Clark Title of Event: Mukulika Banerjee and Daniel Miller: The Sari Mukulika Banerjee and Daniel Miller: The Sari A new bride is unable to move from her husband's motorbike as her sari comes undone. A young man wonders how he will cope with the sari's complicated folds in a romantic clinch. A villager's soft, worn sari is her main comfort during a fever. In this lavishly illustrated, fascinating new book, the sari is center-stage in relationships between mothers and infants, mistresses and maids, designers and soap opera stars. Tonight Mukulika Banerjee and Daniel Miller, both anthropologists at University College London, will talk about how one of the world's most simply constructed garments can reveal the profound complexities of life in modern India. | |
