The Voice of the Subaltern's Subaltern The Tionghua Peranakan Women Writers (1908-1935)
No full textIn her article "Can the Subaltern Speak?" (Spivak 1996), Gayatri Spivak argues that the subaltern's voice cannot be heard and will not be heard because of the all consuming power of a hegemony and the "nostalgia for lost origins" (1996: 204) which necessarily envelopes the subaltern. Ironically, her doubts in retrieving subaltern history follows her initial calls for Subaltern Studies to include the female subaltern
Banalities of subalternism: Positing the Tionghua Peranakan in the Colonial discourse
No full textEdward Said's Orientalism (1978). suggested that Orientalist discourse was a devious effort of the West to lure the colonized and the colonizer into an imaginary existence that would help ensure its domination of the East. Through the work of Homi K. Bhabha, this discourse was broadened to include the notion of delusive and elusive representations of the colonized "Other". When Lacan introduced the psychoanalytic approach to complement the interrogation of tropes in western historiography, it became conclusive that the colonial discourse would embody resistance in the form of subaltern voices from the movement of colonial encounter. This article hopes to posit the Tionghua peranakan people within this colonial discourse, claiming their subaltern marginality and diaspo[ricl experience as the impetus that propelled them into a head-on encounter with the colonial

After the tsunami: challenges of a changing literary landscape
No full textOn the 9th of May 2018, at the 14th Malaysian General Election (MGE 14), a political tsunami (Hemananthani Sivanandam 2018) occurred when the opposition scored a historic win over Barisan National after 61 years in power (BBC News 2018). The admirable bloodless change of power which many allude to as "people's power" with grand plans for a “Malaysia Baru” under the aegis of a previous prime minister, also known as the father of modern Malaysia (Reuters 2018) nanogenarian, Tun Mahathir Mohamad overcame many obstacles amongst them allegations of illegal tampering of electoral votes and corruption by those in power (Hemananthani Sivanandam 2018). Pakatan Harapan or the Alliance of Hope, the new coalition ruling Malaysia has vowed to overturn and change the core of governance with the introduction of National Centre for Governance, Integrity and Anti-Corruption (GIACC) (The Sun Daily 2018) and much more in all areas of the economic, social and political landscape. Made-up of Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia (Sabah & Sarawak); the 32.7 million people of diverse nationality and ethnic with 67.4% Malays, 24.6% Chinese, 7.3 % Indians and about 0.7 % ethnic other, (Department of Statistics Malaysia Official Portal 2018) struggle to forge a national identity after independence in 1957. At the formation of Malaysia in 1963, Barisan National , a coalition headed by United Malays National Organization or UMNO has since ruled until the historical tsunami on the 9th of May 2018. The Barisan National implemented a consolidation of the arts under one language Bahasa Malaysia (How 2015) that has become a much-researched topic not to mention forging a “new” identity (Lim 2008). Aside from the diverse ethnicity, cultures and religion, the strive to compete in the technology-driven economy of the future at the dawn of millennial and the impact of globalization which has contributed 11.2% to the 2% registered as international migrants of the overall population are significant catalyst for social change in any nation, Malaysia notwithstanding
