Bringing together contributions by art and architecture historians, artists, architects, geographers, maritime historians, and environmental activists from India, Europe, and the United States, the volume situates water in an expansive relational domain. It covers disciplines as diverse as literary studies, environmental humanities, sustainable design, urban planning, and media studies. The chapters explore the ways in which material cultures of water generate technological and aesthetic acts of envisioning geographies and make an intervention within political, developmental, and cultural discourses. A critical interjection in the sociologies of water in the subcontinent, the book brings art history into conversation with current debates on climate change, and examines the artistic, architectural, engineering, religious, scientific, and environmental facets"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Preface / by Monica Juneja -- Introduction: The materiality of liquescence / Sugata Ray and Venugopal Maddipati -- The shape of Babur's Lake : architecture and water in the central Indian frontier / Tamara I.
