Hardcover. Condizione: New. 2nd Edition. Mesocosm offers an entirely new under-standing of the role of a traditional Hindu city in the lives of its inhabitants. Formerly the capital of Nepal, the city of Bhaktapur in the Kathmandu Valley was, by the mid-1970s, the last surviving example of a kind of city once characteristic of archaic civilizations. In Bhaktapur, Hinduism reached its fullest potential for organizing communities. Robert Levy was able to document Bhaktapur s unique structure, in which the public life of the community and the private worlds of its members shared a complex social and religious relationship, before modernism overtook the city and began to transform it. Levy views the city as a mesocosm , mediating between the microcosm of the individual and the macrocosm of the culturally conceived larger universe. With a highly integrated society and culture, organized for the most part through religious symbols, Bhaktapur is a sacred space. Roles assigned by an elaborate caste system, a pantheon of immanent gods, and the tempos and forms of the festival year and various rites of passage construct a civic dance within that space, a web of communication and instruction which deeply affects Bhaktapur s citizens. Hinduism and its symbolism permeate the life of the city and organize the personal experience of its inhabitants. Levy investigates the meaning of the community to the people who live there and suggests how the religious forms that have challenged Hinduism in South Asia Christianity and, above all, Is-lam are profoundly antithetical to Hinduism as the organizing principle for cities such as Bhaktapur. Mesocosm is a ground-breaking contribution to anthropology, social and religious history, and Nepalese and South Asian studies. (jacket).

First printing, no others noted. "Robert I. Levy (1924 29 August 2003, Asolo, Italy) was an American psychiatrist and anthropologist known for his fieldwork in Tahiti and Nepal and on the cross-cultural study of emotions. Though he did not receive a formal degree in anthropology, he spent most of his adult life conducting anthropological fieldwork or teaching in departments of anthropology."--from Wikipedia. "We will be concerned in this volume with the social and symbolic organization of the 99 percent of the city's (Bhaktapur) population who are called by others and by themselves Newars, and, for the most part, with the 92 percent of the city's population who call themselves not only Newars but also Hindus. The term "Newar" is used by those people whom other groups in Nepal refer to as Newars in a complex way. It is used in a general way by the "Newars" themselves to differentiate themselves from various kinds of outsiders, usually lumped as "Khae (n)," the western Indo-Nepalese "invaders" on the one hand and the "Sae(n) ," or Mongoloid hill peoples of northern origin, the Sherpas, Tibetans, Tamang, and so on, on the other. In Bhaktapur in reference to people living in the city, the maximal use of "Newar" distinguishes those groups who "follow Newar customs," from others living in the city, whom we will introduce later in this chapter as "non-Newars."
