Experience, Caste, and the Everyday Social by Gopal Guru

Experience, Caste, and the Everyday Social by Gopal Guru

This book is an exploration of the nature of this 'social'; it argues that our definition of sociality is influenced largely by our everyday lives, the institutions we are part of, and the relationships we build-all of these experiences catalyse the way we see the social world and shape how we act in it. We smell, touch, and taste the social; we belong to the social (every social collection is defined by our sense of belongingness to, for instance, the family, the community, or the caste); and from all of this we understand something of the nature of the social. This volume is a theoretical interpretation of the process of the creation of the 'social' through our everyday lives-of how we construct a sense of 'identity', 'authority', and 'ethics' through sensory perceptions that we experience in our daily lives.

Gopal Guru is a former professor at the Centre for Political Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, and chief editor at Economic and Political Weekly. Sundar Sarukkai is a philosopher based in Bengaluru, India.
