I am currently with the International Institute of Asian Studies (IIAS), Leiden, The Netherlands where I am Academic Director of the program, “Humanities across Borders: Asia and Africa in the World” (HaB) (www.humanitiesacrossborders.org). HaB is an educational program engaged in creating spaces of academia-society dialogue for building a universally applicable, situated-learning model of curricula development and pedagogy beyond the classroom. <br />My research interrogates narratives of culture, economy and nation in postcolonial societies from the vantage of diverse subject positions especially those constituted around manual work and skilled labour. I am especially interested in artisanal self-identification in global modernity. My most recent publication is the book We Who Wove with Lotus Thread: Summoning Community in South India (Orient Blackswan, January 2018).<br /><div class="js-profile-less-about u-linkUnstyled

In comparison, the movement of patterned textiles, especially silk, along the geographies and cultures throughout the first millennium CE, has received scant attention. Scholarship and exhibitions on the Silk Roads via both land and sea in the past five decades have no doubt opened new pathways to transregional dialogue and exchange, but as art historian, Angela Sheng, has noted, "textiles have not merited detailed discussions in any of these historical accounts". The present UNESCO volume redresses this gap in the literature.

Examining notions of craftsmanship as expounded by Muneyoshi (Soetsu) Yanagi (1889–1961) in Japan and Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay (1903– 1988) in India, I explore how craft came to be initially deployed as a peg to situate an imagined 'Asian' civilizational affinity following the friendship forged between <br /> Okakura Tenshin and Rabindranath Tagore. In the post-War period craft came to be accepted world-wide as a modernist project for Asian countries seeking to re-build their national self-hood. What were the routes taken by India and Japan? We know that Kamaladevi was deeply impressed by Japan's valorisation of its artisans as 'national treasures' and understood well the significance of state-led institutionalisation of craft for India's national development. How did Kamaladevi and Yanagi re-constitute folk craft as aestheticized labour on the international stage of nations emerging from the ravages of war? What were the metaphors,<br />affinities and aesthetics invoked by the two cultural interlocuters in shaping the emergent transnational craft-scape, whose legacy continues in contemporary craft (and design) conversations between India and Japan? The paper will take up articulations around the linkages between the sari and the kimono as unstitched or textile garments, to constitute a shared crafts ethic.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="25850d0c4172d16b17efd3e9e5c61c1e" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":90485567,"asset_id":85918742,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/90485567/download_file?st=MTczNDAzNjc4MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="85918742"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="85918742"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 85918742; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=85918742]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=85918742]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 85918742; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='85918742']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 85918742, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "25850d0c4172d16b17efd3e9e5c61c1e" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=85918742]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":85918742,"title":"Sari-Kimono and the Making of a Transnational Craft-scape","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"In this exploratory paper, I inquire into the re-articulation of craft in India and Japan during the first half of the 20th century.

Examining notions of craftsmanship as expounded by Muneyoshi<br />(Soetsu) Yanagi (1889–1961) in Japan and Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay (1903– 1988) in India, I<br />explore how craft came to be initially deployed as a peg to situate an imagined 'Asian' civilizational<br />affinity following the friendship forged between Okakura Tenshin and Rabindranath Tagore. In the<br />post-War period craft came to be accepted world-wide as a modernist project for Asian countries<br />seeking to re-build their national self-hood. What were the routes taken by India and Japan?

Seeking answers to this question also highlights the different spaces and roles women occupied in the renewed debates about crafts, as well as the intended and unintended consequences of foregrounding women’s capacities in craft in relation to their home-based skills.","owner":{"id":6159362,"first_name":"Aarti","middle_initials":"","last_name":"Kawlra","page_name":"AartiKawlra","domain_name":"iias","created_at":"2013-10-15T11:45:31.252-07:00","display_name":"Aarti Kawlra","url":"https://iias.academia.edu/AartiKawlra"},"attachments":[{"id":106482854,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/106482854/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Kawlra_2023_Anti_postcolonial_feminisms.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/106482854/download_file?st=MTczNDAzNjc4Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczNDAzNjc4MSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Question_of_Women_and_Craft_Pre_and.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/106482854/Kawlra_2023_Anti_postcolonial_feminisms-libre.pdf?1697015311=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Question_of_Women_and_Craft_Pre_and.pdf\u0026Expires=1734040381\u0026Signature=UNrE5Z59oyrt06tcGT-BxD-53MUVQjS1QqJQ3TUxkQrm0PrT0wVVwQeq5tihB9u8A3F9-0Hra0LiPgHp~0FA2KFnT~DC0K-qkdz06DrJ~582gJmG3vZx3-3vaKWU-kA1oBLN-lEhe5R6iVxScHMJcF9zONxB0qrJMP0SEHU7DNUQbZdVtj44Vk1mmZ2XcKqKqAuY-Ak4d13gg0c6Na7xLtiY9t2h526Dj5tLXENgR2EN79WS66IQcfu4NGTtVF8JcOZwnO-qXejOk237oph5DUeeR-DweVc5Z0~5fzxUEhe1pTkMAWR8AyRQSUGofR0HEudCdI5Mes7ip5OWLv6nOQ__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":194,"name":"Feminist Sociology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Feminist_Sociology"},{"id":3392,"name":"Critical Pedagogy","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Critical_Pedagogy"},{"id":4474,"name":"Critical Thinking","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Critical_Thinking"},{"id":53409,"name":"Arts and Crafts","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Arts_and_Crafts"},{"id":553381,"name":"Critical Craft Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Critical_Craft_Studies"},{"id":1035972,"name":"Theory (Anthropological, Critical, Postcolonial, Feminist, Psychoanalytic, and Post structural), Arts and Crafts Movement Revival, U.S","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Theory_Anthropological_Critical_Postcolonial_Feminist_Psychoanalytic_and_Post_structural_Art"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="93205445"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/93205445/Hybrid_creature_motifs_as_cross_cultural_transmission_along_the_Silk_Roads"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Hybrid creature motifs as cross-cultural transmission along the Silk Roads" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/96007050/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/93205445/Hybrid_creature_motifs_as_cross_cultural_transmission_along_the_Silk_Roads">Hybrid creature motifs as cross-cultural transmission along the Silk Roads</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--coauthors"><span>by </span><span><a class="" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-authors" href="https://iias.academia.edu/AartiKawlra">Aarti Kawlra</a> and <a class="" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-authors" href="https://aud-in.academia.edu/SurajitSarkar">Surajit Sarkar</a></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Textile and Clothing along the Silk Road, edited by Zhao Feng and Marie-Louise Nosch</span><span>, 2022</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">The Indian subcontinent in the world of the Silk Roads The pivotal place of India in the transreg...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">The Indian subcontinent in the world of the Silk Roads The pivotal place of India in the transregional network of trade in cloth with the entry of British, Dutch and, later, French trading companies in the early seventeenth century has been well documented in global historiography.

The paper will take up articulations around the linkages between the sari\nand the kimono as unstitched or textile garments, to constitute a shared crafts ethic.","owner":{"id":6159362,"first_name":"Aarti","middle_initials":"","last_name":"Kawlra","page_name":"AartiKawlra","domain_name":"iias","created_at":"2013-10-15T11:45:31.252-07:00","display_name":"Aarti Kawlra","url":"https://iias.academia.edu/AartiKawlra"},"attachments":[{"id":67635682,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/67635682/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"Kawlra_2021_India_Japan_Craftscape_138_152.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/67635682/download_file?st=MTczNDAzNjc4Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczNDAzNjc4Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Sari_Kimono_and_the_making_of_a_transnat.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/67635682/Kawlra_2021_India_Japan_Craftscape_138_152-libre.pdf?1623774401=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DSari_Kimono_and_the_making_of_a_transnat.pdf\u0026Expires=1734040382\u0026Signature=LUxWHkSUHMleVL8u1bPUKPEmXEAPJat2mOlm3kC659K8qqqjzUb5I5bnLFZ3jGhCksvXSAVEVjCLiFIbn~r-mpJuNL22MrI4MD-rDb46Ks4CxY8wAu25~R~IadHr-eAyXS49VDANek2jXlPI2Gx5Yz1QcgG9ge1XcuptsowX3wVXFONGvVaWAl3owQY2lQFcBM-IpLwoPT7VCOvtk9RvcNLkTPl~DoiiOhGelyl~Vrg1tg2-dx4H4AvZzcT0lu9ssSJxRUEWQORsa84tl428Lyjh6nlWS7PGZ-wgK-ixOls32SA4NFSLIwRsBtfNi3NGiT80Qp5wolzo7vvz2iXXSw__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":135,"name":"Intellectual History","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Intellectual_History"},{"id":767,"name":"Anthropology","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Anthropology"},{"id":2473,"name":"Material Culture Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Material_Culture_Studies"},{"id":16903,"name":"Traditional Crafts","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Traditional_Crafts"},{"id":113473,"name":"Art and Design","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Art_and_Design"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="47579993"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/47579993/At_School_with_Design_Early_Explorations_in_Introducing_Design_in_the_Curriculum_at_The_School_Krishnamurti_Foundation_of_India_KFI_Chennai"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of At School with Design Early Explorations in Introducing Design in the Curriculum at The School, Krishnamurti Foundation of India (KFI), Chennai" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/66600659/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/47579993/At_School_with_Design_Early_Explorations_in_Introducing_Design_in_the_Curriculum_at_The_School_Krishnamurti_Foundation_of_India_KFI_Chennai">At School with Design Early Explorations in Introducing Design in the Curriculum at The School, Krishnamurti Foundation of India (KFI), Chennai</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">As teachers we have recognized that space that lends itself to use in multiple ways is far more v...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">As teachers we have recognized that space that lends itself to use in multiple ways is far more valuable than space which can be used only in one way….
