"INTRODUCTION At first glance there seems little to link Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, not even geographical proximity.

And Bangkok is as close to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore as is the Bruneian capital Bandar Seri ..."

And Bangkok is as close to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore as is the Bruneian capital Bandar Seri Begawan. But all three countries are born of a common history and e ..."

"Since the mid 90s psytrance has been viewed as a hedonist culture where participants seek to get into a trance-like state through all night dancing and drugs consumption. This ethnographic study explores one particular psytrance event to highlight the importance of social connectivity and the generation of a modern form of communitas, a term from anthropologist Victor Turner.
