摘要

Drawing upon a nineteenth-century Sri Lankan illustrated satiric magazine called Muniandi, I examine how we might view representations of Ceylon by the Ceylonese that complement colonial representations, and yet stand in tension with those imperial visualizations. Through an analysis of three illustrations of Muniandi, I show how the magazine reveals mixed messages when it contends with Orientalist discourses of Ceylon in an ambivalent manner. I argue that Muniandi becomes a site where complicity or participation coexists with subversion, providing a point of intersection between colonial and nationalist discourses. However, I hesitate to argue that Muniandi intentionally appropriates imperial discourses in its narrative to resist colonial discourses. While resistance implies deliberate subversion, I contend that in the Ceylonese context, Muniandi assimilates the dominant discourse only to reinterpret it for its own use and create its own utterances. In my attempt to disrupt problematic hierarchies where a colonial divide between the British and the Ceylonese is reinforced, this essay uncovers the conflicting and contradictory perspectives within Muniandi which complicate oppositional perspectives, interrogating interpretations which reduce Ceylonese representations to an oversimplified rhetoric of resistance to colonial productions.View full textDownload full textKeywordsMuniandi, colonial, caricature, race, Ceylon, press, magazineRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/17460654.2012.694691
