ABSTRACT This research discusses the representation of slavery system in Thailand in Margaret Landon’s Anna and the King of Siam published in 1944. In this research there are two research questions. The first question is about how the slavery system is described in the novel. The second question is about how the impacts of slavery system abolishment in Thailand is described in the novel. This research is qualitative research. Documentary method is also used in this analysis. This research is analyzed by using Alan Swingewood’s sociology of literature theory. From the analysis, it can be concluded that Margaret Landon through the novel wants to show that Thailand is the only country in Southeast Asia which is never colonialized by colonizer, in fact the country is colonialized by themselves through the slavery system. The representation shows that the upper class can control someone by wealth and power. Keywords: Representation, Slavery System, Alan Swingewood, Sociology of Literature.

Chulalongkorn says, “Mem slavery system in Thailand in 1862.

  • The Borneo Company Limited Does
    Adventurous and entrepreneurial Englishmen known as the Wild Men of Borneo formed The Borneo Company Limited in 1856 (or 2399 according to the Thai solar calendar known as Suriyakati which counts from the year of the Buddha’s birth 543 years before Christ) initially to develop, or some say exploit, the natural resources of Borneo. The world’s third largest island at 290,000 square miles (750,000 square kilometers), Borneo is cradled by the Indonesian archipelago in the Java Sea. Over the company’s hundred plus years of existence, its activities extended to other islands in that archipelago now unified as Indonesia as well as the Malayan Peninsula, China and to the kingdom of Thailand, then known to foreigners as Siam. 137 Pillars House © First published in 2011.

  • 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.

Q Asbury TheoIogi@alSeminary 2009 Abst ract This dissertation is concerned with the meek approach in Christian witness in Thailand. This study develops an alternative approach of evangelism appropriate for use in Thailand by combining theoretical frameworks and models of intercultural communication. These theoretical frameworks intend to solve the problem of the Christian church in Thailand where Christian witness is viewed as having violated the cultural and religious values of reciprocity and harmony by its use of aggressive methods and is now deprived of the opportunity to initiate dialogue about the gospel. Criteria for locating meek or aggressive witnessing are derived from nine value clusters of the psychology of the Thai and eight cultural domains of Thais and Americans developed by Thai and American scholars.
