Description
What politics of location animates transnational enquiry? What theoretical and methodological tools might an anthropology of transnationalism offer debates about gender and neoliberalism? Through an exploration of how the “Kerala Model of Development”, a consolidated discourse about gender and development within a “model” development state in India, entered a “global” arena starting in the 1970s, this presentation will draw out questions of theory and method that animate transnational frames of analysis.
