Rewriting Patriarchal Discourses in the Five Selected Articles of Sor-Jed's Beep-Sew-Hua-Chang, an Online Thai Star and Celeb Gossip Column

Pogkrong Boon-Long

AbstractBeep-Sew-Hua-Chang is a popular star and celebrity gossip column written by Sor-Jed, a pseudonymous writer who is famous among Thai internet users for her/his weekly satirical writings in Manager Online Newspaper. Sor-Jed’s articles notably provide a space for diversity of gender and sexuality; however, s/he has reproduced many patriarchal discourses, which affectedly suppressed the self-agency of individuals, especially women and the sexual marginalized. Significantly, the sexual discourses created by Sor-Jed are mainly aimed for the profit of media business on the internet, and Sor-Jed’s standpoint on working as a columnist who wildly told sexual stories to Thai society made her/his status in profession ambiguous and contradictory. This paper aims to analyze the production and meaning of sexual discourses in Sor-Jed’s writings, which cause the aforementioned effect, from five selected articles of hers/his that were published from the middle to the end of 2011, which are also the last five pieces of work s/he contributed online.

Index Terms—Online star and celeb gossip column, patriarchy, sexual discourse, Sor-Jed.
