เรื่องเล่าทีดัดแปลงจากบทพระราชนิพนธ์พระมหาชนกของพระบาทสมเด็จพระเจ้าอยู่หัวภูมิพลอดุลยเดช: การศึกษาในฐานะวรรณกรรมเฉลิมพระเกียรติ Narratives Adapted from the Story of Mahajanaka of King Bhumibol: A Study as Panegyric Literature

Abstract

This article aims to study the characteristics of panegyric literature that appear in the narratives from the story of Mahajanaka and to study the role of narratives from the story of Mahajanaka as panegyric literature. The study reveals that two characteristics of panegyric literature appear in the narratives from the story of Mahajanaka. The first is content used to glorify King Bhumibol that conforms to the composition of traditional panegyric literature, such as the invocation, the purpose of glorification, the description of royal duties, as well as the conclusion. The second is the adaptation of the story of Mahajanaka using features of glorification, namely: the adjustment of content, creation of the story elements and creation of aesthetic elements. The role of the narratives from the story of Mahajanaka as panegyric literature indicates the dynamics of panegyric literature in that the message of glorification is now conveyed through the new media to mass audiences.
