Disaffected: E
motion, Sedition, and Colonial Law in the Anglosphere
In
1870, Section 124a of the Indian Penal Code made “disaffection” a key
term in its arsenal against critique by targeting the affect of writing de
emed threatening, as opposed to seditious statements. Section 124a shaped c
onversations in the colonial public sphere; the way various forms of anti-c
olonialism took shape; and the relationship between the state and the publi
c in the postcolony. Disaffection, this talk argues, is a crucial term for
understanding the centrality of affect to governance in the colonial period
and the way calls for civility were used to segregate the public sphere, a
s well as for recognizing and analyzing the varied forms that critique took
under conditions of censorship.

Imperial Truth Mechanics: Law and Forensic Scien
ce in Colonial India
This talk will explore two sets of
big ideas that were in tension with each other during the heyday of forensi
c science in British India. Between the mid-nineteenth century and the mid-
twentieth, colonial stereotypes about “native mendacity” powered the crimin
al justice system’s turn to western science. At the same time, another
line of colonial reasoning may have stunted the rigorous presentation of s
cientific opinion in the courtroom. The talk explores this tension through
the example of state toxicologists known as the chemical examiners.
