“…interventions in Thimphu must account for the gendered discursive formations that animate social stigmatisation (Kleinman and Hall-Clifford 2006). Within the morally charged environment of entertainment venues, drayang girls are marked as transgressing the bounds of appropriate femininity and citisenship.…”

Bhutan's sustained low HIV prevalence can be attributed to its political commitment to maintain isolation from foreign cultural influence. Recently, rising HIV prevalence has coincided with the increase in human traffic along Bhutan's borders. The majority of infections, occurring primarily through sexual contact, have appeared in the urban environments that are situated along the main transport routes. This qualitative study explored the sexual networks that form at entertainment venues in the capital city of Thimphu. To more fully understand sexual network formation at theses venues, one must take into account an emerging modernity that reflects a convergence of cultural, economic and political influences emanating from Bhutan's unique 'middle-path' modernisation scheme. The growing appearance of transactional sex in Thimphu not only points to an emergent form of exploitation wrought by larger economic transformations and widening social inequalities; the power inequalities that surround its practice are also significantly exacerbated by the local cultural politics and moral ideologies that arise as Bhutan proceeds along the path towards global capitalism. Discourses of Bhutanese sexual morality articulate with broader political economic transformations to forcefully position village women engaging in transactional sex within a field of power relations that leaves them open to various forms of subjugation.

“…In other words, an individual's prejudice is not necessarily translated to a societal level. Research should explore this issue by examining whether relational choices lead to devalued moral status and structural discrimination (Kleinman & Hall-Clifford, 2009). …”

Consensual nonmonogamy is a term used to describe intimate romantic relationships that are sexually and/or emotionally nonexclusive. The present study examined the social norms that are violated by different forms of consensual nonmonogamy and the negative judgments that result. We asked 375 participants to rate hypothetical vignettes of people involved in one of five relationship types (monogamy, polyamory, open relationship, swinging, and cheating) on items related to relationship satisfaction, morality, and cognitive abilities. The monogamous couple was perceived most favorably, followed by the polyamorous couple, then the open and swinging couples who were rated equally. Participants judged the cheating couple most negatively. Although social norms of sexual and emotional monogamy are important, we conclude that the aspect that has the most effect on judgments is whether the relationship structure has been agreed to by all parties.

“…El mobbing puede responder a objetivos vicarios al despido, como la neutralización del afectado, la posibilidad de su control y dominación, la anulación de su empleabilidad futura, el boicot a su reputación para impedir que se enrole en otra institución competidora, la obstaculización de su carrera profesional y su traslado a otras dependencias. Siguiendo a Kleinman [32][33][34][35] , podemos decir que, como en el estigma, todo depende de lo que "esté en juego en un mundo moral local". Por ejemplo, entre los funcionarios públicos, donde la dificultad objetiva del despido es bien conocida y a la vez las situaciones de APT son más frecuentes, suelen operar más las finalidades de denigración, neutralización, marginación, baja laboral o traslado del hostigado.…”
