Barry Lawrence Ruderman Antique Maps Inc. 7407 La Jolla Boulevard www.raremaps.com (858) 551-8500 La Jolla, CA 92037 [email protected] [Southeast Asia] Stock#: 64430 Map Maker: Fries Date: 1535 Place: Vienna Color: Hand Colored Condition: VG Size: 17 x 12 inches Price: $ 1,200.00 Description: One of Ptolemy's Greatest Errors An important early map of the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia, drawn from Ptolemy's Geography. The map illustrates one of the greatest of the Ptolemy errors, the belief that a southern continent existed, which counter-balanced the weight of the land-masses in the northern hemisphere, to keep the earth stable on its axis. The present map illustrates a portion of the landlocked Indian Ocean, including much of the Indian Ocean (Indicum Mare), as it had been mapped by Ptolemy. As noted by Suarez: . .After crossing east of the Ganges (whose Delta is on the left), we enter Aurea region, a kingdom of gold, which is roughly located where Burma begins today. Above it lies Cirradia, from where, Ptolemy tells us, comes the finest cinnamon. Further down the coast one comes to Argentea Regio, a kingdom of silver, "in which there is said to be much well-guarded metal." Besyngiti, which is also said to have much gold, is situated close by. The region's inhabitants are reported to be "white, short, with flat noses." Here the Temala River, because of its position and because it empties through a southerly elbow of land, appears to be the Irrawaddy. If so, the Sinus Sabaricus would be the Gulf of Martaban, whose eastern shores begin the Malay Peninsula, and the Sinus Permimulicus would be the Gulf of Siam. -

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. -
Pengaruh Pemikiran Islam Liberal Dalam Fahaman Anti Hadis
PENGARUH PEMIKIRAN ISLAM LIBERAL DALAM FAHAMAN ANTI HADIS Kamal Azmi Abd Rahman1 1 Kamal Azmi Abd. Rahman, Pensyarah di Jabatan Dakwah dan Usuluddin, Fakulti Pengajian Peradaban Islam, Kolej Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Selangor. ([email protected]) Abstrak Isu mengenai Anti Hadis di Malaysia bermula pada tahun 1986 ekoran daripada penulisan kontroversi bertajuk Hadis Satu Penilaian Semula oleh Kassim Ahmad. Di dalam buku tersebut, beliau cuba mengupas masalah perpecahan ummah. Menurut beliau, keimanan kepada Hadis sebagai sumber rujukan selepas al-Quran telah menjadi faktor utama perpecahan ummah tersebut. Oleh yang demikian, golongan Anti Hadis menyarankan supaya umat Islam merujuk kepada al-Quran sahaja sebagai panduan hidup. Artikel ini akan membahaskan tentang fahaman Anti Hadis dan hubungannya dengan pemikiran Islam liberal. Kajian ini berbentuk kualitatif – analisis kandungan yang akan menjelaskan tentang pemikiran Anti Hadis melalui penulisan Kassim Ahmad. Kajian mendapati bahawa Anti- Hadis meneruskan gagasan-gagasan idea yang dibawa oleh kumpulan Islam Liberal seperti mengkritik ulama dan pemahaman Islam semasa, dasar keterbukaan kepada semua fahaman dan ideologi serta mentafsir nas secara historis dan hermeneutik. Kata Kunci: Anti Hadis, Kassim Ahmad dan Islam Liberal 1. Pengenalan Islam liberal adalah sebuah ideologi yang semakin berkembang dalam kehidupan masyarakat Islam kini. Gerakan Islam Liberal mengambil landskap Renaissance di Barat sebagai asas kepada semangat pembebasan yang mereka inginkan. Jika John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Adam Smith dan lain-lain tokoh liberal di Barat telah berjaya membentuk satu kehidupan baru dalam kehidupan masyarakat Barat dengan idea-idea pemebebasan, sekular dan individualistik, maka umat Islam juga mampu membangunkan masyarakat mereka dengan cara tersebut. Walaupun tidak seratus peratus sama, namun mereka bersetuju dengan kerangka pemikir Barat tersebut yang menuntut usaha pembaharuan dalam memahami agama dan nas dalam kehidupan moden. -

U. Tadmor Dialect Endangerment; the Case of Nonthaburi Malay In
U. Tadmor Dialect endangerment; The case of Nonthaburi Malay In: Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde 160 (2004), no: 4, Leiden, 511-531 This PDF-file was downloaded from http://www.kitlv-journals.nl Downloaded from Brill.com09/23/2021 06:04:14PM via free access URI TADMOR Dialect endangerment The case of Nonthaburi Malay Introduction Language endangerment and death is the salient issue in linguistics at the dawn of the twenty-first century.1 And for a very good reason: of the estimated 6,000 to 7,000 languages now spoken in the world, at least half are expected to become extinct before the end of the century (Nettle and Romaine 2000:27; Janse 2003:ix; Newman 2003:1). While language endanger- ment has been the subject of numerous books and articles published in recent years, the endangerment and death of dialects is not often addressed. This is despite the fact that, as Crystal (2000:38) points out, 'dialects are just as com- plex as languages in their sounds, grammar, vocabulary, and other features', so '[d]ialect death is language death, albeit on a more localized scale'. This article presents one case study of dialect endangerment, and spells out the historical reasons that have led to the situation.2 Tucked among the rice fields and orchards of Nonthaburi province in central Thailand are about a dozen villages inhabited by Muslims. Although Thai is now the dominant language in these villages, speakers of Malay can still be found in the more isolated ones. Together with Malay speakers in nearby provinces, they form a speech island, or rather a 'speech archipelago', comprising tiny specks in an ocean of Thai speakers. -

Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized This volume is a product of the staff of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank. The findings, interpretations, and conclusions expressed in this volume do not necessarily reflect the views of the Executive Directors of The World Bank or the governments they represent. For queries and comments: Philip Schellekens [email protected] (662) 686-8300 30th Floor, Siam Tower 989 Rama I Road, Pathumwan Bangkok 10330, Thailand www.worldbank.org/my 2 PREFACE The Malaysia Economic Monitor is a new report of the World Bank that reviews recent economic developments in Malaysia, provides views on the outlook for the Malaysian economy, and helps inform key policy issues. This inaugural edition marks the beginning of series that will come out twice a year. With ‘Repositioning for Growth’ as the theme of this first issue, the Malaysia Economic Monitor comes at an opportune time. Malaysia is emerging from one of the worst export slumps in its economic history. Against this backdrop, the report addresses a number of pertinent questions. How deeply was the Malaysian economy affected by the crisis? Will the rebound translate into a sustained recovery? How can Malaysia revitalize growth and climb up the income ladder? The Malaysia Economic Monitor is part of a wider effort of promoting the sharing of knowledge among internal and external stakeholders—a requisite for the innovation- and knowledge-driven economy and a key pillar of the World Bank’s partnership with the Government of Malaysia. In this spirit, the Monitor is made available to a broad audience, including decision makers, private sector leaders, market participants, civil society, think tanks, and journalists. -

INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)“ . If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in “sectioning" the material. It is customary tc begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from “ photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
