Based on the ethno-symbolist approach to the study of nationalism, this thesis proposes to see the Thai nation as a result of a long process, reflecting the three-phases-model (ethnie , pre-modem and modem nation) for the potential development of a nation as outlined by Anthony Smith.

    Review article on Jeremias van Vliet, The Short History of the Kings of Siam, JSS LXIV, 2 (July 1976), pp. 207-236. Jeremias van Vliet, The Short History of the Kings of Siam, translated by Leonard Andaya from a transcription by Miriam J Verkuijl-van den Berg, edited by David K Wyatt, Bangkok, The Siam Society, 1975 iv, 97 pp. For a number of years historians concerned with early Ayutthaya have been aware that a chronicle version older than anything else extant had been compiled in Dutch by the early 17th-century VOC representative in Ayutthaya, Jeremias van Vliet, and its publication has been eagerly awaited for light it might shed on points which remain obscure in other texts. Now The Siam Society has provided in very attractive format a transcription of van Vliet’s original text with an English translation and a certain number of notes on the historiographic problems of the text and its relationship to other sources1. Van Vliet’s chronicle begins with a very interesting version of the history of the peninsula and lower Menam basin before the founding of Ayutthaya. Here van Vliet relates several stories which were current concerning the first king of Siam in ancient times - that he was a son of a Chinese emperor and had come to the peninsula abut 2000 years before, that he was a brahman named Phrommathep, and that Siam was founded by the Buddha himself. A long time later, about 300 years before van Vliet’s day, another son of a Chinese ruler, Chao Ui, arrived on the peninsula and became the Thao U Thong who founded Ayutthaya.

  • 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.

Straddling the Chao Phraya River, the nation’s principal waterway, the province is extremely important, as it was the Siamese capital for four centuries. The city of Ayutthaya is 76 km. north of Bangkok and boasts numerous magnificent ruins from its days as the capital. Just to the south, in perfect condition, stands the royal palace of Bang Pa-in set in splendid gardens. The province is also noted for H.M. the Queen’s Bang Sai Arts and Crafts Centre. The ancient city of Ayutthaya, formally designated Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya was the Thai capital for 417 years, and is one of Thailand’s major tourist attractions. Many ancient ruins and art works can be seen in a city that was founded in 1350 by King U-Thong when the Thais were forced southwards by northern neighbours. During the period when Ayutthaya was capital, 33 kings and several dynasties ruled the kingdom, until the glittering city was sacked by the Burmese in 1767, ruined and abandoned. The extensive ruins and the historical records demonstrate that Ayutthaya was one of Southeast Asia’s most prosperous cities.

    1. Contexto histórico: el reino de Ayutthaya. Según las crónicas, la ciudad de Ayutthaya fue fundada por U-Thong el día 4 de marzo de 1350. El emplazamiento no fue casual, era una gran isla circular en medio de un gran río, él rey ordenó a sus tropas establecerse allí.

Para los antiguos el agua que rodeaba la ciudad Principales complejos de la ciudad de Ayutthaya. representaba el Gran Océano de la mitología hindú y la propia urbe el monte Meru o lugar de residencia de los dioses de esa religión. Posteriores obras hidráulicas convirtieron realmente a Ayutthaya en una isla y la llenaron de canales tanto que algunos visitantes occidentales la comparaban con Venecia. Además del agua la ciudad estaba circundada por una gran muralla defendida por dieciséis fuertes. En el interior un gran número de monasterios budistas y de palacios diseminados hoy por varias zonas de la ciudad moderna hablan de su pasado esplendor. La segunda mitad del siglo XIV fue la etapa de formación y expansión, la ciudad se convirtió en el centro de un gran imperio que en el año 1431 llegó a derrotar y a someter a la 1 anteriormente todopoderosa Angkor. Las bases de ese poder se basan en una rica agricultura y un próspero comercio que atrae mercaderes de Oriente y Occidente.

  • Chapter Eight Monuments, Mediums & the Municipality: Constructing
    Chapter Eight Monuments, Mediums & the Municipality: Constructing Chineseness and Sacred Space in Hat Yai “No need to go to Phuket, no need to go to Trang.” A PA laden pickup repeatedly blared out this message as it followed a parade of palanquin‐ borne deities and spirit mediums through the streets of Hat Yai during the 2001 Vegetarian Festival, a ritual event which has long been practised by the Chinese of peninsular Southeast Asia but has in recent years been gaining wider popularity. The procession was organised by the Thep Na Ja shrine and run by a native of Phuket who had moved to Hat Yai several years before. It featured the kinds of spectacular self‐mortification and other ‘superhuman’ feats performed by spirit mediums that have become the notorious hallmarks of the Vegetarian Festivals held in Phuket and Trang. Hat Yai, despite its overwhelmingly Chinese population and character, has no such long association with the Festival. In fact such spectacular public displays can only be traced back a few years. Nonetheless, the PA announcement listed the full gamut of ritual performances that would take place: bladed‐bridge and ladder climbing, bathing in boiling oil, walking on hot coals, piercing and other forms of self‐mortification. While such performances are inherently ‘theatrical’ in nature, they are also aspects of worship. This announcement thus promised more than an upcoming spectacle; it also announced a new location for the authentic worship of the Nine Emperor Gods, the deities at the centre of the Festival. Such activity set Hat Yai in direct competition with the established Festivals of Phuket and Trang, promising a complete and authentic transplantation of the Festival experience, both sensory and sacred, to this new location.
