The Winter of Folk Horror, Part 4: Eastern Folklore (Kwaidan, Itim, Nang Nak & Roh)

It's time to jump into Nicole's invisible jet, for an Asian adventure, as we're desperate to experience the horrors of eastern folklore! Our first stop is an ANTHOLOGY DEATHMATCH in Japan! Vengeful hair, a mysterious woman, a blind musician, and some spooky tea, go head to head to see who reigns supreme in the classic, Kwaidan (1964)! Wow, I think that we're getting kind of tired of winter, though. Let's go someplace a little warmer, okay? We'll jump ahead to Holy Week in the Philippines, where there probably aren't any spirits of the dead possessing their living family members. Oh, I'm sorry, that's exactly what happens in Itim (1976). Then we may as well stop in Thailand, where some spouses are so loyal, that they just want to hang around, even when they're ghosts. Such is the sad case in Nang Nak (1999). And then from there, it's time for a visit to the jungles of Malaysia, where a little family is doing just fine. Until these devilish strangers keep showing up at their doorstep. And before they can do anything about it, their souls just may be in jeopardy, in Roh (2019).

On a suggestion from listener Emily, Greg and Ed go back to basics with book and movie recommendations for people new to Thailand and Southeast Asia, or old-timers looking to refresh their knowledge after being disconnected during all this covid hullabaloo. Ed begins with three foundational books: the all-time classic ‘Lonely Planet Thailand,' written by friend of the podcast Joe Cummings, the insightful (if a bit outdated) ‘Culture Shock: Thailand,' and the super creative ‘Very Thai,' by Phillip Cornwall-Smith (not to mention his followup ‘Very Bangkok'). Greg follows with his own key recommendations, including ‘The Thai Book' by Ron Morris and  ‘A History of Thailand' by Chris Baker and Pasuk Phongpaichit. Ed concurs and also puts a word in for ‘Thailand: A Short History,' by David K. Wyatt. Turning to movies, Ed notes that all foreigners interested in Thai culture should see the ghost film ‘Nang Nak,' which relates possibly the most popular story in all of Thai pop culture. For some history perspective, Francis Ford Coppola's cut of ‘Suriyothai' is a good place to start, but seeing some version of the famous (partly fictional) story ‘The King and I' is probably a good idea. To appreciate the Thai fascination with animism and experience Thailand's most accredited filmmaker, check out ‘Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall HIs Past Lives', by the filmmaker whose name only Greg can pronounce (that'd be Apichatpong Weerasethakul). In closing, the guys make a few final suggestions. To learn about the man who has shaped modern Thai politics (for better or worse), read ‘Thaksin' by Chris Baker, or grab ‘Anand Panyarachun and the Making of Modern Thailand' by Dominic Faulder for a look at another legendary figure. Greg concludes by suggesting the under-appreciated film ‘City of Ghosts' with Matt Dillon, a crime thriller set in Cambodia and Thailand.  These recommendations likely won't shock anyone, but you gotta start somewhere, and this is it. Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks. And we'll keep our Facebook, Twitter, and LINE accounts active so you can send us comments, questions, or whatever you want to share.

Since the late 1990s Thai cinema has come to global attention with movies like the famous ghost film, Nang Nak, and more recently the evocative films of director Aphichatpong Weerasethakul, who won a Palme D'Or award at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival. A perennially popular theme in Thai cinema is that of haunting by a female ghost. In this unique, unusual book, Ghostly Desires: Queer Sexuality and Vernacular Buddhism in Contemporary Thai Cinema (Duke University Press, 2016), Arnika Fuhrmann hones in on this ghostly theme in contemporary Thai cinema to explore the subjects of female desire and queer sexuality. In doing so she raises questions about a central concept in Queer Theory: the nature of desire. Fuhrmann identifies a tension between Western liberal and everyday Thai Buddhist understandings of desire. Arguably, Buddhist teaching about desire is one factor that has contributed to Thailand's reputation for being a “queer-friendly” country. Indeed, it is even marketed as a “gay paradise”. But the reality is not quite so simple, especially for women in same-sex relationships. Fuhrmann's Ghostly Desires also addresses the issue of the subtle regulation of heteronormative sexuality, “Thai-style”. Listeners to this episode might also enjoy listening to: Justin Thomas McDaniel, The Lovelorn Ghost and the Magical Monk: Practicing Buddhism in Modern Thailand (Columbia University Press, 2011)Martin Joseph Ponce, Beyond the Nation: Diasporic Filipino Literature and Queer Reading (NYU Press, 2012)Patrick Jory teaches Southeast Asian History in the School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry at the University of Queensland.
