The purpose of this preliminary research is to set an agenda for a future collaborative project by discussing the possible role of cultural history in 21st century Thai society. As researchers from various fields participate, this research will create broad and beneficial networks.<\/p>\n
This research is an attempt to set an agenda for a future collaborative project by discussing the possible role of cultural history in Thai society today, and will provide a rare opportunity for researchers from various fields (i.e. political history, intellectual history, cultural history, architectural history, film history, Buddhist studies, archaeology, anthropology and literature) to exchange information and opinions.<\/p>\n
During the fiscal year 2014, the research group aims at compiling and publishing \u201cA Chronological Table of Thai Cultural History.\u201d There are a few reliable chronologies of Thai political and economic history already published in several languages. Meanwhile, chronologies with a broad perspective including socio-cultural events in Thailand are yet to be made aside from a couple of exceptions in the Thai language. Therefore, our work will have considerable academic and social impact, and provide a basic ground to consider \u2018Thai Cultural History in the 21st Century.\u2019<\/p>\n
In addition, we are planning a new joint research project on Kingship, the relationship between politics and religion, and public space in Thailand by focusing on the socio-cultural history of Sanam Luang (the Royal Field).<\/p>\n
These attempts noted above have seldom been done in Thai studies in Japan, and should be considered as an exploratory research project.<\/p>\n
