Description “If the emergence of science in the late 19th century as a sign of Western power constituted the `native' as an object of scientific discourse, the enactment of this process displaced the representations--Western science versus `native superstition'--of colonial domination. In this essay, I explore such displacements in British India, tracing how the deployment of science to appropriate (normalize, make appropriate) India also produced `inappropriate' transformations. I examine these `inappropriate' transformations in the functioning of museums and exhibitions as sites for representing science in British India during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, arguing that the staging of science also enacted other performances.”
