1. T. R. Metcalf, Ideologies of the Raj, (Cambridge 1995) 29, argues that India was a laboratory for the creation of the liberal administrative state in the mid-nineteenth century. For a discussion of Dutch colonialism as an experiment in modernity see, A. L. Stoler, Race and the Education of Desire, (Durham 1995) 15. For the French case see, P. Rabinow, French Modern: Norms and Forms of the Social Environment, (London 1989).
2. Here, I draw language and inspiration from Bruno Latour and actor-network theory. See, B. Latour, Science in Action: How to Follow Scientists and Engineers (Cambridge, MA 1987); Idem., We Have Never Been Modern (Hemel Hempstead 1993); J. Murdoch, Towards a geography of heterogeneous associations, Progress in Human Geography21 (1997) 321–337; J. Law and J. Hassard, Actor-Network Theory and After (Oxford 1999). While the focus of this paper is the coming together of heterogeneous human systems, in the larger research project of which this paper is a part I bring together a wider range of human and non-human associations. I will, however, be using this language of the hybridity of nature and culture with some trepidation and care to avoid the implied complicity in using language with which the British colonisers felt comfortable. Popular nineteenth-century concepts of race entailed the ambiguous conception of humanity and civilisation with some races seen as not fully human. The power to define what was human was seen as the coloniser's prerogative. The assertion of equality among humans based on a clear nature/culture dualism is an achievement to be rejected only with extreme caution. Also see R. Young, Colonial Desire: Hybridity in Theory, Culture and Race (London 1995) for his different but related concerns about the use of the concept of cultural hybridity which he sees as possibly carrying some unwanted baggage from its “Victorian extreme right” connections.
