With a response by Peter Constantine. Can resistance be fun? Doctoral researcher Ashmita Mukherjee argues for a new approach to understanding anti-colonial resistance in South Asia in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Rather than focusing solely on traditional political and military histories, she examines the power of literary amusement and its emotive impact. She defines amusement as a transient, light, bright, and sparkling emotion that, despite its fleeting nature, has proven to be an enduring method of exposition, critique, subversion, and community building. Her work is guided by the affective turn in literary studies, drawing on the methodologies of scholars like Rita Felski and Sara Ahmed as well as concepts from classical Indian aesthetics, particularly "rasa theory," to uncover how shared pleasure could create a sense of collective identity. She uses examples from several genres, including editorial articles and longer works by British, Anglo-Indian, and Indian-origin writers spanning a century up to Indian independence from British rule. Editorial satire, science writing and speculative fiction, children's literature, and amusing sketches illustrate how printed texts expressed the complex emotional landscape of a nation in the making, and became a fundamental part of shaping national consciousness.Ashmita Mukherjee is a doctoral researcher in Comparative Literature at the University of Connecticut. Her dissertation, "Textual Pleasures: Amusement and Affect in Post/Colonial India (1850-1950)," examines the role of literary amusement as a tool for anti-colonial resistance. She is interested in global 19th-20th century, theories of emotion and affect, South Asian Studies, world literature and culture, public humanities, and digital media. She has published articles in Literature/Film Quarterly and South Asian Review, and is a creator and co-host at the YouTube channel @theantilibrarypodcast.
