The Focus: Road Horizons in the Himalaya

Résumé

In this Focus, we look at roads broadly speaking as they epitomise the diverse pathways through and around which people devise their own sense of belonging and becoming. The articles assembled, presented initially for the conference “Himalayan Journeys,” are ethnographically informed case studies about people’s mobile engagement with their social and physical landscape. Trails or roads, well-travelled or in progress, are here considered “pathways of sociality,” sites for exchange that convey human relationships and values, as well as sites of expectations, cooperation, and competition. Roads exemplify ambivalent successes and failures; some become dead ends literally and metaphorically, while others remain full of promise.
