Sobre este artículo
New York.: Oxford University Press.. 2000.. Contents, conclusion, notes, references, index, 241pp., an excellent copy in paperback. "In this study of South Indian village Hinduism, Nabokov documents and analyzes rituals performed by what she calls "congregations of suffering" and "congregations of kinship." She looks at the expertise, motivation and predilection of those who particiapte in these rituals and attempts to explain their transformations. Her comprehensive and original analysis show how the Tamil rituals reframe personal and interpersonal identitites both in this world and in the hereafter." (Publisher's description). .
