- W2081206152 abstract "Sherpas are portrayed by Westerners as heroic montain guides, or tigers of the snow, as Buddhist adepts, and as a people in touch with intimate ways of life that seem no longer available in the Western world. This text explores how attempts to characterize an authentic Sherpa are complicated by Western fascination with Sherpas and by the Sherpas' desires to live up to Western portrayals of them. Noting that diplomatic aides at world summit meetings go by the name Sherpa, as do a van built for rough terrain and a software product from Silicon Valley, the author examines the authenticating effects of this mobile signifier on a community of Himalayan Sherpas who live at the base of Mount Everest and its deauthenticating effects on anthropological representation. This book is aimed not only at anthropologists concerned with ethnographic portrayals of otherness, but also at those working in cultural studies who are concerned with ethnographically grounded analyses of representations. Throughout, the author illustrates how one might undertake an ethnography of transnationally produced subjects by using the notion of virtual identities. In a manner informed by both Buddhism" @default.
