Nora Ritual Performance of Southern Thailand - a Cross-cultural Study: Ritual Performance of Southeast Asia Volume I (Volume 1) Prof Cholthira/ Dr. Satyawadhna 1st edition

The Ritual Performance of SEA Series shows the exposition of both rituals and dances of Southeast Asia in anthropological perspectives. In this volume (Volume I), the researcher investigates Nora, a unique ritual performance of Southern Thailand and elaborates the belief system and social structure of the societies studied across the Southeast Asian border. It is discovered that this living culture has still woven the pride and virtue of the Southern Thai and the Siamese in Malaysia. In Volume II, a cross-cultural study in anthropological perspective is also conducted in order to show that there has been some significant linkage in the belief of the magic of "the Seventh" within the Southeast Asian and European myths.
