Description

Erik Cohen. Traditional Thai arts & crafts have attracted internat. attention, but recent developments have been neglected. To correct this, this vol. brings together articles written by Erik Cohen, who has studied the commercialization (CM) of the crafts of 2 Thai groups: the hill tribes & the lowland villagers. Presents an analysis of the process of CM of the folk crafts in Thailand: the conditions of its emergence, the parties involved in its development, the changes in the processes & organization of production which accompany it, the channels through which commercialized craft products are marketed, the nature of the audiences which they reach, & the transformations in appearance & meaning which the products undergo as a result of their CM. B&W & color photos.
