Abstract
Exploring the Dynamics of Violence and Power in School in Thai Teen Series “Girl From Nowhere” is a qualitative research. The objective is to investigate and analyze the issues of violence and power in schools portrayed in the series ‘Girl From Nowhere'. The study found that 'Girl From Nowhere' presents various forms of violence—physical violence, including both physical and psychological acts of violence; structural violence, manifested through hierarchical structures or class orders associated with unequal power; and cultural violence rooted in the belief systems upheld in a society that perpetuates certain norms. This societal acceptance contributes to various types of violence. This violence is also linked to power in different dimensions embedded within society, involving the use of power by teachers and students, as well as the power of key characters like Nanno, portrayed as a character possessing superhuman qualities who holds ultimate power in penalizing individuals who exert violence in schools.
