New Books in AnthropologyDaniela Bevilacqua, "From Tapas to Modern Yoga: Sādhus' Understanding of Embodied Practices" (Equinox, 2024)Extensively based on fieldwork material, From Tapas to Modern Yoga: Sādhus' Understanding of Embodied Practices (Equinox, 2024) primarily analyses embodied practices of ascetics belonging to four religious orders historically associated with the practice of yoga and hatha yoga.

Creating a confrontation between textual sources and ethnographic data, the book demonstrates how 'embodied practices' (austerities, yoga and hatha yoga) over the centuries accumulated layers of meanings and practices that coexist in the...

Ricercati. Storie dei cervelli italiani nel mondo - Intesa Sanpaolo On AirGli hindu e la comunità LgbtQuasi ogni anno, centinaia di migliaia di persone si raccolgono per settimane in una delle città sacre dell’induismo, per compiere riti devozionali e purificarsi.
