The volume revolves around the theme 'inclusive oppositions' in
social sciences that address the issue of making of distinctions
and create artificial dichotomies and dualistic view of society. It
is set against the currents of systematic reduction of
anthropodiversity and psychodiversity, which appears as a pathology
of the current neo-liberalist and colonialist model of development.
The volume is an attempt to overcome the colonial tendencies and
forces to 'standardize' and 'homogenize' various categories and
institutions in society by establishing structural relationality
and intersectionality between the parts of the whole ecosystem
where in the human and non-human intersect and interact. The volume
brings together a unique collaboration in the field of Cultural
Psychology and offers the intellectual tools to grasp how a
syncretic understanding of Identity and Culture unfolds,
particularly in the key domain of gender. The chapters and
commentaries uncover cultural dynamics and identity formation from
a specific location, the region of Kerala in south-western India.
The chapters and commentaries in this volume illustrates that
Kerala is a cultural micro-cosmos, in which gender, identity,
religion, ethnicity, caste, global market and tradition intersect
to create complex and multiple subjects that do not fit in binary
categorizations. The compiled volume will be of great value to
scholars, researchers and academicians in Social Sciences,
particularly Cultural Psychology, Social Psychology, Sociology,
Social Work, Political Science, Philosophy, Anthropology and
Economics
