The cultural gifting dynamics of Valentine’s Day in Kuwait: the adoption of western Practices in muslim majority countriesDbaibou, Rawan OussamaThe state of KuwaitThe giftValentine’s dayIslamSocial transformationEl estado de KuwaitEl regaloDía de San ValentínTransformación social94This thesis is a study of historical anthropology that explores gift-giving practices in Kuwait, a multicultural Islamic country, with a focus on Valentine’s Day. The research is conducted among five age groups, allowing a diachronic social study of generational differences in perceptions, beliefs and opinions about European influences. As Valentine’s Day is a western occasion, a comprehensive approach to gift theory and practice is presented in relation to the Islamic religion and Arab tradition, thereby developing a historical analysis of how other cultures affect thoughts and practices in Kuwait. The possible impact in the future is discussed with regards to the cultural dynamics that shape Kuwait’s contemporary society. The information will help build cultural awareness around the Middle Eastern region, particularly the Arabian Gulf. It will demonstrate how Islamic countries are adopting changes in their communities relative to western ideology, ultimately recognising a social transformation within the region.Esta tesis es un estudio de antropología histórica que explora las costumbres de la entrega de regalos del día de San Valentín en Kuwait, un país islámico multicultural. La investigación se realiza entre cinco grupos de edad, permitiendo un estudio diacrónico social de las diferencias generacionales en las percepciones, creencias y opiniones sobre las influencias europeas. Se presenta un enfoque global sobre la teoría y práctica del regalo con relación a la religión islámica y tradición árabe, dado que esta ocasión es una celebración occidental, desarrollando así un análisis histórico de cómo otras culturas afectan a los pensamientos y las prácticas en Kuwait. Se analizan futuras repercusiones con respecto a la dinámica cultural que configura la sociedad contemporánea de Kuwait. La información contribuirá a crear una conciencia cultural en Oriente Medio, especialmente en el Golfo Pérsico. Demostrará cómo los países adoptan cambios en sus comunidades relativos a la ideología occidental, mostrando una transformación social dentro de la región.Programa de doctorat en HistòriaUniversitat Pompeu FabraMartín Corrales, EloyAixelà Cabré, YolandaUniversitat Pompeu Fabra.

This thesis is a study of historical anthropology that explores gift-giving practices in Kuwait, a multicultural Islamic country, with a focus on Valentine’s Day. The research is conducted among five age groups, allowing a diachronic social study of generational differences in perceptions, beliefs and opinions about European influences. As Valentine’s Day is a western occasion, a comprehensive approach to gift theory and practice is presented in relation to the Islamic religion and Arab tradition, thereby developing a historical analysis of how other cultures affect thoughts and practices in Kuwait. The possible impact in the future is discussed with regards to the cultural dynamics that shape Kuwait’s contemporary society. The information will help build cultural awareness around the Middle Eastern region, particularly the Arabian Gulf. It will demonstrate how Islamic countries are adopting changes in their communities relative to western ideology, ultimately recognising a social transformation within the region. |
