| 関連情報 | Thailand’s King Bhumibol Aldulyadej passed away on 13 October 2016, after seven decades on the throne. He was the world’s longest serving head of state. The monarch was a Buddhist king and many understood him to be a divine being. He was also a political leader and a figure of great historic importance. Historian Matthew Phillips and anthropologist Edoardo Siani met, by chance, in Bangkok as they were both attending the rituals that followed the royal death. Their shared experience of said rituals forms the basis for a dialogue regarding how events may be studied from a multidisciplinary perspective. In this workshop, Phillips and Siani will discuss the relationship between ethnography and historical record as well as the process of jointly writing an ethnography, in an attempt to question our assumptions of what events are. 世界でも類のない70年という長きに渡り君臨したタイ国王ラーマ九世の崩御。この出来事を歴史家マシュー・フィリップスと人類学者エドアルド・シアニが、それぞれの専門的知見からのダイアログにより学際的に紐解いていく。 |
