Description
What is the cultural significance of tree spirits in the Thai spirit pantheon? What do cultural constructions of “wildness” and “civilization” tell us about the gendering of “nature”? This talk explores the connections between cultural constructions of the wild, untamed force of the forest (and “nature” more broadly) and feminine spirits.
