Spirits and thieves, religious deviants and sexual/liberal others: Shifting idioms of danger, disruption, and crime talk in Malaysia.
Anthropologists' analyses of the idioms and discourses of disruption, danger, and vulnerability encountered in their fieldwork tend to be synchronic, rarely drawing on longitudinal research to engage the historical and cultural-political dynamics contributing to transformations in these domains.
