Double agency in selected Muslim chick lit narratives
Drillability & Worldbuilding
This article examines how participatory fanfiction reconfigures the Joker as portrayed in Todd Phillips’s Joker (2019), transforming Arthur Fleck into a “tragic villain” whose psychological depth invites sustained reader empathy. While the film already departs from comic-book canon by presenting the Joker as a socially marginalised and mentally fragile figure, the Wattpad fanfiction Joker (2019) by artham_asylum extends this transformation throug…
Harnessing Technology
This paper examines the innovative integration of technology in literacy development for English as a Second Language (ESL) learners, focusing specifically on secondary school students in Malaysia. As educational practices shift from traditional methods of the 20th century to advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), ESL students encounter unprecedented opportunities to engage more effectively with the English language. Employin…
Reimagining Cultural Identity and Cosmopolitanism
This paper delves into the reimagining of cultural identity through the corpus of a prominent Malaysian novelist, K.S. Maniam. By exploring Maniam’s novels within the framework of cosmopolitanism, which challenges traditional notions of exclusive and divisive cultural identities, this paper unravels the complex interplay between colonial legacies and contemporary cultural narratives in this Malaysian novelist’s canon. Maniam’s literary contributi…
Spaces of Hope
Minority Muslim women living in Western societies have been continuously marginalised in several contexts. One example is their freedom to visibly project their identity as Muslims and practice Islam as their way of life without being misrepresented or misunderstood. Another is the discriminating cultural practices towards them within the community that they belong to. Using two Muslim chick lit novels as case studies and the theme of ‘spaces of …
Engaging Malaysia
The Garden of Evening Mists is a symbolically charged historical narrative about the ramifications of Japanese colonisation in Malaya in the 1940s. A prominent metaphor in this novel is ‘the garden’ in memorium of the protagonist’s deceased sister. This article explores the greening of postcolonial memories of the Japanese colonisation of Malaya in the novel and its deep engagement of Malaysian framed within the social, political and historical c…
Postcolonial Civic Identity and Youth (dis)organizing Environment
The fluid realities of youth in postcolonial nation-states can reflect changing and challenging landscapes. Their engagements with environment, for example, are not only elaborated in social, political, and economical contexts, but also generated through values, beliefs, and identities. This article adds to contemporary debates by positing that discussions on postcolonial civic identities have to be accompanied by youth narratives and their consi…
Archetypal Motherhood and the National Agenda
The grand narratives of Mother India posit women’s emancipation as the central concern, insisting on her public participation in the educational and economic sectors. The relegation of the archetypal motherhood to the national periphery is strictly rooted in the Hindu traditional culture. The schisms of caste, class, and religion in contemporary society are normalised whilst the gendered undercurrents of domestic violence, chauvinism and religiou…
Advice-Giving Roles and Strategies in Selected Faculty Member-Graduate Student Advising
In mentoring graduate students, it is hard to deny the ubiquity of graduate student advising. Faculty members, who are usually engaged in advising to tease out problems and suggest solutions, could often times be faced with negative attributions concerning faculty members’ competence, as well as receive unaligned responses rather than collaborative understanding of issues or recommendations. While previous studies on advising may have focused on …
Rediscovery of the Malay ‘local
Previous research has shown that while TV fiction is coloured with narrative appeals, themes of love and binary opposition (good versus evil, love versus hate and rich against poor), TV producers continue to tailor their products to match audience’s pleasure. Such formula may be clichéd, but in the world where news of war, terrorism, diseases and conflicts often make the headlines, respite from harsh realities of life can often be found through s…
