Held in conjunction with the exhibition Love Me in My Batik: Modern Batik Art from Malaysia and Beyond, the symposium explores the changes in values and meanings in what we recognise as a ‘traditional’ craft of a particular culture when certain technological, social and cultural changes occur. Broadening the scope of the exhibition, the symposium brings together a panel of speakers to examine how meanings, patterns of circulation and artistic forms in batik and other textile tradi- tions of Southeast Asia have been transformed since from the late nineteenth century. In what ways can textile be fashioned into national cultural propaganda? In what instances do they move beyond the borders of the nation and inspire artistic cultures elsewhere? How do tex- tile-makers find the balance between our present day way of thinking and the continuance of a tra- ditional knowledge system from which the textiles originally emerged? Leading textile experts from India, Thailand, Australia and Malaysia, working in different areas of studies from art history to heritage to anthropology, will meet in Kuala Lumpur to discuss the his- torical, cultural and spiritual significance of textiles in the region and beyond.

  • Conserving and Sustaining Culture Through Sarawak Traditional Malay Woman Headscarves
    Conserving and Sustaining Culture through Sarawak Traditional Malay Woman Headscarves Conserving and Sustaining Culture through Sarawak Traditional Malay Woman Headscarves Conserving and Sustaining Culture through Sarawak Traditional Malay Woman Headscarves Awang Rozaimie1*, Rashidah Bolhassan2, Regina Garai Abdullah3 and Aiza Johari4 1&4Universiti Teknologi MARA, Cawangan Sarawak, MALAYSIA 2Pustaka Negeri Sarawak, Sarawak, MALAYSIA 3Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, Sarawak, MALAYSIA [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Received: 2 February 2020 Accepted: 30 April 2020 Published: 30 June 2020 ABSTRACT The traditionally Sarawak Malay woman headscarf is known as Tudong Selayah Keringkam. It is a hand-made identical embroidery headscarf, produced with articulate skills, creativity, and imagination and worn as a social identity among the Malay women in Sarawak. This paper argues that the Selayah and the Keringkam are two different pieces of headscarves artwork. This paper also foresees the reasons behind the depletion of interest and skills of producing this artifact among the younger generation, to a large extent, making the cultural sustainability of the traditional headscarves in Sarawak to become less significant. Hence, the objectives of this paper are to explore the distinction between Selayah and Keringkam. In this transcendental phenomenological paper, the ‘framing approach’ is used in the in-depth interviews conducted with Selayah Keringkam weavers and Malay elders. This paper apparently has found the little provision to the distinction between Selayah and Keringkam. However, there are five elements posited which have contributed to the depletion of interest among the young generation in the production of Selayah Keringkam. Those elements are labelled as Price, Realism, Technology, Proficient and Insight.

  • Malaysian Product Design Identity: Review on the ‘Keywords’
    ISSN 2411-9571 (Print) European Journal of Economics May-Aug 2017 ISSN 2411-4073 (online) and Business Studies Vol. 8 Nr. 1 Malaysian Product Design Identity: Review on the ‘Keywords’ Amirul Fahmi Razali, David Hands Lancaster Institute for the Contemporary Arts (LICA), Lancaster University, United Kingdom Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin, UniSZA, Malaysia Abstract Considering Malaysia as a multi-ethnic country, it is difficult to determine and define the cultural identity to represent Malaysia (Mun, Fern, & Chin, 2015), and use it as a characteristic in designing a product. This has been a challenging issue for most Malaysian local designers to design a Malaysia-look product based on a national identity characteristic. There is no proof that the product characteristic can be summed up or generalized based on the understanding of multi-ethnic agreement decision-making (Zainal, Othman, & Samsudin, 2015). With regards to Malaysia, the primary issue is about the national identity identification for product design. This issue then prompted to the question that would Malaysian designers be able to establish a Malaysian product with a national identity by looking at this multi-ethnic society? This research reviews the literature concerning Malaysian identity based on articles and visuals. It aims at getting the general keywords related to the components in culture and yet to be incorporated with the design characteristics at the beginning of ideation process. The basis of this study is referring to the dominant culture study by Edensor (2002), cultural identity components evaluation by Ibrahim (2015), and culture and identity ‘key issues’ by Clarke (2011). By understanding the cultural component within the society, pulling out the keywords, and validating the chosen keywords by conducting a survey, these keywords will act as the guidance in visualising a characteristic; and there will be greater chances for Malaysian designer to success in developing products with strong Malaysian identities.

[email protected] Published online: 15 November 2016 To cite this article: Hanisa Hassan. 2016. A study on the development of baju kurung design in the context of cultural changes in modern Malaysia. Wacana Seni Journal of Arts Discourse, 15: 63–94. http://dx.doi.org/10.21315/ws2016.15.3 To link to this article: http://dx.doi.org/10.21315/ws2016.15.3 ABSTRACT The baju kurung is a type of traditional dress used by Malay descendants in the Nusantara. The baju kurung is prevalent in countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia (Jambi, Riau, Padang, Bentan). Although these countries might refer to the style using different names, the baju kurung is defined by its similar cut and pattern. The advancement of current fashion has changed the concept and understanding of the baju kurung, which is closely related to changes in Malay cultural phenomena. This study examines modifications to baju kurung designs to determine if the style still represents the identity of Malay women. This study takes a qualitative approach by applying the aesthetic morphology analysis method to understand how design developments correspond to the cultural changes in modern Malaysia. This study focuses on the current development of baju kurung designs by using several samples of baju kurung designs by local Malay designers as the primary data. Historical references of baju kurung are used to identify variables that may have changed in modern designs.

  • The Return of Pua Kumbu: the Struggle of the Iban Traditional Weaving in Kapuas Hulu, West Kalimantan, Indonesia
    The Return of Pua Kumbu: The Struggle of the Iban Traditional Weaving in Kapuas Hulu, West Kalimantan, Indonesia Semiarto A. Purwanto1, A. Cahyo Nugroho2 and Nita Trismaya3 1Department of Anthropology, Universitas Indonesia 2Semarak Cerlang Nusa Consultancy, Research and Education for Social Transformation, Jakarta, Indonesia 3Sekolah Tinggi Desain Interstudi, Jakarta, Indonesia Keywords: Pua Kumbu, Iban, Indonesia Conservation, Cultural Continuity, Adat Abstract: The paper describes struggle of a local tradition to survive in a changing of complex and rapid social and cultural context. Pua kumbu as part of the old Iban culture was overlooked, as was the case with the Iban tribe who were regarded as underdeveloped. Despite of many changes, pua kumbu is still very popular and widely spread in the Iban communities in Batang Lupar Sub-district, Kapuas Hulu District, West Kalimantan, which became the site of our two months observation early in 2018. While many experts believe that the growing contribution of local culture in current Indonesia was related to the launching of the Law of Regional Autonomy Indonesia, we argue that the process is more complicated. Our research shows that Iban weaving or pua kumbu was basically never completely disappeared from the life of Iban people. It is last for centuries since the Iban still considers it as scared and a part of their custom-bound life. As there also some NGO facilitations to conserve traditional weaving and the commersialization of them, we conclude that the continuity of pua’ kumbu is contain with social and cultural narrative to include adat, close interaction with development agents, and market. 1 INTRODUCTION to the changing of political systems (Aspinal, 2011).

Lexis 3 : « Borrowing / L’emprunt » 11 Lexical Borrowing in Malaysian English: Influences of Malay1 Tan Siew Imm2 Abstract During its evolution in the region that is today Malaysia, English has come into contact with a range of diverse, typologically-distinct languages. All these languages have influenced the lexicon of Malaysia English (ME), but it is Malay that has contributed to some of the most remarkable characteristics of this variety of English (see, for example, Lowenberg [1986 and 2000]; and Morais [2001]). This paper explores how the English-Malay contact has resulted in the incorporation of Malay features into the lexicon of ME. Using a corpus-based approach, the study analysed a comprehensive range of borrowed features extracted from the author’s Malaysian English Cewspaper Corpus (MEN Corpus) for the linguistic processes behind the borrowing phenomenon. Haugen’s [1950] groundbreaking work on lexical borrowing provides the theoretical framework of this study. It is proposed that the underlying systematicity of the processes involved is reflected in the linguistic outcomes, and that there is much potential for corpus-based lexicography where ME is concerned.
