| Σύνοψη: | This book is based on a study of Bhaktapur, a Newar city in Nepal, during the years 1973 to 1976, and it is the first of two projected volumes. My central interest has been in the reciprocal relations of the public life of communities and the private worlds of their members. I began working in Bhaktapur after studies in two small Tahitian-speaking communities in the Society Islands of French Polynesia ("Piri" and "Roto") in the hope that the enormous contrasts between the ways of life of that Himalayan Hindu city and of the tiny Polynesian communities might be illuminating in some unforeseen way. My intention at first was to report on Bhaktapur in much the same way that I had on the Society Islands communities. |
