Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract In this article, I explore the ways bodies are trained, made and re-made in diasporic settings. Looking at South Asians in Britain, I argue that ritual practices are a relevant context to observe the process when the diasporic body is constructed. First, I bridge the gap between the anthropology of migration and the anthropology of the body through the process of diasporic self-making. Second, I explore ethnographic data on ritual activities among South Asians in Britain and outline different ways the diasporic body is constructed during these practices.
