Haiku is an unrhymed verse form of Japanese origin having three lines containing usually five, seven, and five syllables respectively, a poem in this form usually having a seasonal reference. I have always been searching for new ways to express myself and my recent collection of Haiku in ‘In One Breath’ was published in 2022. I chose to do seven Haiku to capture the various foods I enjoy covering a myriad of cuisines that reflect a very multicultural Singapore with multinational presence. Not that I am numerologist, but the number seven was particularly interesting because it consisted of the union of the physical (number 4) with the spiritual (number 3), and in Pythagorean numerology the number 7 means spirituality. Furthermore, as an early prime number in the series of positive integers, the number seven has also greatly symbolic associations in religion, mythology, superstition, philosophy and now in poetry as it reflects both the physical and spiritual nature of food. Food that unites and reunites relationships, always prepared with love and respect for the origins of the recipe and respect for the consumer as it becomes one with the body that enjoys its nourishment and teases the senses.

The identity and position of the Chinese are problematic in Brunei Darussalam, where the primary identity of the Malays as “authentic” natives and citizens is upheld by the state ideology of Melayu Islam Beraja (Malay Islamic Monarchy; henceforth MIB). MIB moreover warns of the threat posed by the difference of non-Malays, in this case, the Chinese, while noting their potential contributions to social and economic development. Brunei’s ambivalent treatment of the Chinese Other is reflected in the Malay novel Pengabdian (“Submission,” 1987). Authored by Brunei’s most famous woman writer, Norsiah Abd Gapar, Pengabdian employs the strategies of stereotyping and idealising to produce an MIB-compliant narrative in which the dangers posed by difference, specifically represented by Chinese masculinity, are erased while Brunei Malay masculinity is defended as the hegemonic ideal through the trope of conversion. Using Connell’s theory of masculinities in relation to the strategies of stereotyping and idealising, this article examines how the representations of Brunei Chinese men engage the intersections of race, gender and class that undergird ethnic identities as well as citizenship in Brunei. In so doing, my analysis considers why the Chinese are still treated with such ambivalence and unease, and what this means for interethnic relations on the ground.
华人的身份和地位在文莱达鲁萨兰国是有问题的,在那里,马来人作为“真正的”本地人和公民的主要身份得到了Melayu Islam Beraja(马来伊斯兰君主政体;以下简称MIB)的国家意识形态的支持。MIB还警告说,非马来人,在这种情况下是中国人的差异所带来的威胁,同时指出他们对社会和经济发展的潜在贡献。文莱对待中国他者的矛盾态度反映在马来小说《彭阿扁》(1987年)中。由文莱最著名的女作家Norsiah Abd Gapar撰写的《彭阿卜典》采用了刻板印象和理想化的策略,产生了一种符合MIB的叙事,在这种叙事中,差异带来的危险,特别是以中国男子气概为代表的危险被抹去,而文莱马来男子气概则通过皈依的比喻被捍卫为霸权理想。利用Connell的男性气质理论与刻板印象和理想化策略的关系,本文考察了文莱华人男性的表征如何参与种族、性别和阶级的交叉,这些交叉是文莱民族身份和公民身份的基础。在这样做的过程中,我的分析考虑了为什么中国人仍然受到如此矛盾和不安的对待,以及这对当地的种族关系意味着什么。

Kevin Burton Smith in his article ‘Murder on the Menu’ (2010), comments, “right from the start there’s been a curious link between food (and drink) and crime fiction.” Despite the fact that culinary mystery novels arose as a subgenre of crime fiction in the late twentieth century, food has always been a part of crime fiction, and has played an important role in the early stories of Sherlock Holmes and Edgar Allan Poe. Food is frequently depicted as a source of stability and order in crime novels, establishing verisimilitude, creating a genuine world, a world as we know it. Agatha Christie, too, has included significant reference to food, eating habits and food rituals throughout her detective stories, using it as a tool to create a feminine and domestic space. This paper will analyse how Christie has used the depiction of food as a tool to further the narrative, portraying it in her novels as a calming ritual and a clue to the murder. However, food in Christie’s stories can also gain a more sinister undertone, and this paper will also analyse this, focusing on how Christie transforms food into a murder weapon itself, as a bad omen indicating events, thereby, blending reality with the storyline and lending vivacity to her characters and her plots.
凯文·博顿·史密斯(Kevin Burton Smith)在2010年的文章《菜单上的谋杀》(Murder on the Menu)中评论道,“从一开始,食物(和饮料)和犯罪小说之间就有一种奇怪的联系。”,在福尔摩斯和爱伦·坡的早期小说中扮演了重要角色。在犯罪小说中,食物经常被描绘成稳定和秩序的来源,建立了真实性,创造了一个真实的世界,一个我们所知道的世界。阿加莎·克里斯蒂在她的侦探小说中也大量提及食物、饮食习惯和饮食仪式,并将其作为创造女性和家庭空间的工具。本文将分析克里斯蒂如何利用对食物的描绘作为进一步叙事的工具,在她的小说中将其描绘成一种平静的仪式和谋杀的线索。然而,克里斯蒂故事中的食物也会有更险恶的含义,本文也将对此进行分析,重点关注克里斯蒂如何将食物本身转化为凶器,作为预示事件的坏兆头,从而将现实与故事情节融合在一起,为她的人物和情节增添活力。

As a multiracial country, food is a significant component of the Malaysian culture. Local cuisines serve to portray the different ethnicities which make up its population. Reflecting the nation’s unique identity, Malaysian Heritage Food (MHF) has become internationally acclaimed due to the rise of the digital era. The Internet has enabled easy access to information on various local and international cuisines, ranging from personal food vlog channels to dedicated culinary expert websites. The quest and appreciation for famous cuisines and technological convenience give rise to a relatively prominent digital genre: online food reviews, a significant source of information for gastronomes worldwide. Thus, this paper explores online food reviews focusing on Nasi Lemak, a specific MHF Malay cuisine and Malaysia’s national dish. Employing a genre perspective, I investigate the roles of text and visuals in these reviews to make sense of the form, function and meaning of this digital genre. This paper establishes the interdependence and integration between the textual and visual modes to decipher the online representation of Nasi Lemak in a Malaysian context and the digital space. The online Nasi Lemak review as a genre illustrates the significance of its multimodal nature in describing the Nasi Lemak story, simultaneously offering potential early insights into the sociocultural nuances surrounding this MHF.
