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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBalinese Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e is a unique contribution not only to Balinese studies but also to the theory and methods of the anthropology of complex societies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFredrik Barth\u003c\/b\u003e is a research fellow of the Norwegian Ministry of Culture and Robert W.
