Resumen |
Founded in 1296 CE, the walled city of Chiang Mai, Thailand was once the capital of the Lanna kingdom. In the sixteenth century, Chiang Mai’s fortunes waned, and it became a tributary state under the Burmese. This was followed by its incorporation into the Thai nation-state in the twentieth century. One outcome of Chiang Mai’s administrative integration into the Thai nation was the erosion of its distinctive cultural identity. Beginning in the 1980s, key local figures began to collaborate with communities and academic institutions to revitalize Chiang Mai’s intangible cultural heritage, including its craft traditions, rituals, textiles, and dance performances. After tracing a brief history of Chiang Mai and the Lanna revitalization movement, this article analyzes two rituals – the Candle Lighting ritual and the Yor Suai Wai Sa Phraya Mangrai ritual – to illustrate how community-based organizations in Chiang Mai have worked together to restore the city’s spirit of place, contributing to its resilience and sustainability. |
