Balinese Worlds.
Chicago. University of Chicago Press. 1993. Stock ID #176156 "In this detailed ethnography of the Northern district of Buleleng, Barth rejects mainstream anthropological generalizations of Bali as a cultural system of carefully articulated parts where variation between north and south and from region to region tends to be explained away. Instead - drawing on many sources, including the sociology of knowledge, interactional analysis, postmodern thought, and his own expectionally varied field experience - Barth presents a model that actually generates variation.

Barth's innovative analysis of Balinese life hightlights both the constructive and the disorganizing effects of individual action, the constant flux of interpretation, the powerful interaction of memory and social relationships, and knowledge as a cultural resource." (Publisher's description).
