    University of Pennsylvania ScholarlyCommons Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations Summer 2010 Youth and Status in Tamil Nadu, India Constantine V. Nakassis University of Pennsylvania, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations Part of the Film and Media Studies Commons, Linguistic Anthropology Commons, Social and Cultural Anthropology Commons, and the South and Southeast Asian Languages and Societies Commons Recommended Citation Nakassis, Constantine V., "Youth and Status in Tamil Nadu, India" (2010). Publicly Accessible Penn Dissertations. 227. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/227 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/edissertations/227 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Youth and Status in Tamil Nadu, India Abstract This sociocultural anthropological study looks at youth culture in Tamil Nadu, India, focusing on college- age youth in Madurai and Chennai. The dissertation first shows how outhy experience their position in the larger Tamil society as “being outside of.” This exteriority is manifest in youth concepts of status and gender, the signs and activities which express such status and gender, and the social spaces in which such signs and activities are played out. In particular, the dissertation focuses on how the youth peer group is dually shaped as an exterior space of youth status negotiation—as exterior to adult norms of authority (and thus a space of status-raising qua transgression) and as exterior to norms of hierarchical ranking (and thus an egalitarian space of status-leveling, intimacy, and reciprocity). It is this tension between status-raising and -lowering which the dissertation shows to be crucially at play in how youth engage with and deploy various status-ful signs.

  • Play It Again Play It Again
    Play it Again With the launch of Raagam, a first of its kind digital classical music channel by Prasar Bharati, All India Radio is set to open its treasure trove of archival recordings llustration: CR Sasikumar The spirited sound of Nadhaswaram, a double reed 13th century wind instrument from the “mangal vadya” (auspicious instrument) family, will be played by SP Palanivel and R Prabhavati Palanivel at Windsor Lodge in Bangalore today. Once Diwan Mirza Ismail’s residence, the Lodge now houses the local All India Radio (AIR) office. On January 26, 2015, when India celebrates its 67th Republic Day, the high-decibal tone of the instrument will reverberate not only in the corridors of this building but will also be heard around the world. All India Radio, after years of having harboured a treasure trove of classical recordings, is likely to “fulfil a long-felt need of Indian classical music lovers” by kick starting Raagam — an exclusive 24-hour internet radio channel, which will represent a mosaic of Hindustani and Carnatic classical music through DTH facility. Apart from being available on allindiaradio.gov.in, Raagam will also be available through the All India Radio Mobile App for Windows, Android and iPhone users. So if you are anywhere in the world and have some decent bandwidth, you can tune into an interview with Begum Akhtar followed by her rendition of Bol piya nahi aaye in Mishra Gara or a Guru Nanak bhajan sung by MS Subbulakshmi which may just be followed by Bade Ghulam Ali Khan’s famous Mishra Bhairavi thumri Bajubandh khul khul jaye or Pt Ahmad Jaan Thirakwa’s solo tabla recital with a lehra on the harmonium.
