Abstract

[The process of Karenization calls for a dynamic process of reconstructing the local knowledge of the indigenous communities. This reconstruction is aimed at a sustained advocacy and reassertion of the indigenous agency, culture, tradition and history of the Karen people. The challenges range from the ritual reconstruction intended for the Karen’s liberative struggle against the techno-economy of Thailand. Moreover, the Karenization process also offers insightful critique of the excessive anthropocentrism latent in the sciences, religions, spiritualities and theologies. Furthermore, the process of Karenization levels its criticism of the inadequate worldview in the phenomenology of religion, the notion of space and of sustainable development, the lack of indigenization of Christianity, the church’s patriarchal structure and hierarchical leadership of the local church.]
