Visit of Irene Majo Garigliano, PhD student at “Sapienza” University of Rome and at University “Paris Ouest-Nanterre La Défense”
10 JANUARY 13
Irene Majo Garigliano, PhD student at "Sapienza" University of Rome and at University "Paris Ouest-Nanterre La Défense", arrived at Pondicherry Centre of the EFEO on 10th January 2013 for three months with an EFEO scholarship.
Her studies concentrate on the community of Brahmans of the Kāmākhyā Temple (Guwahati, Assam). Based on the understanding of the categories through which the Kāmākhyā Temple's Brahmans subdivide themselves, her analyses focus on social, economic and political issues within the community. The number of pilgrims visiting the Kāmākhyā Temple has risen considerably in the last decades, producing deep economical changes and exacerbating rivalries among Brahmans.
Having completed three fieldtrips (ten months altogether), Irene Majo Garigliano is now taking up the writing of her thesis.
