Book Description
Nothing good ever happens when the phone rings in the middle of the night. Sidney receives a desperate call from a woman who is in a bad way, claiming that her husband is stalking her. And even though Sidney knows that Arnie Chen will be annoyed with her taking on yet another new case, she takes the woman on as a client anyway. But there's more to this woman's story than first meets the eye, and nothing is quite as it seems. Meanwhile Sidney thinks she is close to wrapping up Arnie Chen's missing statue case after she finds a sign that may be a huge clue. Only problem is... She needs to be able to read Chinese to decipher it. Sidney wouldn't have been able to see the conclusion to this coming even if she had been able to see three years into the future, not just three seconds. If Sidney Stone thought her life was already complicated then she has no idea how much more complicated it's about to get.

The Funeral Casino
Author: Alan Klima
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400824966
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
The Funeral Casino is a heretical ethnography of the global age. Setting his book within Thailand's pro-democracy movement and the street massacres that accompanied it, Alan Klima offers a strikingly original interpretation of mass-mediated violence through a study of funeral gambling and Buddhist meditation on death. The fieldwork for the book began in 1992, when a freewheeling market of illegal "massacre-imagery" videos blossomed in Bangkok on the very site where, days earlier, for the third time in two decades, a military-controlled government had killed scores of unarmed pro-democracy protesters. Such killings and their subsequent representation have lent force to Thailand's transition from military control to a "media-financial complex." Probing the ways in which death is marketed, visualized, and remembered through practices both local and global, Klima inverts conventional relationships between ethnography and theory through a compelling narrative that reveals a surprising new direction available to anthropology and critical theory. Ethnography here engages with the philosophy of activism and the politics of memory, media representation of violence, and globalization. In focusing on the particular array of tactics in Thai Buddhism and protest politics for connecting death and life, past and present, this book unveils a vivid and haunting picture of community, responsibility, and accountability in the new world order.
