Nachania (नचंनिया), translated as ‘female dancer’, refers to both a traditional Indo-Jamaican folk dance that has local origins in indentureship, and to those who perform it. The dance is characterized by flamboyant flailing hands, counterbalanced by acrobatic feats and yogic moments synchronous with beat drops. Its unbound choreography salvages important religio-cultural and historical narratives through ecstatic paroxysmal dance often with sexual overtones. This performance is important in ritualized and celebratory spaces to entertain crowds. While performing, Nachanias would have money launched at them, and they would sometimes engage men in dance. The performers were, and still are, frequently men who assume a different gendered role garbed in conscious ‘feminizing’ technologies such as make-up, jewellery and a frock. Especially during indentureship and the period immediately after, it was ‘vulgar’ for women to dance publicly or perform at religious ceremonies. Early women Nachanias were read as tainted spectacles, some of whom the archives record as professional ‘entertainers’. Inspired by the author’s curiosity, Indo-Jamaican identity, observations of Nachania and discourses with Ghanesh Maragh (one of the few contemporary performers of this artform), this article casts Indo-Jamaicans into the unbound erotic gendered tradition of Jamaica and indentureship by (a) tracing the (inter)religious, gendered, and historical anatomy of the lauded folk performance from the period of indentureship to the present in Jamaica and the Indo-Jamaican diaspora; (b) exploring themes of bidesia; and (c) examining possible problems with situating Nachania within categories of queer.
Nachania (नचंनिया),翻译为“女舞者”,指的是一种传统的印度-牙买加民间舞蹈,它起源于当地的契约,也指那些表演它的人。舞蹈的特点是华丽的挥手,辅以杂技技巧和与节拍同步的瑜伽瞬间。其无拘无束的舞蹈编排通过通常带有性意味的狂喜的突发舞蹈,挽救了重要的宗教文化和历史叙事。这种表演在仪式化和庆祝空间中很重要,可以娱乐人群。在表演的时候,拿迦尼亚会有人向他们扔钱,他们有时会和男人跳舞。这些演员过去是,现在仍然是男性,他们扮演着不同的性别角色,有意识地用化妆、珠宝和连衣裙等“女性化”技术来装扮自己。特别是在契约时期和之后的一段时间里,女性在公共场合跳舞或在宗教仪式上表演是“粗俗的”。早期的拿查尼亚女性被认为是有污点的眼镜,其中一些人在档案中被记录为专业的“艺人”。受作者的好奇心、印度-牙买加人的身份、对纳查尼亚的观察以及与加纳什·马拉(为数不多的这种艺术形式的当代表演者之一)的谈话的启发,本文将印度-牙买加人置于牙买加和契约制的无拘无束的色情性别传统中,通过(a)追溯(跨)宗教、性别和历史解剖,从契约制时期到现在,在牙买加和印度-牙买加侨民中备受赞誉的民间表演;(b)探讨bidesia的主题;(c)研究将纳查尼亚归入酷儿类别可能存在的问题。

: Torabully’s poems are both an act of and call for grieving. His poem that most clearly communicates this manifesto is ‘The Tears of Exile’… Coolitude demands mourning not only as recognition for and tribute for indentures, but also as a healing strategy operating at both the private and public, a practice toward claim of a fuller humanity.
Torabully的诗既是一种悲伤的行为,也是对悲伤的呼唤。他的诗,最清楚地传达了这一宣言是“流放的眼泪”…Coolitude要求哀悼不仅是对契约的认可和致敬,也是一种治疗策略,在私人和公共领域都在运作,一种实践,要求一个更完整的人性。

Andil Gosine’s Cane Portraiture and the aesthetics of indenture Andil gosin的手杖肖像与契约美学
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.13169/jofstudindentleg.3.1.0133

Andil Gosine’s participant-driven performance Cane Portraiture aestheticizes the social history of indentured labourers in the Caribbean. The work expands the field of relations surrounding the discourse of ‘coolitude’ – the dissemination of Indian labour during the 19th century – by redressing the ‘coolie odyssey’. By doing so, Gosine suggests that the pathos of displacement produced by the ‘coolie odyssey’ moves through generations of the Caribbean diaspora. In an attempt to define and reconcile this tension, Cane Portraiture attempts to locate a renewed sense of place and of ‘home’. For Gosine, then, the conceptualization of ‘home’ is approached as an embodiment of a person or site that is shared with others.
Andil gosin的参与者驱动的表演《甘蔗肖像》对加勒比海地区契约劳工的社会历史进行了审美化。该作品通过纠正“苦力奥德赛”,扩展了围绕“苦力”话语的关系领域。“苦力”是19世纪印度劳动力的传播。通过这样做,戈西尼认为,“苦力奥德赛”所产生的流离失所的悲怆,在加勒比移民的几代人中传播开来。为了定义和调和这种紧张关系,凯恩肖像试图找到一种新的地方和“家”的感觉。因此,对于gosin来说,“家”的概念是与他人共享的个人或场所的体现。

Brown femininities and the queer erotics of indentureship 布朗女性主义和契约中的酷儿情色
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.13169/jofstudindentleg.2.1.0098
Jordache A. Ellapen
This photo essay curates two interrelated bodies of creative work, Queering the Archive: Brown Bodies in Ecstasy (2013-ongoing) and The Brown Photo Album: An Archive of Feminist Futurities (2020), to explore the queer afterlives of indentureship in South Africa through the aesthetic realm. Queering the Archive and The Brown Photo Album are influenced by the photo archive of an Afro-Indian family from rural Kwa Zulu Natal. The curation of these two interrelated projects as this photo essay, Brown Femininities and the Queer Erotics of Indentureship, positions the maternal-feminine as central to the making of Afro-Indianness and to my own understanding of sexuality, beauty, pleasure and the erotic as informed by the home-space of the Afro-Indian family. This project maps my mother’s desire to create a visual archive of the Afro-Indian woman in the immediate afterlife of indentureship onto my own desire to create a visual archive of the Afro-Indian queer experience in contemporary South Africa. The images translate the violence associate with the sugarcane plantations and indentureship into an aesthetic of pleasure where the past, present, and future as well as Black, Brown, and white bodies rub against and touch each other as an ongoing practice dedicated to re-imagining Afro-Indian intimacies and South African Blackness.
这篇摄影文章策划了两个相互关联的创意作品,《酷尔档案:狂喜中的棕色身体》(2013年至今)和《布朗相册:女权主义未来档案》(2020年),通过美学领域探索南非契约制度的酷尔后世。《古怪的档案》和《棕色相册》受到了来自夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省农村的一个非洲裔印度家庭的照片档案的影响。这两个相互关联的项目的策划,就像这篇摄影文章,棕色女性和契约的酷儿色情,将母性女性定位为非裔印度人的核心,也是我自己对性,美,快乐和色情的理解的核心,这些都是由非裔印度家庭的家庭空间所传达的。这个项目将我母亲的愿望映射到我自己的愿望上,即创建一个非裔印度女性在契约关系结束后的视觉档案,以创建一个当代南非非裔印度酷儿经历的视觉档案。这些图像将与甘蔗种植园和契约关系相关的暴力转化为一种愉悦的美学,在这里,过去,现在和未来以及黑人,棕色人种和白人的身体相互摩擦和接触,作为一种持续的实践,致力于重新想象非裔印度人和南非黑人的亲密关系。

Artistic meanderings through Coolitude 通过Coolitude的艺术漫步

Danny Amos Flynn
Referencing two 19th-century identity photographs of Indian migrants named Beekano and Doorgana, taken from the research of historian Marina Carter at the Mauritian Archives, Flynn has produced artworks using the obsolete method of screen-printing to transform the portraits that originally were to aid an oppressive colonial regime focused on policing and immobilizing its immigrant labour. He has also involved the same two individuals in a fictionalized scene in which a surreal fantasy takes Beekano on a journey where he is stripped of his physical body and disappears to be released before any destination is arrived at.
参考毛里求斯档案馆历史学家Marina Carter研究的两张19世纪印度移民Beekano和Doorgana的身份照片,Flynn使用过时的丝网印刷方法制作了艺术品,改变了最初旨在帮助压迫性殖民政权的肖像,这些肖像专注于维持和固定其移民劳动力。他还把这两个人卷入了一个虚构的场景中,在这个场景中,一个超现实的幻想把Beekano带到了一段旅程中,在那里他被剥夺了他的身体,在到达任何目的地之前就消失了,被释放了。

Archives in drag 拖拽档案
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.13169/jofstudindentleg.2.1.0015
Suzanne C. Persard
‘Archives in drag: Performing nachaniya towards a queer theory of indenture’ takes as its object the figure of the Indo-Jamaican nachaniya dancer as a paradigm for re-thinking queer theories of indenture. Nachaniya is a highly stylized Indo-Jamaican folk dance featuring a heterosexual male dancing in drag. The performance, which can be traced to the nineteenth century, is still common within present-day Indo-Jamaican communities and the diaspora. Nachaniya therefore presents both parts of a queer historical and living archive. By using an archival photograph from the 1960s of a nachaniya dancer as a point of entry, I consider the ways in which this genre of Indo-Jamaican folk performance demonstrates gender non-normativity as deeply embedded within the indentured archive. Since nachaniya is also read as not necessarily queer but ‘cultural’, I am interested in the tensions between a refusal to categorize the performance as a kind of drag while simultaneously elevating its ‘cultural’ status and the slippage between ‘queer’ and ‘culture’. I consider the figure of the nachaniya dancer as what Anjali Arondekar has termed a site of ‘ordinary surplus’ rather than a site of queer exception. Through a reading of this queer archival photograph, I consider destabilizing narratives of loss or absence that saturate approaches to the queer archive of indenture to suggest that nachaniya is a useful paradigm for theorizing the nexus at which Indo-Jamaican archives and queers of indenture have been theorized as ‘nothing to see’.
“变装档案:向契约的酷儿理论表演nachaniya”以印度-牙买加nachaniya舞者的形象为对象,作为重新思考契约的酷儿理论的范例。Nachaniya是一种高度风格化的印度-牙买加民间舞蹈,以异性恋男性的变装舞蹈为特色。这种表演可以追溯到19世纪,在今天的印度-牙买加社区和侨民中仍然很常见。因此,Nachaniya呈现了一个酷儿历史和生活档案的两个部分。我以一张1960年代nachaniya舞者的档案照片为切入点,思考这种印度-牙买加民间表演的方式,展示了性别非规范性,这种非规范性深深植根于契约档案中。由于nachaniya也被解读为不一定是酷儿,而是“文化”,我对拒绝将表演归类为一种拖拉,同时提升其“文化”地位和“酷儿”与“文化”之间的滑脱之间的紧张关系很感兴趣。我认为nachaniya舞者的形象是Anjali Arondekar所说的一个“普通盈余”的场所,而不是一个奇怪的例外。通过对这张酷儿档案照片的阅读,我认为对丢失或缺失的不稳定叙述饱和了对酷儿契约档案的方法,以表明nachaniya是一个有用的范式,可以理论化印度-牙买加档案和契约酷儿之间的联系,这种联系被理论化为“什么也看不见”。

Translating the untranslatable 翻译不可翻译的东西
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.13169/jofstudindentleg.3.1.0087
Nancy Naomi Carlson
In coining the term ‘Coolitude’ to re-imagine and re-vision the indenture experience, Khal Torabully has created a new identity and language, based on the strength and resiliency garnered through the rich intercultural exchanges among indentured workers. The central image in Khal’s seminal work, Cargo Hold of Stars: Coolitude, is a ship’s cargo hold from where its occupants – no matter their country of origin, language, religion, gender, caste or shade of skin – could still look up and see the stars. Believing that ordinary language was not capable of representing the myriad diverse voices of indenture, Khal’s ‘poetics of Coolitude’ or ‘corallian poetics’ intersperses French with Mauritian Creole, Hindi, mariner’s language, Bhojpuri, Urdu and neologisms, among other lexicons. To bring the music of this unique language into English, without sacrificing significant meaning, the translator employed a sound mapping technique to identify the salient patterns of assonance, alliteration, rhythm and silence that characterized each poem, performing a kind of ‘linguistic acrobatics’.
在创造“Coolitude”一词以重新想象和重新审视契约经历的过程中,托拉布利卡奥创造了一种新的身份和语言,其基础是通过契约工人之间丰富的跨文化交流获得的力量和弹性。卡奥的开创性作品《星星的货舱:凉爽》的中心形象是一艘船的货舱,在那里,无论他们的原籍国、语言、宗教、性别、种姓或肤色如何,乘客仍然可以抬头看到星星。卡奥认为普通语言无法代表契约的无数不同声音,他的“Coolitude诗学”或“corallian诗学”将法语与毛里求斯克里奥尔语、印地语、水手语、博杰普里语、乌尔都语和新词以及其他词汇穿插在一起。为了在不牺牲重要意义的情况下将这种独特语言的音乐带入英语,译者采用了一种声音映射技术来识别每首诗特征的辅音、头韵、节奏和沉默的显著模式,表演一种“语言杂技”。

From Calcutta to Kingston 从加尔各答到金斯顿
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.13169/jofstudindentleg.3.1.0154
Suzanne Persard
‘From Calcutta to Kingston: A cartography of Coolitude’ meditates on the ancestral inheritance of the indentured Indian diaspora through coordinates mapping time and space, tasks historically completed by imperial powers upon seizing colonial lands. In this poetic-prose, coordinates anchor an origin – yet sugarcane becomes a new set of coordinates, following the call to unmoor the geographical fixity of origins invoked by Khal Torabully in his theorizing of Coolitude. This specific piece conjures the coordinates of indentured Indian descent among Indo-Jamaicans, a diaspora that has remained eclipsed within histories of Indian indentureship. Mapping the coordinates of places like Ashoka Road and Cockburn Pen in Kingston, Jamaica – significant sites of the indentured Indian diaspora – to the coordinates of the indentured Indian diaspora in New York City, the piece engages in its own kind of map-making: one that threads the echoes of indenture alongside its geographical uprooting, yet an uprooting that has generated a new form of survival among descendants of the indentured.
“从加尔各答到金斯顿:一幅Coolitude的地图”通过坐标绘制时间和空间来思考契约印度侨民的祖先遗产,这些任务在历史上是由帝国主义列强在夺取殖民土地时完成的。在这篇诗意的散文中,坐标锚定了一个原点——然而甘蔗成为了一组新的坐标,这是托拉布利卡奥在他的Coolitude理论中对原点的地理固定性的呼吁。这个特殊的作品让人联想到印度-牙买加人之间契约印度后裔的坐标,这是一个在印度契约历史中仍然黯然失色的侨民。将牙买加金斯敦的Ashoka Road和Cockburn Pen等地的坐标——契约印度侨民的重要地点——映射到纽约市契约印度侨民的坐标,这幅作品以自己的方式绘制地图:它将契约的回声与地理上的连根拔起联系在一起,然而连根拔起却在契约的后代中产生了一种新的生存形式。
