  • The Changing Identities of the Tamil Muslims from the Coromandel Coast to Malaysia: an Etymological Analysis
    The Changing Identities of the Tamil Muslims from the Coromandel Coast to Malaysia: An Etymological Analysis Shaik Abdullah Hassan Mydin1 and Mohammed Siraaj Saidumasudu2 1School of Distance Education Studies Universiti Sains Malaysia, Jalan Minden, 11800 Penang, Malaysia 2Ministry of Education of Malaysia Keywords : Tamil Muslim, Identities, Etymological, Malaysia Abstract: The Tamil Muslims of the Coromandel Coast, South India are people whose trading networks were founded in the prominent port cities located within South India as well South East Asia. In the context of the Malay world, these traders and merchants engaged uncommercial intercourse with the region since the 8th century C.E. They became well-established and known among both locals and the Europeans with certain unique characteristics which evolved periodically in South India as well as South East Asia. Designations towards Tamil Muslims - such as Yavana, Sonakar, Anjuvanam, Chuliar, and Thulukkar - evolved periodically and in parallel to historical developments as well as demographical changes in South India. In contrast, within Malaysia, terms such as Keling, Chulia, and Mamak are made in reference to this community. Some of these terms are predominantly used in Malaysia, which may have derogative connotations and are often misunderstood by local Malaysians. 1 INTRODUCTION (Bayly, 1989:86).

  • Coping with Modernity: Northern Thailand’S Akha New Wayfaring in the City of Chiang Mai
    Masterthesis Coping With Modernity: Northern Thailand’s Akha New Wayfaring in the City of Chiang Mai. Paul Heering studentnumber 3761932 supervisor Rutger-Jan Scholtens Cultural Anthropology Multiculturalism in a Comparative Perspective University of Utrecht, The Netherlands July 2013 Coping with Modernity: Northern Thailand’s Akha New Wayfaring in the City of Chiang Mai. “Creative tension comes from the combination of two distinct perspectives, and from that creative tension new insights can continue to emerge”. Nancy Farris “And the seasons they go round and round, and the painted ponies go up and down. We're captive on the carousel of time. We can't return, we can only look behind from where we came, and go round and round and round In the circle game”. Joni Mitchell Abstract. This masterthesis highlights the transitional processes of an indigenous people towards urbanization in a globalizing world. It is a reflection of fieldwork, carried out in Northern Thailand from February to April 2013, among the Akha people, from Sino-Tibetan origin, and most deprived of all hilltribes. I focus on the representations of the urban Akha. From the time this group migrated into the Golden Triangle region of northern Thailand some 160 years ago, they occupied the most remote hilltops at altitudes up to 1,500 meters, to dwell in patrilineal village communities amidst other hilltribe groups. They were known as “khon pa”, the wayfarers of the forest, where they lived in harmony with nature to the prescripts of Akhazang, their unique cosmology. In the Thai state process of nation-building, they are reluctant to assimilate into dominant Thai culture.

Kajian ini meninjau imej Siam dalam jiwa Melayu. Siam tidak pernah menjajah Melayu, walaupun negeri Kedah. Siam bernaung ke atas negeri-negeri Melayu di Semenanjung Tanah Melayu berkurun lamanya. Perhubungan Melayu – Siam, khususnya Kedah-Siam ialah satu perhubungan yang kompleks. Terdapat detik peperangan, dan juga detik keamanan. Namun, umumnya dalam masyarakat Melayu, lanjutan dari pengalaman negeri Kedah, Siam diwajahkan sebagai kaum yang ganas dan memerah kudrat Melayu. Siam boleh diungkapkan juga sebagai “kacau daun” Melayu, khususnya Kedah. Ada masanya Siam diterima sebagai pelindung, dan ada masa sebagai pengacau. Hasil dari pertembungan itu, pelbagai imej orang-orang Siam telah di paparkan dalam sejarah. Paparan imej itu berubah-ubah mengikut jenis pertembungan dan perhubungan. Lazimnya kita dengar ungkapan ‘Siam perut hijau.’ Kertas kerja ini menggunakan beberapa visual, dan laman media baru seperti Facebook dan blog bagi memaparkan jiwa Melayu terhadap Siam. Cerita yang dapat dikutip memaparkan memori kolektif dan sentiment Melayu terhadap Siam – rakyat dan raja. Kita juga dapat perhatikan imej Siam dalam beberapa teks kasik terpilih serta pilihan Surat-Surat Francis Light dalam perhubungan dengan beberapa Sultan Kedah.

SKINNER MUNSHI ABDULLAH'S 'HORRIBLE MURDER': THE CERETERA DARIHAL HAJI SABAR ALI' Second Murderer: What shall we do then? First Murderer: Let's throw him int0 the river. (Marlowe: The Massacre at Paris). The term "horrible murder'' is usually associated with Henry Mayhew and his account of the ballad-mongers of his day (Mayhew 1967:222, 225, 229), but the topic is one that has attracted the attention of not a few English writers, e.g. George Orwell, who in his 'Decline of the English Murder', looked back with affectionate regret on the latter half of the 19th century as "our great period in murder, our Elizabethan period, so to speak" (Orwell 1968:98). There are many, however, who would argue that the real "golden age" of the English (and Scottish) murder was the first half of the 19th century, The blood shed in the Napoleonic wars had barely congealed when Abraham Thornton was tried - not once but twice - for the murder of Mary Ashford, creating legal history at his second trial by invoking the right of "trial by battle" with his accuser. A few years later (in 1823) William Thurtell was tried for the murder of William Weare - an act of butchery that prompted De Quincey to write his "On Murder, con- sidered as one of the Fine ArtsJ'.
