Transcultural Negotiations of Gender probes into how gender is
negotiated along the two axes of 'belonging' and 'longing'- the
twin desires of being located within a cultural milieu, while
yearning for either what has passed by or what is yet to come. It
also probes into the category of 'transculturality' itself, by
examining how not only does it pertain to the coming together of
cultures from diverse spatial locations, but how shifts over time
and changing performative modes and technological means of
articulation, within what may be presumed to be the same culture,
can also lead to the 'transcultural'. The volume comprises four
sections. Part I, '(Be)longing in Time', examines negotiation of
gender through transcultural acts of myths, rituals and religious
practices being revised and revisited over time. Part II,
'(Be)longing in Space', studies how gender is renegotiated when
people from different spaces interact, as also when public spaces
and domains themselves become sites of such negotiations. In Part
III, 'Performing (Be)longing', such transcultural negotiations are
located in the context of changing modes of performance,
considering particularly that gender itself is performative. The
final section, 'Modernity, Technology and (Be)longing', traces how
gender becomes transculturally negotiated in a space like India,
with the advent of modernity and its companion technology.
