การเปลี่ยนแปลงบทบาททางการเมืองของศิลปินพื้นบ้านภาคใต้ : กรณีศึกษา นายหมุน อ่อนน้อม คณะหนังตะลุงหนังหมุนนุ้ย / ขนิษฐา สุขสง = The change of Southern folk artist's political role : a case study of Moon Onnom - a master of shadow play / kanittha Suksong
To study why a well-known master of Southern shadow play – Nang Moon Nui has made occasional changes of his political role as expressed in his political ideology, participation, and thought. It is found that the changes are attributable to two related factors, namely Nang Moon Nui’s personality and structural context. Their influence on his decision in each case varies. His conversion to socialism and affiliation with the Communist Party of Thailand, though mediated by their political situation, is mainly generated by his personality. On the contrary, Nang Moon Nui’s decision to join the party in the jungle likely results from the threatening circumstances and his self-adjustment for survival. Evidently Nang Moon Nui’s disagreement with the party’s policies and activism amid the changing political atmosphere is conducive to his turn around and participation in the military’s psychological operation against the Communist Party of Thailand.
