"Recently anthropology has turned to accounts of persons-in-history/ history-in-persons, focusing on how individuals and groups as agents both fashion and are fashioned by social, political and cultural discourses and practices. In this approach, power, agency and history are made explicit as individuals and groups work to constitute themselves in relation to others and within and against sociopolitical and historical contexts. Contributors to this volume extend this emphasis, drawing upon their ethnographic research in Nepal to examine closely how selves, identities and experience are produced in dialogical relationships through time in a multi-ethnic nation-state and within a discourse of nationalism. Various authors explore how people - positioned by gender, ethnicity and locale - use cultural genres to produce aspects of identities and experiences; they examine how subjectivities, agencies and cultural worlds co-develop and are shaped through engagement with cultural forms; and they portray the appropriation of multiple voices for self and group formation. As such, this collection offers a richly textured and complex accounting of the mutual constitution of selves and society" - publisher's description.
