En savoir plus sur le livre

Exploring the concept of khwan, this volume delves into its significance in Tai-speaking cultures, where it is understood as 'soul' or 'life essence.' The book critiques the conventional interpretations of khwan by revisiting seminal works, particularly those of Barend Jan Terwiel, whose scholarship has profoundly shaped Tai Studies. By compiling and streamlining Terwiel's writings, the editors aim to enhance understanding of khwan and its role in Tai identity and well-being, while celebrating his contributions to the field.
