culture,” as most of the methodology and evaluative schemes are common to the study

2 The evidence presented here derives from an on-going Ph.D. project. I have been to Goa
over the winter four times for ethnographic fieldwork: about five weeks in 1998,
1999, and 2000, and four months in 2001–2. The main method I used was participant
observation and informal interviewing, inspired by microsociologies such as that of
Goffman. Additional information came from press and magazine archives, emails,
websites, novels, and interviews/conversations with local villagers, DJs, journalists,
lawyers, activists, police officers, doctors, and academics.
