This book re-examines some of the theoretical debates centring on culture and its manifestations in the material world; that is also perceived as gendered. The papers presented here examine the variety of manifestations of the concepts of materialism and take a critical look at the notion of an object, showing that object is a manifestation and a construct, both symbolic and rooted in praxis. The body itself, as well as various acts and actions songs, dance and folklore have their own rationale of being material and gendered. The material can form a signifier for negotiation of space and contestation of authority as well as a tool to contest social inequality.The papers describe different cultures, historical contexts and cover a wide range of what is meant by material, culture and gender. The range of topics is wide from devdasis to school textbooks, from folk songs, crafts, fashion and dance to prehistoric finds and museums. The approaches are mostly phenomenological, historical and symbolic.The book will be of immense interest to scholars and students of gender, anthropology, sociology, museum studies and cultural studies. It may also engage the attention of the historians, the political scientists and prove interesting to the lay reader as well. (jacket).

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. Realizing the importance of intangible cultural heritages of India and their documentation, Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Manav Sangrahalaya has undertaken the task of preparing selective bibliographies on various aspects of intangible cultural heritages to facilitate scholars and researchers in their pursuit of knowledge. It is proposed to be a multivolume exercise due to enormous literature available on the subject. Volume II incorporates ethnomedical practices in India. Subsequent volumes on other aspects of intangible cultural heritage of India would follow these volumes soon.There was a time in the past, when it was possible to a scholar to keep himself up to date and well informed on current literature in his field of interest.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - K.S. Singh was a versatile scholar apart from being an administrator and an ardent practitioner of historical ethnography. In course of his long tenure of explorations on tribal matters, spanning over four decades, Dr. Singh penned many essays on tribal movements, tribal peasant interactions, tribal customary law, tribal economy and so on. Much to the chagrin of historians and anthropologists, he had adopted a combined methodology of historical research and anthropological fieldwork in making his points before the readers and decision makers. The present volume presents a selection of those landmark essays penned by Dr. Singh on tribal movements in India.
