| บทคัดย่อ/คำอธิบาย | : | Problem Statement: Folk massages have been with Isan for a very long time. When people had pains or sickness they often went to see a doctor at the hospital or a clinic closer to them. Some people however chose to see a folk masseur who they believe could heal their pains or sickness. In the past, masseurs could provide massages without government licence. Today they need to have a licence by taking a written examination and it was not easy to pass such as examination. Many masseurs decided to offer a massages without a licence. Their reasons were that it took them years to learn an practice to be a professional masseur. Each masseur was proud of his or her profession. Their teachers also told them to provide services without charge. The objectives of the study were to examine a historical background, current circumstances and problems, and adaptive models of folk masseurs to Isan social change. Approach: The method used was qualitative using documentary studies and a fieldwork carried out in 15 Districts located in 7 Provinces: Roi Et, Loei, Yasothon, and BuriRam. The 115 informants were divided into groups of key, casual, and general informants respectively. The research instruments used were participant and nonparticipant observations, structured and unstructured interviews, focused-group discussions, and workshops. The data were cross-checked using a triangulation technique, analyzed, and presented descriptively. Results: The Isan folk masseurs were important human resource and were responsible for health care and other ailments using Isan traditional methods passed down to them by grand fathers and grand mothers, parents, teachers, knowledgeable persons, using texts, documents, and scripts in palm leaves. Some folk masseurs learned massage skills from accidents or devas (spirits). The causes of illnesses were believed to come from two sources: abnormality or imbalance of body substances and individual's previous karma (deeds). Treatment of illnesses were bringing back the body substances and using Buddhist rituals, shamans, or active massages respectively. Concerning the current circumstances and problems of Isan folk masseurs, the study found that the Thai society did not fully accept masseurs especially the methods of healing and the transmission of learning process. Some masseurs had problems with elements and ethics of massage. Upon the adaptive models of Isan folk masseurs, the study found that most Isan folk masseurs wanted to keep their jobs as a means of survival. They kept their valuable intellectual capital and local heritage. By integrating the Isan folk massages with the international ones, the masseurs centrally performed their functions building community strength, reducing family and nation's medical expenses. The masseurs became the center of virtue where hospitality, generosity, and personal relationship. In turn, they consciously and morally practiced massages for a very long time. By seeking adaptive models, Isan folk masseurs developed their own potential of health care using an application of folk wisdom in the modern-day world. In doing that they were fully aware of their cultural root, enhancement, publicity, praise, and conservation of Isan knowledge and moral standards. © EuroJournals Publishing, Inc. 2012. |
