By illustrating the exchange and consumption of clothing, the book demonstrates that the practices of wearing and gifting clothes materialize and visualize relationships. The significant outward migration of Guyanese to North America has resulted in substantial international gift exchange and transnational rituals. Applying the concept of translocality, this book demonstrates that different localities continue to influence transnational networks and socio-cultural practices. It provides a study of migration that emphasizes various aspects of material and visual closeness, conceptualizing the notion of touch. | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | Indo-Guyanese culture; Material culture; ethnography; migration; family; community; translocality; Indian w | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-56541-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-56541-9 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2016 |
