Cafe Culture in Pune

Being Young and Middle Class in Urban India

Beschreibung

Café Culture is an ethnographic snapshot, taken in 2008, tracing the effects of globalization from the perspective of young middle class urbanites in post-liberalization Pune, India. Documenting with meticulous detail their life world, from clothing to hanging out, friendship, dating, education and marriage, it captures new forms of socializing, consumption, self-improvement and relationship-management. In their practices the young café culture generation is seen to be simultaneously domesticating "the global" and transcending "the local".
