1 00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:09,960 Our next speaker, no. And, you know, one of the things that amazed me was reading all these papers was how integrated this panel is. 2 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:20,970 And it turned out that you all had not answered this question, but it's a it's very, very, you know, it's come together really beautifully. 3 00:00:20,970 --> 00:00:29,010 So our next speaker is Prachi Basch funded project. Can I invite you to please appear? 4 00:00:29,010 --> 00:00:39,360 And her people cited writing and circulation, a material approach to early modern Marathi literature graduate funding. 5 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:45,300 Thank you. And hello, everyone and friends and colleagues across the world. 6 00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:55,830 It's really good to be here, even if it were chilly, and I'm glad to be able to present some thoughts for you. 7 00:00:55,830 --> 00:01:06,390 I'm sorry, my my voice is a little. That's no slight, but I will put in your best the presentation. 8 00:01:06,390 --> 00:01:14,660 Nothing else. So I speak today about lighting and circulation. 9 00:01:14,660 --> 00:01:23,970 Sir John has has laid out some of the single stop off the balance recently. 10 00:01:23,970 --> 00:01:33,840 Literally, historiography in South Asia has emphasised the importance of focussing on exchange within different linguistic, 11 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:43,260 religious and cultural skills. Multiple regional perspectives have highlighted patterns of circulation as markers of cultural creation, 12 00:01:43,260 --> 00:01:49,500 rather than as exceptions from an assumed geographical or cultural for the careful 13 00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:56,100 exploration of methods of manuscript and performance has helped to desegregate spaces, 14 00:01:56,100 --> 00:02:02,160 audiences and voices. We don't see many women who were reading histories. 15 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:11,520 These approaches navigate between an uncritical and celebratory attribution on the one end and an unimaginative minimalism on the other. 16 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:17,550 But every instance of moderates discourse of race in this presentation. 17 00:02:17,550 --> 00:02:29,160 I engage some of these insights or see one of them to the point about the circulation of sex and an early model morality public. 18 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:35,820 It will be of this note to many here that the papers are also in conversation with Christian Lewinsky's arguments about 19 00:02:35,820 --> 00:02:43,670 the relationship between writing and morality and between performance and prominence in conceptualising the archives. 20 00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:53,690 But I'm going to sort of zoom in some sections of the road so they are writing in documentation in Marathi, 21 00:02:53,690 --> 00:02:58,360 GroupMe expanded in scope and backed from the 17th century onwards. 22 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:08,280 But architects, similar to people on the spread to different regions, with the protesters expanding the administration over the 18th century. 23 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:17,220 The larger rocks on which this paper is drawn was a to a study from the 17th through the 20th centuries of this practise, 24 00:03:17,220 --> 00:03:22,800 broadly defined and the shifting relationships between scrutinising and language 25 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:28,890 that produced eventually the modern Marathi linguistic region and state. 26 00:03:28,890 --> 00:03:37,770 Here, I focussed on one particular site that was, I would suggest, important to the making of a Marathi public. 27 00:03:37,770 --> 00:03:47,170 But this is something that I should also share my screen. 28 00:03:47,170 --> 00:03:54,600 Because I have some menus that still show. 29 00:03:54,600 --> 00:04:00,480 But this is simply that founded by some of the numbers that grew over the 17th and 18th 30 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,280 centuries through a network of my cousins and disciples in different parts of America 31 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:12,270 and by the numbers advocated a position of moderate religiosity that was grounded in 32 00:04:12,270 --> 00:04:17,580 a daily regimen of practise and the prayer of which was the cultivation of literacy, 33 00:04:17,580 --> 00:04:25,440 especially writing. Many of you listening today are familiar with his victims on writing should believe that in the long run, 34 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:33,450 we should we should have it on the chopping block today as common sense I have out of detail and statement about how we can 35 00:04:33,450 --> 00:04:42,370 best conceptualise literacy within a particular broad vision of what we need to support Nigeria's daily devotional movement. 36 00:04:42,370 --> 00:04:48,160 Part of the cultivation of the body as a practical vehicle for spiritual realisation, 37 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,690 the central bank's objective was explicitly didactic and its followers. 38 00:04:52,690 --> 00:04:59,380 One must give them, and we don't have enough some of the petty literati who worked in the administration. 39 00:04:59,380 --> 00:05:05,380 Now, Anderson's message of literacy has depression and practise and exhortations of remedy by those 40 00:05:05,380 --> 00:05:12,760 who have it appealed to me because it underscored the value of writerly work in general, 41 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:18,640 but also because of the idiom did this essence time and then moved away from the domain of 42 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:25,480 low key employment in passionate environments in the script and often under Muslim employers, 43 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:32,380 which were potentially threatening them, which were the mere embassy framework? 44 00:05:32,380 --> 00:05:42,730 What are you going to be a majority? My cousin was to memorise that every time I read something, but also a good night and copy something daily. 45 00:05:42,730 --> 00:05:53,830 These are magic. They gave me a lot of ideas, in my words, but I think would be either one's own compositions, all the good or record books. 46 00:05:53,830 --> 00:06:02,770 And the routine was key to the effort to establish this middle ground between the French and British. 47 00:06:02,770 --> 00:06:11,920 Oh, actually. That within the next. 48 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,050 OK. In the 20th century, the lawyer I was studying, 49 00:06:16,050 --> 00:06:25,990 ancient constitutional there collected nearly 2000 bundles of manuscript materials from as many numbers Americans as possible across the peninsula, 50 00:06:25,990 --> 00:06:29,950 now preserved at the same month around Plymouth amended in his prime time. 51 00:06:29,950 --> 00:06:32,920 These are from the 30s as well as bodies. 52 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:39,070 The bodies themselves are like stitching books as well as long lines of people like administrative documents, 53 00:06:39,070 --> 00:06:48,910 and the size varies from a few pages to a few hundred. They contain original compositions by disciples and copies of numbers as voluminous writings, 54 00:06:48,910 --> 00:06:53,740 as well as accounts and images for common elements like acidity, 55 00:06:53,740 --> 00:07:03,520 mathematical problems and historical narratives of their are pedagogical age, such as an alphabetical list of difficult words from the ministry. 56 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:10,690 There are many methods such as this of the first few letters of the lines of various unpleasant and fathers, 57 00:07:10,690 --> 00:07:17,260 as well as cataloguing aids, such as most of which in particular might have been given some stop overnight, 58 00:07:17,260 --> 00:07:22,900 as martyrs also did a knifing during the state and occasionally, like those with the name religion, 59 00:07:22,900 --> 00:07:27,520 the date in place of the time a section was completed into the bottom. 60 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,740 So on the map here you can see the larger dimension of this. 61 00:07:31,740 --> 00:07:43,720 There's a map across Maharashtra, particularly Mediterranean, some of Russia stuff, and also in the front are three places in terms of movement. 62 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:53,470 I will come to the zoomed in map. All kind of shows you bingo, which bingo and DR. 63 00:07:53,470 --> 00:08:03,400 And a couple of other markers over here is that a very large said of the Martyrs Committee? 64 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:11,350 The bodies also contain a vast collection of Marathi brooches, such as the vodka reports, many sure it to come out. 65 00:08:11,350 --> 00:08:15,010 But he petitioned the vision, the vision of Colonel Gabriel. 66 00:08:15,010 --> 00:08:21,760 But you've heard a printed letter from a large number of Massimo Moratti brands that also found these books, 67 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:28,660 along with British and Gujarati breads in Canada. And some in this multilingual property, however, 68 00:08:28,660 --> 00:08:34,510 is almost English copied in the Bible and occasionally in very little red meat 69 00:08:34,510 --> 00:08:41,230 ActionScript language that some of the bodies contain the subtext of single compositions. 70 00:08:41,230 --> 00:08:42,490 But others more common. 71 00:08:42,490 --> 00:08:51,400 We have excerpts chapters and fragments from different texts copied into the same book, and many are like large compendium of texts. 72 00:08:51,400 --> 00:09:00,400 So one say 200 plus page modern grammar has selections from remboursement a little while and then just amassing, 73 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:12,850 followed by verses attributed to his disciples. When I buy A-levels, this is my best moment I can accept, mostly with 10 children. 74 00:09:12,850 --> 00:09:23,320 But there's no doubt some babies are going to be in his bed at first or another, such as a from Buster on an iPod. 75 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,370 The content in these books is not ordering in any discernable way, 76 00:09:27,370 --> 00:09:33,160 known to be marked by any individual ownership in the sense of being a particular moments diary, 77 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:41,620 much less authorship as the handwriting in each varies. In short order, the product of a sectarian emphasis on daily writing, 78 00:09:41,620 --> 00:09:50,460 the number two bottom was a vehicle for the transmission of a variety of boyardee in Britain and other languages. 79 00:09:50,460 --> 00:10:01,620 This is just a kind of visual sense of of some of the different kinds of writing in the in various products. 80 00:10:01,620 --> 00:10:08,250 The profusion of reporting these networks itself principles and look at the cross-pollination in manuscript 81 00:10:08,250 --> 00:10:14,490 between the parties and the lessons have been seen as theologically as well as socially divergent. 82 00:10:14,490 --> 00:10:22,950 Some of those other factors, however, and the presence in them, this one difficult or often obvious on this presentation. 83 00:10:22,950 --> 00:10:31,980 The pundits books by and and there are many others adopted the epic sentence for five years into long metaphors. 84 00:10:31,980 --> 00:10:40,110 Poems are actions and words that also mama's action, although their individual compositions and balance were diverse. 85 00:10:40,110 --> 00:10:44,220 This widely marks an important stylistic departure from which their friends 86 00:10:44,220 --> 00:10:50,370 of the would be an obvious actions to many of them emulated sense of idioms, 87 00:10:50,370 --> 00:10:57,200 movies and gun violence an opportunity for the highbrow, engaged audience. 88 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:03,170 Let Emirati criticism, and yet I'm thinking of the Saudis and the monarchy Malatsi has volumes issued by the site. 89 00:11:03,170 --> 00:11:07,490 The British ship has found some big brands thing in this effort. 90 00:11:07,490 --> 00:11:12,980 It does pronounce them as maybe it appropriately sends to those mock up the American League 91 00:11:12,980 --> 00:11:18,320 that optimises mainly descriptive fodder for give them the moniker for mythical work. 92 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:24,380 And the company, in fact, is an enormous indictment of the investment in style over substance and the 93 00:11:24,380 --> 00:11:30,320 liability of member of the board to properly adapt Sanskrit readers and vocabulary. 94 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:38,180 The stylistic scientific exists has been greeted with the decadence of the end and the American patronage, 95 00:11:38,180 --> 00:11:42,110 and contrasted with the ethical debates of some of the Guardian or the original 96 00:11:42,110 --> 00:11:48,410 poetry on the one hand and the more authentic appeal or shiny poetry on the other. 97 00:11:48,410 --> 00:11:53,270 However, if you approach this poetry through its networks of circulation with dims, 98 00:11:53,270 --> 00:11:58,850 the spatial context and material practises of the maritime sector that sustain these networks, 99 00:11:58,850 --> 00:12:06,020 and that may help us arrive at more textured engagements with language practise and vernacular. 100 00:12:06,020 --> 00:12:14,990 So we've still some stable backgrounds, never been tested on how the electoral genealogies rooted in voting bananas or play, 101 00:12:14,990 --> 00:12:25,340 they were part of the early modern world of scribes and the move that that Foley and others have vividly described in Denmark. 102 00:12:25,340 --> 00:12:35,450 Author of the summer Brach Sorry, the but Marathi text in the jump genre in from a longstanding tribal sovereignty son Jack Lemmon Country. 103 00:12:35,450 --> 00:12:40,280 He himself walked on the Moon Saturday and was the patient was walking back from the dead. 104 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:45,170 And then later on, I'm in the female restroom. At the time I meet with an audience. 105 00:12:45,170 --> 00:12:54,800 Young imam in southern Melbourne's family had migrated like many petty literati from the frozen into the hinterland in search of tribal employment. 106 00:12:54,800 --> 00:13:03,410 His father's name was embedded somehow and the sentences to copyright inquisition and then the bottom about the growth of the West Bank are mabuti. 107 00:13:03,410 --> 00:13:12,290 Like they remembered. Biographies also resonate strongly with the material world of writing and documentation, 108 00:13:12,290 --> 00:13:17,270 describing its native handing her with a close association with the numbers of Democrats. 109 00:13:17,270 --> 00:13:25,100 The Melbourne based mother Swami Shomron, a member of the now but almost associated with the Maupassant banjo and monogamy 110 00:13:25,100 --> 00:13:30,500 and meditation from the bottom of the the movements of the blood vessels. 111 00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:36,290 Them performance was also the major mode of conflict, Iraq temperature beyond 30 minutes. 112 00:13:36,290 --> 00:13:39,070 So let's just guidelines in the Dust Bowl, 113 00:13:39,070 --> 00:13:45,810 the hurricane chemical plant to begin a live performance of musical interludes by the turn of the 18th century. 114 00:13:45,810 --> 00:13:53,630 The scrimmage with the experimentation particularly bad of an independent with music centimetres and spit 115 00:13:53,630 --> 00:14:00,530 or feathers sugar fragments which would be inserted into people nervous as elaboration as when a stopgap. 116 00:14:00,530 --> 00:14:06,980 So remember how the dance? I remember the last article and the gift that keeps on giving? 117 00:14:06,980 --> 00:14:14,050 And it's perhaps medical incidents that I remember them as the most popular, often coming that this virus. 118 00:14:14,050 --> 00:14:18,220 I'm a minimalist friend, but I'm not afraid of our common stock, 119 00:14:18,220 --> 00:14:25,510 we're going for explorations of individual experiments with metre and style that straddled poetry and music, 120 00:14:25,510 --> 00:14:32,590 particularly in R&B music and even traces of the sexual history of the sexual history of actual poetry. 121 00:14:32,590 --> 00:14:40,360 We didn't give them. This would indicate that these men would still be acquired as the in the performance, 122 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:46,570 as she has described the rock band minus a textural trace of muscle in spite of themselves. 123 00:14:46,570 --> 00:14:55,370 However, a striking feature of the new which makes me surmised that the primary function of the muscle bar was not as a key battlegrounds 124 00:14:55,370 --> 00:15:05,050 mobile biting aid or for other forms of performance like markedly absent in them erotic or devotional norms and heroic bloodlust, 125 00:15:05,050 --> 00:15:10,240 which are also popular in performance and which are present in marketing notebooks. 126 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:17,630 There's practically nothing you remember Sushi, who also performed them and moved in the same social circle as of. 127 00:15:17,630 --> 00:15:22,100 Rotations and various models of admissions that particular portions were completed and by 128 00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:27,470 her suggest that individual look certainly travelled with pilgrims and different guns, 129 00:15:27,470 --> 00:15:32,150 enabling the transmission of particular points and next one might have been worked out yet. 130 00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:37,010 Overall, the numbers involved, I think, is an archive of her logic of practise. 131 00:15:37,010 --> 00:15:43,520 Let's move in opposite directions of what performance and prominence, lack of aural improvisation and give them, 132 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:51,380 as well as a documentary impulse sustained by copious reading and copying in the discipline heavy space in help. 133 00:15:51,380 --> 00:15:56,750 This documentary impulse did not imply a magic archiving for posterity. 134 00:15:56,750 --> 00:16:05,720 Even though I famously underlines that writers must keep some jobs in mind when writing carefully and allegedly in practise, 135 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:14,530 the actual documentation of this protein in the bodies was produced by the daily presence labours of Devotion Copy. 136 00:16:14,530 --> 00:16:20,680 So it's within this material context, then that we have to ask how and we need other kinds of poetry, 137 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:26,950 these notebooks circulated the ways in which it conceptualised that the Transport 138 00:16:26,950 --> 00:16:32,710 Market Initiative and how we might desegregate this popularity and readers, 139 00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:38,620 listeners as scribes with agency excepted memorised and copied particular poets. 140 00:16:38,620 --> 00:16:52,250 And next, especially sorry. Five minutes I got into the space after my suggests that this public was glamour men largely male, 141 00:16:52,250 --> 00:16:59,360 even in a totally performative moment and thus more socially circumscribed than the more inclusive are going to give them. 142 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:04,010 Yet this does not automatically imply looseness at ease with the transcript. 143 00:17:04,010 --> 00:17:15,590 Heavy innovations in 2030 one body I've seen has line by line animations fluorescence with fixed text with word MR meanings in the same hand, 144 00:17:15,590 --> 00:17:20,660 suggesting that these were skills to be acquired amongst trade listeners. 145 00:17:20,660 --> 00:17:31,920 Assumptions in the land one of the dumbass. Some of that indeed, may well explain why some approached 500 metres and vocabulary. 146 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,210 Even at these delimited circuits of transmission under Richard Knight, 147 00:17:36,210 --> 00:17:43,260 differentiated approaches and skills and specific speech and driving practises is the methodological objection, 148 00:17:43,260 --> 00:17:50,520 as well as a challenge to the standard history of the sublimation to keep them going through a rich, 149 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,740 multilingual musical tradition and then jump back a little quicker and better. 150 00:17:54,740 --> 00:18:00,450 That's not is one of the most popular in the Bendjelloul members. 151 00:18:00,450 --> 00:18:03,960 All of these were invariably copied in my work with somebody. 152 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:09,390 And here you can see a bother with excerpts from a sunset strip that and a woman that it could be 153 00:18:09,390 --> 00:18:15,620 in Bible script and the mutation of this suddenly set as the basic exercises of medicine cabinet. 154 00:18:15,620 --> 00:18:18,180 It was a practise in Nairobi. 155 00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:26,760 What is graphic evidence tells me, is that multilingual skills amongst immigrant groups and give them cars rather than literate, 156 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,550 literate skills, enable them to copy Marathi poetry, 157 00:18:29,550 --> 00:18:37,020 some of the more intimate than General Motors, as well as circular compositions from Marathi and other languages, 158 00:18:37,020 --> 00:18:44,280 most notably printed in Assam along with them with man put on the sea returns for the not. 159 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:53,850 The late money no anticipated from just five seniors argument about melted weapons showed that a temporary team from Germany produced a 160 00:18:53,850 --> 00:19:03,510 distinctively Mexican strand in Sam and one thing that is going to be appreciate the movement alongside its candidates and no contemporaries, 161 00:19:03,510 --> 00:19:09,150 no chided the Simon Jamison imperialist and parochial perspective American scholarship, 162 00:19:09,150 --> 00:19:20,580 which had merit to prove to Benjeroop as a product of medical imperial presence, but also as a curiosity in Marathi, which used to solve children, 163 00:19:20,580 --> 00:19:26,430 said the question of sublimation into the strong regional story by talking about 164 00:19:26,430 --> 00:19:31,470 the metric of numbers in Macau's native regiments and the rightist tribal world. 165 00:19:31,470 --> 00:19:36,030 And there's still much to uncover about the modalities of the circulation, 166 00:19:36,030 --> 00:19:43,530 and I'm aware I have really highlighted the archival and methodological horizons here without sending them a line of actual work. 167 00:19:43,530 --> 00:19:50,550 But I believe this material approach can help us begin to sketch unmet medical literary public trust 168 00:19:50,550 --> 00:19:57,540 in diverse genres of factory and operated multilaterally at local as well as transnational networks. 169 00:19:57,540 --> 00:19:58,784 Thank you.
