Wondering About Wonder: Hindu Temple Ritual, Aesthetics and Creativity

Sponsored by:
Rohatyn Center for Global Affairs, History of Arts and Architecture, Religion, Sociology/Anthropology, South Asian Studies, and International & Global Studies
Through her decades-long ethnography of Hindu temple rituals in the city of Bangalore, India, Tulasi Srinivas analyzes wonder as an anthropological concept; moments where ritual enmeshes with global modernity to create wonder- a feeling of amazement at being overcome by the unexpected and sublime. In this talk, Srinivas asks— What is the purpose of wonder and how does it link with creativity? Can it inform our practices of ethnography, our understanding of India, and of ourselves?
