Negotiation Of Self And Identity: A Cixousian Study Of Gender And Sexuality In The Selected Works Of Indian Fiction In English By Indian Woman Writers
(2024-04)
Anuar, Nur Ain Nasuha
Within the literary sphere of Indian Fiction in English, Indian woman writers of home country and diaspora have emerged to bring forth women’s narratives about gender and sexuality through the female characters in their writings. The portrayal within these works emphasizes conflicting circumstances faced by female characters as a result of clashing traditional and contemporary values about gender and sexuality affecting the (re)formation of self and identity. In this study, three novels of Indian Fiction in English have been selected: one written by Indian woman writers from home country The Ministry of Utmost Happiness by Arundhati Roy, and two written by Indian woman writers from diaspora Before We Visit the Goddess by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and Well-Behaved Indian Women by Saumya Dave. This study intends to examine the strategies employed by the female characters in resisting heteropatriarchal normativities and the different ways the female characters redefine their self and identity in the selected novels. Using Hélène Cixous’s French feminist framework, the notions of “the feminine”, “the other”, other bisexuality and écriture feminine Cixous proposes are applied through Braun’s and Clarke’s six-step thematic analysis. The findings of the study reveal that the female characters in the three selected novels have demonstrated covert manifestations of resisting heteropatriarchal normativities such as through silence and subversion of feminine activities. In addition, the female characters have reconstructed their sense of self and identity by reclaiming their gender and sexuality.

(2024-05)
Zulkipli, Nor Idatul Akmar
Sejarah terjemahan ialah kayu ukur yang merekodkan aktiviti terjemahan merangkumi pihak-pihak yang terlibat dalam proses terjemahan, iaitu daripada latar belakang dan gaya penerbit, bahasa serta kaitannya dengan disiplin Pengajian Penterjemahan. Di Malaysia, kajian lampau berkaitan sejarah terjemahan pernah dilakukan oleh beberapa sarjana tempatan menerusi pendokumentasian karya terjemahan terhadap organisasi atau institusi terpilih. Meskipun begitu, kajian secara sistematik yang mendokumentasikan penerbitan karya terjemahan terutamanya yang diterbitkan oleh Institut Terjemahan dan Buku Malaysia (ITBM) belum pernah dilakukan oleh mana-mana pihak walhal institusi ini ialah satu-satunya badan rasmi terjemahan negara. Sebagai badan payung terjemahan di bawah pengawasan Menteri Kewangan Diperbadankan (MKD) dan Kementerian Pelajaran Malaysia (KPM), penubuhan ITBM asasnya adalah bagi memenuhi fungsi dan mandat berikut, iaitu sebagai institusi rasmi terjemahan yang mengendalikan hal ehwal terjemahan di peringkat tempatan dan antarabangsa juga selaku penerbit dalam ekosistem perbukuan yang menerbitkan serta memasarkan karya terjemahan. Dengan mengambil kira hal ini, kajian ini dilakukan bagi mendokumentasikan penerbitan terjemahan ITBM sebagai suatu usaha bagi mengisi kelompangan sejarah terjemahan berikut sekali gus menyumbang kepada kajian kepustakaan sebagai rujukan repositori pada masa akan datang. Kajian ini memanfaatkan kaedah kualitatif dan analisis dihuraikan secara deskriptif menerusi kerangka naungan oleh Lefevere (1992) serta arkeologi xix terjemahan oleh Pym (1998) dan D’hulst (2010).
Metode Penfatwaan Jawatankuasa Fatwa Negeri Perak: Analisis Terhadap Fatwa-Fatwa Negeri Perak Dari Tahun 2016 Hingga 2019
(2024-07)
Mohd Sabri, Muhammad Nazirul
The Perak State Fatwa Committee (JFNPk) is a religious institution with full of jurisdictions and authority to decide and issue fatwas in the state of Perak based on its own methodology (manhaj). However, research has found that some of the fatwas issued by JFNPk differ in methodology from those of other states, lack uniformity in the fatwa-issuing methods, and are heavily bound to the Shāfi'ī school of law. Therefore, this study aims to identify the basic fatwa-issuing methodologies among Islamic scholars. Subsequently, it examines the methodologies applied by JFNPk by referring to several fatwas from the years 2016 to 2019 as case studies. The study also analyzes the fatwas that have been decided in terms of their fatwa-issuing methods. The methodology of this study uses a qualitative approach by analyzing content, wherein data collection methods, interviews, documentation, and data analysis are presented descriptively. As a result, this study shows that the practice of issuing fatwas by JFNPk follows the fatwa-issuing methodologies established by Islamic scholars. The study also found that there are several methodological aspects that need improvement, especially regarding the authority of sources in the process of istidlāl (derivation of legal rulings). Subsequently, this study suggests the creation of a standardized guideline module for issuing fatwas, as uniformity in methodology can ensure the quality of fatwa research and public trust.

The results show that the effect factors affecting the innovation and R&D capacity of global cities emphasize the importance of geographical proximity of stakeholders, collaborative links, and local government interventions. The research emphasizes that the innovation achievements and prosperity of global cities are the result of the interaction of stakeholders with local conditions (a series of resources of expertise, skills, physical facilities, and funding). The international connectivity of global cities in innovation is considered the collaborative link between multinational companies and local innovation stakeholders. However, local and multinational firms differ in their use and share these resources, the most fundamental difference is the influence of corporate strategy, collaborative networks, and social capital on the configuration of the innovation and R&D process.
The Role Of Muhammad Yusof Bin Ahmad In The Development Of Malay Education, 1920 - 1950
(2014)
Abidin, Ahmad Husni Ahmad Zainal
This study examines the role of Muhammad Yusof bin Ahmad during a time when the social upward mobility of the Malay peasantry was dependent on Malay education and access to educational opportunities. Therefore, the objectives are; to analyze the development of Malay vernacular education in British Malaya from its inception to 1950; to discuss the emergence of the Malay Educational Service (MES) comprising a group of Malay administrators empowered to play a leading role; to employ a biographical approach to the study of Muhammad Yusof in constructing a historical biography with a special focus on his leadership attributes and dynamic relationship with British decision-makers; to evaluate Muhammad Yusof’s contribution to education development in Selangor, and British Malaya. To meet these objectives, Muhammad Yusof is weighed in as a focal point, with supporting data extracted from colonial records, curricula, Department of Education reports, and publications including surviving evidence from Muhammad Yusof’s archives. This is essential to consider what the Malay education development in British Malaya was all about; who the MES officials from 1920 to 1950 were, and their roles, responsibilities, and contributions to Malay education; who was Muhammad Yusof, and what was his role and contribution to Malay education. Lastly, it is on his work, influence, and impact as an education activist. For a methodology, a combination of qualitative method and a biographical approach is employed to discuss neglected areas in history and to reach a conclusion whereby there are two types of British officials whose action or inaction had a huge bearing on a given outcome. Equally important is the role of the MES, its Malay officials in general, and Muhammad Yusof in particular, to fill a gap in historical knowledge and to open the way to rethinking the colonial period. The broader implication of this study is that despite the inevitability of British domination, Muhammad Yusof had leveraged the constructive nature of British educationalists and navigated as an agent of change to advance the cause for Malay education and beyond.
