The author of this volume aims to show how these mentions lead to the heart of Proust’s work.Marcel Proust zitiert und erwähnt Tacitus nicht nur in Briefen und seinem unvollendet gebliebenen 'Jean Santeuil', sondern vor allem auch in seinem Hauptwerks 'A la recherche du temps perdu'.

By illustrating the exchange and consumption of clothing, the book demonstrates that the practices of wearing and gifting clothes materialize and visualize relationships. The significant outward migration of Guyanese to North America has resulted in substantial international gift exchange and transnational rituals. Applying the concept of translocality, this book demonstrates that different localities continue to influence transnational networks and socio-cultural practices. It provides a study of migration that emphasizes various aspects of material and visual closeness, conceptualizing the notion of touch. .HindusClothingGuyanaGuyanafastHindusClothing304.8Kloß Sinah Theres1058489BOOK9910253355603321Fabrics of Indianness2500256UNINA
