Download or read book The Malay Art of Self Defense written by Sheikh Shamsuddin and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silat Seni Gayong is an art of self-defense, a fighting art but one that also emphasizes the development of the self, becoming a better person, and serving humanity. Sometimes compared to a tiger ready to devour its prey, Gayong helps practitioners develop and increase physical fitness, flexibility, mental conditioning, and self-confidence. Author Sheikh Shamsuddin, who has studied Gayong for 25 years, introduces this little-known practice to Western readers in this first book on the subject in English. The most comprehensive study in any language on Gayong and its customs, The Malay Art of Self-Defense explores in depth the system, techniques, crucial elements, and philosophies involved. Also covered are the art's history, profiles of the most notable practitioners, and an informative Q&A collected from various martial art practitioners to expand readers' knowledge and appreciation. Included are photos of Gayong demonstrations, traditional training centers, customs, and events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2,408 islands of Indonesia's Kepri (Kepulauan Riau or Riau Islands) province are said to be "sprinkled like a shake of pepper" across the Straits of Melaka and South China Sea. For two millennia until colonial times, they were part of the 'maritime silk road' between China and Southeast, South and West Asia. Kepri's two million inhabitants thus share a seafaring worldview that is reflected in their traditions and daily life and is expressed most commonly in the performing arts of its largest and smallest population groups, the Kepri Malays and the formerly nomadic Orang Suku Laut (People of the Sea) respectively. In recent decades, Kepri also has become home to large numbers of immigrants from other parts of Indonesia, some of whom practise the Malay as well as their own ethnic arts. Despite its close proximity to Singapore, this is a little-known world, one brought to life in a fascinating and innovative study. Grounded in extensive fieldwork, the volume explores not only the islands' iconic Malay (Melayu) performing arts--music, poetry, dance, martial arts, bardic arts, theatre and ritual--but also issues of space and place, local identity and popular memory. Generously illustrated and with a companion website presenting related audio-visual material, Performing the Arts of Indonesia will be an essential resource for anyone interested in this fascinating region.
Download or read book ISSUES IN TRADITIONAL MALAYSIAN CULTURE written by GHULAM-SARWAR YOUSOF and published by Partridge Singapore. This book was released on 2014 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a selection of non-academic materials on a wide range of topics related to Malaysian culture. Several of them deal with traditional Malay theatre genres, particularly mak yong, recognised by UNESCO as an item of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2005, the shadow play and bangsawan. Others record the contributions of prominent personalities as practitioners, preservers, teachers and transmitters of oral traditions. The author touches upon issues related to the precarious situation in the arts in a rapidly changing Malay society which has in general neglected traditional performing arts forms under pressures exerted by modenisation and the simultaneous wave of Islamicisation. His own involvement in teaching, research, documentation as well as preservation of many of these arts provides unique personal insights into some of the problems and pertinent issues. Other essays of a more general nature, touch upon the continuing and at times controversial relationships between Malay cultural manifestations and those in neighbouring countries, contributions of the minority Indian-Muslim community in Malaysia, and upon the role of the administration in the preservation of heritage. The brief accounts contained in this volume are presented in a direct and readable manner for the non-expert enthusiast of culture and the arts from the perspective of someone deeply and passionately involved.

Book excerpt: With dozens of beautiful photographs and extensive text, this Malaysian art book is a testament to the skill and spirituality of Malaysia's traditional woodcarvers. Wood has always played a significant role in the Malay world, including the Malay Peninsula, as a means of shelter, livelihood, comfort and convenience. Among the living arts of Malaysia, woodcarving is one of the oldest, and for centuries woodcarvers enjoyed a prestige that few others did. A master woodcarver was not simply an artist. He had a mystical affinity with his material, and through his art he could unlock, channel and enhance the semangat, or life force, inherent in the wood. His works ere sought after not only for their beauty, but also for the symbolic power and meaning they embodied, in particular the keris, considered the pinnacle of woodcarver's art. Each of the pieces in this catalog of Malaysian art illustrates a specific motif, use of a pattern or form, or interpretation of a legend. The woodcarvings range from extremely important and rare pieces, such as royal ceremonial objects, to wood panels, household objects and elements of traditional Malay architecture.

This book was released on with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kegiatan seminar yang berlangsung selama dua hari (28-29 November 2012) tersebut, menghadirkan 10 orang narasumber, terutama para akademisi yang concern dalam pengkajian Melayu baik dari dalam maupun luar negeri, seperti Prof. Margaret Kartomi (Monash University), Prof. Dr. Azyumardi Azra, M.A. (UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta), Henri Chambert-Loir (Peneliti Manuskrip Melayu dari Perancis), Prof. Datuk Wira Dr. Abdul Latiff bin Abu Bakar (University Pendidikan Sultan Idris Malaysia), Suryadi, M.A (Leiden University Institute for Area Studies), Prof. Dr. Abdul Hadi, WM (Universitas Paramadina Jakarta), Prof. Dr. Yusmar Yusuf (Universitas Riau) Prof. Dr. H. Mahdi Bahar, S.Kar., M.Hum (ISI Padangpanjang), Prof. Dr. Sri Hastanto, S.Kar (ISI Surakarta), dan Prof. Dr. I Wayan Rai S, M.A (ISI Denpasar). Selain narasumber tersebut, prosiding seminar ini juga memuat makalah-makalah partisipan (call pappers) yang berasal dari berbagai disiplin ilmu. Seminar yang dihadiri oleh 350 orang peserta ini, dimaksudkan sebagai upaya untuk menggali, memetakan dan mendefinisikan kembali Melayu dalam ruang lingkup yang sesungguhnya, yakni sebagai sebuah dunia Melayu dengan keberagaman etnis, budaya dan geografis, yang dirajut oleh latar belakang nilai-nilai humanistik yang sama. Wacana mengenai kemelayuan justru seringkali mengecilkan peran dan arti penting peradaban Melayu. Sejumlah pihak malah menyatakan klaim sebagai pemilik sah kebudayaan Melayu, yang nyatanya menjadi milik komunal rumpun bangsa Melayu itu sendiri, yang tersebar di kawasan Asia Tenggara dan Nusantara khususnya sejak zaman Melayu Tua (proto Melayu) sampai Melayu Muda (deutro Melayu). Persepsi mengenai Melayu pun kemudian menjadi sangat lokal dan spesifik. Hal ini tentunya sangat merugikan dan memecah-belah masyarakat dan peradaban Melayu itu sendiri Prosiding Seminar Internasional ini disusun sebagai dokumentasi dari sebuah diskursus keilmuan, yang pada akhirnya dapat menjadi salah satu sumber pemikiran dan informasi mengenai dunia Melayu dalam perspektif seni dan budaya. Oleh karena itu, panitia memberikan apresiasi dan ucapan terima kasih kepada seluruh narasumber yang telah menyumbangkan ide, gagasan dan pemikirannya. Ucapan terima kasih juga disampaikan kepada seluruh pihak yang telah berperan aktif dalam menyukseskan kegiatan seminar ini.

Download or read book Malaysia s Canvas written by James H. Springer and published by Gerakbudaya Enterprise. This book was released on with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 2014, an international colony of young, freewheeling and footloose artists held a group exhibition that would stand as a pivotal turning point for the future of George Town, Penang. It was an exhibition destined to make the artists household names, infamous for boldly swinging into parties and installing challenging art onto Southeast Asian walls. It would also spell the return of George Town to a worldwide destination, a city relegated to backwater ashes rising to heights shared by heritage, culture, and cosmopolitanism. In this personal exposé, James H. Springer documents the lives and times of artists during the period of 2010 to 2016, telling the story of George Town’s gentrification through their own influential experiences. Through childhood memories, artistic inspirations, fluctuating relationships and artwork – learn how these young artists lay a new path for George Town going into unpredictable times. During what could arguably be described as Malaysia’s most troubling political era, Springer describes how the flourishing of art in George Town gave its population a much needed respite from federal government tomfoolery. In addition, George Town’s rising art scene gave Penang State a leg up in economic prosperity, creating an unheard of level of opportunity that would either be capitalised on or squandered. Malaysia’s Canvas lays bare the reality of being an artist in a developing country and the change it can inspire, with no holds barred.
