| Name: | Benares as Imagined Waterscapes:Exploring the Social Spatiality of Everyday Water Use |
| Coordinating organisation: | South Asia Institute |
| Description: | This project is concerned with the relationships between spatial practice and cognitive representations of environment in an urban setting. The focus of investigation is on the waterscape of contemporary Banaras from the perspective of the new cultural geography. Waterscape is understood as the totality of natural and built water resources such as rivers, ponds, tanks, (step)wells, and municipal water supply, which is imbued with different meanings by different urban-based actors being multifariously related to it. |
