The Preservation and Literacy Transmission of the Mor Lam Khon Kaen Style by the Rattanasin Intathairat Group

This study focuses on the preservation and literacy transmission of the Mor Lam Khon Kaen style by the Rattanasin Intathairat Group and presents insightful findings in three knowledge-related aspects. In terms of knowledge definition, the Mor Lam Khon Kaen performance encompasses the preservation of its distinct identity, the collaborative exchange of knowledge among performers facilitated by Mrs. Chawala, the composer, and the meticulous memorization process of Klon Lam poems. Knowledge management within the performance involves the leadership of Mrs.Chawala, who guides the ensemble to ensure authentic Mor Lam Phuen style preservation over four evolving periods. This process entails systematic storage and retrieval through Klon Lam compilation, utilizing digital platforms for dissemination, and employing collaborative learning techniques. In the literacy transmission process, the Rattanasin Intathairat Group's inclusive approach welcomes disciples, emphasizes Klon Lam memorization, and adapts the timeframe to individual progress. The study's comprehensive insights shed light on the intricate interplay of preservation, literacy transfer, and community engagement within the Mor Lam tradition.
