Social Practices and Media Narratives of Matrimonial Decision-Making in India (A06)

该项目基于包办婚姻产生于社会决策过程的假设。通过关注媒介，印度婚姻的文化叙事——作为决策的一种情况——将在生活实践以及大众（电视、电影）和数字媒体表现中进行检查。该项目旨在为历史文化视角的多元化提供民族学贡献，这种视角不将决策减少到个人意图，而是将其理解为一种社会实践。

This project proceeds from the assumption that arranged marriages emerge from social processes of decision-making. By focusing on mediality, cultural narratives of marriage in India - as a situation of decision-making - shall be examined both in lived practice as well as in their mass (TV, movies) and digital media representations. The project aims to provide an ethnological contribution to the pluralization of a historical cultural perspective that does not reduce decision-making to individual intentions but understands it as a social practice.
