Amin Ya Rahman, Ya Rohim. تولوس اكلس داري اناكدا مو ساهير بين نوردين 2 Jun 2015 1 BAB 1 PENGENALAN TAJUK 1.0 PENDAHULUAN Menurut Pusat Rujukan Persuratan Melayu, filem propaganda bermaksud filem yang mengandungi kecenderungan dan pendekatan penerbit untuk menyalurkan ideologi politik. Tujuannya ialah untuk menimbulkan sesuatu isu atau pengaruh. (Kamus Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka edisi keempat, 2005). Kebanyakan unsur-unsur propaganda mempunyai kepelbagaian terhadap elemen-elemen seperti politik, isu semasa, ekonomi, sosial, budaya, dan nasionalisma. “Any act of promotion can be propaganda only if and when it becomes part of a deliberate campaign to induce action through influencing attitudes. Once it is established that any statement, book, poster or rumour, any paradel or exhibition, any statue or historic monument, any scientific achievement or abstract of statistic, whether true or false, rational or irrational in appeal or presentation, originates as the delibetate policy of someone trying to control or alter attitudes, then that thing or activity becomes part of a propaganda”. (Nicholas Reeves). P, 11. Kenyataan di atas menyatakan bahawa propaganda merupakan suatu tindakan untuk mengawal dan memberi pengaruh terhadap tingkahlaku manusia. Tindakan tersebut melibatkan apa-apa medium seperti buku, poster, bahan seni mahupun polisi untuk mengawal tingkah laku manusia. Persembahan tersebut diserapkan ke dalam filem sebagai alat untuk mempengaruhi penonton sesebuah filem. Menurut L. W. Doob (1935) pula, definisi propaganda adalah; 2 “If individuals are controled through the use of suggestion … then the process may be called propaganda , regardless of whether or not the propagandist intends to exercise the control. On the other hand, if individuals are effected in such a way what the same result would be obtained with or without the aid of suggestion, then this process may be called education, regardless of the intention of the educater.” ( p. 80). Oleh itu, adalah nyata bahawa propaganda melibatkan pengawalan individu dari segi pemikiran, tingkah laku dan sikapnya. Propaganda boleh berfungsi sebagai alat untuk menyampaikan atau menyalurkan idea, cadangan, atau pemikiran seseorang kepada umum. Dalam bidang perfileman di dunia ini, sejarah filem propaganda bermula pada tahun 1933 apabila German menubuhkan Kementerian Propaganda pada 14 Julai 1933. (Wollenberg, 1948, p. 36) yang berfungsi untuk mengawal idea tentang keseluruhan media kesasteraan, teater, muzik, seni halus, akhbar, radio, dan juga industri perfileman. Selain negara German, terdapat juga negara-negara lain yang menggunakan filem sebagai alat untuk menyampaikan propaganda. Contohnya, negara Jepun juga menggunakan filem sebagai alat untuk menyebarkan propaganda. ”Jepun sangat menyedari pentingnya media filem sebagai alat propaganda. Filem sesuatu bangsa mencerminkan mentaliti bangsa itu lebih yang digambarkan atau yang tercermin melalui media artistik yang lain.” (Biran, 2009) Hal ini menunjukkan filem propaganda bukan sahaja digunakan oleh Soviet Russia dan Nazi German. Jepun juga tidak ketinggalan menggunakan filem sebagai alat untuk tujuan propaganda. Tetapi penyataan Biran (2009) di atas, filem propaganda Jepun lebih menfokuskan bangsa dan pemikiran bangsa Jepun sendiri. Jepun akan mengambarkan atau menvisualkan lakonan dalam filem propaganda yang sentiasa lebih baik dan lebih hebat daripada kehidupan bangsa Jepun yang sebenar. 3 Filem yang berunsur propaganda merupakan satu bentuk olahan cerita yang digunapakai oleh pengarah untuk membuatkan sesebuah jalan cerita dalam filem tersebut lebih menarik. Selain itu, filem yang mempunyai unsur propaganda mampu mempengaruhi penonton. Hal ini dikuatkan lagi degan pernyataan David Welch. Menurut (Welch, 2001), filem yang berbentuk propaganda mempunyai kelebihan terutamanya kepada golongan orang muda yang gemar menonton filem, sekaligus menggunakan filem sebagai alat untuk memainkan emosi. Katanya lagi, filem adalah medium yang sempurna untuk menggabungkan persembahan filem dan propaganda. Penyampaian cerita dalam sesebuah filem propaganda juga memainkan peranan yang penting kerana penyampaian sesebuah jalan cerita itu adalah untuk menarik kepercayaan penonton terhadap sesuatu perkara. Pelbagai cara digunakan dalam sesebuah filem propaganda dalam penyampaian cerita. Salah satu cara yang digunakan adalah penipuan secara tidak terus. Penipuan secara tidak terus ini digunakan dalam filem propaganda, dan berkemungkinan penonton tidak sedar bahawa mereka sedang ditipu tentang perkara yang disampaikan melalui jalan cerita filem propaganda tersebut. (Welch, 2001), p.38). “As opposed Hitler‟s concept of propaganda, this aspect of the Nazi cinema might be termed the „lie indirect‟. It is evident from […..] that successful propaganda should reinforce opinions and feelings that people already should.” (Welch, 2001, p. 38) Teknik yang digunakan oleh Nazi lebih menfokuskan kejayaan dalam menyampaikan propaganda dalam filem yang ditayangkan. Penilaian sebegini penting dan dijadikan kayu pengukur terhadap sesebuah filem propaganda. 4 Hal ini menunjukkan bahawa terdapatnya pengarah dan organisasi yang faham akan perlunya filem untuk menyampaikan propaganda yang tersendiri dan membina keyakinan penonton terhadap apa-apa yang disampaikan melalui filem tersebut. Perkara ini menunjukkan sesebuah organisasi perlu memaparkan propagandanya yang tersendiri untuk membentuk kepercayaan dan keyakinan penonton terhadap organisasi mereka. Contohnya, Nazi memperkenalkan filem yang berunsur propaganda untuk ditayangkan di sekolah, perkara ini dilakukan kerana ingin memupuk keyakinan dan kepercayaan pelajar sekolah terhadap Nazi sendiri. Di sini kita boleh melihat tentang kepentingan filem propaganda berfungsi kepada Nazi suatu ketika dahulu. Perkara ini diperkukuhkan lagi dengan kenyataan; “At the beginning the Nazis had to establish a complex organization for the use of these film in the classrooms. The films shown were usually propaganda and culture films.” (Welch, 2001, p. 19). Filem berunsur propaganda kebiasaanya digunakan dalam filem yang bergenre sejarah, peperangan dan politik. Perkara ini berfungsi sebagai pembina keyakinan dan kepercayaan penonton terhadap sesebuah organisasi. Propaganda yang terkandung dalam sesebuah filem seperti tentang ideologi, ekonomi, peperangan, politik dan sosial yang digunakan oleh Soviet Union, Nazi German, Jepun, atau negara-negara lain suatu ketika dahulu ataupun sehingga kini untuk menarik perhatian dan kepercayaan serta keyakinan orang lain terhadap sesuatu pihak. “Kerana ideologi dihubungkan dengan gagagsan tentang perjuangan, maka sudah tentu ada sesuatu keyakinan, adanya kaitan antara pengetahuan dan kekuasaan.” (Haryatmoke, 2002). 5 Seperti yang dinyatakan oleh Haryatmoko (2002), penyampaiaan ideologi boleh dikaitkan dengan perjuangan yang dilakukan oleh sesuatu pihak. Hal ini berlaku kerana propagandis ingin menanamkan keyakinan dan kepercayaan

Ph.D. August 2004. Telecommunications Managing the Content of Malaysian Television Drama: Producers, Gatekeepers and the Barisan Nasional Government (303 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Drew McDaniel Abstract: The purpose of this dissertation is to describe and analyze how drama television content is managed in Malaysia. By looking at the production process of local drama television programming, this study examines the interactions among the three major players – the Barisan Nasional regime, the major television networks and independent producers – who are responsible for shaping its content. Three research methods are used for this study: in-depth interviewing, the informal conversational interview and documentary research. Between June 2001 and November 2002, 32 interviewees participated in this research. The research finds that the Malaysian drama television producer’s ability to generate program content is constrained by the Barisan Nasional regime. Three observations are made to outline the power relationship between the government and the television industry. First, the government often encourages television producers to make drama programs with the theme of friendship and goodwill (muhibah) among different ethnic communities in order to nurture racial harmony.

Nanyang Technological University Library 1 MALAYSIAN FILMS: SURVIVAL OR REVIVAL 2 By: Mohd.-Hamdan Hj . Adnan- 1. OVERVIEW The Malaysian -film industry is slightly over hal-f a century old. Fierce competition from imported films, greater usage of video and good programmes from the three television channels in Malaysia has affected the development of the movie industry. In fact the three sectors of the industry, i.e. production, distribution and screening are all experiencing hard times. Currently, Malaysian films at best are surviving. Various efforts both by the Government and the film industries, however, do show some hope for a revival though it might not be to the extent of its golden years in the 1958s and early 1960s. Malaysian films are also experiencing an identity crisis. This happened because Malaysian films are basically synonymous to Malay films, whereas the country is multi-ethnic with Malays comprising slightly less than 50 per cent of her 16 million population.

  • From Heartbroken Wives to Working Mothers: the Malay Melodrama of the Early 1980S
    From Heartbroken Wives to Working Mothers: The Malay Melodrama of the Early 1980s Norman Yusojf This essay examines the Malay melodrama produced in the early 1980s by focusing upon the representation and (re)construction of gender and its extent to which the genre subverts its conventionality in relation to the gender subjectivity and relativity. Since cinematic texts, as forms of representation, are polysemic, my argument is that the depiction of women in the melodramas does not perpetuate them as "commodified" and stereotyped into the binary images of "good" and "bad" due to the films' renegotiation of the ambiguities of representation. On the other hand, the portrayal of men, which seems negative, resonates in ways that contest and question their masculinity. My analysis will go on to trace the social, economic and political implications in Malaysia during the early 1980s as the country was on the verge of modernization and how they reflect and shape the defining features of the Malay melodrama of the early 1980s. In a way, the essay aims to map and frame the notion of genres "as a form of collective cultural expression" (Schatz, 1981), by underlining the socio-cultural and ideological functions which the Malay melodrama of the early 1980s performs. As is known, melodrama is one of the few film genres which has been subject to critical derision and, employed in a pejorative sense, normally by critics, to imply domesticity, femininity, heightened emotionalism and sentimentality.1 By the same token, a smorgasbord of alternative names has been invented for the melodramatic films, found in the English- language reviews and publicities surrounding them; amongst the names are "women's pictures," "tearjerkers," "weepies," and "soap operas" (Singer, 1990).

McDaniel This dissertation explores the roles played by media toward political engagement and disengagement among students at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), an affirmative action university in Malaysia, during 2010. In doing so, this study examined perceptions regarding Malaysian media and politics, and the roles played by both mainstream mass media and online media in fostering political engagement and disengagement among UiTM students. The ethnographic fieldwork for this study was conducted during 2010—a critical year in Malaysia’s political history, which preceded the repeal of the country’s controversial laws including the Internal Security Act University and the University Colleges Act (UUCA). Before its repeal in 2012, UUCA banned university students and academicians from joining political parties, which presented a key challenge in obtaining informant feedback during the fieldwork.
