Abstract

After offe­ring the reader the general context of Tibetan forced migra­tion to India evoking Tibetan history, culture, the book looks closely at different metho­do­lo­gies using images. Classic ethno­gra­phic tools, such as film or rela­ti­vely new methods, like photo­voice or self-pictu­ring are compared. The study sits at the cross­roads of social science disci­plines, such as history, ethno­graphy, and geography and is based on original field research conducted in India since 2008. Majnu Ka Tilla is the name of the Tibetan colony in New Delhi and the prefe­ren­tial loca­tion of an expe­ri­mental study related to memory and the spatial features of memory. The bridge is an ethnic fron­tier and a memo­rial urban point of refe­rence crea­ting the spatial memory. This publi­ca­tion is the result of years of expe­ri­mental metho­do­logy using fixed and moving images with the Tibetan diaspora in India.
