Rapid development has profoundly altered public and private life in Thailand. In her provocative study of contemporary commerce in Bangkok, Ara Wilson captures the intimate effects of the global economy in this vibrant city. The Intimate Economies of Bangkok is a multifaceted portrait of the intertwining of identities, relationships, and economics during Bangkok's boom years. Using innovative case studies of women's and men's participation in a range of modern markets-department stores, go-go bars, a popular downtown mall, a telecommunications company, and the direct sales corporations Amway and Avon-Wilson chronicles the powerful expansion of capitalist exchange into further reaches of Thai society. She shows how global economies have interacted with local systems to create new kinds of lifestyles, ranging from "tomboys" to corporate tycoons to sex workers. Combining feminist theory with classic anthropological understandings of exchange, this historically grounded ethnography maps the reverberations of gender, sexuality, and ethnicity at the hub of Bangkok's modern economy. 606 $aSex role$zThailand$zBangkok 606 $aCapitalism$xSocial aspects$zThailand$zBangkok 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aWomen$zThailand$xSocial conditions 606 $aWomen$zThailand$xEconomic conditions 610 $aamway. 610 $aanthropological study. 610 $aanthropologists. 610 $aavon ladies. 610 $aavon. 610 $abangkok. 610 $abusiness relationships. 610 $acapitalism. 610 $acase studies. 610 $acommerce and business. 610 $acontemporary bangkok. 610 $adepartment stores. 610 $aeconomic boom. 610 $aeconomic development. 610 $aeconomic expansion. 610 $aeconomic history. 610 $aethnographers. 610 $aethnography. 610 $afeminist theory. 610 $aglobal economy. 610 $aglobalization. 610 $agogo bars. 610 $aidentities. 610 $amalls. 610 $amodern lifestyles. 610 $amodern markets. 610 $aprivate life. 610 $apublic life. 610 $asex workers. 610 $atelecommunications. 610 $atextbooks. 610 $athai society. 610 $athailand. 610 $atomboys. 610 $atycoons. 615 0$aSex role 615 0$aCapitalism$xSocial aspects 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aWomen$xEconomic conditions. 676 $a381/.1/09593 700 $aWilson$b Ara$01579601 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778486503321 996 $aThe intimate economies of Bangkok$93859799 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04288nam 22006255 450 001 9910369920803321 005 20240724123254.0 010 $a9783030297572 010 $a3030297578 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-29757-2 035 $a(CKB)4100000009678370 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5968949 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-29757-2 035 $a(PPN)252713273 035 $a(Perlego)3493891 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000009678370 100 $a20191028d2020 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aPolitical Islamists in Turkey and the Gülen Movement /$fby Recep Dogan 205 $a1st ed. 2020. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2020. 215 $a1 online resource (267 pages) 225 1 $aMiddle East Today,$x2945-7025 311 08$a9783030297565 311 08$a303029756X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a1.

This book endeavors to fill this gap. It is a welcome contribution to the studies of Turkish politics from an expert on Islamic theology and jurisprudence." -Ihsan Yilmaz, Professor, Deakin University, Australia "This captivating and compelling book is filled with tremendous intellectual vitality. Readers will greatly appreciate the accounts and analysis of the author's experience that is portrayed against the complex, troubling, and political background of the current times." -Hasan Aydin, Associate Professor, Florida Gulf Coast University, USA This book explores the struggle and differences between the current governmental power, the AKP, and the Gülen movement, the leading civic Islamic movement, in Turkey. It discusses the history of relations between the AKP and the Gülen movement and analyzes the reasons that caused tensions and, eventually, a radical rupture between them. In order to help readers to better understand the difference between Political Islam and civil Islam, the project explains the political theology of each group and compares them to each other. The author explains the human rights violations, restrictions on the media and the destruction of democratic institutions in Erdogan's New Turkey project. This is an ideal monograph for scholars interested in the Middle East, sociology, and political Islam.
