'So Hydous Was The Noyse': Forgetting The 1381 Rebellion In Geoffrey Chaucer's The Nun's Priest's Tale, Rawitawan Sophonpanich Jan 2020

'So Hydous Was The Noyse': Forgetting The 1381 Rebellion In Geoffrey Chaucer's The Nun's Priest's Tale, Rawitawan Sophonpanich

Journal of Letters

Since the medieval period, memory has been considered a site of identity formation and an important cultural force. Forgetting, on the other hand, has been dismissed because it seems impossible to study or recover what has already been forgotten. This study argues to the contrary. I focus on forgetting as a significant cultural practice, allowing the ruling classes and social institutions to perpetuate ideologies and manipulate how history is represented. In so arguing, I choose one of the most renowned events in medieval England as the subject of my study, which is the Peasants' Revolt of 1381. This Rebellion has …

Teaching cultural studies in the field of German as a Foreign Language in Thailand tends to focus on providing information and facts about the geography, political-administrative systems and cultural issues of the Federal Republic of Germany. This approach doesn't conform with current trends in learning and teaching cultural studies in the wider academic community of German as a Foreign Language, which place more emphasis on the culture of German speaking countries. This article discusses a theoretical framework in relation to learning and teaching about the cultures of German speaking countries, and investigates the possibilities and limitations of the tangible application …

Journal of Letters

This research compares the characteristics of the New Woman with traditional female characters in educational, economic, social, and cultural contexts. The eponymous New Woman in Prissana by V. Na Pramuanmarg is compared with the New Women, Evadne, Angelica and Beth, in two English novels: The Heavenly Twins and The Beth Book by Sarah Grand. The research has found that Prissana's character is completely different from traditional female characters because of her intelligence and education abroad, which cultivated her self-confidence and personal aptitudes. These qualities coincide with those of the English New Woman characters. The comparison shows that Prissana, Evadne, Angelica, …


Adjectives As A Word Class In Arabic: A Linguistic Analysis.(หมวดคําคุณศัพท์ในภาษาอาหรับ: การวิเคราะห์ตามแนวภาษาศาสตร์), Dulyawit Naknawa Jan 2020

Adjectives As A Word Class In Arabic: A Linguistic Analysis.(หมวดคําคุณศัพท์ในภาษาอาหรับ: การวิเคราะห์ตามแนวภาษาศาสตร์), Dulyawit Naknawa

Journal of Letters

Traditional Arabic grammar divides Arabic words into 3 categories: nouns, verbs and prepositions. Adjectives are not a traditional word class, but realized as syntactic positions in sentences, an approach which is followed in practice. However, the researcher proposes that adjectives should be considered a distinct word class separate from nouns. This is based on various evidence, such as typology, morphology and syntax. In certain contexts, adjectives can appear instead of nouns or eventually decategorize to noun but this does not mean that Arabic should have no adjective category.(ไวยากรณ์อาหรับดั้งเดิมแบ่งประเภทของคําในภาษาอาหรับออกเป็น 3 หมวดได้แก่ คํานาม กริยา และบุพบท ในส่วนของมโนทัศน์คุณศัพท์ไม่ใช่ประเภทของหมวดคํา แต่เป็นตําแหน่งทางวากยสัมพันธ์ในประโยค แนวทางดังกล่าวยึดเป็นแนวปฏิบัติจนถึงปัจจุบัน อย่างไรก็ดี ผู้เขียนจึงขอนําเสนอว่า คําคุณศัพท์เป็นหมวดคําหนึ่งที่แยกออกมาจากคํานาม โดยพิจารณาจากหลักฐานหลายประการ …


A Study On The Cultural Development Of Korea Towards Thailand Through The New Southern Policy, Kamon Butsaban Jan 2020

A Study On The Cultural Development Of Korea Towards Thailand Through The New Southern Policy, Kamon Butsaban

Journal of Letters

Korea's current administration introduced the New Southern Policy in 2017, with the aim of creating a "people-centered community of peace and prosperity" between Korea and the ASEAN countries. Thailand is a central hub for Korea to strengthen and expand its regional soft power, and is the largest market for Korean culture, as represented by the Korean Wave or Hallyu. However, despite these close ties between Thailand and Korea, economic cooperation between the two countries has remained stagnant compared to other ASEAN countries. In this context, this paper analyzes the New Southern Policy in Thailand and its cultural implications. Specifically, it …

Fashion And Social Status: A Classic Formula Of The White Telephone Films During The Fascist Italy(แฟชั่นกับสถานภาพทางสังคม: สูตรสําเร็จของภาพยนตร์โทรศัพท์สีขาว ในยุคฟาสซิสต์อิตาลี), Pajaree Tachart

Journal of Letters

This article analyses the relationship between fashion, new Italian lifestyle and social mobility that constitute the classic formula of the Italian screwball comedy, the so-called "White Telephone Films", mainly produced during the second decade of the Fascist period. It focuses on three Italian films directed by Mario Camerini which are Darò un milione (1935), Il Signor Max (1937) and I Grandi Magazzini (1939). Since the mid-1930s, the Government of Benito Mussolini used this genre of Italian cinema as a political tool to manipulate public opinions and to make them accept or even agree with fascist policies. Therefore, the director had …

Geography is an interdisciplinary subject which can be divided into three areas: physical geography, human geography, and geographical techniques. Fieldwork is considered a crucial element of the fact-discovery process and a path to understanding relationships between the physical dimension and human activities. This paper has two objectives: first, to explore suitable geographical fieldwork sites; second, to create guidelines for geographical fieldwork activities. This paper conducted surveys as the main methodology. All 8 provinces across the East of Thailand were selected as the study area. These provinces are diverse in physical landforms and human activities. The results showed that 23 sites …


Lao Substratum Influence On The Ideophones Of Khorat Language(อิทธิพลภาษาพื้นเดิมลาวในคําอีดิโอโฟนภาษาโคราช), Thananan Trongdee Jan 2020

Lao Substratum Influence On The Ideophones Of Khorat Language(อิทธิพลภาษาพื้นเดิมลาวในคําอีดิโอโฟนภาษาโคราช), Thananan Trongdee

Journal of Letters

The origin of Khorat language has been a controversial issue among linguists. Three hypotheses are proposed. Firstly, Khorat is the result of the Yo system recoding to Bangkok Thai. Secondly, Khorat is a Lao dialect whose tones have been influenced by Central Thai. Thirdly, Khorat is a Lao dialect that has shifted to Thai but manifested Lao tone substratum. Most of the hypotheses, however, are based on phonological phenomena, especially the tone systems. In this article, evidence on category, structure and vocalic sound symbolism of ideophones in Khorat is proposed. It is found that some of the ideophone structures and …
