This essay examines debates about carrion eating in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century India. Although proscriptions against carrion eating among the noncaste Hindus were entangled in Indian anticolonial, nationalist, and cow-protection movements, “Gut Ecology” places the subject in the material contexts of bacteriology, the study of zoonotic disease, and the emergence of meat science. The essay focuses on an exchange of letters (1933) between M. K. Gandhi and Dr. G. V. Deshmukh, the first president of the Indian Medical Association, in order to explore historical and theoretical relationships among affective, political, and scientific culture.

肠道生态学:甘地印度的肉类科学、现代性和腐肉厌恶

本文考察了 19 世纪末和 20 世纪初印度关于吃腐肉的争论。尽管禁止非种姓印度教徒吃腐肉的禁令与印度的反殖民主义、民族主义和保护奶牛运动有关,但“肠道生态学”将这一主题置于细菌学、人畜共患病研究和肉类科学的出现的物质背景中。这篇文章的重点是 MK Gandhi 和印度医学会第一任主席 GV Deshmukh 博士之间的书信往来(1933 年),以探讨情感、政治和科学文化之间的历史和理论关系。
