Abstrakt:
Drawing on ethnographic research carried out in the Indian coastal village of Anjuna in Goa, this article presents an analysis of the process of the contemporary production of a specific type of place, i.e., former colonies which now function as important tourist and migrant hubs. Using the Actor-Network Theory as a methodological frame, I attempt to show how the practices of diverse social actors in Anjuna construct different, partly overlapping versions of the village. I focus on different variants of the village that are performatively produced by Goans under the influence of and in the face of both desirable and unwanted socio-cultural presences. As context, I also show how the village is constructed by other groups crucial for its functioning, namely, lifestyle migrants, labor migrants and tourists.
