nair, dubbed âthe greatest storehouse of epitaphs and monumental inscriptionsÂ â¦Â ever published in Bengal, if not in Indiaâ (P. Thankappan Nair, ed., The Bengal Obituary (Calcutta: Punthi Pustak, 1991), p. xxxvii). I argue that while the framework and idiom of the Obituary supports what Arnold calls the âsentimental annexation of Indiaâ, its local genealogy and format resist either a purely ideological or a straightforwardly sentimental interpretation. The Bengal Obituary, I suggest, offers itself to more localized, ambivalent and contingent ways of reading, proper to the dialogic relationship between colony and metropole, and to European Calcutta's fragile but emergent civic self-image.View full textDownload full textKeywordscolonial, India, Bengal, Calcutta, obituary, epitaph, bereavement, commemoration, mourning, deathscapeRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13555501003607677

Thankappan Nair的编辑，被誉为“有史以来最大的墓志铭文库，甚至在印度也曾在孟加拉出版过”（P. Thankappan Nair编，《孟加拉Ob告》（Calcutta：蓬蒂） Pustak，1991），第xxxvii）页。我认为，尽管《 Ob告》的框架和习语支持了阿诺德所说的“印度的情感吞并”，但其当地的族谱和形式抵制了纯粹的意识形态或直接的情感解释。我建议孟加拉Ob告馆提供更多本地化，矛盾性和偶然性的阅读方式，以适应殖民地和大都市之间的对话关系，并适合欧洲加尔各答脆弱而又崭露头角的市民自我形象。查看全文下载全文孟加拉国，加尔各答，ob告，墓志铭，丧亲，纪念，哀悼，死亡景观相关的var addthis_config = {ui_cobrand：“泰勒和弗朗西斯在线”，services_compact：“ citlikelike，netvibes，twitter，technorati，delicious，linkedin，facebook，stumbleupon，digg，google ，more“，pubid：” ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b“};添加到候选列表链接永久链接http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13555501003607677
