dc.descriptionThis study sets out to detect the various markers that express forms of caste and community belonging, and, more generally, hierarchies in the language used in ordinary social interactions in villages in the hills of eastern Nepal, and how the somewhat rigid codes of civility that govern village society and language have recently evolved. The study is carried out from a socio-anthropological perspective rather than a linguistic or a literary one.1eng

Pustak Ghimire is a researcher at Centre de Recherche en Ethnomusicologie Nanterre, France, on an Agence Nationale de la Recherche program ("Making invisible powers present in the Himalayas"). His Ph.D. dissertation (2010 Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales, Paris) dealt with hierarchies, conflicting values and recomposed identities in a locality in the hills of eastern Nepal. His current research focuses on rural violence, power-justice and social regulations, the impact of migration, modernity and globalization, inter-ethnic and inter-caste relations, and the mutations of religious feeling in Nepal. His forthcoming book, Contested Primacies, is to be published in 2016. He currently teaches Nepali culture, literature, and society at National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations (INALCO) Paris.eng
