| Abstract |
In 2013, the World Health Organization named Thailand as the leading country for alcohol consumption in ASEAN, and alcohol consumption and abuse in Thailand is an increasing trend, despite a decade and a half of concerted campaigns to end alcohol abuse. This article presents the findings from a discourse analysis on 18 Thai-Isaan songs that include references to alcohol and unrequited love. The study applies the methodological framework of James Paul Gee, analyzing the songs through six different lenses: semiotic building, world building, activity building, identity and relationship building, connection building, and politics or the distribution of social goods. The findings are then discussed through a feminist perspective. In short, Gee’s framework helps to uncover a gender discourse which relates alcohol drinking to patriarchal and socioeconomic power structures within Thai society. The analysis sheds light on why successfully addressing alcohol abuse and its effects in Thailand requires a more intersectional understanding of these power structures and the role alcohol abuse plays within them. |
