Download or read book Peranakan Chinese Home written by Ronald G. Knapp and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2013-03-10 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the rarified Peranakan (native-born Chinese of Southeast Asia) aesthetics that are today highly sought-after for their beauty: distinctive furniture and ceramics, textiles and jewelry, and many other art objects. Peranakan Chinese Home displays these extraordinary objects, visible markers of a highly developed culture. The broad range of beautiful objects which the Peranakan Chinese created and enjoyed in their daily lives is astounding. Each chapter in The Peranakan Chinese Home focuses on a different area and presents objects used or found in those spaces. Each piece is described in the context of their utility as household objects, as part of periodic celebrations to mark the Chinese New Year and other holidays, or in important life passage rituals relating to ancestor worship, birth, marriage, mourning and burial. The meaning of the rich symbolic and ornamental motifs found on the objects is discussed in detail and key differences are highlighted between Peranakan objects and similar ones found in China. A fascinating mix of Chinese, European and Southeast Asian influences, the distinctly Peranakan identity of a people and their culture is beautifully portrayed through objects and archival photographs in this lovely and exotic book.

Download or read book Eco-Urbanism and the South East Asian City written by Shireen Jahn Kassim and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-13 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the history of urban design in tropical South East Asia with a view to offering solutions to contemporary architectural and urban problems. The book examines how pre-colonial forms and patterns from South East Asian traditional cities, overlaid by centuries of change, recall present notions of ecological and organic urbanism. These may look disorganised, yet they reflect and suggest certain common patterns that inform eco-urban design paradigms for the development of future cities. Taking a thematic approach, the book examines how such historical findings, debates and discussions can assist designers and policy makers to interpret and then instil identities in urban design across the Asian region. The book weaves a discourse across planning, urban design, architecture and ornamentation dimensions to reconstruct forgotten forms that align with the climate of place and resynchronise with the natural world, unearthing an ecologically benign urbanism that can inform the future. Written in an accessible style, this book will be an invaluable reference for researchers and students within the fields of cultural geography, urban studies and architecture.

Book excerpt: ANDAI manusia bisa memilih, tidak mungkin ada yang mahu dilahirkan serba kekurangan, apatah lagi penuh kecelaan. Akan tetapi, mana mungkin itu terjadi. Kuasa ALLAH membataskan segalanya. Kerana itu, Syifa menerima segala ketentuan ILAHI dengan penuh redha. Dipujuknya hati setiap kali dicaci hanya kerana mempunyai tanda lahir di pipi. Apa pun bagi Nafisah, Syifa adalah anugerah istimewa dari TUHAN dengan kelebihan tersendiri hingga dia berhajat menyunting Syifa untuk dijadikan isteri buat anaknya, Muszahri. Dan Syifa, nyata terkejut dengan keputusan Muszahri yang sudi menerimanya. Duka dan malang datang bertimpa. Entah apa silapnya, Muszahri langsung tidak menyentuhnya selepas mereka diijabkabulkan. Luna, gadis yang memuja Muszahri pula tidak jemu-jemu cuba meruntuhkan istana cintanya. Malah kakak kandungnya sendiri, Zahra sering mencurah bicara berbisa mencacinya. Syifa kelelahan. Kalau bahagia bukan tercipta untuknya, apalah daya. Mungkin itu sudah takdirnya... dipandang tanpa hati, mencintai tanpa dicintai.

What is the big deal about cherki games? And, more importantly, what does it mean to be a Peranakan? With a heritage that combines the best of the Chinese and Malay cultures, the hybrid nature of the Peranakans has yielded enviable works of art in the realm of architecture, embroidery, beadwork and the culinary arts. Join us on a colourful journey into the history, lifestyle and unique character of the Peranakan people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite widespread recognition that we are living in an era of mass globalization, there has been a startling resurgence of nationalism in many regions of the world. Alongside this development, many new national museums are being built or refurbished, pointing to the critical role the telling of history plays in processes of building national identity. From new museum construction to the re-purposing of colonial monuments, and from essentialized narratives to spaces which encourage visitors to dream, this book explores the development and influence of national museums in three contemporary Asian societies – Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macau.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Peranakan Legacy captures the rich heritage of a fast disappearing way of life and put on record many traditions and practices which were previously handed only down from generation to generation. The term ‘Baba’ is used to refer to the Straits-born Chinese or Peranakans. The Babas boast a unique culture and way of life that is an amalgamation of Chinese and Malay customs and etiquette. Their culture is perhaps best captured in the beautiful clothing, stunning jewellery, pretty porcelain and other artefacts used in daily living. Girls were taught, from a young age, how to cook a variety of elaborate meals as well as crafts such as beading and embroidery. The result is a rich legacy of splendid kebayas (embroidered blouses), beadwork and various other items. Through lavish, full-colour photographs of Peranakan artefacts and clothing, this book explains the origins of the various customs and traditions. While some customs are still practiced today, other more complicated ones have disappeared as modern babas adapted to contemporary lifestyles which are deemed more convenient and practical.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, Singapore has advanced rapidly towards becoming a both a global city-state and a key nodal point in the international economic sphere. These developments have caused us to reassess how we understand this changing nation, including its history, population, and geography, as well as its transregional and transnational experiences with the external world. This collection spans several disciplines in the humanities and social sciences and draws on various theoretical approaches and methodologies in order to produce a more refined understanding of Singapore and to reconceptialize the challenges faced by the country and its peoples.
