Reconciliation of Natural Resources in Indonesia
The Mystery of the Almost Disappearing Naga
What might the precarious persistence of the naga in Bangkok’s critical zones illuminate about entangled relations of capitalist urbanisation, migration, environmental degradation, and speculative world-renewal? Drawing on ethnographic encounters with naga shrines, urban infrastructures, and Isan migrants in the city, I investigate how the naga, once deeply rooted in the water cosmologies of Thailand’s rural regions, has become an occupant of div…
Atmospheric Zomia
This engagement revisits Willem van Schendel’s (2002) and James C. Scott’s (2009) depiction of Zomia under Anthropocene conditions. Zomia is a vast area of 2.5 million square kilometers, where approximately 100 million minority people lives. Historically, these ethnic groups have relied on altitude and the friction of the terrain to escape the authority of modern states and remain ungoverned. Since the late-nineteenth century, however, the area h…
Rewilding Bangkok
Bangkok is a tropical metropolis subject to many human and nonhuman transformations. While Covid‐19 raged, the city's mix of precarity and oppression gave rise to a youth protest movement that opposed the junta government and sought to intervene in Thai politics‐as‐usual. At the same time, a rewilding experiment aimed at undoing environmental damage quietly was unfolding in Benjakitti Urban Forest Park. We draw on science and technology studies (…

The aim of the peer reviewed journal is to provide subscribers with up to date and in-depth analysis of critical trends and developments in Southeast Asia and the wider Asia-Pacific region.…
Bangkok Precipitated
Bangkok often floods. This paper examines the effects of city deluge as a result of urban assemblage: complex, distributed and disjunctive relations between the city’s amphibious ecologies and landscapes, its dilapidated drainage infrastructure, its varied transport systems, its weather patterns, and the movements of people. During cloudbursts, many of Bangkok’s missing masses become plainly and frustratingly, visible. Using ethnographic descript…
Infrastructure in the Making
The article explores the process behind the construction of the Chao Phraya Dam, the first World Bank-funded water infrastructure project in Thailand, developed during the 1950s. Employing Andrew Pickering's ‘dance of agency’ concept in examining the process of turning financial and technical assistance into a workable project, I argue that development infrastructure, like the Chao Phraya Dam, provides a space to explore the dialectic operations …
An Assemblage of Thai Water Engineering
In Thailand, where water and land intertwine to shape the livelihood and identity of people, engineering bureaucracy and mechanical technology have both played significant roles in producing national ideology. At the same time, bureaucracy and technologies are historical products. In this contribution, I explore Thailand’s Royal Irrigation Department (RID) Museum for Heavy Engineering and argues that the museum—instantiating a parliament of thing…
