Space and life. Hierarchy, family and family relations in rural India

Abstract

The relationships between social order and pre-valescent spatial structure in rural India are examined in the light of the concept of “living space”. The ‘cultural immersion’ in a village in Central India made it possible to explore the symbolic aspect of the pattern of residence resulting from hierarchical social relations, as well as the meanings for its inhabitants of the territorial boundaries and boundaries defined by the family system, into and out of the village. The village and regional area is lived by its inhabitants as a family area of borders and flexible boundaries, where identity, multiple and relational, is subject to negotiation.
