Thai BL is distinctive in its encouragement of both on- and off-screen intimacy among actors. This paper examines Chinese fans’ engagement with Thai BL dramas, highlighting how their participation in “shipping” and “fan service” practices creates a “hyperre…

Carnivalesque communities
This paper explores how Thai television dramas, which have been a staple of the nation's TV landscape for many decades, have made new inroads in mainland China. Despite intense censorship by the Chinese state, China's extremely large market enticed the Thai media industry. Control over what citizens can see on websites has also created an obstacle for which fan communities must find ways to bypass. The paper outlines both the historical process o…

Thai Television Dramas, a New Player in Asian Media Circulation
Forever transnational
Over the past two decades, northern Thailand has experienced a massive influx of Shan ethnic nationals from Myanmar migrating to escape economic hardship and political conflicts at home. Myanmar's recent reforms raise the question of whether these migrants will return.

The Radio and the Non-Citizen Public Sphere
The recent influx of Shan migrants from Myanmar into the city of Chiang Mai, Thailand, provides the conditions for migrant public spheres to emerge. This paper explores aspects of mass-mediated forms of Shan migrant public spheres by focusing on two Shan-language radio stations, one state-run and the other a community station. While much of the literature on public spheres emphasizes the role of the media in allowing citizens to express and publi…
Buddhist Holy Man Khruba Bunchum
The study of holy men active in Thailand, Laos and Myanmar between the seventeenth and the twentieth centuries has associated them primarily with millenarian movements. In the twenty-first century, the Thailand–Myanmar border has seen the emergence of a holy man to whom the concept of millenarianism is, in the current changing religious environment, not applicable. Khruba Bunchum, a contemporary Thai monk with a significant ethnic minority follow…

It tells the stories of Shan ethnic nationals from Burma who crossed the border to seek their fortune in Thailand but ended up in Thai prisons for drug-related crimes. The paper links the prison with the notion of displacement, trying to un…

It argues that Shan insurgency today has moved into a new phase characterised by its intense involvement with mass media. The paper examines, on the production side, the Shan insurgency's media products and its networking with the Thai press. On the reception s…
Shan Noises, Burmese Sound
This paper examines how ethnic Shan singers use the Burmese language to redefine their own ethnic identity, in the process helping to construct Shans' place in the Burmese national imaginary. The paper focuses on the songs of two Shan artists, Sai Htee Saing and Sai Sai Mao. These two singers have been singing in Burmese for three decades. Both have gained nationwide popularity and are now among the most famous singers in Burma's music industry. …
