Disturbing Conventions draws the study of Thai literature out of
the relative isolation that has to date impeded its participation
in the wider field of comparative and world literature.
Predominantly penned by Thai academics, the collection decentres
Thai literary studies in order to move beyond the traditionalist,
conservative concerns of the academy which have, until relatively
recently, foreclosed the use of "Western" theory in the study of
Thai literature. The book introduces new frames of analysis to the
study of Thai literature to bring it into dialogue with debates in
wider fields and the world beyond its national borders. As a
result, Disturbing Conventions offers an essential contribution to
the comparative study of world literature and Asian cultural
studies.
