This book was released on 2012-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malaysian folk tales are rich with symbolic imagery which tells the story of a nation and its people - the people of Malaysia. To further understand the psyche of the Malaysian people, some popular folk tales have been studied in this book using Jung's theory of archetypes. Reoccurring motifs, symbols and imagery suggest that Malaysian folk tales and Western fairy tales have much in common thereby subscribing to Jung's theory that archetypes are present in all human psyches. Jung further postulates that this is proof of the Universal Unconscious. The human mind does not exist independently and is fused to the Universal Unconscious thereby explaining why similar motifs, symbols and imagery exist in the oral literature of different cultures all over the world. However, these symbols and motifs are similar but never identical due to the concept of the collective cultural unconscious, a theory which was not acknowledged by Jung. This theory suggests that diverse cultures of people tend to subconsciously pass on set ideas of thinking, behavioral patterns and stereotypical images to the next generation.

Download or read book Malaysian Folktales for Children's Theatre written by Jay Breckenridge and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2019-06-09 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Featuring many familiar Malaysian folk characters, both human and animal, this collection of tales provides an entertaining window into Malaysian cultural values and ideals. Both product and process are included. Most of the stories are presented as first collected in Malay, then translated into English and augmented through research and discussion. The finished tales often provide a fusion of differing versions. Sometimes a character barely mentioned in one version of a tale turns out to have a more significant role in another version. And sometimes separate versions of a tale include different adventures of the same central character. Many of these alternatives are incorporated to enrich the finished stories for dramatization and help provide gentle moral lessons--as well as entertainment for children of all ages. The finished play scripts for presentation by actors for Children's Theatre--or for presentation by the children themselves--are developed for presentation in a classroom as well as on a stage, with no sets, costumes, or props required. The actors (in neutral clothing) become the set pieces as well as characters and narrators in the tales, and they mime the props. Producers of the plays, of course, can add sets, costumes and props to enhance performances. In addition, there are story narratives ready for teachers of language or theatre arts to development as classroom exercises with their students. Likewise the Readers Theatre selections illustrate a range of staging methods, from reading in place to full enactment of scripts--again, with costumes, props, and scenery optional. The original impetus for the book was the interest of teachers of English in the primary schools near the University of Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur when these plays were presented for their students. Their sense of the educational as well as the entertainment value of the play presentations prompted this documentation of the process, from story collection through finished dramatizations.

This book was released on 2020-03-15 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fully updated 4th edition of his ever-popular Crossroads, Jim Baker adds new analysis following the watershed 2018 general elections in Malaysia and reviews the policies and impact of the next generation of Singapore’s leaders. The original text, which traces the complex currents of history and politics of Malaysia and Singapore—neighbours with a common past—has also been revised to re-evaluate events in the context of new historical findings and perspectives. From Srivijaya to British colony to modern states, this is “history without tears” (The New Straits Times). “A must-read” — Ken Whiting, former Associated Press Singapore Bureau Chief “Baker’s thrilling book profits from his refusal to separate Singapore’s history from Malaysia’s. What we get is a broad story filled with surprising details drawn from his own experiences and from other scholarly works and told in an easy and captivating style.” — Dr Ooi Kee Beng, Senior Fellow at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, Singapore "Jim Baker’s Crossroads is bound to raise more than a few eyebrows in more than a few quarters. His book presents a side of history not many may be aware of or even want to know … it is as thought-provoking as it is enlightening.” — The Sun

Download or read book Hindustani Traces in Malay Ghazal written by Gisa Jähnichen and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘A song, so old and yet still famous’ is a Malay expression of admiration for an exotic singing style, a musical contemplation on the beauty of nature, God, and love. The ghazal exists in manifold cultures all over Asia, Africa, and Southern Europe, and is intimately connected to Islam and its periphery. In each region, ghazals have been shaped into other expressions using imported features and transforming them into ‘local art’. In the Malay world, ghazals come in various shapes and with different meanings. ‘The song, so old’ is the song that came before the proliferation of mass media. The first ghazals that were heard in the Malay world might have been those ghazals performed by Hindustani musicians traveling in Southeast Asia. However, later on, the ghazal’s development was additionally triggered by mass media, with technological progress enhancing change in urban entertainment and introducing new sources of further adaptations. In this context, the second half line of the lyrics mentioned, ‘and yet still famous’, means that despite being old, the song is highly regarded as an art in itself. Malay ghazals are still attractive and musically demanding. They were traditionally not performed for mass appeal, but, rather, for a small knowledgeable audience that valued musical refinement and taste.
