DESCRIPTION:"Teashops\, Toastmasters and Transnationalism: Urdu Poets and G
 lobal Flows in North India and the Arabian Gulf" This paper will consider 
 the impacts of transnational processes on two South Asian Muslim communiti
 es\, working-class silk weavers in Varanasi\, India\, and white-collar Sou
 th Asian expatriates in the Arabian Gulf\, using the lens of contemporary 
 Urdu language poetry performances.&nbsp\; While Urdu literary culture may 
 seem an unusual locus for an examination of the impact of globalization\, 
 the performance and reception of poetry is a fruitful way to consider the 
 experiences of globalization by South Asians of disparate economic\, regio
 nal and religious backgrounds\, as poetry is a significant cultural perfor
 mance that brings into focus local and transnational processes while refle
 cting upon and helping construct important aspects of community as well as
  cultural and religious identities.
