"Martin's text is a delight. The material on filming, soul capture, ritual, and possession is incredible. This work certainly seems to be working with the anthropological state of the art in terms of combining themes and cultural domains most associated with small-scale communities and cultures with large global media culture. It is a timely, relevant, and exciting text."--Allan C. Dawson, Drew University
"Haunted is an excellent case study of how global forces--specifically global capitalism--influence local cultures. It addresses the local/global nexus in innovative ways: one of these ways is by looking at affective labor and how it contrasts with the demands of capitalism, creating tensions for media producers. It also illustrates the role of non-modern sociocultural forces that are beyond science, rationalization, and individualism, and how these affect production."- -Leila Rodriguez, University of Cincinnati
"Ethnographically, the focus on actors is unique and very effective. This is a good book with a big potential audience."--Sherry B. Ortner, University of California-Los Angeles

How do media professionals handle the risks of film and television production given market uncertainties, fears of industrial decline, and increasing job insecurity? What does the work of creating spectacle on-screen amid volatile conditions off-screen mean to them? In Haunted: An Ethnography of the Hollywood and Hong Kong Media Industries, Sylvia J. Martin explores these questions about members of the highly commercial film and television industries of Hollywood and Hong Kong (the latter often referred to as the "Hollywood of the East"). Drawing on extensive multi-sited ethnographic research--including participant-observation as an extra in Hollywood and interviews with stunt workers in Hong Kong--Martin takes the readers onto studio lots and urban filming locations in Hollywood and Hong Kong to discover the haunting perils and pleasures of the filming process for media workers as they also grapple with broader social, economic, and political issues. Signaling a new turn in anthropology of media, this ethnography is not only a comparative study of the Hollywood and Hong Kong media industries but also an examination of the thematic and transnational connections between them. Through unexpected findings about engagement with religion and the supernatural in both industrial sites, Martin offers a unique perspective on risk and uncertainty for media labor and production studies.
Haunted is a volume in the ISSUES OF GLOBALIZATION: CASE STUDIES IN CONTEMPORARY ANTHROPOLOGY series, which examines the experiences of individual communities in our contemporary world. Each volume offers a brief and engaging exploration of a particular issue arising from globalization and its cultural, political, and economic effects on certain peoples or groups.
