- W2891262003 abstract "This article sets out to undo colonial constructions of the ‘madwoman’ in Fiji during theindenture period. It will critique how lunacy, or more specifically the condition of dementia, wassometimes presented as the colonial response to ‘uselessness’ in the sugarcane plantations. Whenarchival fragments relating to an indentured woman named Dhurma, are retrieved and situatedwithin a historical context they demonstrate how unproductivity was perceived as a signifier of an‘unsound mind’ because it conflicted with the utilitarian logic of universal and individualeconomic advancement espoused by the British colonial administration. The article will alsopresent brief accounts of other indentured women who were diagnosed with ‘dementia’ to illustratehow the ‘useless madwoman’ phenomena was not an isolated one. If the allegations of dementiapresented here are reassessed in light of definitions of lunacy including the usage of this term inThe English Lunacy Act of 1838, it may be possible to read against the dominant (male) voice inthe asylum records and thus deconstruct murky projections of madness vis-a-vis colonialism." @default.
