The Motifs and Interaction of the Politics in Sinsai Lao Literature with the Sinsai Lao Duangduan

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to study object-related motifs in the literature of Sin Sai Lao, which interact with Sin Sai Lao Duangduan based on the concept of motifs and the concept of interaction.

The results of this research are as follows: 1. The object-related motifs in the literature of Sin Sai Lao which appear in Sin Sai Lao Duangduan, they were changed into other motifs. The object-related motifs in Sin Sai Lao Duangduan reflect the author's findings of a linkage between Nang Soumountha's motifs and the political dimensions in the form of party and government and the interaction of Sin Sai Lao literature with Sin Sai Lao Duangduan in the form of historically political events such as fighting for the independence of the nation and reflecting the political meanings through the Lao People's Revolutionary Party's flag which is a symbol of unifying the nation on behalf of the party and government; 2. The object-related motifs in both the literature of Sin Sai Lao and the Sin Sai Lao Duangduan reflect the sub-motif, the interaction, and cultural and political meanings in the text of Sin Sai Lao. When the main characters such as Siho and Sangthong, clothing, costumes, and fighting for Nang Soumountha in the literature of the Sin Sai Lao appear in Sin Sai Lao Duangduan, they are changed and modified for having political dimension and the image of political stability in Laos.

These are not found in other literatures of Sin Sai Thai in Thailand. Therefore, it is an important dimension that reflects the interaction and creation of motifs in both Sin Sai Lao literature and Sin Sai Lao Duangduan as well as systemically reflecting Lao cultural dimension and Lao politics.
