Dr Napong Tao Rugkhapan (Chulalongkorn University) will reflect on the phenomenon of gentrification in Bangkok, Thailand. Drawing upon recent developments in comparative urban theory, postcolonial theory, and comparative gentrification studies, the seminar wrestles with the productive absence of the term 'gentrification' in Thai(land). The linguistic vacuum has allowed local actors to differently define the English term to suit their agendas. The local renditions range from literal translations to awkward mouthfuls to hopeful urban reimaginations. The multivocality goes to affirm not only the complexity of gentrification, but also the broader politics of competing local claims to land.
