Ontology of Rice

| Reflections on the Ontology of Rice Article by Jane R. Hanks from 1960 concerning a small rice-growing community in central Thailand, which has developed rituals associated with every step of growing the grain. Such rituals are monopolized by women, while the men do ordinary field work and rites, thus leaving women to assume such important roles. Thai people believe that living things contain a khwan, or spirit, which is indestructible. Initially sustained by breast milk from women, the khwan is then sustained by rice. Farmers believe that the whole of nature is protected by female guardian spirits. | Typescript

Entourage in Southern Thailand

| A pyramidal patronage system exists throughout much of Southeast Asia, in which the power of the leader to attract acolytes depends on individual relationships. Politicians gain acolytes through deals they make in return for co-operation. An acolyte of one leader may in turn become a leader of his own personal group.Social solidarity runs along hierarchic lines rather than in the typically layered group of equals. The poor seek protection from the well-placed, while the wealthy grow richer by investing in people rather than by amassing impersonal wealth. The entourage system thus appears as the cardinal principle for understanding social behavior. | Typescript
