I am a Ph.D candidate in Social Anthropology at the University of Edinburgh. My main interested are existential and visual anthropology, which I consider formidable instruments in order to approach the various ways in which singular individuals attempt to make their lives liveable and meaningful within a more or less determined socio-cultural world.
In my research project I focus on the consciousness of death and its articulations in quotidian life among a Hindu community of the Sinja Valley of Jumla District (Western Nepal), by means of which to observe and reflect upon existential sense-making as me-in-the-midst-of-others and of death-in-the-midst-of-life.
