最近，许多尝试描述行动与用于描述该行动的话语语言之间的“具体”空间中发生的事情，这些尝试主要受到各种西方心理理论的影响。在本文中，我提出了一种本土理论，探讨南亚背景下逊尼派穆斯林在语言表达与其声称代表的行动之间的差距中所发生的情况。民族志的重点是印度古吉拉特邦造船厂的学徒学习工艺和社交技能。有人认为，获得这两种技能是通过身体活动对身体的特殊概念和灵魂可能的转变来强调的。
A number of recent attempts to describe what happens in the ‘embodied’ space between action and the discursive language used to describe that action have been primarily informed by various western theories of mind. In this article, I present an indigenous theory of what happens among Sunni Muslims in a South Asian context in the gap between linguistic utterances and the actions they purport to represent. The ethnography focuses on learning craft and social skills among apprentices in the shipyards in the Indian state of Gujarat. It is argued that acquiring both kinds of skills is underscored by particular conceptions of the body and the possible transformations of the soul through physical activity.
