This book argues for an intersectional approach to understanding \u003ci\u003ejanana\u003c\/i\u003e life worlds and situates \u003ci\u003ejanana\u003c\/i\u003e subjectivity in dialogue with social, cultural, linguistic, and legal happenings. In engaging with the full complexity of \u003ci\u003ejanana\u003c\/i\u003e identities and experience, Ila Nagar calls for a reassessment of gender categories and a new understanding of power and sexuality amidst emerging Indian modernities. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDerived from ethnographic research conducted over a period of twelve years, this book also reflects on the interaction between social actors and researchers, and critically examines the use of ethnography as a method in sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology. It will be of interest to scholars from Anthropology, Asian Studies, Gender \u0026amp; Sexuality Studies, and Linguistics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45589189558510,"sku":"9780367777265","price":67.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/being-janana","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
