> This panel addresses solitude as a minor, though meaningful, feature
> within contemporary Southeast Asian societies. Researches in both urban
> and rural modern context (growing cities as well as transforming
> agricultural environments) point to the existence of individuals who do
> not refer to traditional webs of relations such as kinship or a common
> residential origin in the first place. Some of these people are
> structurally alone and sometimes feel emotionally lonely but are not
> necessarily marginal or excluded from either productive or family life.
> They can belong to categories like for example migrants, umarried women,
> students, criminals or to places like survivors to catastrophes, street
> children and others.
>
> We invite the participants to bear in mind Janet Carsten's fundamental
> book, Cultures of relatedness but also Leo Coleman's challenging article
> ("Being Alone Together: From Solidarity to Solitude in Urban
> Anthropology", _Anthropological Quarterly_, Vol. 82, No. 3, , 2009, pp.
> 755-778), in order to question what encrusts an individual into a specific
> social bond and what, in the process, is culture-specific.
>
> Contributions should be deeply rooted in fieldwork or documentary
> researches of modern Southeast Asia.
