Title: | Beyond syncretism: Hybridization of popular religion in contemporary Thailand | Authors: | Kitiarsa, P. | Issue Date: | Oct-2005 | Citation: | Kitiarsa, P. (2005-10). Beyond syncretism: Hybridization of popular religion in contemporary Thailand. Journal of Southeast Asian Studies 36 (3) : 461-487. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022463405000251 | Abstract: | This article challenges the dominant paradigm of 'inclusive syncretism' in the study of Thai religion. By taking the worship of multi-original deities in the popular spiritmedium cults in contemporary Thailand as a case study, it argues that practitioners and specialists working on Thai religious studies need to refresh and update their analytical paradigm to incorporate the concept of 'hybridization'. © 2005 The National University of Singapore. | Source Title: | Journal of Southeast Asian Studies | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/115611 | ISSN: | 00224634 | DOI: | 10.1017/S0022463405000251 |
