This article brings film/media theory into Southeast Asian research through a revisionist queer approach. It contains two goals: addressing some recent developments about queer imag(in)ing in Thai media whilst reappraising the fundamental question of spectatorship via screen theory. Taking into account the more general issue of media specificity and the particular textual device of identity/gender-switch in several recent Thai television serials,…
The Signifying Tomboy and the Thai TV Series Club Friday To Be Continued: She Changed
This article examines the representation of same-sex attracted women in contemporary Thai culture by using the television series Club Friday To Be Continued: She Changed (2016) as the prime example.

It suggests that the male falsetto in question can be understood as a multilayered “trans” figuration that comes into being in…
