  • Library As a Social Place
    Library as a Social Place Wan Hashimah Wan Ismail, Lily Ting Shu Chi Faculty of Built Environment, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, 81310 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This paper clarifies on the condition of the public libraries, focusing on the one in Alor Gajah town. The objectives were to search the reasons for the lack of visitors to the library, the perspectives of the locals and library users, as well as the means to assimilate their viewpoints into a new approach in designing a library. The discussions in the findings include the preference of the locals, the location and the users of the public library. The strategies suggested comprise the role of the library to be redefined as a social interactive space for the community.

  • The Malay World in Textbooks: the Transmission Colonial Knowledge
    KyotoKyotoUniversity University Southeast Astan Studies,VoL 39, No. 2, Septernber 2001 The Malay World in Textbooks: The Transmission of Colonial Knowledge in British Malaya SoDA Naoki' Abstract This paper examines the transmission of colonial knowledge about the Malay world from the British to the Malays in pre-war colonial Malaya. For this purpose, I make a textual analysis of school textbooks on Malay history and geography that were used in Malay schools and teacher training colleges in British Malaya. "scientific" British and Malay writers of these textbooks not only $hared a or positivist approach, but also constituted similar views of the Malay world. First, their conceptions of community understood Malay as a bangsa or race and acknowledged the hybridity of the Malays. Second, their conceptions of space embraced the idea of territorial boundaries, understanding Malay territoriality to exist at three levels-the Malay states, Malaya and the Malay world, with Malaya as the focal point. Third, in conceptualizing time, the authors divided Malay history into distinctive periods using a scale of progress and civilization. This transmission of colonial knowledge about the Malay world began the localization of the British concept of Malayness, paving the way for the identification of Malay as a potential nation, I Introduction It is now widely acknowledged that social categories in Malaysia such as race and nation are products of the period of British colonialism. For instance, Charles Hirschman argues "modern 'race that relations' in Peninsular Malaysia, in the sense of impenetrable group boundaries, were a byproduct of British colonialism of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries" [Hirschman 1986: 330].

  • Negotiating Visuals: Roles of Images in a Site-Specific Performance
    Negotiating Visuals: Roles of Images in a Site-specific Performance Muhizam Mustafa* and Roslan Chin School of the Arts, Universiti Sains Malaysia, MALAYSIA *Corresponding author: [email protected] Published online: 25 January 2019 To cite this article: Muhizam Mustafa and Roslan Chin. 2019. Negotiating visuals: Roles of images in a site-specific performance. Wacana Seni Journal of Arts Discourse 18(Supp. 1): 47–52. https://doi.org/10.21315/ws2019.18.Supp.1.7. To link to this article: https://doi.org/10.21315/ws2019.18.Supp.1.7 ABSTRACT Wilkie (2004) in her research "Out of Place" discussed that theatre has a long history of experimenting with a variety of spatial configurations and visual relationships. However, it is only in the last two decades that the label "site-specific" has been applied to theatrical performance, indicating a new mode of place-bound practice. This paper looks at the association between a performative engagement with place and space and the role of visuals and scenography; an enhancement of a site-specific spatial formatted performance. The study also looks at the function of images as one area of the theatrical's "visual systems" that affects the creation and reception of a play. "Bermulanya Di Sini…Kedah Tua" is a contemporary theatrical research project based upon the archaeological findings in Lembah Bujang. The performance combines three different fields of study: performance, archaeology, and history. This research combines the idea of theory and practice to decode literary and historical sources by triangulating the relationship between archaeological artefacts, architectural space and time. Keywords: visual projection, scenography, site-specific, performance, archaeology INTRODUCTION The intersection between performative elements and theatrical exploration of space is a continuous process of negotiation.

  • GES1004 Biophysical Environment of Singapore @ NUS Yunpeng's Final
    GES1004 Biophysical Environment of Singapore @ NUS Yunpeng’s Final Summary GES1004 Biophysical Environment of Singapore Part 0 Introduction 1. There are 5 main components of the biophysical environment. Namely, they are the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, the biosphere, and the anthrosphere. 2. To study the biophysical environment, we need to learn geology, geography, topography, biological sciences, environmental sciences, and social sciences. Part 1 Rocks and Plate Tectonics 1. There are mainly 3 types of rocks on the earth, igneous (intrusive and extrusive), sedimentary and metamorphic. 2. Internal structure of earth: atmosphere (exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere and troposphere), crust (oceanic crust and continental crust), mantle (upper mantle and mantle), and core (outer core - liquid and inner core - solid). 3. The boundary surface between crust and upper mantle is called Mohorovicic discontinuity. Crust forms the lithosphere (100km) of the earth, while the upper mantle is considered to be the asthenosphere (250km) of the earth (low-velocity zone). The boundary surface between mantle and core is called Gutenberg discontinuity. 4. Structural components of the lithosphere: African Plate, Austral-Indian Plate, Eurasian Plate, Pacific Plate, Nazca Plate, South American Plate. 5. Evidence for Continental Drift (Alfred Wegener): continental fit, rock sequences, mountain ranges, glacial deposits and striations, fossil existence, palaeomagnetism & Curie point. Due to so many geologic evidences, a unifying theory called Plate Tectonics have been developed based on Continental Drift. 6. There are 3 types of plate boundaries. Namely, they are divergent, convergent and transform. Thus, dipping earthquake zone, Benioff zone and subduction zone always come together. For instance, the average rate of motion is 0-20cm/year.

  • 1 Orang Asli and Melayu Relations
    1 Orang Asli and Melayu Relations: A Cross-Border Perspective (paper presented to the Second International Symposium of Jurnal Antropologi Indonesia, Padang, July 18-21, 2001) By Leonard Y. Andaya In present-day Malaysia the dominant ethnicity is the Melayu (Malay), followed numerically by the Chinese and the Indians. A very small percentage comprises a group of separate ethnicities that have been clustered together by a Malaysian government statute of 1960 under the generalized name of Orang Asli (the Original People). Among the “Orang Asli” themselves, however, they apply names usually associated with their specific area or by the generalized name meaning “human being”. In the literature the Orang Asli are divided into three groups: The Semang or Negrito, the Senoi, and the Orang Asli Melayu.1 Among the “Orang Asli”, however, the major distinction is between themselves and the outside world, and they would very likely second the sentiments of the Orang Asli and Orang Laut (Sea People) in Johor who regard themselves as “leaves of the same tree”.2 Today the Semang live in the coastal foothills and inland river valleys of Perak, interior Pahang, and Ulu (upriver) Kelantan, and rarely occupy lands above 1000 meters in elevation. But in the early twentieth century, Schebesta commented that the areas regarded as Negrito country included lands from Chaiya and Ulu Patani (Singora and Patthalung) to Kedah and to mid-Perak and northern Pahang.3 Most now live on the fringes rather than in the deep jungle itself, and maintain links with Malay farmers and Chinese shopkeepers. In the past they appear to have also frequented the coasts.
