 4. Plant Life and Imperialism: Histories of Cannabis in British India


PLANT LIFE AND IMPERIALISM: HISTORIES OF CANNABIS IN BRITISH INDIA

Wednesday, February 8 at 5:30pm

UCSB History Associates presents "Plant Life and Imperialism: Histories of
Cannabis in British India" with Assistant Professor Utathya Chattopadhyaya.

This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be provided.
Please RSVP to historyassociates@ia.ucsb.edu. Co-sponsored by the Santa Barbara
Public Library.

Description: Are histories of social structures, imperial systems and the
subjecthood of peoples not also histories of plant life? Taking on plant genus,
that modern botany labels cannabis, this talk explores how and why we should
embrace the proximity between human and nonhuman life as a basic condition for
narrating history itself. In British India, across the 18th to the 20th
centuries, different forms of cannabis substances animated the history of
working classes, gender, race, rural communities, and state formation in ways
that also echoed the complex biochemistry and psychoactive variability of
cannabis intoxicants. To understand the unfolding of modern British imperialism,
the ways in which cannabis straddled its statuses as plant, commodity,
substance, form, and matter can be crucial as it sheds important light on
histories that have so far remained out of focus.

Utathya Chattopadhyaya is an Assistant Professor of History at UCSB. He is a
scholar of modern South Asia, British imperialism, and comparative colonialism
in world history. His research examines how rural geographies, agrarian social
life, sacral cosmologies, imperial print culture, and practices of state
formation were continuously shaped by substances and pursuits of intoxication.
His work brings histories of multispecies entanglements to bear upon categories
of social history, such as class, race, caste, gender and the body using
critical materialist and anti-imperial approaches to history.

UCSB History Associates brings together campus and community around a shared
passion for history. Become a member today!
