Pendekatan Sinkronik Dalam Sejarah Sastera Melayu Di Negeri-Negeri Selat 1826-1926
(2019-04)
Kamari, Noridah
Tesis ini membincangkan kelompongan dalam penulisan sejarah sastera Melayu pada abad ke-19 di Negeri-negeri Selat (Pulau Pinang, Melaka dan Singapura), khususnya dari tahun 1826 hingga 1926. Permasalahan asas yang menjadi tunjang perbincangan berhubungan dengan perubahan dan kesan-kesan yang ditinggalkan oleh mubaligh Kristian ke atas masyarakat Melayu di Negeri-negeri Selat. Tesis bermatlamat untuk mengkaji dan memperbaiki kelemahan pendekatan diakronik yang bersifat makro dalam penulisan sejarah sastera Melayu yang menjadi amalan para sarjana sebelum ini. Kajian sejarah sastera yang lebih mendalam memerlukan pendekatan yang lebih kritis dan tidak konvensional, khususnya melalui pendekatan sinkronik sebagaimana yang diusulkan oleh Teeuw (1986). Melalui kajian terhadap surat-surat, buku, minit mesyuarat, majalah dan risalah-risalah yang terbit di Negeri-negeri Selat pada abad ke- 19, mendedahkan usaha oleh mubaligh Kristian untuk membina sebuah sub-genre Sastera Melayu Kristian sebagai bahan bacaan sastera kepada masyarakat Melayu. Tulisan para mubaligh Kristian dan penjajah Inggeris yang sarat dengan pemikiran orientalisme akan diberi penilaian semula melalui pendekatan oksidentalisme, khususnya seperti yang diutarakan oleh Hassan Hanafi (1995). Kaedah oksidentalisme mendedahkan tiga pecahan utama dalam pemikiran orientalisme, iaitu hegemoni budaya Barat ke atas Timur, ideologi keunggulan moral Barat dan pesona terhadap Barat.
An Analysis Of The Textual Indeterminacies In Iris Murdoch’S The Unicorn And The Sea, The Sea
(2019-07)
Nejad, Soheila Farhani
This study attempts to investigate the way meaning can be created in two novels by Iris Murdoch , T he Unicorn and The Sea, T he Sea , by emphasizing the n ecessity of interaction between th e reader and the text in the reading process. The main theoretical approaches that will be applied to these novels are structuralism and reader response theory particularly the concepts of “aesthetic response” and “literar y competence” as developed by Iser and Culler, respectively. This will inclu de an investigation of the function of textual indeterminacies as well as various perspectives in these novels. It will be argued that the reader’s ability to reorganize and synthe size the text’s structure of “repertoire” and “strategies” can contribute to the process of making sense of various perspectives and indeterminacies in the text. Moreover, analyzing readers’ ability to “naturalize” different textual elements can be helpful in establishing the function of “literary competence” in the reader’s response to these novels. In this sense, this thesis hopes to bridge the gap in critical response to Murdoch’s fiction by arguing that the combination of certain literary conventions and strategies in each novel as well as the reader’s “literary competence” can contribute to the “actualization” of meaning . The main reason behind the selection of these two novels is the way they are categoriz ed by the critics. Both novels reflect the difficulty of categorization in Murdoch’s practice of writing fiction. The Unicorn is a novel of Gothic mystery and sensation, while The Sea, T he Sea is an autobiographical novel dealing with the narrator’s quest for self - discovery. The Gothic excess in The Unicorn is reflected in the morbidity of the atmosphere as well as sensational events including
Norms And Habitus In Two English Translations Of Hong Lou Meng
(2025-07)
Wang, Yun
Translation is not merely a linguistic process but a culturally embedded practice shaped by various norms, motivations, and constraints. Understanding the interplay of these factors is essential for analyzing how translations mediate cultural exchange and reflect broader socio-cultural dynamics. Toury’s Norm theory is pivotal in elucidating translation practices, yet its limitations lie in its neglect of the motivations and constraints underlying norms. Addressing this theoretical lacuna, Bourdieu’s sociological theory offers a complementary framework. This study proposes an integrated methodology to investigate norms and habitus in two English translations of Hong Lou Meng (A Dream of Red Mansions translated by Yang Xianyi and Gladys Yang, and The Story of the Stone translated by David Hawkes and John Minford), within the Chinese and British literary translation fields.
The Dissemination And Reception Of The English Translations Of Xi You Ji In The English-Speaking World
(2025-08)
Tong, Ruolin
Xi You Ji is a Chinese literary canon which enjoys popularity worldwide. Given the important role played by the overseas spread of fictions in cultural transmission, there is a need to identify the transformation of XYJ’s images in the English-speaking world, determining the changes in the reception of XYJ by Western readers, and establishing the way human and non-human actors function in the translation, introduction and dissemination of XYJ in the literary field. This thesis presents a novel hybrid methodology integrating paratext theory and sociological theories via paratexts. This study selects 11 English versions of XYJ. The criteria for inclusion are independent books that are physically or digitally obtainable, cover a long time span, are published by different types of publishers and enjoy high popularity worldwide

Bature, Muhammad Maryam
Islam has come with numerous reforms the cut across all cultures of thworld in pre-Islamic and post-Islamic eras which are meant to influence peaceful coexistence among people of the world.
