Changing patterns of stylistic diversity in Blackfoot biographic art across the nineteenth century

In this article we use new, unique data on population composition and socio-economic structure for the c. 670 municipalities of the Belgian provinces of East Flanders, West Flanders and Antwerp in 1796, 1815 and 1846, in order to gain insight into the changing patterns of local migration intensity from the late eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Although so-called micro-mobility is often disregarded in migration studies, this article argues that a spatial and diachronic analysis of local migration rates provides insight into the dynamics of social and economic change in relation to migration behaviour. The data show that the proportion of non-native residents varied strongly in accordance with different regional economies at the end of the eighteenth century, but that spatial variation declined markedly as overall migration rates converged on a higher average level by the mid-nineteenth century – leading to a re-interpretation of the mobility transition hypothesis.

This article is part of Darakhshan Khan’s larger body of work on womenin the Tablīghī Jamā‘at, who, as she argues persuasively, have not been giventhe scholarly attention they deserve (barring a few notable exceptions,among them Metcalf 2000). Khan observes that the reasons for this rangefrom the fact that the public image of the Tablīghī Jamā‘at is that of itinerantmales, not females, and that gender segregation in South Asian Muslimcommunities makes women invisible to male scholars. Moreover, in today’spost-9/11 world the Tablīghī Jamā‘at is often viewed through the lens ofcounter-terrorist concerns.Khan’s article revolves around several key themes: the geographicalmobility of Muslim bureaucrats in late nineteenth-century British India;changes in the structure of the family; changing patterns of religious leadershipin British India, resulting in part from the creation of seminaries suchas the Dār al-‘Ulūm, Deoband; and the incorporation of Muslim womenin religious leadership roles in Tablīghī networks from the mid-twentiethcentury onward. The article seems to fall into two distinct parts. The firsthalf deals with Muslim men from ashraf families working in British Indiangovernment jobs in the late nineteenth century who moved constantly(with their wives and children) in response to bureaucratic postings, livingwesternized lives at the margins of highly stratified British Indian socialnetworks. Drawing on sources ranging from Urdu literature to biographies,Khan shows how isolating this was for the wives and sometimes professionallydisappointing for the husbands. The second half of the article dealswith Muslim religious elites and their more limited geographical travelsin British India in pursuit of religious knowledge, often coinciding with ...
