Abstract

Abstract:This article is concerned with the study of three manners-related cultural artefacts produced and circulated during the 1950s in Thailand. Together, these artefacts capture, literally and visually, a proposal for ideal manners for the emerging Thai urban middle class. The article argues for the recognition of everyday commodities in the accumulation and display of good manners, emphasizing the moment of unification between the embodied and the objectified states of cultural capital. In so doing, the article highlights the link between manners and consumer capitalism. It also discusses how the imposition of Thai morality on modern consumption was instrumental in effecting politico-economic change in that era.
礼仪作为20世纪50年代泰国的文化资本:对圣·t·科莫拉布特拉著作中的三件文化文物的研究
摘要:本文对泰国20世纪50年代生产和流通的三种与礼仪有关的文物进行了研究。总之,这些艺术品从字面上和视觉上都为新兴的泰国城市中产阶级提出了理想的礼仪建议。文章主张在文明礼仪的积累和展示中承认日常商品,强调文化资本的物化状态和物化状态统一的时刻。通过这样做,文章强调了礼仪与消费资本主义之间的联系。它还讨论了泰国道德对现代消费的强加是如何影响那个时代的政治经济变革的。
