| 摘要 | The main objective of this research article is to analyze the depiction of Buddhism and otherness in Thai films from 1997 to 2017. The 5 films selected for discussion by using textual analysis approach are: Nang Nak (Nonzee Nimibutr, 1999), Mekhong Full Moon Party (Jira Maligool, 2002), OK Baytong (Nonzee Nimibutr, 2003), Pee Mak (Banjong Pisanthanakun, 2013) and Wandering (Boonsong Nakphoo, 2016). This study offers the following key points. 1) In most of these films, women are represented as “the other” of Thai Buddhism. As monks hold the highest status in Thai Buddhist culture, it seems that most Thai Buddhists are under the sway of the belief that “Women are an enemy to the life of purity”. 2) Otherness is, in itself, a form of cultural violence which can be used to justify or legitimize direct and/or structural violence. And 3) Communication can be the key for mitigating otherness as it can help prevent conflicts and increases the chances of possible understanding of others. |
