Muslim masculinities in Bangladeshi and Malaysian Anglophone fiction: An Empirical Framework
Contested Homes in Speculative Futurities in Anglophone Bruneian Fiction
Speculative futurities that are delineated in Bruneian author Aammton Alias's Anglophone novel Gergasi Wrath (2023) offer a critique of human exploitation of nature, land, and indigenous communities who claim simultaneous ownership of demarcated territories. In his latest novel, Alias takes issue with notions of modern development and progress under the guise of capitalist greed, materialism, and power that infiltrates and complicates the concept…
Desis' identity crisis in America: Examining cultural and racial politics in Samira Ahmed's Love, Hate and Other Filters (2018) and Sanjena Sathian's Gold Diggers (2021)
This paper examines literary representations of Desis, who are commonly associated with the South Asian American diaspora, in terms of their simultaneous identity formations as ethnic Indians and American citizens. It analyses the vulnerabilities of second generation Desis in America while growing up in the post-9/11 era. Poststructuralist philosopher Judith Butler's concept of a precarious life is critically employed to investigate sociopolitica…
Resilient women: Transnational homes and identities in Tahmima Anam's A Golden Age
Foregrounding theoretical expositions of the home and identity, this paper examines historical novel by Bangladeshi author Tahmima Anam entitled A Golden Age (2007), which explores gendered roles within familial separation during political unrest. Using a transnational lens, it addresses shifting meanings of home and identity amidst nation-fragmentation during the politically fractious period of Bangladesh liberation war. Deploying a historico-li…
Organic Solidarity in the National Response to Covid-19 in Brunei Darussalam
This paper examines the national solidarity in Brunei Darussalam during the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequential impact on younger generations. Utilising Emile Durkheim's solidarity theories, I examine how young people's social media use builds on state discourse in the pandemic. I contend that a shift towards an organic society is visible through a social cohesion that is based on differentiated roles. I argue that the citizenry plays a vital…
Mental Health Challenges of Migrant Domestic Workers in the Covid-19 Pandemic: The Case of Brunei Darussalam
This paper offers insight into the mental health challenges encountered by migrant domestic workers (MDWs) during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brunei Darussalam. Data collected in one-to-one interviews evaluate their oral stories using various mental health linguistic codes. A preliminary study addresses initial signs of anxiety and other mental health issues that a segment of the migrant worker community has confronted due to empl…
Globalisation and Cultures in Southeast Asia: Demise, Fragmentation, Transformation
This paper examines the extent to which contemporary globalisation diminishes local culture to pose itself as a formidable threat to Southeast Asian cultural values. Southeast Asia is home to thousands of different ethnic peoples with their distinctive languages, cultures, mores and religious beliefs. These unique traits comprise their cultural heritage, which is passed down from generation to generation. However, the contemporary process of glob…
Personal Narratives of Illness: Redressing Madness in the Singaporean Fiction of Amanda Lee Koe
Amanda Lee Koe’s short stories (2013) redress the limited tolerance for the mad citizen-subject, whose subjectivity is obscured, if not erased, by medical prescriptions. Official and often state-sanctioned conceptualizations of the peculiar mind are grievously justified in behavioral manifestations deemed socially unacceptable. Koe’s stories about idiosyncratic Singaporeans illustrate the way personal experiences—of memory loss, homosexual tenden…
