This book takes us to four very different places-New York City, San Diego, rural Iowa, and Saint Paul, Minnesota-to explore the dramatic shifts in coming-of-age experiences across the country. Drawing from in-depth interviews with people in their twenties and early thirties, it probes experiences and decisions surrounding education, work, marriage, parenthood, and housing. The first study to systematically explore this phenomenon from a qualitative perspective, Coming of Age in America offers a clear view of how traditional patterns and expectations are changing, of the range of forces that are shaping these changes, and of how young people themselves view their lives.Adolescence - United States - History - 21st centuryAdolescence -- United States -- History -- 21st centuryEthnology - United StatesEthnology -- United StatesParent and teenager - United StatesParent and teenager -- United StatesSocial classes - United StatesSocial classes -- United StatesAdolescenceHistory21st centuryUnited StatesParent and teenagerUnited StatesEthnologyUnited StatesSocial classesUnited StatesSocial Welfare & Social WorkHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCChild & Youth DevelopmentHILCC21st century adult.adulting.american youth.becoming an adult.bildungsroman.books for young adults.buying first house.early adult housing.education.family.first job.graduation gifts.growing up.guide to adulthood.guide to your thirties.guide to your twenties.how to adult.life after college.life in your thirties.life in your twenties.living in new york city.living in san diego.navigating adulthood.nyc life.work and education.work and marriage.work life balance.young adult self help.young parenthood.Adolescence - United States - History - 21st century.Adolescence -- United States -- History -- 21st century.Ethnology - United States.Ethnology -- United States.Parent and teenager - United States.Parent and teenager -- United States.Social classes - United States.Social classes -- United States.AdolescenceHistoryParent and teenagerEthnologySocial classesSocial Welfare & Social WorkSocial SciencesChild & Youth Development305.2350973/09051LB 43610rvkCarr Patrick Josephedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHoldaway Jennifer Annedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKefalas Maria J.1967-edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtWaters Mary C.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910781558703321Coming of Age in America3788667UNINA02722nam 22004573a 450 991097678620332120250123130411.0978052030166505203016689780520972230052097223610.1525/luminos.72(CKB)37386471100041(ScCtBLL)e8c0cf19-1a68-42e4-b652-8a618b467c3f(Perlego)2329464(EXLCZ)993738647110004120250123i20192020 uu engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierImpersonationsHarshita Mruthinti KamathOakland :University of California Press,2019.1 online resource (1 p.)Drawing on multisited ethnographic fieldwork and performance analysis, this book centers on an insular community of Smarta brahmin men from the Kuchipudi village in Telugu-speaking South India, who are required to don strī-vēṣam (woman's guise) and impersonate female characters from Hindu religious narratives. According to the hagiography of Siddhendra, the founding saint of Kuchipudi dance, every brahmin man from a hereditary Kuchipudi family must don strī-vēṣam at least once in his life, a prescription that still resonates in the village today. Impersonation, the term used to indicate the donning of gender guise (vēṣam), is not simply a performative mandate for Kuchipudi brahmin men but also a practice of power that creates normative ideals of brahmin masculinity in village performance and everyday life. However, the construction of brahmin masculinity against the backdrop of impersonation is highly contingent, particularly on account of the expansion of Kuchipudi in the latter half of the twentieth century from a localized village performance to a transnational Indian "classical" dance tradition. By shifting from village to urban and transnational spaces, the book traces the technologies of normativity that create, sustain, and undermine normative ideals of gender, caste, and sexuality through the embodied practice of impersonation in contemporary South India.Social Science / AnthropologybisacshReligion / Antiquities & ArchaeologybisacshHistory / AsiabisacshReligionSocial Science / AnthropologyReligion / Antiquities & ArchaeologyHistory / AsiaReligion.Mruthinti Kamath Harshita1788002ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910976786203321Impersonations4322163UNINA
