IMAGINED ASEAN IDENTITY in THAI TELEVISION PROGRAMS Pitak Chumongkol a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requ IMAGINED ASEAN IDENTITY IN THAI TELEVISION PROGRAMS Pitak Chumongkol A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication Arts and Innovation) The Graduate School of Communication Arts and Management Innovation National Institute of Development Administration 2017 ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation Imagined ASEAN Identity in Thai Television Programs Author Mr. Pitak Chumongkol Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Communication Arts and Innovation) Year 2017 This study was a qualitative research aimed to analyze the construction of ASEAN identity in Thai television programs and the decoding of ASEAN identity conveyed in Thai television program by the youth audience. Textual analysis of 6 television programs presenting social and cultural content about ASEAN during 2014- 2016, totaling 57 episodes, was conducted with in-depth interview with 25 students in the area of ASEAN Studies from 4 universities: Kasetsart, Thammasart, Chiangmai, and Walailuk. The following findings were found: All Thai television programs constructed ASEAN identity from the point of view of Thais. From analysis by narrative components: plot, character, conflict, scene, theme, special symbol, and point of view, five ASEAN identities were found: 1) harmonized ASEAN 2) united ASEAN amidst diversity 3) Hybrid ASEAN 4) ASEAN with past conflict 5) competing ASEAN. “Harmonized ASEAN” and “ United ASEAN amidst diversity” was found the most, and next was “Hybrid ASEAN.” All three identities conveyed positive relations between Thais and Neighbors. As for the decoding of the youth audience, the audience decoded with “preferred reading” more than “negotiated” and “oppositional” reading. “Hybrid ASEAN” was all decoded with preferred reading without any deconstruction. Though some audience decoded “United ASEAN amidst diversity” in accordance with the programs which conveyed the diversity in positive direction, but some denied ASEAN identity constructed by the programs by viewing that a diversity of ethnicity, religion, and genders was not accepted in reality. iv The research findings illustrated that to perceive ASEAN from Thai point of view with an emphasis on commonalities and differences of “we” (Thais) and “they” (neighbors) found in the construction of ASEAN identity of Thai television programs would portrayed the concept of “nationalism.” Oppositely, the audience’s decoding of ASEAN identity emphasized the concept of “regionalism” which perceived “Thais and Neighbors” as “we” or the same group who were interdependent and cooperated, under the name of the region, to protect the region from external threats and problems. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation entitled, “Imagined ASEAN Identity in Thai Television Programs,” would not have been completed successfully without invaluable advice and kind support from all the examining committee. First of all, I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude for Associate Professor Patchanee Cheyjunya and Associate Professor Dr. Kamjohn Louiyapong for accepting to be my advisors, and for all suggestions, assistance, encouragement, and close supervision up to the completion of this dissertation. In addition, I would like to express my sincere thanks for Professor Dr. Yubol Benjarongkij, and Associate Professor Dr. Kanjana Kaewthep, the chairperson and committee respectively, for their time and guidelines to make this dissertation fulfilled. I also feel grateful for all teachings I received all through my studying at this university. If there would be any decent consequences from academic value of this dissertation, or from my academic profession, I would gratefully honor this for two significant women in my life. First is Mrs. Phenrung Chumongkol, my mother, who gave life on earth to me, and who always takes very good care of me with love, sacrifice, and great support all through my life, and Professor Patchanee Cheyjunya, my advisor, who gives me the meaning of “being a teacher” with kindness, and who always stands by me in every important time in my life.

In addition it is considered one of the most culturally diverse regions of the world. In the midst of this diversity, ASEAN leaders acknowledge the importance of cooperation in order to increase the negotiation power and to meet with the challenges that continuously affect the various countries in the region. In the past there has been many efforts at different levels to unify the region. These efforts include the physical, institutional, and population level integration as stated in the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity (Department of ASEAN Affairs, 2011). The plan outlines the integration of the region in various dimensions in order to achieve the economic, political, security, social, and cultural goals. The plan states the different levels of integration including 1 physical connectivity is the connection through logistics, telecommunications, and energy; 2 institutional connectivity is the deregulation to promote trade, management of funds, creating standardized legal frameworks and criteria; 3) people to people connectivity is the promotion of education, creating ASEAN knowledge centers and encourage the exchange of culture between nations including the promotion of tourism and exchange among the people in the region. This social and cultural integration is aimed to create harmony in ASEAN and is considered the heart of the regional integration. In addition to the Master Plan, there is still a plan for the social and cultural integration that reflects the desire to create unity in the region as stated in Section E of the plan. The creation of an ASEAN identity is designed to harmonize the cultural norms, values, and beliefs that the people have in common. However, the construction of an ASEAN identity and feeling of oneness is a very challenging endeavor. This is because the construction of the ASEAN identity would mean breaking down the walls of nationalism to become regionalism. It must 2 change the mindset of “we” being Thais and “they” being other neighboring nationals. The mass media has played a significant role in projecting the representations of the relationship between Thais and other ASEAN peoples. The author has categorized the content of these representations as the past content and the present content in order to shed the light on how we have come to have the ASEAN identity today. The content in the mass media would be categorized in two parts namely 1) Looking Back at Media Representations of ASEAN in the Past and 2) Looking at the Present Media Representations of ASEAN. 1.1.1 Looking Back at Media Representations of ASEAN in the Past The content for this section is derived from the coverage from 2005 – 2014. The media studied would include newspaper, radio, film, and television. A total of 17 research articles have been selected for analysis in order to determine the state of the relationship between Thais and other ASEAN peoples.

  • Nationalism by Design: the Politics of Dress in British Burma by Penny
    -1- Nationalism by Design: The Politics of Dress in British Burma By Penny Edwards. IIAS Newsletter 46 (Winter 2008). Colonial attempts to hem in racial and gender difference through practice, law and lore made dress a potent field of resistance in British Burma, giving rise to new strands of nationalism by design. On 22 November 1921, a young male named Maung Ba Bwa was apprehended by police at the ShwedaGon PaGoda in RanGoon. MaunG Ba Bwa was one of an unusually hiGh number of Burmans visitinG the paGoda on this November evening for an exhibition of weaving, and a performance of a phwe (Burmese traditional theatre) by two leadinG artists. In MaunG Ba Bwa’s recollection of events, “his attire” had attracted police attention. “He was wearinG a pinni jacket and Yaw longyi, obviously rather self-consciously and in demonstration of his nationalist sympathies,” stated the resultant police report; “He seems, possibly not without reason, to think that some Government officers reGard such clothes with disapproval.” MaunG Ba Bwa was brouGht in for questioninG followinG the storminG of the ShwedaGon by British and Indian police, when Gurkhas “desecrated the paGoda by rushing up the steps with their boots on.” In the ensuinG fracas, which pitted monks aGainst such colonial aGents of ‘order,’ a Burmese civilian was killed. The scholar- official J. S. Furnivall, who presided over an independent commission of inquiry into the police response, would also pin his diaGnosis of Maung Ba Bwa’s political orientation on his wardrobe. His pinni jacket and his longyi, the commission reported, were proof positive of his “nationalist sentiment.”1 Wearing your politics on your sleeve By the early 1920s, in a climate where speakinG out or publishinG critiques of colonialism saw some younG monks and other activists jailed for years, increasinG numbers of Burmese civilians -- like MaunG Ba Bwa -- chose to express their political leaninGs in their dress.

  • Sports in Pre-Modern and Early Modern Siam: Aggressive and Civilised Masculinities
    Sports in Pre-Modern and Early Modern Siam: Aggressive and Civilised Masculinities Charn Panarut A thesis submitted in fulfilment of The requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology and Social Policy Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney 2018 Statement of Authorship This dissertation is the copyrighted work of the author, Charn Panarut, and the University of Sydney. This thesis has not been previously submitted for any degree or other objectives. I certify that this thesis contains no documents previously written or published by anyone except where due reference is referenced in the dissertation itself. i Abstract This thesis is a contribution to two bodies of scholarship: first, the historical understanding of the modernisation process in Siam, and in particular the role of sport in the gradual pacification of violent forms of behaviour; second, one of the central bodies of scholarship used to analyse sport sociologically, the work of Norbert Elias and Eric Dunning on sport and the civilising process. Previous studies of the emergence of a more civilised form of behaviour in modern Siam highlight the imitation of Western civilised conducts in political and sporting contexts, largely overlooking the continued role of violence in this change in Siamese behaviour from the pre- modern to modern periods. This thesis examines the historical evidence which shows that, from around the 1900s, Siamese elites engaged in deliberate projects to civilise prevalent non-elites’ aggressive conducts. This in turn has implications for the Eliasian understanding of sports and civilising process, which emphasises their unplanned development alongside political and economic changes in Europe, at the expense of grasping the deliberate interventions of the Siamese elites.
