  • A Feminist Dialogics Approach in Reading Kee Thuan Chye's Plays
    3L: The Southeast Asian Journal of English Language Studies – Vol 22(1): 97 – 109 Reclaiming Voices and Disputing Authority: A Feminist Dialogics Approach in Reading Kee Thuan Chye’s Plays ERDA WATI BAKAR School of Language Studies and Linguistics Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Malaysia [email protected] NORAINI MD YUSOF School of Language Studies and Linguistics Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Malaysia RAVICHANDRAN VENGADASAMY School of Language Studies and Linguistics Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Malaysia ABSTRACT Kee Thuan Chye in all four of his selected plays has appropriated and reimagined history by giving it a flair of contemporaneity in order to draw a parallel with the current socio-political climate. He is a firm believer of freedom of expression and racial equality. His plays become his didactic tool to express his dismay and frustration towards the folly and malfunctions in the society. He believes that everybody needs to rise and eliminate their fear from speaking their minds regardless of race, status and gender. In all four of his plays, Kee has featured and centralised his female characters by empowering them with voice and agency. Kee gives fair treatment to his women by painting them as strong, liberated, determined and fearless beings. Armed with the literary tools of feminist dialogics which is derived from Bakhtin’s theory of dialogism and strategies of historical re-visioning, this study investigates and explores Kee’s representations of his female characters and the various ways that he has liberated them from being passive and silent beings as they contest the norms, values and even traditions.

Singapore was the academic hub of British Malaya and the only university of the colony was located there, therefore it was natural that a movement in English writing should have started from there. Nonetheless, given the current cultural and political rivalries between Singapore and Malaysia, it is rather ironic that a Malaysian tradition of writing started in a territory that now sees Malaysia as the ‘other’.

  • Sufism in Writings: Mysticism and Spirituality in the Love Poems of Salleh Ben Joned
    International Journal of Comparative Literature & Translation Studies ISSN 2202-1817 (Print), ISSN 2202-1825 (Online) Vol. 1 No. 2; July 2013 Copyright © Australian International Academic Centre, Australia Sufism in Writings: Mysticism and Spirituality in the Love Poems of Salleh Ben Joned Nadiah Abdol Ghani Faculty of Modern Languages and Communication University Putra Malaysia Received: 30-05- 2013 Accepted: 30-06- 2013 Published: 31-07- 2013 doi:10.7575/aiac.ijclts.v.1n.2p.33 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.7575/aiac.ijclts.v.1n.2p.33 Abstract Salleh Ben Joned is seen as a notorious figure in the Malaysian literary scene as a result of his use of profanities and vulgarities, interlacing them into ideas or texts that are seen to be sacred by the society. He is most infamously known for his vivid descriptions of carnal images and sex and its vicissitudes in his poems, thus earning the accusations of being an apostate and his works to be blasphemous. This essay is an attempt at reappraising his love poetry, by explicating the poems using the doctrine of Sufism and its central theme of love and the Beloved/Divine. My view is that his poems are not just describing the ‘profane’ act of sexual copulation, but rather would be more apt in describing a devotee’s spiritual journey towards finding his Beloved or the Divine. Keywords: Salleh Ben Joned, Sacred, Profane, Sufism, Poetry, Love 1. Love Poetry of Salleh Ben Joned In contemporary studies of modern Malaysian literature, Salleh Ben Joned occupies a unique place in the literary imagination of the nation.

  • Hindu Religious Practices Exposed in Malaysian Tamil Movies
    Hindu Religious Practices Exposed in Malaysian Tamil Movies K. SillIalee I M. Rajantherarr' Abstract Late 19th and ear1y 20th centuries marks the mass migration of people from India to Malaya to work in estates while minority of them came as merchants and to work incivil service. The majority group started their religious practice by worshiping the demigods. On the other hand, the minority group settled in urban areas and they initiated the proper religious practice by building temples for the main deities such as Lord Siva, Lord Muruga as well as Lord Vishnu. After the independence of Malaya, many of those residing in the estates began to shift to urban areas for improvements in their life. These people began to have realisation on the actual way of religious practice and were attracted to the prayers to the main deities such as Lord Shiva and Lord Muruga. Currently, besides the prayers to the main deities, Malaysian Indians have high level or spiritual awareness such as meditation and Siddha philosophy. Though there is a significant evidence or religious awareness among Malaysian Indians, Tamil movies produced in Malaysia still centres in the olden religious practice and the worship to demigods. As such, this research intends to explore the reason for the production of such themes in local Tamil movies. Besides, the researcher also wants to find out the reality in comparison to the movie projections. This research also would shed light the movie of the local Tamil movie producer in exposing the olden religious practice rather than the reality. Keywords: Hindu Religious, Malaysian Tamil Movies, Malaysian Indians, Beliefs, Great Traditions Mr K S~lllalec is currently a Ph.D research candidate at the Department of Indian Studies, Faculty of Arts and SocIal Science, University of Malaya (Malaysia) who has a keen interest in tile field of Hindu religion and CUlture.
