Kipling, Kim, and Anthropology

Kipling, Kim, anthropology generally believe that relatively new anthropology and ethnology seems to support and support the colonial project. As an objective objective, anthropological discourse is often used to validate and prove race, class, power theory. So-called factual knowledge is a means of supporting or creating racial stereotypes. The spirit of Western rationalism combines with Orientalism and Hindu pseudo-scientific discourse to create a knowledge system that can be used as a means to acquire or maintain power.

Kim Jong Il of Kipling is a novel about a young European boy in India, Kim Jong Il traveled with Tibetan lamas and found a beautiful river. Kim is also a spy of UK secret service, using manipulating the language to get into and out of his tanned skin and native characters. In his introduction to the novel, Edward Said pointed out that Kipling used "dominant perspective" to look at British rule, even though it was natural, informative and appointed. From this point of view, Kipling can not see the big change in India created by imperialism. In Kim, Kipling depicts that India is still full of ancient customs and traditions. However, when Kim Jong Il wrote in 1901, India was completely changed by British "reform", and the Indian rebellion of 1857 occurred.

I hope that there is a wonderful revelation in these works. I may have found it. This book is very difficult for me to read. I do not know if this is my age or not a classical reading experience. Also, I thought it was difficult to report on this set of reading books, but the last time I reported was Laura Ingall's prairie hut.
