- Double-weighted statement
- This book is the result of long-term ethnographic fieldwork in India conducted by both co-authors. In addition to participant observation and interviews, the empirical foundation of the book also entails analysis of historical materials, newspaper articles, Facebook entries, exhibition visitor-book entries, and related poetry. These multiple forms of data have allowed the authors to demonstrate how political life in India has been shaped through the use of blood and through contestations about blood.

- Additional information
- Chapter two contains elements (roughly 3 pages) of Copeman (2013), ‘The Art of Bleeding’, but substantially reframed and with a wholly new argument – now concerning Hindu nationalism (previously it concerned memorialisation). Chapter three contains elements (roughly 4 pages) of Copeman (2013), ‘Portraits of Substance’, but substantially reframed and with a wholly new argument – now concerning political substances and corruption (previously it concerned the technical production of art). Copeman ‘The Art of Bleeding’ was submitted to REF2014.
