Nature is a primary force at play within this existence as chauras live itinerantly and in flux with the ever-changing river flows; where land is here today and gone tomorrow, the quality of life itself is intertwined with this mutability. Given this centrality of nature to chaura life, Khan contends that we must think of nature not simply as the physical landscape and the plants and animals that live within it but as that which exists within the social and at the level of cognition, the unconscious, intuition, memory, embodiment, and symbolization. By showing how the alluvial flood plains configure chaura life, Khan shows how nature can both give rise to and inhabit social, political, and spiritual forms of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Naveeda Khan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478016736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478016731\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Naveeda Khan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071492780287,"sku":"9781478016731","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_47b87b9f-b97c-4633-a81a-28c1bf3e1051.jpg?v=1685436422","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/river-life-and-the-upspring-naveeda-khan-9781478016731","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
