Crown, Caricatures and Critics, and other papers

Nicholas Farrelly - 07 Feb, 2008

Serhat ├Ьnaldi, a student from the Southeast Asian Studies program at Humboldt University in Berlin, has put together a neat website that includes a collection of papers about Thailand and Cambodia.

Papers include:

The Crown, Caricatures and Critics – Problems and Power of the Media Under a Constitutional Monarchy
Reconstructing Angkor – Images of the Past and Their Impact on Thai-Cambodian Relations (published in the series “S├╝dostasien Working Papers”)
Thailand Backstage – On the Performance of Thainess
Just Another Gay Movie? – A Brief Comparison of Mainstream and Alternative Thai Queer Film

More English and German language papers are available here. The author is also currently writing a thesis “which will be a comparison of kingship in Thailand and Spain and its influence on democratisation”. If the paper “Crown, Caricatures and Critics” is anything to go by then I expect this thesis will be well worth reading.
