On Ghostly Desires: Queer Sexuality and Vernacular Buddhism in Contemporary Thai Cinema
Through an examination of post-1997 Thai cinema and video art Arnika Fuhrmann shows how vernacular Buddhist tenets, stories, and images combine with sexual politics in figuring current struggles over notions of personhood, sexuality, and collective life. The drama, horror, heritage, and experimental art films she analyzes draw on Buddhist-informed conceptions of impermanence and prominently feature the motif of the female ghost. In these films th…

Somewhere over the rainbow’: Global projections/local allusions in Tears of the Black Tiger / Fa thalai jone
When director Wisit Sasanatieng's retro cowboy flick Fa thalai jone (2000) became the first Thai film to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2001, under the English-language title Tears of the Black Tiger, Thai cinema seemed to have truly 'gone international'. This paper examines the striking disparity, however, in the reception of the film by local and global audiences, to the extent that Fa thalai jone and Tears of the Black Tiger mi…

This paper investigates the sexually explicit nature of Thidaa's fiction and the multiple meanings that erotic references might hold
The Son of a Javanese: A Short Story
The Second World War had long since come and gone. Hitler was dead. General MacArthur was dead. And who would have thought that the impact of this war would continue to cause a friend of mine so much suffering? He had never been in the army. Nor did he resemble the dashing Japanese soldier 'Gobori', the doomed hero of Tomayantii's novel The fated couple, who falls in love with a local Thai woman and finally meets his death.2 He told me once that …
The Son of a Javanese’: Translating and Positioning Luuk Chaai Khon Chawaa in a Comparative Literary Frame
This paper provides a commentary on a short story by the Thai writer Paitoon Thanya, Luuk chaai khon chawaa, an English translation of which precedes the paper. It sets the author in his socio-political context, in particular in the context of the political turmoil of the period 1973–76, the subsequent departure of Bangkok radicals for the jungle, and then, towards the close of the 1970s, their growing disillusionment with the communist movement.…
Understanding Languages of Modernization: A Southeast Asian View

Post-developmentalists have been at the forefront of a re-examination of the languages of development and developmentalism. Arturo Escobar, for example, states that his desire is to analyze 'regimes of discourse and representation' (1995: 10). Jonathan Crush is s…
