The article presents an overview of the use of cult, or lack thereof, in current research on Thai religion (worship of Buddha, monks, kings – living and deceased, revered monks, rahu, local dei-ties and spirits). reference will be made to the extensive use of ‘cult’ in studies of greek and roman religion. Outcomes show that in Thai religion there is rarely, if ever, formal membership in ritual practice and worship is fluid with individual Thais free to move between what can be termed ‘cults’ thus weakening the via-bility of the term. While one can certainly say the “cult of King Naresuan”, the fluidity of Thai religions strains the parameters of the construct of ‘cult’ as a social formation in Thailand</dc:description><dc:description xml:lang="sl">Avtor raziskuje pojem kulta v okviru tajske religije v pomenu, v katerem se uporablja v akademskih delih (kjer je delno opredeljen kot družbena tvorba), da bi ocenil ustreznost termina kot opisne in/ali analitične kategorije v tajskem ver-skem kontekstu. Pri tem izpostavi elemente tajskih verovanj in praks, da bi odkril morebitne kultu sorodne besede v tajščini (wai (izkazati spoštovanje), bucha (žrtev, čaščenje), buang suang (častiti, pomiriti) itd.). V članku je podan pregled uporabe oziroma neuporabe omenjenega pojma v aktualnih raziskavah o tajskih religijah (o čaščenju Bude, menihov, kraljev ? živih in preminulih, spoštovanih menihov, rahuja, krajevnih božanstev in duhov), avtor pa predstavi tudi razširjeno rabo termina kult v raziskavah o grški in rimski religiji. rezultati analize kažejo, da taj-ska religija skorajda ne pozna koncepta formalnega članstva pri ritualnih praksah, izbira oblike čaščenja pa je fluidna, saj posamezniki lahko svobodno prehajajo med skupnostmi, ki jih sicer označujemo za kulte, s čimer zmanjšujejo ustreznost samega izraza zanje. Čeprav je seveda mogoče govoriti o kultu kralja Naresuana, fluidnost tajskih religij močno razteguje parametre pojma kult kot družbene tvorbe na Tajskem</dc:description><edm:type>TEXT</edm:type><dc:type xml:lang="sl">znanstveno časopisje</dc:type><dc:type xml:lang="en">journals</dc:type><dc:type rdf:resource="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q361785" /></edm:ProvidedCHO><ore:Aggregation rdf:about="http://www.dlib.si/?URN=URN:NBN:SI:doc-B53C4KBP"><edm:aggregatedCHO rdf:resource="URN:NBN:SI:doc-B53C4KBP" /><edm:isShownBy rdf:resource="http://www.dlib.si/stream/URN:NBN:SI:doc-B53C4KBP/8825ae2b-c7ff-410c-9d25-ce40bfb69544/PDF" /><edm:rights rdf:resource="http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/" /><edm:provider>Slovenian National E-content Aggregator</edm:provider><edm:intermediateProvider xml:lang="en">National and University Library of Slovenia</edm:intermediateProvider><edm:dataProvider xml:lang="sl">Znanstveno-raziskovalno središče Koper</edm:dataProvider><edm:object rdf:resource="http://www.dlib.si/streamdb/URN:NBN:SI:doc-B53C4KBP/maxi/edm" /><edm:isShownAt rdf:resource="http://www.dlib.si/details/URN:NBN:SI:doc-B53C4KBP" /></ore:Aggregation></rdf:RDF>
