Sharing food, eating salt, breaking bread, raising a toast, picnics in the wild, formal dinners all have certain ideological, political and social significances. Some foods are taboo, whereas others endow the eater with purity. The means of preparing or processing food in different cultures each symbolise something. The Writer s Feast is a collection of essays that discuss the various symbolic representations associated with food. The essays in this volume show how food is a system of signs through which human societies give meanings to the material world they inhabit. The book is divided into four thematic sections. The first section eating cultures looks at social practices and systems relating to food and its consumption. The second section gendering food, focuses on the gender implications of cooking and serving food. In the third section, migrancy, diaspora and the cosmopolitan gourmet, the overwhelming importance of the symbolic function of food is discussed in immigrant narratives, as cuisine comes to be associated with the lost or abandoned homeland of the refugee or migrant. The last section of this book, the body and its limits, looks into the implications of excessive appetites on the human body and what drives them. It also speaks of healthy eating practices. By way of contrast, it also examines what happens to human beings, their bodies when driven to the limit by extreme physical conditions or by famine and want. The Contributors featuring in this book are scholars from all over the world.

Reading theory backwards: a worm s eye view/Maitrayee Chaudhuri. Notes on the contributors. Index. We live in times where theory is often understood as irrelevant in the real world. It appears to have no practical results. This has been further complicated in a post-fact world, where our identities and perception have become the final judges of truth. Sociology/social anthropology, in contrast, rests on a fundamental distinction between commonsense and theoretically informed knowledge. It teaches us to get rid of perceptions and alerts us to go beyond taken-for-granted ideas. The paradox is that although theory is taught as a mandatory paper in sociology, it is either reduced to a topic in the syllabi or used as ceremonial citations. Emphasising that theories emerge in specific historical contexts and are embedded in economic, political, social, cultural, institutional and intellectual processes, this volume takes a new approach by highlighting the sociological paths through which theories travel and are adopted by institutions in different parts of the country. The contributors explore: the search for an indigenous theory within sociology in India; critically examine the construction of the local and the postcolonial ; theorise the nation and nationalism , caste and modernity, industrial and media sociology; study the disconnect between theory taught within the classroom and theory practised in the world outside.

This book aims to provide a comprehensive understanding about the post-colonial research trends on the Idu Mishmi community of Arunachal Pradesh, which was considered as an important tribe since the pre-colonial and colonial days. It takes into account the historicity of the tribe and brings into light the change and continuity in the context of emerging realities of a bordering state. It takes stock of some ground realities pertaining to issues of daily life to sociocultural aspects to the issues of resource mobilization. In exploring these issues and concerns confronting the Idu Mishmis, the challenge has been taken up by the current generation scholars having different academic backgrounds cutting across the disciplinary boundaries. This book is likely to cater the needs of students, researchers, academicians, administrators and policymakers alike, in understanding the potentials and the contemporary issues faced by the smaller tribes in general and the Idu Mishmis in particular. It may be noteworthy to mention that Idu Mishmis who are at the centre of discussion in this book have inhabited the eastern-most part of India for centuries but very little has been known and written about them.

Even when the entire world has been increasingly shrinking into a global village, particularly since the start of the new millennium and the people of different cultures and races encountering each other by all means of channels and communications, the border lines of cultural identities seem to be assuming harder and rigid forms. In a world of multicultural contexts, international collaborations and multilateral political negotiations, the reality presents a paradox of sorts, raising newer challenges and requiring mutual understandings for the peaceful co-existence of human society. Such a situation demands a deeper knowledge about our cultural neighbours and a greater appreciation of the cultural specificities of each other. The present volume is a small effort in this direction in capturing the cultural contours of different societies, and identifying the challenges of the contemporary and multicultural society for developing appropriate responses. As reflected in the title of the volume, the papers presented here highlight and discuss the different dimensions and aspects of culture and cultural identities of both the indigenous and the mai.

It has been frequently reported by the medical practitioners and public health workers that very often people do not utilize the medical and preventive facilities available to them. Social and economic factors are generally accepted as highly important in the mu…ltiple causation of disease. Therefore, health workers must come to understand such factors if they are to deal effectively in both primary prevention and cure of disease and other health disorders. Urbanization and changing environmental situations have also created various health problems. Again, in the contemporary world, one cannot deny the various health hazards associated with different jobs. These are the emerging health challenges based on changing socio-cultural and economic situation. One will have to address and examine some of these new health problems. Besides this, knowledge and documentation of traditional medicine is also equally important. Many such issues have been examined in the present volume. These well-researched papers cover wide range of issues related to health. There are three sections in the present volume. Section I deals with Health Issues and Human Rights . Section II is on Occupation and Health: The Challenges and the last section is on Changing Health Scenario: Opportunities and Challenges . It is expected that the findings of these research papers would create interest among health administrators and scholars/researchers of anthropology, sociology and medical science.

Shyam Benegal in Conversation/Anuradha Dingwaney Needham. Index. Shyam Benegal, a trailblazing auteur who successfully redefined the contours of non-commercial Hindi language cinema, is widely perceived as one of the most influential Indian filmmakers. And yet, his voluminous body of work remains relatively under-studied in contemporary film scholarship. To help fill this critical lacuna, ReFocus: The Films of Shyam Benegal undertakes a closer look at Benegal s films and shows how the auteur, over the course of his forty-year career, used cinema as a potent medium to narrate the story of a nation in continuous transition. The book attempts to be as representative as possible in its scope by choosing to examine his major as well as his minor cinematic ventures. The thirteen essays in this volume explore how Benegal s films articulate his concerns about caste, class, gender, religion, and other allied social, economic, and political problems characterizing the Indian subcontinent. They offer nuanced critiques of the way Benegal s parallel cinema upholds the value of meaningful cinema as a means to create social awareness in the minds of the audience. This collection also includes a full-length interview with Shyam Benegal, which investigates his perspectives on the art of film-making and provides an analysis of his own films. This book will interest scholars and academics studying Indian cinema, Bollywood cinema, subaltern studies, media studies, gender politics, adaptation and postcolonial studies.

This volume highlights the multiplicity of cultural traditions that are specific to various tribes inhabiting sixteen districts of Nagaland, since their experiences of modernity and cultural contact with 'others' have been diverse. The contributors have mainly focussed on the cultural heritage of the majority Naga tribes, but other tribes like the Kukis and Kacharis are part and parcel of the cultural melting pot of Nagaland, and this volume in a way underscores the cultural exchange and interactions.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Sikkim has been a region of anthropological interest since the 1930s when Geoffrey Gorer and John Morris did their fieldwork among the Lepchas of Dzongu, north Sikkim. While it found mention in various writings of travellers and administrators during the British period, there is a dearth o…f literature even today on the rich heritage of Sikkim. This collection of twenty-five essays presented first at the international conference on Cultural Heritage of Sikkim, organized by the Department of Anthropology, Sikkim University, Gangtok goes a long way in breaching this gap. The book will be of immense interest to scholars and students of Anthropology, Sociology and Cultural Studies and will lead to new research on the people and the places of Sikkim and India's North-East.
