Abstract

This paper aims to array revolution stages in founder’s cult system. By aspects as the regalia and ฟrchitecture, power and ideology arrayed from data of a dissertation with SEA reviews. There are Five levels of power revolution stages in Karenic ounder’s cult system plus with a stage of the in-between period. Those six periods are ‘Pre-community’, Shrine community’, Sitting-Shrine (proto-palace, proto-throne) community’, ‘Common House (proto-parliament) community period’, ‘Mixed of Sitting-Shrine and Common House community’ (proto-throne + proto-parliament), ‘in-between’. The last and crucial is the ‘in-between period’, the saturation stage of ambiguity ‘crisis of hegemony’ between of valley-state to state. However this evolution is presumed by stages of its regalia and architectures, degree of power. It’s not by the lineage progressive evolution. Those arrangement lead to a discussion on hegemony discourses that separated in two directions in 2017 constitution by now. The first, proto-democracy supported by ‘proto-public sphere ideology’. Other ‘proto-kingship’ supported by ideology of ‘procreative model of society’, personification metaphor, ambiguity practice as ideology. The paper pointed both direction are primitive. Considering criteria of change are by‘boundary define’, ‘population define’, ‘right’, ‘degree of powering’ defined untill nowaday. On Annale’s school’s ‘long durée’, this paper introduces ‘the procreative model of society’, beyond Rajah’s origin, be a crucial common structure of mankind. However, manipulated reproduction from ‘the model’ to other ideology as in the constitution as state apparatus of ambiguity, is the origin of ‘banality of evil regime’. Finally insisting that the public-praxis sphere here is more or less ‘proto’ as devaraja tradition in SEA history. This spectrum polarized stages array here shell let this society change in peaceful way.
