Locating Maldivian Women’s Mosques in Global Discourses
Perspectives from the Field
This article is based on a series of interviews with a group of female Islamic scholars-alima-in Leh, Ladakh, who were the first four women from the region to receive a religious education in a formal madrassa (religious school). The women interviewed attended Jamiatus Salehat, a Deobandi religious boarding school located in Malageon Maharashtra (India), in the late 1980s. They graduated in 1991, returning to Ladakh to teach religion in the area.…

Sites of Asian Interaction
A focus on the sites of Asian interaction enables this volume to shed new light on the growing field of diaspora studies. Research on Asia's many diasporas has enriched the older literature on migration to illuminate the links of kinship, affect, trade, and information that connect locations across Asia, and beyond. But where many recent works on particular diasporas have tended to look inwards - at how distinctive diasporic cultures maintained a…

The traders' interactions with specific commodities prompted them to traverse cultural boundaries and engage with new id…

Through this case study, we can examine how children are crafted into a child public that is constituted by global development ideologies and moulded by local social structures. CCVD tasks can be recognised as a form of ‘work’, with specific …
The Seductive Gaze Through the Gold Filter
Cultural representation begins before image production as visual ethnographers make equipment purchasing decisions. In this article I examine the choices made at this stage in relation to one particular category of equipment and technology choices, color filters. I explore ideas about their use and their image manipulation potential in comparison with other common visual technologies. These ideas form the basis for a recommendation toward develop…
