Introduction: Heritage and Religion in South Asia and its Diasporas

Frictions, entanglements and reconfigurations: Religion and heritage in global South Asia
This article introduces the thematic section Heritage and Religion in South Asia and its Diasporas and proposes a new framework for analysing the relationship between religion and heritage. While previous scholarship has often approached this nexus in terms of similarities or conflicts, the article argues that global South Asia offers a productive ground for rethinking the complex ways in which religion and heritage interact and shape each other …
Who Does What? The Distribution of Housework and Childcare in Portuguese Families
An increasing number of studies have sought to explore the gender gap in the distribution of family responsibilities. While men and women have become more similar in their egalitarian views and involvement toward paid work and family responsibilities, mothers continue to bear the brunt of housework and caregiving responsibilities. The present study explored the allocation of family work among Portuguese couples and the social–psychological charac…

Mother Mary in the Hindu Pantheon Among Portuguese Gujarati Families
The South Asian diaspora in Portugal is diverse in nationalities and religious practices. The most prominent population is the Hindu-Gujarati, living in Portugal since the late 1970s. This migration was boosted by the decolonization of a former Portuguese colony, Mozambique, to where Indians had migrated from India. Anchored in long-term fieldwork, this chapter concentrates on Hindu practices that incorporate elements of Portuguese Catholicism, s…

Bollywood in Portugal: Watching and dancing practices in the construction of alternative cultural identities
The impact of Bollywood cinema among Portuguese viewers is an unknown reality in the surrounding society. Usually associated to the communities of Indian origin, the consumption of this kind of cinema also occurs among people from various sectors of the Portuguese population that although not related to each other, have in common the habit of watching Indian films in private, away from the suspicious and stereotyped looks from their relatives and…
Introduction: Representations of India at home and abroad
This dossier makes an original contribution to the semantic analysis of the representations on India.

The five articles it comprises examine three dimensions of representations about India. One concerns the connection between tourism and …

A partir de Diu: Diáspora hindu e género em Portugal

A tendência globalizante das sociedades contemporâneas conduziu à inversão das antigas rotas dos impérios coloniais europeus e em Portugal, encontra-se actualmente uma das maiores comunidades hindus da Europa. Este grupo, originário do Gujarate (Índia), possui uma experiência passada de emigração para Moçambique, uma das antiga…
Hindu Transnational Families: Transformation and Continuity in Diaspora Families
Transnational contexts enable the emergence of new forms of family organization expressed through different family configurations, thus reshaping gender roles within the family. Therefore, former norms related to daily family and social relations traditionally conditioned by gender and age, become an object of transformation. This paper analyzes the Hindu-Gujarati transnationality through two perspectives: one that understands family transformati…
Religion and gender: The Hindu diaspora in Portugal
As perpetuators of what is considered traditional knowledge, Hindu women in Portugal are assigned a new status through religion, thus replacing the male pujari. This article focuses on the Hindu diaspora in Portugal, and specifically on the role played by women in the construction of gender and religious identities, who, entrusted with new social and ritual responsibilities, contribute towards the cultural replication of their traditional communi…
