Description
Book SynopsisIn sociology and social anthropology, the everyday that is, the continuing, the ordinary and the event the momentary and the extraordinary appear to share a bond. This volume explores the complex and crucial relationship that exists between the event and the everyday as a methodological perspective, and highlights their close ties and significance in capturing social realities. The contributors study contexts that are diverse and empirically rich: A media comedic event, Kashmir wracked by conflict and natural calamity, where both instances highlight the relationship between the extraordinary and everyday life; The event of Tibetan exile, and how the memory of this rupture plays out in the lives of later generations.
