บทคัดย่อ

This article aimed at synthesizing the status of the Northern regional literature researches in 2 decades (1997-2017). The data was collected from postgraduate research abstracts and published research papers that used Northern regional literature data during 1997-2017. The findings showed that 133 Northern regional literature written works were examined by 19 educational institutions, including public universities, Rajabhat universities, and private universities. Such data was the most used by Chiang Mai University, followed by Naresuan University and Silpakorn University. The popular fields under investigation were language, literature, and comparative literature. Those conducting the studies involved postgraduate students, university teachers, and general public. The areas that received the most attention were tales and religions. Most of the researchers conducting these studies focused on examining components of literature in terms of formats, language, content, conceptions, and reflections; rather than applying postmodernism conceptions. The issue on wisdom has been taken into account during the last decade. Nevertheless, documentary research was still mainly used as the research methodology. Some of the researchers conducted their studies using data from academic papers that transcribed existing literature. As a consequence of this, there appeared to be a paucity of data on new literature.
