Anotace
This book offers a fresh perspective on the social and cultural laboratories that were Jesuit missions in pre-colonial South India. Confronted with social and cultural idioms that appeared to them as both strange and familiar, Jesuit missionaries embarked on a titanic, utopian, and somewhat naive project of cultural translation, social engineering and ethnographic description. Before they could effectively convert and establish spiritual and political authority over souls and bodies, they had to ascertain that they possessed the right knowledge of Indian culture. By focusing on a dispute between two missionaries in Madurai in the beginning of the 17th century, this book chronicles the first efforts at explaining the origin, structure and nature of local religious practices.
