SUMMARY:(Re)assembling the Moments of Thai-European Encounters in History
LOCATION:Room 1.403
DESCRIPTION:The Thai-European encounters have been viewed as historical eve
 nts subjected to certain discourses. The encounters themselves have been co
 nsidered under discursive practices conditioned by human agencies. While th
 is approach may have helped clear-up the confusion on the “ambiguous” appea
 rance of the modern Thai self, it has not explained much the material aspec
 ts of the moments of encounters. When the Thai agents encounter Europe, wha
 t kind of social order and relation is re-created, and how does this newly 
 created social order and relation affect the state of being of the Thai age
 nt? The papers presented in this panel propose to re-evaluate the conceptua
 l status of the Thai-European encounters in history by examining the histor
 ical events from the ontological point of view focusing on the material rel
 ations and organisations. The papers draw on differing accounts starting at
  the beginning of the 20th century, when Siamese authorities and Intelligen
 tsias travelled to Europe with the explicit goal of establishing state rela
 tions, and receiving western educations, to the Cold War era when a group o
 f new Thai middle class came to Europe as students and as political exiles,
  and to the more contemporary religious encounters and the globally migrati
 ng working class. Through these various historical moments and various cont
 exts of Thai-European encounters, the panel hopes to create a new critical 
 lens that can be used to understand the cultural encounters in the broader 
 area of Southeast Asian studies.
