Tawarikh Melayu dan Melaka


Book Description

“...penerbitan esei-esei ini juga digerakkan oleh rasa tidak senang penulis terhadap beberapa orang yang berlagak sarjana ilmu tawarikh tetapi menulis hal-hal dongeng ciptaannya sendiri yang didakwanya sebagai sejarah, tanpa mengemukakan dalil sahih yang menjadi landasan penulisan ilmu tawarikh atau ilmu sejarah.” Dalam karya terbarunya ini, Prof. Emeritus Ahmat Adam membincangkan zaman silam Melaka dan kaitannya dengan tawarikh bangsa Melayu. Esei-esei yang terkumpul dalam buku ini adalah hasil daripada penyelidikan beliau, dan antara topik yang dibincangkan ialah penaklukan kesultanan Melayu Melaka oleh bangsa Portugis, perihal Laksamana Melaka yang bergelar Hang Tuha (bukan “Tuah”), dan warisan budaya Nusantara seperti ilmu huruf serta hubungannya dengan permasalahan dan makna huruf al-Qur’an yang sangat mempengaruhi para sarjana zaman dahulu.




Hikayat Raja Pasai


Book Description

Sekalipun sering dianggap sebagai karya pertama sastera klasik Melayu oleh kaum sarjana yang meminati ilmu pengajian Melayu, dan tela’ah demi tela’ah telah dilakukan terhadapnya sejak pertengahan abad ke-19, namun Hikayat Raja Pasai, belum pernah dikaji secara mendalam oleh sejarawan. Penerbitan edisi terbaru karya yang melakar zaman awal kedatangan Islam di Sumatera Utara oleh Prof. Emeritus Datuk Dr. Ahmat Adam ini adalah percubaan terkini beliau untuk mengetengahkan beberapa tafsiran baru mengenai karya klasik Melayu yang belum pernah diungkapkan oleh mana-mana kajian; satu daripadanya ialah aspek tasawuf di dalam karya itu.

The Sejarah Melayu Revisited


Book Description

“In a period where no native scholars of equal repute existed, where no one possessed similar levels of extensiveness and depth in terms of understanding Malay culture and literature, it must be admitted that the Orientalist stand taken by scholars like Winstedt was unavoidable. As a matter of fact, even today one can still find Malay scholars echoing his and other European Orientalists’ opinions...” Ahmat Adam * The Sejarah Melayu has been known by many names, and its text has changed too. Interpolations, recensions and revisions over the centuries have resulted in dozens of variants, which brings up many questions. Was Tun Seri Lanang the author of the text? Can the manuscript be regarded as an authoritative historical source? How entrenched are Orientalist views in contemporary scholarship of the Sejarah Melayu? The answers, as well as digressions into mystic letters and Portuguese loan words, can be found in this new collection of essays.




Enacting English across Borders


Book Description

This book houses contemporary theoretical and empirical studies by emergent researchers and scholars in the disciplines of ELT, Applied Linguistics and TESOL who address several newly-emerged and emerging issues in the field from their own contexts (predominantly Asian settings). Each chapter, in its own unique way, challenges, unpacks and critiques existing misconceptions and pre-conceived assumptions of the use, learning and teaching of English in today’s fluid and globalised, postmodern era. While some contributors to the book have brought such issues to the forefront through a critical consideration of histories and policies, others have explored how English is enacted, practised, learned, and/or taught across a wide range of settings in order to further illustrate the various manifestations of the worldwide expansion of the language. Together the chapters of this book highlight the current discrepancies and inconsistencies in different areas of interest in the field of ELT, and provide carefully considered suggestions on how to address these issues.




Antara Sejarah dan Mitos


Book Description

Sulalat u’s-Salatin atau Sejarah Melayu, bersama-sama dengan Hikayat Hang Tuah adalah dua buah karya klasik agung orang Melayu yang tidak perlu ditekankan peri pentingnya dalam sejarah kebudayaan bangsa itu. Dihasilkan pada abad ke-16 dan ke-17, karya yang asalnya ditulis berperingkat-peringkat dengan berdasarkan tradisi lisan, masing-masing telah menjadi rujukan utama dalam pengajian sejarah dan kebudayaan bangsa Melayu. Kendatipun banyak orang menganggap Sejarah Melayu sebagai sebuah karya sejarah yang bona fide, dan ramai pula yang menganggap Hikayat Hang Tuah adalah epik sejarah yang benar-benar meriwayatkan petualangan Laksamana Melaka yang hidup antara abad ke-15 dan ke-16, namun usaha membicarakan dua teks Melayu klasik ini tidak pernah dibuat secara kritis untuk menentukan dengan pasti sejauh mana Sejarah Melayu dapat dianggap sebagai sumber sejarah yang boleh dipercayai, dan sejauh mana pula manusia yang bernama Hang Tuah itu benar-benar wujud dalam sejarah. Mungkinkah kewujudan Hang Tuah itu hanya berasaskan kepercayaan banyak orang, setelah terpengaruh oleh Hikayat Hang Tuah yang pernah tersebar secara meluas di serata pelosok dunia Melayu semenjak tidak kurang daripada empat abad yang lalu? Buku Antara Sejarah dan Mitos yang bernada kritis ini ditulis oleh seorang sejarawan yang cuba merungkai persoalan kebolehpercayaan Sejarah Melayu sebagai sumber sejarah yang utuh, dan juga menganalisis secara kritis kewujudan Hang Tuah dalam sejarah silam Melaka bagi menentukan sama ada figur ini adalah benar-benar tokoh sejarah ataupun semata-mata tokoh yang dimitoskan sahaja.
