| Zusammenfassung: | This volume of Religion and Society offers a personal portrait from a self-described shy academic, who also happens to be an intellectually powerful scholar of South Asia - Ann Grodzins Gold. Anthropologists of religion and South Asia know Gold's work to portray an astonishingly subtle evocation of the realities of women's lives, families' lives, village lives, and everyday existence. Her respondents in this volume's portrait section all note their admiration for the impact of her work, illustrating further Gold's capacity to write Rajasthan into the anthropological canon, along with her poignant reflections on the nature of fieldwork, the ways in which texts and people speak to one another, and the nature of religion as lived on the ground, particularly in rural India. Well-known through her ethnographic accounts of rural India, Gold has often incorporated stories about her own experiences into her powerful, larger narratives about Rajasthan, but this volume is the first time we read of her own personal history as the basis from which she learned to observe, research, and write about religion. |
