This dissertation examines the ways people and organizations employ Northeastern Thai pong lang music as a polyvalent signifier of identity, history, and culture. People use and assign meaning to pong lang as a musical and social practice by using it to represent, define, and challenge ideas about who they are, where they come from, and how they should be understood. While pong lang is perhaps the most prominent musical representation of Northeastern Thai culture and history, its creation only dates to the 1950s and its strong ties to government programs has led many scholars to label pong lang as a propagandistic "neo-" or non-traditional genre of music. Instead, I view pong lang as a contemporary form of meta-cultural performance-a cultural performance comprised of other cultural performances-through which people publicly perform, reflect upon, and debate central ideas about society. I argue that such meta-cultural performances such as pong lang are useful occasions for studying performance as a powerful and flexible signifier of often-diverse framings of meaning, history, and identity.This ethnomusicological analysis is based on ethnographic research-including documentation of performances, interviews, and participant-observation-I also include my research on secondary sources such as websites and promotional materials collected between 2012 and 2022. I analyze how people use pong lang to represent different scales of place (e.g. local, regional, national) and times (the past, present, and future, as well as the ways that pong lang functions as a type of habitus that both influences and is influenced by the workings of institutions such as the Thai government, education system, and tourism industry. I argue that{A0}pong lang's meanings are constructed by different people in different contexts through social interaction. Pong lang's meaning as a genre of musical and cultural performance, therefore, lies in its use by people and institutions in different situations and contexts and that these uses are wide ranging and far reaching, informing debates and decisions about broad issues such as identity, history, tourism, government initiatives, and education. I detail how pong lang as a musical practice and the discourses surrounding it serve as important sites in which people create, circulate, theorize, and come to understand the world around them. The meanings communicated and negotiated through performances such as pong lang shape more than the performances themselves, affecting government funding, tourism revenue, international awareness, and even the self-perception of individuals that people associate with these performances.
