Farina Mir asks how qisse, a vibrant genre of epics and romances, flourished in colonial Punjab despite British efforts to marginalize the Punjabi language. She explores topics including Punjabi linguistic practices, print and performance, and the symbolic content of qisse. She finds that although the British denied Punjabi language and literature almost all forms of state patronage, the resilience of this popular genre came from its old but dynamic corpus of stories, their representations of place, and the moral sensibility that suffused them. Her multidisciplinary study reframes inquiry into cultural formations in late-colonial north India away from a focus on religious communal identities and nationalist politics and toward a widespread, ecumenical, and place-centered poetics of belonging in the region. 410 0$aSouth Asia across the disciplines. 606 $aPanjabi literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPanjabi literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and society$zIndia$zPunjab$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLiterature and society$zIndia$zPunjab$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aPunjab (India)$xIntellectual life$y19th century 607 $aPunjab (India)$xIntellectual life$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPanjabi literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPanjabi literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 676 $a891.4/209355 700 $aMir$b Farina$01019989 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459499103321 996 $aThe social space of language$92408286 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03346oam 2200589 450 001 9910286407403321 005 20210805204733.0 010 $a1-316-78035-X 010 $a1-316-78196-8 035 $a(CKB)4100000002891546 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000002891546 100 $a20190428h20172017 fy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||#|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aMalarial subjects $eempire, medicine and nonhumans in British India, 1820-1909 /$fRohan Deb Roy 210 1$aCambridge, United Kingdom :$cCambridge University Press,$d2017 210 4$dİ2017 215 $a1 online resource (xv, 332 pages) $cillustrations; digital file(s) 225 1 $aScience in history 311 08$aPrint version: Deb Roy, Rohan.

It was associated with a variety of frailties far beyond fevers, ranging from idiocy to impotence. And yet, it was not a self-contained category. The reconsolidation of malaria as a diagnostic category during this period happened within a wider context in which cinchona plants and their most valuable extract, quinine, were reinforced as objects of natural knowledge and social control. In India, the exigencies and apparatuses of British imperial rule occasioned the close interactions between these histories. In the process, British imperial rule became entangled with a network of nonhumans that included, apart from cinchona plants and the drug quinine, a range of objects described as malarial, as well as mosquitoes. Malarial Subjects explores this history of the co-constitution of a cure and disease, of British colonial rule and nonhumans, and of science, medicine and empire. 410 0$aScience in history (Cambridge University Press) 517 3 $aEmpire, medicine and nonhumans in British India, 1820-1909 606 $aMalaria$zIndia$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMalaria$zIndia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aImperialism$zIndia 606 $aMalaria$xhistory 606 $aColonialism$xhistory 606 $aQuinine$xhistory 606 $aCinchona 606 $aMosquito Vectors 608 $bElectronic books. 615 0$aMalaria$xHistory 615 0$aMalaria$xHistory 615 0$aImperialism 615 10$aMalaria$xhistory. 615 22$aColonialism$xhistory. 615 22$aQuinine$xhistory. 615 22$aCinchona. 615 22$aMosquito Vectors. 676 $aClassification 700 $aDeb Roy$b Rohan$0899267 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910286407403321 996 $aMalarial subjects$92009137 997 $aUNINA
