Commodifying Marxism
The Formation of Modern
Thai Radical Culture
by Kasian Tejapira
|
 |
Tejapira reveals the cultural and political interactions
resulting in a mutual transformation of exogenous Marxism and indigenous
Thai culture, from the introduction of Sino-Vietnamese communism during
the absolute monarchy of the 1920s to the 1950s when, under the military
regime, it emerged as a particularly Thai phenomenon. Marxism/communism
entered the post-war Thai cultural market through printed commodities,
whose demand, supply and reproduction followed the volatile and violent
tide of international and domestic events. It was paradoxically diffused
but dissolved by capitalist publishing, censored yet promoted by
anti-communist authoritarian regimes.
