| The main goal of this research is to look at the process of public image making and the self-representation of the current king of Thailand – King Bhumibol. This project is inspired by a work of an English historian Peter Burke. In 1992, Burke published a study of the fabrication of the public image of the French king Louis XIV. This project takes Burke’s study as a model and applies his methodology to the contemporary Thai context. The main interest of this research revolves around the fabrication of the public image and the self-representation of the King of Thailand, in the contemporary time, in the context of gaining, or, having a symbolic meaning over the Thai state. To achieve the goal of the research, the comparative method with a diachronic approach, developed from the study of Burke, will be performed throughout the study to seek for the similarities and differences between the process of propaganda of these two nobles alike. Here, the analysis focuses on various kinds of official, visual media such as documentaries and music-videos for songs celebrating the king of Thailand |
