SUMMARY:Pious labour: Islam\, artisanship\, and technology in colonial Ind

DESCRIPTION:Artisan industrial workers in late nineteenth and early twenti
 eth-century north India faced radical industrial and technological shifts 
 in their trades. To negotiate these changes\, many Muslim artisans in trad
 es such as blacksmithing\, carpentry\, and tailoring asserted distinctive 
 Islamic traditions for their work and technologies of production. In this 
 talk\, I argue that Muslim artisans made claims on pious technical knowled
 ge in a context where industrial authority was increasingly associated wit
 h the colonial state and Indian middle classes. I likewise explore the arc
 hive of Muslim artisans' pious technical knowledge\, analysing the emergen
 ce of new intersections of embodied and textual knowledge of craft within 
 the Indian print economy.
