It specifically examines Patrick Russell’s scientific engagement with the subcontinental snakes (a “new” branch of natural history of snakes fashioned by him) and the nature of “local” involvements in his undertaking. While considering the crucial role of colonial natural history in knowing and making visible the “terror” of Indian snakes to manage the snakebite-laden landscape, this paper elucidates how both the Western inferiorisation of non-Western perspective and the non-European indifference towards the European planetary vision disrupted the heterogeneous network of “knowledge making” in late eighteenth-century British India. Thus, this paper questions the recent historiography that projected a seamless “collaboration” or “hybridisation” in the formation of scientific knowledge across the globalised space of empire.","PeriodicalId":54710,"journal":{"name":"Nuncius-Journal of the History of Science","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87410528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The portrait—recently acquired by Rijksmuseum Boerhaave—appears to originate from the collection of the Dutch naturalist and physical anthropologist Jan van der Hoeven (1801–1868) the author of one of the fist books on the anthropology of African people to be published in the Netherlands (1842). I will show the portrait was part of a broader anthropological collection, which—apart from a large number of “national skulls”—included “characteristic portraits” of various human races, including Africans. I describe what role the portrait played in Van der Hoeven’s collection and how it reveals deeply held convictions of Van der Hoeven and contemporaries about the fundamental “otherness” of the African race.","PeriodicalId":54710,"journal":{"name":"Nuncius-Journal of the History of Science","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73719590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
