Abstract

This article aimed to analyze the construction of teacher-ness identities in contemporary Thai films. The Thai teacher-ness identities represented in films were a unit of cultural analysis in contemporary popular culture, a methodological approach informed by British Cultural Studies. The researcher analyzed the texts of nine teacher-related films released in cinemas between 1977 and 2017, under the theoretical framework of the construction of social realities. The findings indicated that teacher representations were presented in three ways: 1) the ideal teacher-ness, 2) the negotiation with the ideal teacher-ness, and 3) the non-ideal teacher-ness. In general, teacher characters were created to exhibit consistent and different from the social realities. However, the representations of teacher-ness identities that appear in films have not kept pace with the changes in teacher-ness identities in the real world, due to the political, socio-cultural, and ideological landscape in Thailand, which has undergone enormous changes. The representations of teacher-ness identities thus need to be transformed in accordance with those changes. The influence of changing social realities of teacher-ness as well as competing for hegemonic discourses in the teaching profession, in particular, and teacher education, in general, plays a critical role in shaping the representations of those teachers. In addition, film, as one of the socio-cultural institutions, tend to produce and reproduce teacher-ness identities to be in line with social norms and expectations.

当代泰国电影中教师身份建构的批判性分析
本文旨在分析当代泰国电影中教师身份的建构。电影中表现的泰国教师身份是当代流行文化中文化分析的一个单位,这是一种受英国文化研究影响的方法论方法。研究者在社会现实建构的理论框架下,对1977年至2017年间上映的9部与教师相关的电影文本进行了分析。研究发现,教师表征主要以三种方式呈现:1)理想教师形象、2)与理想教师形象的协商、3)非理想教师形象。总的来说,教师角色的塑造表现出与社会现实的一致性和差异性。然而,由于泰国的政治、社会文化和意识形态格局发生了巨大的变化,电影中出现的教师身份表现并没有跟上现实世界中教师身份的变化。因此,教师身份的表征需要根据这些变化进行转换。不断变化的社会现实对教师的影响,以及对教师职业,特别是教师教育中霸权话语的竞争,在塑造这些教师的形象方面起着关键作用。此外,电影作为社会文化机构之一,往往会产生和再现教师身份,以符合社会规范和期望。
