Bedbugs and Grasshoppers
How is literally, a nation translated? This paper looks at translation practices as historical process and practice rather than submitting them to causal explanations with respect to the constitution of the nation-state. It takes as its starting point, two contemporary Malay words negeri (province, state) and negara (country, nation-state) and how they once had opposing definitions.

“The Sigh of the East”
L'étude des récits de voyageurs qui sont allés à Singapour au XIXe siècle révèle de quelle manière l'odorat, le toucher et le goût ont influé sur la subjectivité des voyageurs occidentaux et sur I'idée qu'ils se faisaient de Singapour et de la Malaisie britannique à cette période. Souvent, le même endroit suscitait différents sentiments: soit une admiration pour la nature, soit un dégoût pour l'état de délabrement qui régnait, et parfois même un …
