Spectrum Reading

Reading the Animal in the Literature of the British Raj explores representations of animals during British rule in India–the tigers, elephants, boars, furs, and feathers that sometimes all but obscured the human beneath and behind them, and that were integral in the creation and maintenance of the hierarchies of colonialism.

Reading the Animal in the Literature of the British Raj explores representations of animals during British rule in India–the tigers, elephants, boars, furs, and feathers that sometimes all but obscured the human beneath and behind them, and that were integral in the creation and maintenance of the hierarchies of colonialism. The book exists on two levels: one offers a sophisticated view of how power and oppression work within constellations of species, race, class, gender, and nationhood, and the other is a deeply suggestive meditation on our humanness and how we locate it within a spectrum of relations.

The 2nd International Conference on Computer Science and Mechanical Automation carried on the success from last year and received overwhelming support from the research community as evidenced by the number of high quality submissions. The conference accepted articles through rigorous peer review process.
