Frequently Sylvie and I have talked about native Muay Thai as if it were a language. There are many ways to imagine this, but in this film montage (sound on), the particular way that a film genre will communicate itself, discursively, through "blocs of sensation", discursively, gives clue to its communication. These tropes and movements (including camera movements) compose a "language" of expression. It is the same with traditional Muay Thai, the refining of these communications. -

An early note in my reading was on McLean's speculative translation of melos and "machine". Not sure of its bearing here in the trace of thought, but post it because it was an off-shoot of my reading, and might as well preserve the footnote. At the start of reading a book it is a beautiful virtual space; much is possible. Here @BHMcLean108's new book Deleuze, Guattari & the Machine in Early Christianity starts by retranslating "μέλος" as machine, instead of merely parts. But moves away from them being "organs" -

In tracing this mental landscape I made these notes, with these caps of McLean's work: "This D&G Disjunctive Synthesis summation by McLean (in analogy for early Xp church) provides a powerful template for explaining the affective powers of ring Muay Thai, esp in the festival setting (and helps explain the surplus value of the deities of the ring & Muay Thai itself)." "These Deleuze & Guattari dynamics help flesh out a Girardian reading of the sacrificial rite power of the festival Muay Thai ring, how the production of the (sacred) loser helps propitiate the gods/dieties, thru symbolic expulsion, and generate the surplus value of the community." "prospectively: The paranoic pole helps us understand how the revulsion against the gamblers (the very organs of the generation of Muay Thai as a sport), produces a low-intensity paranoic body." "McLean on "milieu" to give context to territorialization..." and, then noted: "Getting an enormous amount out of McLean's D&G & Early Xp book, understanding the dynamics of the festival fighting Muay Thai trad, the unwritten development of Muay Thai in the provinces, in the light of the territorializations the early Christian Church. socio-religious flows. I've always had the sense that the traditional, custom-rich festival fight ring was a stage upon which "the god was made to appear", often only in flashes. Girard opened one door to this, but McLean's book opens up the floor plan of the process. The generation of surplus."

That sounds promising if you've already moved, how are things going for you now? -

I'm sorry I don't really know. Sylvie is in touch with a collector and this person is where she buys hers, but there are not multiple copies available. Maybe someone else would know of a larger source. -
Where can I find some physical old Muay Thai magazines? I am located in Bangkok. Thanks -

I can only comment on Perth. There's a very active Muay Thai scene here - regular shows. Plenty of gyms across the city with Thai trainers. All gyms offer trial classes so you can try a few out before committing . Direct flights to Bangkok and Phuket as well. Would you be coming over on a working holiday visa? Loads of work around Western Australia at the moment.
