Narrative Practice and Cultural Change: Building Worlds with Karma, Ghosts, and Capitalist Invaders in Thailand
The Meanings in Lives
Transnational Solutions to a Local Problem: The Human Natures of Buddhist Consumers
What Holds People Together? First-Person Anthropology and Perspective-Taking in Thai Ghost Stories
What allows people to share cultural realities? Many theories imply that people orient themselves directly to abstract cultural structures or toward a set of powerful discourses which shape them. But because cultural worlds are understood practically and experienced and communicated through first-person perspectives, people must engage in empathicperspective taking-orienting themselves toward one another's perspectives-instead.

It is not just a process of moving things into the individual but one of synchronizing imaginings of experience. For Bangkok's Buddhists, karma is a concept that is both culturally shared and, often, deeply personal. Karmic ex…
