Cognation and Social Organization in Southeast Asia
The Dialectics of Village and State in Modern Thailand
In selecting the “village community” as focus for an analysis of the social organization of relations between agents of the state and its subjects I bridge two distinct and sometimes contradictory themes. The first is the manner in which social connections within the countryside and with the state are handled in practice. The second is the way the concepts of “community” and, more specifically, “village community” are used to represent and someti…
Peasants and Cities
The Thai peasant village community is an ideological construct rather than an empirical reality. Failure to recognize this has resulted in a reification and objectivization of rural social organization both past and present. It has also supported a number of false dichotomies such as between peasants and cities which distort the real nature of relationships. The paper examines the background to the application of these ideas with reference to the…
Strategies and Structures in Thai Society
Kinship and the management of personal relations
This article explores the relationship between kinship terminologies and the management of personal relations, focusing on the "axiom of amity." Kemp argues that kin terms, while seemingly fixed categories, are actively manipulated by individuals to negotiate social interactions and achieve desired outcomes. He examines how the inherent ambiguity in kin classifications allows for flexibility in defining relationships, enabling individuals to invo…
Legal and Informal Land Tenures in Thailand
All too often the study of land tenure in agrarian states is treated either as a dimension of economic organization or, with respect to its more specifically formal characteristics, as pertaining to the sphere of law. With both approaches there is the danger of ignoring or at least underplaying the fact that the formulation and regulation of tenural arrangements is an expression of the political order of society. Paradoxically, familiarity with t…
Cognatic descent and the generation of social stratification in Southeast Asia
Anthropologists and other social scientists have long been fascinated by the intricacies of Indian culture and society. Consequently it seems surprising that they have given relatively little attention to the tradi tional states of South-East Asia which, with the exception of Viet Nam, maintained and developed an essentially Indian cultural tradition albeit in a very different setting. In this paper I discuss a number of issues concerning the sig…
