In "Balinese Worlds," Fredrik Barth proposes a new model for
anthropological analysis of complex civilizations that is based on
a fresh, synthetic account of culture and society in North Bali and
one that takes full notice of individual creativity in shaping the
contours of this dynamic culture.
In this detailed ethnography of the Northern district of Buleleng,
Barth rejects mainstream anthropological generalizations of Bali as
a cultural system of carefully articulated parts. Instead--drawing
on many sources, including the sociology of knowledge,
interactional analysis, postmodern thought, and his own
exceptionally varied field experience--Barth presents a new model
that actually generates variation. Barth's innovative analysis of
Balinese life highlights both the constructive and the
disorganizing effects of individual action, the constant flux of
interpretation, and the powerful interaction of memory and social
relationships, and knowledge as a cultural resource.
"Balinese Worlds" is a unique contribution not only to Balinese
studies but also to the theory and methods of the anthropology of
complex societies.
