Literary Agents in the Malay World

On the edge of a tradition
Malay manuscript culture(s) were based around a number of ruling houses and religious centres that were dispersed in the Malay world. The chirographical tradition which was not long-standing swiftly disappeared at the turn of the 20th century as colonialism brought mass education, print literacy and forms of modernity in general. In this final phase of the manuscript culture the printing industry and an ongoing monetisation of economic and cultur…
A Jawi Sourcebook for the Study of Malay Palaeography and Orthography
This special issue of Indonesia and the Malay World was compiled by friends and colleagues as a tribute to Professor E. Ulrich Kratz's three decades of teaching Jawi and traditional Malay literature at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, and to mark his 70th birthday on 14 October 2014. Reflecting Ulrich's deep interest in Malay manuscript texts and letters over many years (see the list of publications compiled by He…
Bangsawan
Unprecedented economic growth and technological innovations immensely intensified flows of people moving around the world in search of a better life during the 19th century. Itinerant theatre troupes joined in these flows of migration touring cosmopolitan centres of Europe and the colonial empires, where they spawned new theatrical forms performed by growing numbers of local people or other migrants. In the Malay world this surge in theatrical fo…

Negotiating the Great Depression
The Great Depression (1929–35) seriously affected the world economy but it was also a catalyst of the development of political awareness among the Malays. In conjunction with the growth of political awareness there was the rise of consumerism, which also was accelerated by the Great Depression. People were taught to appreciate a new way of life centring around luxury goods that became cheaper and reportedly within the reach of everyone, if one on…
My Neighbour’s Blooming Flower Garden’
This article discusses works of four Malay authors who deal with Malaya's colonial past through parody, and expressions of admiration and disillusion when portraying British characters or describing travel to Britain. It seems that only a few Malay authors have tried to ‘write off’ their colonial past in the very obvious way of depicting and subverting colonial masters and systems. This may be due to the use of the Malay language, which provides …
Abdullah Munsyi and the missionaries
Father of Modern Malay Literature is an epithet often ascribed to Abdullah bin Abdul Kadir Munsyi, a Malay author who lived in Melaka and Singapore during the first half of the nineteenth century. Two of his works, Hikayat Abdullah (Tale of Abdullah) and Kisah pelayaran Abdullah ke Kelantan (Account of Abdullah's voyage to Kelantan) are the stories most often ingled out as those that form the bridge between traditional and modern Malay writing. C…

Of Missed Opportunities, Colonial Law and Islam-Phobia
Edward Said's works have been instructive in helping to understand the expanding influence of the West over the Orient, and the increasing apprehension this caused within colonialism. Western education was introduced to enlighten indigenous peoples, but at the same time it sowed the seeds of competition with Western hegemony. The expansion of the Netherlands East Indies in the course of the nineteenth century triggered Islamic-inspired resistance…

On Sex, Drugs and Good Manners
The first monolingual Malay dictionary was compiled by Raja Ali Haji out of concern that the Malay language and culture were in a process of ongoing degeneration. He also included words referring to sex and bodily functions so that Malays would know when and where not to use them. The dictionary is thus a refreshing alternative to somewhat Victorian-inspired dictionaries from the nineteenth century
A Malay of Bugis Ancestry
The descendants of Bugis mercenary forces that liberated Riau from east Sumatran invaders became an integral part of the local Malay community by the mid-nineteenth century. At that time Raja Ali Haji and Haji Ibrahim, two Malay authors of Bugis descent, wrote various tracts to legitimise their presence in Riau and to facilitate Bugis integration into the Malay community, but may have led to continuing divisions along ethnic lines in later years

Four Malay letters from Raja Ali Haji to Von De Wall
In the course of our research into the literary life of Riau in the nineteenth century and on the Dutch colonial officials on the scene at that time, we came across four letters from Raja Ali Haji (hereafter referred to as RAH) to Hermann von de Wall (vdW) which form part of the Van der Tuuk collection in the Leiden University Library. These letters shed some new light on the relations between these two men, as well as on the personal life of the…
