Event Description : The School of Arts and Aesthetics cordially invites you to 'Aesthetics and the Aerial View' a lecture by Vazira Fazila-Yacoobali Zamindar Associate Professor, Department of History, Brown University, Rhode Island, USA.
As the Royal Air Force was deployed to the colonies at the end of the First World War, it was particularly significant for the northwest frontier of British India. This talk will explore the relationship between archaeology, photography and war with the rise of the aerial view, focusing in particular on the role of Aurel Stein.

She is interested in cross-border and interdisciplinary histories for rethinking a divided South Asia, as well as the politics of violence and its impact on history-writing itself. Her first book, The Long Partition and the Making of Modern South Asia: Refugees, Boundaries, Histories, was published by Columbia University Press in 2007, and Indian and Pakistani editions of the book came out in 2008. At present she is working on a second book on the history of archaeology and war on the northwest frontier of British India, on the borderlands with Afghanistan.
