| Abstract |
This qualitative research aimed to study identity construction within the silk production process of weaving groups in Khon Kaen Province. In-depth interviewing and observation were used to collect data from 22 key informants, including representatives from Dok-Koon and Ratchaphruk Silk Weaving Groups, as well as other relevant organizations. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis.
The study found both similarities and differences between the two Khon Kaen-based weaving groups’ identity construction through their storytelling and silk production processes. In the first stage of the production process – raw materials preparation – identity construction depended on the different objectives of the weaving groups (to weave and to sell the silk thread versus to weave only). In terms of the silk preparation stage, identity was constructed and differed between the two groups based on their different stories of pattern creation methods (ikat, a traditional tie-dying method, versus painting) as well as their different pattern designs in response to customer preferences (targeting a customer base favoring traditionally patterned silk versus one favoring modern silk patterns). Finally, regarding the weaving stage, both groups used similar storytelling content in identity construction. |
