内容説明・目次

内容説明

Originally published as a hardback in 1982 by Harvard University Press, the Paperback edition has a new introduction which brings the reader up-to-date with new research done in these fields. Using rich ethnographic detail Concepts of Person looks at the extent to which new models of kinship, caste and marriage translate into regional and Indian Models. The contributors, all distinguished Scholars of South Asia, tackle different geographical areas and such diverse topics as hierarchy, forms of address, ritual, household and widowhood. Central to each chapter is a focus on the idea of the person in social relaitons. This book promises to play a central role in our future understanding of kinship, the possibilities for cross-cultural comparison, and ways of looking at social change.
