Gold-based Spectrums in a South Indian Silk Producing Hub: Relating continuums of accumulation, vulnerability, and wellbeing (Final Report)

Abstract

 

This report presents gold-based life-story interviews with stakeholders in the silk industry of Karnataka, towards understanding how liberalisation policies have impacted gender relations and work vulnerability. The interviews, designed to complement a survey of production in the sector, have paid particular attention to the acquisition, ownership, and divestment of gold. Gold serves as a monetary marker that will be used to locate and track memories of financial situations and financial behavior over time.
