Abstract:From 1983–84 I was a fellow of the Institute of Current World Affairs, studying visual communication in the Malaysian advertising industry, and during this period I created a suite of sepia-toned ink illustrations of Georgetown. I returned to Penang in 1999, this time as a Fulbright fellow, and was invited by the Alliance Française to mount a solo exhibition of this work, to which I added some new images. In 2003, I showed the work again, this time in the United States, again adding more images. Thus, the paintings of Georgetown shown here span a period of twenty years, mostly during the period of rent control, a policy that underlay both Georgetown's preservation and its decay.All of the paintings are in ink on illustration board, some with small additions of acrylic. I have used salt, rice, alcohol, and other desiccants to recreate the textures of decomposition seen on much of Georgetown's architecture. Most of the images are based on photographs that I took at sunrise and sunset, when the juxtaposition of shadow and light are optimum. My goal was to highlight the beauty of the mundane, the overlooked, the pedestrian, which, for me, made Georgetown, in the era before it became a UNESCO heritage site, so captivating.

The colonisation of Southeast Asia was a long and often violent process where numerous military campaigns were waged by the colonial powers across the region. The notion of racial difference was crucial in many of these wars, as native Southeast Asian societies were often framed in negative terms as 'savage' and 'backward' communities that needed to be subdued and 'civilised'. This collection of critical essays focuses on the colonial construction of race and looks at how the colonial wars in 19th-century Southeast Asia were rationalised via recourse to theories of racial difference, making race a significant factor in the wars of Empire. Looking at the colonial wars in Java, Borneo, Siam, the Philippines, the Malay Peninsula and other parts of Southeast Asia, the essays examine the manner in which the idea of racial difference was weaponised by the colonising powers and how forms of local resistance often worked through such colonial structures of identity politics.

Abstract:This article updates a description on Malay and Bugis manuscripts and early printed books at the Library of Congress published by A. Kohar Rony almost thirty years ago. It discusses the provenance of these holdings, linking them to the United States Exploring Expedition of 1838–42 by means of lists of manuscript and book purchases found at the Smithsonian Institution Archives, and draws attention to the role of the American missionary, Alfred North, in their acquisition. The article also highlights three items at the Library of Congress that were re-discovered due to these lists, among them a Malay code of law copied by Abdullah bin Abdul Kadir. In addition, the article points towards a digitized collection of 46 nineteenth-century letters available online through the Library of Congress website (https://lccn.loc.gov/2019276520).
摘要:本文更新了a . Kohar Rony近30年前在美国国会图书馆出版的关于马来语和武吉语手稿和早期印刷书籍的描述。它讨论了这些藏品的来源，通过在史密森学会档案馆发现的手稿和书籍购买清单将它们与1838-42年的美国探险队联系起来，并提请注意美国传教士阿尔弗雷德·诺斯在这些藏品的收购中所起的作用。这篇文章还强调了国会图书馆的三件藏品因这些名单而被重新发现，其中包括由阿卜杜拉·本·阿卜杜勒·卡迪尔(Abdullah bin Abdul Kadir)抄写的马来法典。此外，文章还指出，国会图书馆网站(https://lccn.loc.gov/2019276520)在线提供了46封19世纪信件的数字化收藏。

Abstrak:Tulisan ini membahas sejumlah aspek historis dan filologis berkaitan dengan lima naskah La Galigo yang disimpan di Library of Congress di Washington D.C., Amerika Serikat. Dari segi umur naskah yang disalin sekitar tahun 1840 ini boleh dianggap sebagai naskah yang cukup tua, sedangkan tempat penyalinan menarik pula, yaitu Singapura. Dari penelusuran perjalanan naskah itu dari Singapura ke Washington D.C. nama kolektor dan penyalin dapat diketahui. Ternyata si penyalin bernama Husin bin Ismail, seorang Bugis keturunan Wajoq yang bekerja di Singapura di kalangan orang Inggris, Amerika dan Belanda. Husin bin Ismail adalah seorang penyalin yang sangat produktif dan yang berdampak besar atas pemeliharaan sastra Melayu pada khususnya.
摘要：本文讨论了与存放在美国华盛顿特区国会图书馆的五本《加利戈》手稿有关的一些历史和哲学方面。从年代的角度来看，这本写于1840年的手稿可以说是一本相当古老的手稿，而这个遗址很有趣，就是新加坡。从剧本从新加坡传到华盛顿特区，收藏者和抄袭者的名字就为人所知。原来是一位名叫Husin bin Ismail的买家，他是Wajoq后裔的Bugis，曾在新加坡与英国、美国和荷兰一起工作。侯辛·宾·伊斯梅尔是一位非常有成就的作家，尤其是对梅拉育文学的维护具有重要影响。

Abstract:The Cham refugee community in Malaysia consists primarily of refugees from Cambodia and Vietnam. While they recognize each other as sharing a common ethnic background, divisions based on their country they came from serve as an obstacle to unity and solidarity. Food bridges the gap between these two groups. Dishes identified as Cham combine the culinary tradition of the two countries of origin and create a community of gustation. By consuming these foods and being a part of a community of gustation, the Cham articulate their ethnic identity and become a more coherent group.
