LEVERAGING KHON SYMBOLISM AND GOVERNMENTAL POWER MARKET-ING IN THE VU-CHAOS WORLD TO ADDRESS KAKISTOSCRYPTOCRACY

Abstract

The study's objectives were to compare the actors in kakistoscryptocracy with Khon symbolism and to suggest a meaningful way to deal with kakistoscryptocracy in the VU-CHAOS world by utilizing Khon symbolism and governmental power market-ing. The study utilized documentary research. The findings clearly revealed that five important Khon characters (including Phra Ram, Thotsakan, Hanuman, Sita, and Animal Characters) were found to represent various functions within a kakistoscryptocracy. Moreover, as Khon characters deftly illustrate, governmental power market-ing may prove to be a useful instrument for managing the roles of different participants in a VU-CHAOS kakistoscryptocracy.
