Built around the learning and use of autobiographical narrative forms, it draws from, and expands on, phenomenological, psychological, and moral anthropological traditions. The author draws on extensive original fieldwork in Thailand to explore questions including: how Buddhism has dealt with the appearance of global capitalism; and why some Thais continue to pursue nirvana-oriented Buddhist practices when karma-oriented reward-systems seem to be more satisfying as a whole. Where previous person-centered ethnographies have explored the ways in which social forces cause individuals to conform to cultural norms, this work advances the analysis by focusing on how ideas are transmitted from individuals to into wider society. This book will provide fresh insights of particular interest to psychological, phenomenological and narrative anthropologists; as well as to researchers working in the fields of religious and Asian studies. Steven Grant Carlisle is Lecturer in Anthropology at California State University at San Marcos, USA. Dr. Carlisle specializes in anthropology of religion, psychological anthropology, and the study of narratives. 410 0$aCulture, Mind, and Society,$x2634-517X 606 $aEthnopsychology 606 $aEthnology 606 $aSoutheast Asia$xHistory 606 $aReligions 606 $aEthnology$zAsia 606 $aCulture 606 $aCross-Cultural Psychology 606 $aSociocultural Anthropology 606 $aHistory of Southeast Asia 606 $aComparative Religion 606 $aAsian Culture 606 $aEthnography 615 0$aEthnopsychology. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aSoutheast Asia$xHistory. 615 0$aReligions. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aCulture. 615 14$aCross-Cultural Psychology. 615 24$aSociocultural Anthropology. 615 24$aHistory of Southeast Asia. 615 24$aComparative Religion. 615 24$aAsian Culture. 615 24$aEthnography. 676 $a294.3373 676 $a150 700 $aCarlisle$b Steven Grant$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0945292 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910411938703321 996 $aNarrative Practice and Cultural Change$92134011 997 $aUNINA
