We interpret their quest for visibility as a\u0000 ‘subaltern tactic’ employed to reverse an asymmetry of power through\u0000 an aesthetics of indignation at the injustice perpetrated against peaceful\u0000 demonstrators.

To critique these droned hierarchies, I\u0000 draw upon Jacques Rancière’s conception of the ‘politics of aesthetics’ to\u0000 address independent Thai cinema as a regime of ‘fictionality’ where the\u0000 personalization of protest returns.
