  • Incendiary Central: the Spatial Politics of the May 2010 Street Demonstrations in Bangkok Sophorntavy Vorng
    Urbanities, Vol. 2 · No 1 · May 2012 © 2012 Urbanities Incendiary Central: The Spatial Politics of the May 2010 Street Demonstrations in Bangkok Sophorntavy Vorng (Independent Anthropologist, Bangkok) [email protected] In May 2010, anti-government demonstrators made a flaming inferno of the CentralWorld Plaza – Thailand’s biggest, and Asia’s second largest, shopping mall. It was the climax of the latest major chapter of the Thai political conflict, during which thousands of protestors swarmed Ratchaprasong, the commercial centre of Bangkok, in an ultimately failed attempt to oust Abhisit Vejjajiva’s regime from power. In this article, I examine how downtown Bangkok and exclusive malls like CentralWorld represent physical and cultural spaces from which the marginalized working classes have been strikingly excluded. It is a configuration of space that maps the contours of a heavily uneven distribution of power and articulates a vernacular of prestige wherein class relations are inscribed in urban space. The significance of the Red-Shirted movement’s occupation of Ratchaprasong lies in the subversion of this spatialisation of power and draws attention to the symbolic deployment of space in the struggle for political supremacy. Keywords: Bangkok, protest, space, class, politics, consumption, mall Introduction: The Burning Centre In late May 2010, billowing charcoal smoke rose from the Ratchaprasong district in central Bangkok, casting a dark pall over the sprawling city. Much of it came from the flaming inferno of the CentralWorld Plaza, Thailand’s biggest, and Southeast Asia’s second largest, shopping mall.1 What will likely become one of the most iconic images of the conflagration is a photo by Adrees Latif of Reuters featuring a huge golden head with the likeness of a female deity in a square in front of the mall, her eyes seemingly wide with surprise as a tattered Thai flag fluttered pitifully overhead and the 500.000 metre square complex blazed in the background (see Image 1).

  • Thailand's Internal Nation Branding
    Petra Desatova, Nordic Institute of Asian Studies CHAPTER 4: THAILAND’S INTERNAL NATION BRANDING In commercial branding, ambassadorship is considered a crucial feature of the branding process since customers’ perceptions of a product or a service are shaped through the contact with the employees who represent the brand. Many companies thus invest heavily into internal branding to make sure that every employee ‘lives the brand’ thereby boosting their motivation and morale and creating eager brand ambassadors.1 The need for internal branding becomes even more imperative when it comes to branding nations as public support is vital for the new nation brand to succeed. Without it, nation branding might easily backfire. For example, the Ukrainian government was forced to abandon certain elements of its new nation brand following fierce public backlash.2 The importance of domestic support, however, goes beyond creating a favourable public opinion on the new nation brand. As Aronczyk points out, the nation’s citizens need to ‘perform attitudes and behaviours that are compatible with the brand strategy’ should this strategy succeed. This is especially the case when the new nation brand does not fully reflect the reality on the ground as nation branding often produces an airbrushed version rather than a truthful reflection of the nation, its people, and socio-political and economic conditions. Although some scholars are deeply sceptical about governments’ ability to change citizens’ attitudes and behaviours through nation branding, we should not ignore such attempts.3 This chapter examines Thailand’s post-coup internal nation branding efforts in the education, culture, public relations and private sectors: what were the political motivations behind these efforts? I argue that the NCPO was using internally focused nation branding to diffuse virtue across Thai society in preparation for the post-Bhumibol era.

The spectrum of this genre of literature has several strands. It elucidates mystic concepts of spiritual elevation, provides the earliest exegesis of the hymns of Guru Nanak and illustrates the teachings of Guru Nanak by narrating interesting anecdotes. The most significant aspect of the Janamsakhi literature is that it has preserved the tradition of Guru Nanak’s life that became the primary source of information for all the writings on Guru Nanak. Of late the historical validity of this material has been called to question in the name of methodology.

  • Sikh History and Culture on the Net: Storytelling As an Innovative Medium
    IOSR Journal of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 25, Issue 9, Series 4 (September. 2020) 34-44 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Sikh History and Culture on the Net: Storytelling As An Innovative Medium Kulbir Kaur Assistant Professor Shyama Prasad Mukherji College Department of Sociology University of Delhi Abstract : This paper tries to explore the role of the age-old tradition of storytelling ( albeit in a new format available on the net ) in shaping the personality of the children and inculcating Sikh values among them and at the same time also acting as a medium to reinforce one‟s identity. An attempt has been made to understand the notion of „identity‟ and its interpretation through the use of Sakhis and in the process, glorifying the Sikh religion, history and culture but unconsciously, exposing the fears, crisis of the community as well. In the case of the Sikhs, „modernity‟ has emerged as the most dangerous form of the „Other‟ and the present crisis also seems to be related to the very definition of the term„Sikh‟. Who can be considered a true Sikh or, rather, a Sikh? The paper centres around the relationship between „the Word and the World‟( if I may use the title of Veena Das‟s book) or the understanding of social life through the prism of religion.
