将印度女性的家庭神龛传统视为生育劳动的价值

English | 2024 | ISBN: 978-3-031-68509-5 | 241 pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 9 MB

Historically in middle-class Bengali Hindu households it has been the matriarch’s responsibility to arrange and maintain the domestic shrine and to perform daily rituals of deity worship and caretaking—termed in this book as domestic shrine traditions. These traditions are often assimilated with the other domestic caretaking labor women are expected to complete for their families.

Utilizing a years-long ethnography with Bengali American Hindu women, and drawing from Marxist feminist Social Reproduction Theory, this book argues that domestic shrine traditions are reproductive labor that is essential to the transnational and transgenerational sustenance of Hindu traditions and subjectivities. As the first monograph focused on Hindu women’s domestic shrine traditions in the United States, this book illuminates both the value of these traditions for the women who maintain them, and how these traditions connect immigrant Hindus to family and ethno-religious identity in ways unmatched by the public Hindu temple or organization.


历史上,中产阶级孟加拉印度教家庭中,母系长辈负责安排和维持家庭神龛,并承担日常的神祇崇拜及照顾工作——本书称为家庭神龛传统。这些传统常常与女性为了家人需要完成的其他家务劳动相融合。 利用了对孟加拉裔美国印度妇女长达数年的田野调查资料,并结合马克思主义女性主义再生产理论,这本书认为家庭神龛传统是有助于维系跨国和跨代印度教传统及主体性的一种再生产劳作。作为第一部专注于在美国境内印度妇女的家庭神龛传统的著作,本书揭示了这些传统对于维持维护它们的女性来说所具有的价值,以及这些传统如何将移民印度教徒与家庭和民族宗教身份联系在一起,这在公共印度教寺庙或组织中是无法实现的。
