- Summary:
- Anthropologists explore popular religion in a number of the region's countries that display different degrees and orientations of Western modernism. Among the topics are the ontological status of objects and the study of Lao Buddhist rituals for the spirits of the deceased, rethinking the four palaces' spirit representations in northern Vietnam, spiritual consumption from Korea to Vietnam, being a spirit medium in contemporary Burma, and ancestor worship and spirit possession in southern Thailand.
