  • Anna and the King: Digesting Difference
    Anna and the king: digesting difference Penny Van Esterik Abstract: This paper explores the relationship between food and national identity in ancient Siam and modern Thailand, as represented in the texts and films linked to Anna Leonowens, particularly Anna and the King and The King and I. While the fictional romantic relationship between the Indo–British governess and King Mongkut (Rama IV) has been critically analysed, little attention has been paid to the state banquet organ- ized by the king. In 1860s Siam, state banquets provided an opportunity to demonstrate the civilized status of the Siamese monarch, and hence the kingdom. Developing and building on the concepts of political commensality and culinary colonialism, the paper explores the importance of demonstrating civility through food. Keywords: state banquets; colonialism; nutritional anthropology; Western film performance; Siam Many readers have no doubt seen one or more of the films, Anna and the King of Siam (1946), The King and I (1956) and Anna and the King (1999), and it is equally likely that many readers have eaten some variety of Thai food. This paper draws these two experiences together by discussing the state banquet depicted in the texts and films related to Anna Leonowens’s diaries of her years in Bangkok (1862–67). To do this, I will look briefly at 1850s and 60s Siam during the reign of King Mongkut (Rama IV, r 1851–68), and then examine the textual and film representations of that historical period in twentieth century Thailand. History and its representations – we choose our fictions. For Westerners who have never visited Thailand, their image of the country may well come from seeing The King and I on stage or screen.

  • Debating Anna: the Textual Politics of English Literature Teaching in Thailand
    TRI04046 Debating Anna: The Textual Politics of English Literature Teaching in Thailand Pornsawan Tripasai Faculty of Education Monash University Email: [email protected] Abstract Before the era of the no-frontiers globalised world, Thailand was made known to the Western world by the story of Anna, a dutiful English teacher, and Mongkut, a Siamese king. In the story, Thailand is portrayed as an exotic country ruled by a despotic monarch and populated by barbaric people. Anna comes to this primitive land to teach English language to the royal family and to induct them into the sophisticated English culture. This paper offers a textual analysis of Anna Leonowens’ nineteenth- century narrative about Thailand using Said’s concept of Orientalist discourse to explore the cultural politics of this text. The paper goes beyond the nineteenth- century context to examine the influence of English in the contemporary globalised world where Thailand, as a member of the global community, is subjected to the dominance of English language. This paper will cast light on the teaching of English as a form of neo- colonialism. The representational strategies employed in the story of Anna situate the people of Thailand as the marginal Others. The story becomes an allegory that reveals the hegemonic control of English over Thai people. I shall also argue, however, the possibility of resisting its textual strategies and developing other ways of reading the text. Introduction At the macro level of the contemporary global community, English is a necessary tool for business and communication among nations. English has also become increasingly important for countries wishing to be part of a global network of business and communication.

  • TITOLO Anna and the King REGIA Andy Tennant INTERPRETI Jodie Foster, Yun-Fat Chow, Ling Bai, Tom Felton, Keith Chin, Syed Alwi GENERE Romantico DURATA 140 Min
    TITOLO Anna and the King REGIA Andy Tennant INTERPRETI Jodie Foster, Yun-Fat Chow, Ling Bai, Tom Felton, Keith Chin, Syed Alwi GENERE Romantico DURATA 140 min. - Colore PRODUZIONE USA - 1999 Nel 1862 Anna Leonowens, insegnante inglese da poco vedova, arriva nel Siam insieme al figlio adolescente. A Bangkok accetta di fare da precettrice ai 58 figli di re Mongkut, alla moglie ufficiale, alle concubine. “Quando una donna che ha cosi tanto da dire tace, il suo silenzio puo' essere assordante” Siamo in piena epoca vittoriana: l'insegnante inglese Anna Leonowens (il premio Oscar Jodie Foster, vista di recente in "Contact") viene chiamata dal re del Siam Mongkut (Chow Yun Fat, visto in "The corruptor" e "Costretti ad uccidere") ad istruire i suoi cinquantotto figli. Anna sa ben poco di questo sovrano, a parte il fatto che il popolo lo venera come un dio; giunta in Siam con una serie di preconcetti sul mondo orientale, si dovrà scontrare con Mongkut, che disapprova l'occidente e soprattutto questa impertinente inglese. Ma con il passare del tempo Anna e il Re cominciano a trovare diversi punti in comune. Lei capisce che Mongkut è un uomo di grandi ideali che agisce solo nell'interesse del suo paese affinché il Siam possa trovare la giusta collocazione nel mondo moderno, ed il re non fatica a capire che Anna brilla di una luce che illumina non solo lui e la sua famiglia, ma l'intera nazione. Girato in Malesia (il Governo tailandese non ha concesso alla produzione di girare entro i confini) dal regista Andy Tennant (autore di "La leggenda di un amore: Cinderella") il film è tratto da una storia vera ed è stato fatto con dovizia di particolari.
