Abstract

By deliberately assuming that the coercion produced by certain images in contemporary anthropology has collapsed, due to the “spirit of the age”, that is, “the end of modernism”, this article aims at discussing the ways followed in Clifford Geertz’s effort to describe the Balinese world. I focus on the article “Person, time, and conduct in Bali”, stressing that the presence of Alfred Schutz’s phenomenology creates safe ground where Geertz analysis can be filled with metaphors evoking “consistency”, “orga- nization”, “impersonalisation” etc.
