Social Sciences - Anthropology / sinopse de livro
Portuguese term or phrase: seu diferencial
Entender o papel dessas mirações, mas ultrapassando o tradicional debate sobre a ação da substância: esta é a proposta do livro. Seu diferencial é compreender as mirações a partir do diálogo entre múltiplos saberes, como antropologia, psicologia, filosofia da mente, estudos da consciência, química, neurofisiologia e espiritualidade.

The author analyses the reasons and extent to which boundaries of class, religion and caste are maintained, transgressed, and negotiated in everyday life. The work seeks to understand why upper-caste Hindus in Kanpur changed their political attention from Muslims to Dalits towards the mid-1990s and whether the two were considered different or similar ‘kinds’ of Others.
